A/N I promise not to make this long. Let's see if I can hold that promise.
Ok, so I've got Marek as my King of Theives, if you don't agree, to bad.
I'm still not quite sure who she's gonna end up with... oh, and LeafDarking-
-she's not gonna become a theif, just learn the moves. She had to say
SOMETHING to get the boy to take him there...
Disclaimer: Must a use this? All right: This has been officially disclaimed. There. Of course, anyone you don't recognize, i made up. Including many of the theives.
Lady Keladry of Mindelan
~~
The man at the throne-like chair stood, bowing his head slightly.
"Who is this? May I help you?
"I am Kel." His eyebrow rose at Kel, but he stayed silent. "I wish to learn the moves of a theif."
One of the others, a woman spoke up. "You carry yourself like a noble. How do we know you won't report us?"
Her eyes flashed. "You don't. But that's the life of a theif--taking chances."
The woman looked ready to reply to this when Marek, the man, chuckled softly.
"She's right you know Cidea. That is the life of a theif. So you wish to learn the moves of a theif?"
She nodded. He grinned. "Very well. Follow me."
He lead her outside to a small courtyard, and there they worked on various twists, throws, stabs, and other such things. After, both panting slightly, he bowed to her.
"Return again another time? I'd like to see what else you know."
She nodded again, and left, headed back to the palace.

Neal knocked on Keladry of Mindelan's room again, for the third time that night.
"Honestly! Where could she have gotten too?" He leaned against the door, and nearly shouted in shock when it tumbled open. Kel stood there, in breeches and shirt, a dagger pressed against his throat.
"Tell no one, do you hear me, no one."
He gulped slightly. "er, ah yeah, no one. Got it."
As soon as she let him go, he ran back to his room, muttering something about how girls can be so unpredictable.
And, of course, being Neal, he immediatly told the rest of the study group.
"She WHAT?!?!?!" That was Merric, his eyes nearly bugging out.
"Jolly!" (A/N I don't gotta tell you who that was.... *grin*)
Joren, sitting apart from them but still able to hear them, smirked.
"Guess you can't handle a girl Queenscove."
"As I remember Joren, neither could you."
He scowls and stalks out of the library, headed for her room. Upon reaching it, he roughly knocks on the door. It opens to reveal her in a plain dress, simply a darkish hazel. She watched him closely. "What?"
"I... I was wondering if you wanted to walk in the garden."

Kel watched him closely. "What?"
"I... I was wondering if you wanted to walk in the garden."
She stared at him, thoughts running through her head. *It's a trick! Don't do it!* *he is kinda handsome....* *why is he asking me? I made a fool of him in front of his friends....* *say no!* *say yes!* *say no!*
"No thank you." With that, she shut the door on his face, feeling the hidden daggers and throwing stars she had on numerous places on her body.
Once inside, she fell on her bed, thinking. Why did she just say no? Why didn't she say yes....
Getting up, she waited till she heard him walk away, and slipped out to look around the palace. She came upon the library where the boys were studing, and hesitiated before entering. Inwardly scolding herself and outwardly putting on her Yamani-face, she entered, heading in among the books. The boys all looked up and looked at her with something like awe on their faces before quickly turning back to their work when she glanced at them.
WIth a shrug, she went back to looking in the shelves for a book she wanted to read, but couldn't help overhearing the boys discussion.
"But Cleon, I still don't get the catapult problem!"
"Faleron, it's not like I have the most time in the would to tell you how do it!"
"I know that, but I don't get it!"
"Cleon, don't yell at him, it's not Fal's fault..."
"Stay out of this Neal."
She came out of the shelves to find them arguing among themselves. Putting her hands on her hips, she waited for them to realize she was there. They slowly did and turned to look at her.
"All this over a math problem? Show it to me."
Slowly Faleron passed his paper over and she glanced at it, taking it in quickly. coming over, she sat down with them and began to show him how it worked. SHe looked up and glared at the others when they just stared.
"You have work to as I gathered from your argument. Continue with it. This isnt a scene."
They immedatly began working on the assignments again. When the bell rang, they all stood and began to gather their books with the exception of Kel. While she was leaving, Faleron whispered to her.
"Will you come again tommorrow?"
She gave him the tinest of nods and left to her rooms. From then on she was a memeber of the study group, if only to help the others.
One day, when reaching her rooms after the study group met, her door was ajar. Frowning slightly, she slowly pushed it open, looked around, and would've screamed when a hand tapped her on the shoulder if she hadn't had a hand placed over her mouth.
As it was, she struggled, to no avail. (A/N--it sounded cool.) Her feet and hands were tied up, and her mouth gagged before she could turn around to look at her captour. Who she saw made her blood run cold and her eyes grow wide...
A/N Ha! I am EVIL in captial letters! I have a awesome cliffhanger! :-P *dances around* Anyway, I can't continue because I have to think of who the captour should be. I'm thinking maybe a person from her past at the Yamani islands, but I'm not sure... I need to give it some thought. Maybe if I get more reviews begging me to continue tonight I will, but otherwise I'll have it tommorrow at the latest. Again, a big thanks to all who have urged me on!
