Chapter 12
A/N Well this is probably going to be my second last chapter. It's good to read this chapter while listening to Bif Naked's "I love myself today." You'll really get into it.

When Jon and Alanna finally broke off their kiss Alanna quickly grabbed the knife back. With the other hand she pulled her mask back.
"Who are you?" Jon said " I'm sure I've known you from somewhere before."
"Just go." Alanna growled. Outside she was angry and harsh. Inside she was doing cartwheels naked.
Jon sighed and began to climb down the soft rope. At the bottom were two men both in all black that bound Jon hand and foot. Alanna climbed down. She landed softly on the bottom. She didn't look the Prince in the eye, know he would recognize her. She knocked him out with the butt of her whip. Draping him over George's shoulder she looked around.
"Where's Faith?" Alanna said warily.
**************************************************************************** **********
Faith ran towards the window, full speed. Giving a quick prayer to the Mother Goddess she dove out, smashing the window. She heard yells of anger when she dropped out.
"Please Mother let there be a flagpole!" She said aloud as she plunged into the darkness.
**************************************************************************** **********
Alanna looked up. She saw a dark figure dive out of the window at the fourth floor. Glass shattered around them.
"Faith?" Alanna said surprised. "Uh, oh."
Faith jumped out and dived down she grabbed hold of the flagpole of the window below the one she had dived out of. She twirled a couple of times before she let go. She latched on to the next flagpole below her repeating the before antics.
Alanna heard a clatter from the side.
"Guards!" Alanna cried. She yelled up to Faith. " Got it?"
A soft thud by her answered her question. Faith stood there with lightning in her hand. She tossed it to Alanna who drew it carefully. She turned to Marek and George.
"Get the Prince out of here NOW!"
They nodded and ran off. Alanna and Faith stood back to back. They were going to fight this one out.
"So, how many do you estimate there are?" Alanna said in Faith's ear. Faith's hands were sparkling with black fire.
"I'm guessing about 14. Nothing we can't handle." She said with a grin.
The guards advanced on them with a yell they. They formed a complete circle around the two.
"Ready?" Alanna asked.
"Are you?" Faith retorted. "It's about to get real hot!"
The guards advanced on Alanna and Faith with a yell Alanna parried and blocked. At first Lightning had felt clumsy in her hands, eventually her muscles got used to it.
Alanna cut one man's spear in half, then sliced him in the stomach. The next guard advanced on her. She ran him through quickly when he was parrying one of her brutal swings. She heard Faith's victims screaming in pain as they caught on fire or just disintegrated. When only 5 were left when they retreated for reinforcements while Faith and Alanna ran back to the City.
**************************************************************************** **********
George and Marek arrived at the dancing dove. They ran upstairs and dropped Jon on the bed. George patted the boys head.
"Sorry Jon!" He said as he tied him to the bed post.
About an hour later Alanna and Faith arrived at a run. Alanna had a cut on her arm, Faith and cut or two on her leg. While Rhiannon bound them and healed Alanna heard Faith's story about why she was late. Faith showed George the papers. He nodded.
"This is going to be good evidence against the King." He said this with a grin on his face. "You did it lass. You both did. I'm right proud of ya!"
"So. What's the plan for tomorrow?" Faith asked. She was swinging her legs on the bed.
"Tomorrow I get revenge." Alanna said evenly.
"Not dressed like that I hope! I do believe I have a better outfit for you to wear. It sure will get people's attention! Wait just a sec." Rhiannon said this and ran off to her room. She returned with a black leather suit.
"No! There is no way in the world I'm going to wear that! I probably won't be able to move in it!" Alanna yelled. George, Faith and Marek grinned at this.
"Fine! Wear that!"
"I will!" Alanna yelled. There was an uneasy silence until both Marek and Faith burst into whoops of laughter.
"Best get some sleep all. We've got a big day tomorrow!" Alanna said. They all nodded and trailed out, going into a restless sleep.
**************************************************************************** **********
A/N Well what do you think? I'm going to have one more chapter after this. I plan to make it a good one. Lol. I love Faith's swinging scene. Sorry if it's cliche but I'm a big Catwoman fan. Keep reading!
