Part
7: Fights (original???)
Just then Kel heard what the others were
saying, "-wishing seems to make her magic work. She has to-"
Kel couldn't take them talking about
Rachel as if she weren't there. "Numair!" She yelled. If he wasn't going to pay
attention to his student, then she was going to. She liked Rachel, even if she
was hyper sometimes.
"What?"
"Hello, can't you see that she seems to
be doing magic?"
"Huh?"
"Numair, you aren't helping. If she
really wants something to happen it will, right?"
"Isn't that what I was saying before you
interrupted me? Yes, of course it was. Now Kel, if you would get to the point
of these questions, I would really appreciate it." Instead of answering him,
Kel just pointed to where Rachel was supposed to be.
Everybody just stood there staring at
where Rachel was supposed to have been. Roald, Numair, Neal, Daine, everybody
with the exception of Kel looked totally surprised.
"What- Where- Wasn't-" They all didn't
know what to say. Kel just went over to Rachel and brought her hand down. All
of a sudden, Kel's hand just stopped.
"Why'd you hit me, Kel?"
"To show them that you used your magic
to disappear. I think I should add that you can't always wish to disappear when
things aren't looking so good."
"Yeah. Rachel, I know that you're new
here, but you can't always disappear when you don't want to be around." Neal
said. Kel elbowed him in the stomach. She knew that anybody who is sane would
get angry at that.
Kel knew that Rachel was mad when she
appeared right behind Neal. "What did you say? Do you mean to tell me that you
think I'm trying to hide from you?"
Neal could tell that Rachel was really
mad. "Uh, um. Yes?"
"Well, let me see. You, you, you-"
pointing to each of them in turn, "you, you and you. Were talking about me like
I wasn't even here. Why not disappear and let you talk about me when I'm really
not." With that she walked away with Daine and Kel in tow.
"Rachel, where are you taking us?" Daine
and Kel said in unison. They were starting to get worried about Rachel. They
didn't know what she was capable of when she was mad.
"To Kel's room. It's got a nice lock on
it and only Kel has the key for. So therefore, no one can get in unless we want
them to." They got to Kel's room and Kel opened the door. Kel closed the door
just has Neal walked into the hallway.
"We have to close the shutters so that
they can't get in that way." Daine nodded and they worked to get the shutters
closed.
"Kel, come on. Let me in! Why won't you
let me in? I didn't do anything to any of you. Come on, lat me in!"
"Neal, go away! I'm not going to let
you, Roald, Numair or anybody else in! Us girls need to talk! Would you like to
listen to us talk about girl things?"
"No, no. Just forget I ever asked." Neal
went away and all three of them just started laughing. About 3 hours later
Daine, Kel and Rachel were still talking and locked in Kel's room. Not one
person could get them out. The King had even tried twice and failed.
They were talking about different kinds
of magic, when somebody knocked on the door. "Kel, can I come in? It's me
Alanna." Kel looked at Rachel and she nodded. She walked over to the door, put
her hands on the knob and closed her eyes. A few minutes later, Rachel opened
her eyes and mouthed, "It's okay. Its just Alanna."
Kel opened the door a crack; saw Alanna
standing there by herself. Kel put her head out and didn't see anybody else.
She beckoned to Alanna and opened the door wider. Alanna walked in and Kel
closed the door again and locked it.
"What can we do for you? Or did you come
by here on King Jonathon's orders?" By the look on Alanna's face, she still
wasn't very happy with him. "Sorry, it's just I've never met you so- Oh, just
forget I ever said it!" Kel was showing emotions that she hadn't really ever
let anyone see.
"No, I didn't come because somebody told
me too. I came because I want to talk to you, all three of you."
"Why?"
"Well, first of all, I want to hear from
Rachel how she got here, then I want to see how you're doing on your knight
training. I need to talk to you and Daine, on what's been happening around
here. In Pirate's Swoop, I wouldn't listen to anything that was going on around
here. Now how about we all get to know each other better?"
For the next 3 hours, they talked like
that, and without noticing it, talked through the night. Actually, they fell
asleep around midnight and slept till noon.
Kel woke with a start, and as she
realized what time it was her mind cleared and she was totally awake. Everybody
else was already awake and talking again.
"Guys, I have to get to class. Oh, I'm
so late!"
"Not to worry, Kel. Since we stayed up
until midnight, talking, we also kept everyone else up. I heard Lord Wyldon
telling the pages to just sleep in. Guess who he's blaming it on? The four of
us!!"
"Obviously, Lord Wyldon didn't get that
much sleep either last night. He isn't usually this grouchy." Daine looked
worried.
"I'm hungry. Can we go get something to
eat?" When they walked into the lunchroom, everyone else was eating. They all
looked up and the room was suddenly quiet.
Alanna said, loud enough for everyone
else to hear, "What? Is something interesting?" The room was immediately noisy
again.
When they found a table where nobody
else was, Alanna said, "Since I became a knight, pages and squires have never
been my strongpoint. They're always doing something that makes me angry. That's
why I wasn't allowed near you, Kel. They told me it was unfair." She looked up
when a shadow fell over the table.
