A/N: Hi everyone! How are ya? Told you I'd be back whether you liked it or not! But anyway, I hope you like it. Constructive critism only. BTW: Master Ivor really is their maths teacher. Do you know how hard it was to find out his name? Phew! Exhausting!
A/N: I would also like to give Addy a huge thank you as she put this in html for me because my computer is messed up. Thank you!

Chapter 2: You knew!
The pages and squires piled out of the hall whispering to each other.
Even Kel and her friends couldn't contain their curiosity.
" Who do you think she is?" Faleron asked.
" I don't have a clue but did you see her skirt?!" Owen replied.
" Yeah, and her top! It was great, you could see…" Seaver trailed off under Kel's disgusted glare " Um, I mean…um never mind."
But before the conversation could go any further Master Ivor came out to ask why they weren't in his lesson.
The gang all piled into the classroom and sat down as usual but today simultaneous equations were the last things on anyone's mind. They were all much more interested in the strange girl with the long purple hair and angry hazel eyes.
Meanwhile, Krissy was talking to the two men back in the mess hall.
" So you knew I was coming?" Krissy questioned
" Not exactly," Mr Tall, Dark and Handsome said. Mr Tall, Dark and Handsome had identified himself as ' King Jonathan' and his companion as 'Lord Wyldon'. Personally Krissy thought Tall, Dark and Handsome and Slings and Scars suited them better, though at this precise moment she could think of some other more insulting names for them.
"We knew someone was coming but not when and we certainly didn't expect you to arrive so dramatically." He continued unaware of all the names Krissy was mentally calling him.
" And this Master Nu-whateverhisnamewas can send me home?" she said, her voice dangerously calm. *He better be able to!* she thought, glaring at the two men.
Krissy's glare was bad enough normally. When you weren't finished with the bad news it was enough to make you break out into a fearful sweat.
And although Jon was a great King, he was absolutely no exception. He gulped nervously "Well, Master Numair should be able to send you home very soon. Until then you will of course have every luxury you require." He trailed off. By the look of it Krissy's glare would be the least of his worries if she got her hands on him. King or not.
Fortunately for him just then, the door burst open and a tall gangly man about 30-ish appeared. He was broad shouldered and well-muscled with thick, longish raven hair.
"Ahh, so you're the other world visitor then?" he asked, "Of course you are! Anyway I'm Master Numair, the magic to send you home is very interesting. I was wondering,"
Krissy whirled round and marched up to him angrily pushing her face right up close to his "So you're Master Numair!" she yelled "Well you'd better figure out a way to send me home and quickly, because if you don't you'll have me to deal with!"
"Um yes," was all Numair had a chance to reply before she was off, flying in the direction of the two astonished men standing on her right. *Ridiculous!* Krissy thought *You'd think no female had ever stood up to them before! Or at least not one as young as me!*
" I'm sure you must be very anxious to get back to your family," Numair began, trying to calm things down a little. For some reason it didn't work out quite the way he planned.
"My family! Who gives a damn about my family! I have important work to do back home!" Krissy screamed hysterically, waving her arms about enthusiastically.
King Jonathan was watching Krissy carefully. As much just to watch her as to make sure she didn't whack him one. She wasn't at all what they had expected from the omens. Then again Numair never had been very good with omens, he said so himself. At least they were prepared for a female, that bit had been right. They had a good dress selection and had made sure the court ladies were prepared to take her into their circle during her stay. They'd probably have to hide her hair somehow though, he mused. Maybe Numair could do some kind of spell?
Thinking this might cheer her up (which just shows how little he knows about the female half of the population.) he broke in at the first break in her tirade and told her.
Krissy immediately turned to face Jonathan.
" Excuse me?" she said.
So Jonathan repeated himself.
" Let me get this straight," Krissy said incredulously "not only do you expect me to stay here but you expect me to sit around all day with the gossip mongers, drinking scandal brew and making idle chitchat? Newsflash mate: not happening!"
Krissy's hazel eyes were flashing and she didn't seem to notice the amused look on Numair's face.
" Now you listen here Mr Tall, Dark and Handsome! There has to be at least one girl in this whole place whose not a, a, a brainless, air headed bimbo! I'll stay with her as I obviously can't stay with the boys without ruining their virtue!" the dripping sarcasm in her voice couldn't have been missed by anything with better hearing than a block of wood.
Numair, who had been in fits since 'Mr Tall, Dark and Handsome', managed to stifle his laughter long enough to mutter, "Well there's always Keladry."
Lord Wyldon, who had been lurking at the back of the room since he'd dismissed the rest of the group, suddenly started to attention.
"What? Oh no you don't! It's bad enough having that Mindelan girl…"
He was interrupted by Krissy's quick enquiry "Who's Keladry?"
"She's training to be a knight. The first girl since Alanna. She was in here with the others. I'm surprised you didn't see her." Numair replied.
"I'm telling you, NO…" Wyldon repeated.
"Where is she?" asked Krissy, ignoring him completely.
"In class. Mathematics with Master Ivor I think."
Krissy was off like a shot, she ran out of the door, grabbed the first person she saw, a sandy haired serving boy who far more interested in her cleavage than her question and told him to take her to Master Ivor's classroom, NOW.
Kel was sitting there trying to answer the maths questions and thinking of the purple haired girl instead, when the door burst open. Everyone turned to see who it was.
It was the purple haired girl! Kel couldn't believe it! Especially when she asked "So which one of you's Keladry?"
Neal pointed to Kel and the girl walked over, grabbing an empty seat as she went. She plonked it down besides Kel and sat on it backwards. Then she stuck out her hand and said "So you're Kel. I'm Krissy, nice to meet ya. Since you're gonna be stuck with me until that Numair guy can figure out how to send me home, you might as well start giving me the update on this place. Starting with him." She pointed at Neal " What's his name and who is he? Whoever he is he's hot!"
