Part
9: Fights + Reunions
Magelet_03
The fight wasn't as short as Neal had
expected it to be. Kel looked like she was really tired half way through the
duel. Neal took advantage of that and disarmed her. He almost started to smile
has Kel opened her mouth while looking up to see her sword flying through the
air away from her.
He immediately sobered when Kel said,
"Crap!" and did a couple of back flips into the air, stopped, held out her hand
and Kel's sword dropped into her hand.
Kel smiled, she had been practicing that
move since December and this was the first time she had actually caught her
sword. She looked at Neal and saw that he had a look of bewilderment on his
face, and Kel saw that the crowd was equally as bewildered and Kel loved it.
She circled him and waited for him to
lunge at her. She knew that she could outwait him. Five minutes later, he did.
He lunged and Kel saw his weak spot immediately. His sword. He didn't have a
good grip on his sword.
She used a move that she didn't know she
could do, and disarmed him. Her sword snaked up to kiss his neck.
"I yield." Neal said. As soon as he said
that, Kel turned around without even saying good job or anything and walked
over to her group of supporters.
They walked out as Neal heard someone
whisper, "It's not right for friends to be fighting like this. Just isn't
right."
Two days later Rachel ran into Seaver.
"It's your fault you know. It's your fault that Kel, Roald and Daine won't talk
to us. Princess Kalasin walks by us and we hear her hissing. All your fault.
Never gonna forgive you."
Rachel laughed, "My fault? How is it my
fault? This would've happened sooner or later. You guys just aren't as tight as
you once thought."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. What are you going to do about
it?" By this time they were both angry and yelling at each other.
"I'm going to find Roald. Make him see
what your doing. Then all your friends won't be your friends anymore!"
Kel had walked outside and had heard
this little exchange, now she laughed, "Seaver, obviously you can't see one
thing that's stopping you. The only one that I haven't told yet in my little
group is Rachel and well, I just coming to tell her. Why don't you stay, listen
and then go tell your friends? Yeah, okay."
"Just get on with it, will you?" Seaver
screamed.
"All right. Well, Rachel you know how
you told me that you were looking for your family?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Why? Well, because Roald, Kalasin, King
Jon and Queen Thayet are your family." Rachel gasped. She couldn't believe what
she was hearing.
"You mean, I'm a princess? I'm
Tortallan? Wow!!"
"She is not! Stop lying to her, Kel!"
"I'm not lying. Just see for yourself."
When Kel said that Roald and Kalasin walked out and came to stand near Rachel.
Merric looked them over and gasped. He had seen the resemblances.
"Go tell your friends, Merric. Oh, and
by the way don't be surprised if Neal isn't surprised isn't surprised. He
already knows." Merric ran off towards one of the practice courts.
3 hours later, the Royal Family, Alanna,
Daine and Kel were sitting around talking. Jon wanted to know how Rachel
learned archery so well. Rachel told them all about her life3. With the
exception of her foster-father beating her every chance he got.
Rachel wanted to go look for a book to
read so Kel, Daine and Kalasin all went in search of some books.
They walked into a lesser library and
stopped. All of Neal's friends were in there studying. Rachel didn't say a word
to them; she just turned and walked away from them to the back of the library.
The rest of Rachel's groups found a table that wasn't occupied and sat down.
They started talking amongst themselves quietly, not even glancing at the other
people in the room.
5 minutes later, they heard a gleeful
squeal from where Rachel was. She came rushing back with a book in her hand.
"Look guys. I found the best book, Archery
for Dummies, guess who I'm going to give it too!"
"Who?" They all whispered.
Rachel leaned closer to them and
whispered, "Cleon!" She took the book and tossed it over to him. It landed on
his lap. He looked up and she smiled at him innocently. "I suggest you read it.
You need too." Cleon looked at her like she was crazy, but before he could say
something to her she went back down the row of books.
10 minutes later, everybody was either
reading a book or writing. That is except for Cleon. He was trying to figure
out why Kel had backstabbed their whole group (except Roald). Cleon glanced up
at their group and noticed something that he hadn't seen before.
