Escaping
Kally looked around the room, looking for a way to escape. Nothing, there is no way out until Numair comes back, and what am I supposed to tell him? Oh, Numair, I snuck into your study, so I can steal the sample magic and prove that my betrothed is conspiring against the crown? Yea, that'll work. The study was small, with a desk in the center and a bookshelf on one wall. There was one window, but to get out of it, she would need a very tall ladder. Kalasin had nowhere to hide. Unless . . . Kally stood behind the door and waited. What is taking him so long? What did Thom do to make him leave for so long? Kally waited for what seemed like hours. Finally, she wondered around the room. She poked around the bookshelf, finding a letter shoved in-between two books, like someone stuck it there in a hurry. Ever curious, she pulled it out and opened it.
To Daine,
When I see your face, your bright eyes
My heart skips a beat, I can't deny.
Your curly hair makes me quiver,
When you kiss me I begin to shiver.
Nothing compares to your touch.
This is why I love you so much.
Love Numair
"Wow, I didn't know he felt so strongly about her." Kally said aloud. The door handle began to shake, and Kally gasped, running behind the door.
Numair walked in, muttering something about "Thom . . .. Floating objects . . . . .should know how to undo . . . . .. Waste of my time . . . . .."
Kally held her breathe as Numair passed her, and when he turned his back, she slipped out the door, just as it closed. Daine was not in the main room, Thank You. Kally said to the Gods. Kally was almost out the door, when she realized she still held the letter to Daine. Where am I supposed to put this? She looked around, and placed it on the table where she had hid earlier. There, Daine should find it here. Satisfied, Kally slipped out the other door into the hall, and ran to the place she was supposed to meet Thom.
He was there, waiting impatiently. "Where have you been?" he asked crossly when he saw her running towards him.
Out of breathe, Kally stopped and sat down. "Oh my, I almost got caught by Daine! She accidentally locked me into Nuamir's study, and I had to slip out when he opened the door, because of all the charms and spells on it. But I got what we needed, now we just have to get a sample of Jethro's magic."
"I can help you with that." Kally and Thom jumped; they didn't know any one else was near. They looked to the speaker, surprised to see that it was Rick.
Kally, not sure of what to say, just stared. "Y-you want to help us?" her eyes were hopeful that she had forgiven her, for what she thought about his family. Rick nodded, "I-I couldn't let them, hurt you, or the crown. I saw how much you were worried about your mother, and I had to help stop them. When I found out that you thought they might have done it, I confronted my brother. He was shocked, and angry and told me that I would be accused of treason if I told, and that he would hunt me down for being a snitch. But I, I just couldn't let him do it. I heard your plans before, and while you were getting the sample from Numair, I got this." He held up a sample of his brother's magic, in another opal bottle. It glittered the same shade of yellow-orange that Kally had obtained before.
"It is him, I was right!" Kally exclaimed. "But how will I tell this to father?"
They decided to tell him at dinner, in front of everyone, while they ate, so everyone will know who has poisoned the Queen.
**Hey, hey! Next chapter should end it. Sorry about the looong delay, I had such a busy week! **
