Chapter 3
Footsteps echoed in the now deserted practice courts. Thunders flashed, weaved, twisted and turned following the Wings Open Butterfly drill. Suddenly, a second pair of footsteps filled the quiet. Alanna crouched in the shadows praying the person wouldn't see her. A male voice-one that Alanna knew very well-exclaimed, "so here you are! That's what you meant earlier when you said you had some tricks up your sleeve!" "Thom," Alanna hissed, "not so loud! Is there anyone with you?" "oh yeah," Thom said casually. "Raoul, Jon, and Gary are with me." "Great Mother! Did-did they see me?" "Ummmmm……Yea!" Thom answered with a mischievous grin. But they are standing a ways back, and they don't know they are talking to you, at least they can't hear our conversation." "THOM!" Thom shrugged and said, "They would've have found out about your being able to fight sooner or later. Come on up, show your face! Chicken?" "Girls aren't supposed to know how to fight, let alone want to fight, Thom!" Alanna mentioned. With a sigh, the young lady got up and followed Thom. All of his friends were staring at Alanna wide eyed. Finally, a girl that isn't giggly or interested in only poems! One that knows about weapons! Thought Jon. "How did you guys manage to sneak away?' Alanna questioned. "oh, it is okay if Thom, Raoul, and Gary aren't there and I lied and said I felt sick." Jon grinned. Why did Jon lie-just to find me? I'm not as pretty as some of the other girls in court. It was a question for Alanna to ponder on a rainy day.
