Chapter 9
A/N Okay people, I'm going to be ending the story soon. I'm sorry I flew off the handle at the last Authors Note but I was really mad. Extremely bad day, think 18 out of 41 on a math test. **Shudders** I hope people are enjoying this story. Some swearing in this one so those of soft heart back down now.

George sat bolt upright. Had he heard right? Alanna was asking for Lightning? She must be remembering. Suddenly he sat back dejected. How was he going to tell her about Lightning?
"Alanna, I'm sorry, they melted Lightning down, or they tried. They wanted to erase you!"
"What do you mean they tried!" Alanna snapped. " Where the hell is it?"
"It's in the king's chest! There's no way you can get it! Not even I could get it."
"Well maybe I could?"
George laughed. "Lass, I doubt you could even get it."
Alanna scowled at him. She was in no mood for laughing. Revenge was at hand.
"I could try." Faith said she had entered the room. Behind her were Rhiannon and Marek.
"I'm small and not too noticeable. I could slip in and get someone with my magic if they attacked. Besides," She said a grin playing on her mouth somewhat. " I know how to pick a lock."
"No!" Alanna almost shouted. " You're not risking yourself for this. This is my job. A lonely job."
"The hell it is!" Faith interjected. " Alanna what the fuck do you think your doing? You think you can do this alone? You won't last a minute."
"She's right. Duke Rodger won't be expecting to see you. Faith can dress as a boy and sneak in. Alanna you can't go doing things alone." Rhiannon said quietly from the bed. She was sitting down her face was pale and peaked. " Alanna you have to let us help. We want to."
"How pray tell do you know my story?"
The group blushed.
"Well, we kinda, listened in."
"You were eavesdropping!"
"It's educational!"
Alanna hated to agree but she grinned anyway.
"Fine, we'll have to do this together and find a plan in." Alanna said finally bending.
"This is where I come in. I have floor plans for every room in the Palace." George said grinning. "It's good to see you back in business again, Alanna." He said chucking her under the chin.
George laid the plans out on the floor. The group kneeled around, discussing all the ways into the room. Finally after many hours they agreed on a plan. Faith was to enter through the window of the Princes room. She would then be followed by Alanna who would be taking the Prince away, for a little chat. Faith would then break her way into the king's chamber. The box was in the corner by the bed. She was to pick the lock and take Lightning. When Faith asked why she didn't just take another sword Alanna explained to Faith Lightning's meaning to her. Faith would then leave the way she came, hopefully unnoticed.
"Remember. If anyone. ANYONE comes near you. I don't care who. Toast 'em." Alanna warned Faith.
Faith nodded as she changed into a black silk out fit. She carefully positioned her mask over it all. Alanna was amused to see little cat ears on the mask.
"I'm a cat lover." Faith said shrugging when Alanna asked.
"Okay, here we go!" Faith said as they arrived to the wall beside the Palace. They could see the princes window way up above them. The night sky framing the towers of the castle.
"How on earth are we getting up there?" Alanna asked.
Faith showed Alanna a trail of black rope.
"Climbing it is." Alanna said grimly as Faith began to whirl the rope to prepare to lasso a flag pole.
