Decisions, Decisions 5
Kel overcomes her fear of heights for a while and makes a decision. I'm not telling who. It's all a bit confusing.

Cleon walked over to the edge and motioned for her to join him. Kel walked over, but couldn't go up to the edge and
look down.
"Come on Kel, I won't let you fall." Cleon said gently. When she fiercely refused, he stepped behind her, and
wrapped his arms around her waist. Slowly, he forced her to talk tiny steps with him towards the railing at the edge. He
bowed his head slightly to make his mouth level with her ear and said, "Come on, Kel. Look down. Just this once. For me."
Suddenly she wasn't afraid anymore. It was like her fear was just... gone. She looked down. They were right above the rose
gardens. "I'm so glad you said yes, Kel. I love you so much." He tightened his grip, then flipped her around and kissed her.
Though it entered her mind to struggle- what if Gwen or Niko saw- but she didn't; she didn't kiss him back, though, either.
She did like his kisses, though, so sweet, gentle and re-assuring.
"Cleon, you love me, right?" she innocently asked after he broke the kiss that made her forget everything that
bothered her for a few sweet seconds.
"Of course, my rose. What might have you thinking other wise" he asked, looking at her face for clues, was this
Roald or the new page's doing?
"I don't know. Could you just do one thing for me? Tell me that this is all a dream?" she begged
"Why? I can let you decide for yourself. Me, I like this dream. Do you think that this is a dream?" he kissed her
again, making her decide for herself. The kiss was so sweet and full of love that she almost did think it was a dream- too
good to be true, but she pulled away and turned her back to him. What if it wasn't, and Niko and Gwen really were her and
Roald's children? What would she do? She looked down at the roses, thanks to Cleon, somehow, she wasn't afraid anymore. "I
have a feeling that this 'dream' just took a bad turn." He placed his arm around her waist again. She sighed, surrendering,
and laid her head on his strong chest to think. She thought she heard steps sounding lightly behind them.
"Cleon, have you seen..." he trailed off and stared as Cleon, arms tight around Kel, turned his head, and Prosper
caught a glimpse of her head resting on the squire's chest. Kel turned and jerked away from her fiancé, turning to face the
page.
"Can I help you with something Prosper?" she sighed, why her?
"Um... Lord Raoul needs you, Kel. You are his squire." He spilled out.
"Where is he?"
"In the second lesser library." He raised an eyebrow at her and glanced at Cleon, asking the silent deadly question.
"You talk to him." She snapped at Cleon and set off for the lesser libraries.

"You sent for me, my lord?" Kel bowed to her knight-master
"Yes, Kel it's time for you to wake up." He said, sounding more like Cleon than himself.
"Sir?" she asked, confused; usually he was clear when he spoke.
"Kel. Wake up." He said again. His hair was... red. Kel closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously.

When she opened them, she was lying on her bed in her room, with Cleon holding her hand.
"Hey. It's time you woke up. I've been trying to get you to come around for the last five minutes." He said sensibly,
then smiled "It was almost funny. I bet the three of us were a sight to see when you fainted like that. I brought you up.
Lalasa just came from her shop with a new dress for you and saw me carrying you in her. She almost killed me." He got a
distant, misty smile on his face. "I always knew she was special." At that Kel laughed. "She just left. After my lecture."
Kel giggled and sat up.
"So let me get this straight. I was just out in the gardens with Roald, Neal and you, right?" she said slowly. He
nodded. "Roald told me that there was a new girl page, right?" another nod. "Then I told you yes, right?" a big grin and nod.
"Then I fainted, correct?" he nodded. "That's all?"
"Yup. I'm glad you made up your mind. And I'm lucky to be the one that you decided to have. Or in our case, keep." He
smiled and kissed her. "Feel better?" she nodded.
"But what about the girl squire? What's her name? Who's her sponsor?" her heartbeat raced, 'please let all that have
been a dream. All that with Gwen and Niko and Roald. I'm not cut out to be a princess.'
"Let's see. We'd have let you sponsor her, but squires can't sponsor pages, especially if they have a knight-master,
so her name's, um, Cynthiyah of Malven, and her sponsor is, uh, I don't remember. Some second-year squire. She's a mean
little thing. Acts almost like Joren, only she's a girl. Looks a lot like him too." He added.
"You know, Cleon? I'm glad I chose you. I love you, and you make me relax."
"Relax?! I must not be doing my job right then. I'll have to get some tips from Neal on how to do stuff like make
you angry and annoyed and" she silenced him with a hand over his mouth.
"Cleon. Stop, okay? I get the point." She smiled "I love you just how you are." She kissed his cheek. "Now to tell
the others."
"That can wait." He whispered, wrapping his arms around her and kissed her with such a strong feeling of passion and
love that it made her feel giddy and like liquid, just sitting there in her love's arms.
