The Adventure
"Everyone here?" asked Kally.
"Yep," answered Chloe. "We go out the same way you snuck me out, right?"
"Exactly."
"I love adventures." Said Kel. "I had no problem getting away from Lord Wlydon, he still ignores me most of the time. The only time he notices if I'm there or not is at supper."
"Well, then we'd better get away before supper then." Said Thom. "Does everyone have warm clothes? I think it's going to be getting colder soon."
"Yep," everyone replied in unison.
"Good, then lets go,"
The group snuck out, careful not to meet anyone on the way. They met up with the horses that Kel had snuck out after class and rode into the city.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * *
"When will we be there?" asked Chloe. "My but is seriously killing me."
"Umm, well, the city is probly about 20 minutes away, we can rent rooms at the nearest Inn." Replied Thom.
"Good," Chloe groaned.
Chloe, Thom, Kel and Kally got to a suitable inn in half an hour, and rented 2 rooms, one for Thom and the other for the girls to share.
When they were full and clean, the girls were all sitting around the fire, wrapped in blankets. (Time for a little girl talk!!)
"So, Kel," started Chloe slowly, grinning a little, "How did you end up sending Joren home?"
Kel turned beet red. "Well, I guess I'll tell you the story. Ever since you left, Joren seemed to want my help on things a lot, and he kept asking to sit with us at mealtimes. If that wasn't strange enough, I had started to fall for him too. I think it's his eyes. . .." Kel drifted off.
"His eyes . . ." Chloe continued.
"Oh, right. Anyway, we were alone in the stables, and he kissed me, I kissed back, the Stump caught us and sent him home." Kel finished quickly.
"Oh, come on, there has to be more!!" Kally exclaimed.
Kel grinned slyly.
"Ooooooooooo, that was mean!" cried Chloe.
"Well, what about you and Thom? There's got to be something there," said Kel, changing the topic from her to Chloe.
"Thom? I don't, I would never ….." stammered Chloe as she blushed. "Well, he's cute," she started.
"That's good, build on that . . . ." prompted Kally.
"Oh, he's so nice and well-built and I like him, but I don't think he likes me!" Chloe finished. "And plus, if I go home, then I would probly never see him again!"
"Yea, well, don't let that stop you!" cried Kally. "You need to tell him, otherwise, you'll never get over him!" Kel nodded in agreement.
Chloe sighed, "I need some sleep." And she turned around to gather her pillow.
Kally and Kel looked at each other, and slowly picked up their pillows. "PILLOW FIGHT!!!!!" the screamed together. They both threw their pillows at the very surprised Chloe, who, after a minute's hesitation, threw hers' back. So the fight began. And it continued late in to the night, until one by one the exhausted girls fell asleep, on the floor, surrounded by feathers . . . .
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Chloe yawned, "good morning!" she said, stretching. Kel copied her, and looked surprised, she wasn't used to sleeping this late. Kally was still fast asleep. "I'm going to get breakfast," announced Chloe, and got up.
"Okay," Kel said as she lay back down, "Sleeping in feels good."
Chloe grinned and walked out the door.
Coming back up with breakfast, she bumped into Thom.
"Hey, Good morning." Thom said, hiding a grin.
That's when Chloe realized what she must look like. Her blonde hair must've looked like a rat's nest and her clothes, pajamas, must be wrinkled and crooked.
"So that's why they looked at me funny when I ordered breakfast!" Chloe realized.
"Yea, I guess that's what it was," Thom said.
"Oh, shut up! I don't think you look any better, Mr. I'm-all-perfect." Chloe retorted.
"I'm not perfect." Thom snapped back, and more softly said "I think you look nice, for someone who just rolled out of bed."
Chloe looked at him. That was what she would miss the most. His honesty and how he always commented her.
His eyes were strong and intense, drawing her closer. And closer. . . . . . . Their lips reached each other's and sparks flew. It was the most meaningful kiss Chloe had ever had. When they let each other go, they realized that breakfast was all over them and that they had an audience. Kel and Kally to be precise. They mock applauded when Thom and Chloe noticed them, as they both blushed the same shade of red.
"I'm guessing that was our breakfast?" guessed Kally, wide-awake after what she saw.
"Yes. It was." Replied Chloe, eyeing a clump of oatmeal on Thom's shoulder. Before Kally knew what had happened, she had a blob of oatmeal in the middle of her face.
"Oh, you …." She said and scooped up a piece from the floor. Chloe ducked, and Kel, who was sneaking behind Chloe for more ammunition, got hit on her right cheek.
"You're dead!" she cried. She scooped the piece she was aiming for and threw it at Kally, who ducked, (duh what'd you expect her to do) and the piece hit Thom, who was attempting to slither away, already covered in oatmeal and smooched bananas. The fight was on, Thom hit Kally, and Kally missed Thom and hit a wall, while Kel threw a piece of squished banana at Chloe, who ignored it as she threw scrambled eggs at Kally . . . . . Suddenly, Chloe threw a piece of oatmeal at Thom, who dodged it, and it flew past him, right onto a very important looking guest's shirt.
Uhoh. Chloe thought, busted.
All four of them looked at their feet. The noble turned in a huff, back to his room muttering something along the lines of ". . Stupid little children, don't know where to play and when not to . . ."
When he was out of sight, they all started to laugh. "Did you see his face when it hit his shirt? That was sooo funny!!" cried Chloe.
A cough made them all turn in the opposite direction. The owner of the Inn plus a few of his servants were all standing behind them, most servants, hiding a grin, but the owner was none too pleased.
"OUT! Out of my Inn before you chase away all my guests!"
The four ran up the rest of the stairs, giggling to themselves. They changed and packed quickly, and were very quiet as they walked out of the Inn, pretending not to notice all the guests hide their laughter.
As soon as they were out, Chloe, Kally, Kel and Thom burst out into another fit of laughter, while mounting their horses and riding off towards Stone Mountain.
**Okay kidz, that's the end of that chapter. I think the next one will end it. Ooooo, im sad now. But I already have an idea for a new one!! ~CJ~ **
"Everyone here?" asked Kally.
