Chapter 3
Keladry staggered and almost fell to the floor.
"Umm excuse me...WHAT?" Kel yelled at the top of her lungs-screw her Yamani training,her life was getting ruined here!
"Keladry, please calm yourself and lower that voice down! What kind of man wants to marry a loud yelling wife?" The First Daughter spoke calmly and slow.
"Who said I wanted to marry anyone anyway? By the way my name is not KELADRY!! It's Kel, just Kel and I've put up with you calling me Keladry for 6 years and I'm through with it!" Kel screamed at the First Daughter.
"Hey am I missing the party?" a laughing voice said in the back of the room.
Kel spun to face the speaker and found herself looking down in to a pair of violety-blue eyes with flecks of green in them.
"Hi I'm Alianna of Pirate's Swoop," the girl said as she shook her flaming red hair out of her eyes.
"Keladry..umm Kel of Mindelan, pleasure to meetcha ya," Kel said, awestruck.
"So I guess we will be traveling together to corus," Alianne saaid knowingly.
Kel nodded then spoke," Is your mom REALLY the Lioness?".
"Yeah she REALLY the Lioness," Alianne said if a stupid voice.
"Girls, please return to your rooms and pack. You leave for Corus tomorrow at daybreak," the First Daughter said.
Kel and Alianne walked softly back to their rooms and began to pack up their belongings and memories of the past six years. It wasn't a problem for Kel nor Alianne to pack up and leave on such short notice-they both hated it there and couldn't wait to leave.
Chapter 4
The next day at daybreak both Alianne and Kel were aroused by sharp knocks on their doors. Kel got up and stretched and did a pattern with an imaginary glaive to wake herself up. Alianne on the the other hand, woke up to her knock, opened the door and started yelling at the poor lady about letting people sleep and so forth. Then Alianne began to wake up,apologized to the lady and went in her room to bathe and dress.
After Kel finished her dance she also began to bathe and dress. They both dressed and began to walk down to the Dining Hall where in the doorway they almost bumped into each other. They were about ot walk in the Hall when a preistess came up behind them and said that their breakfast whould be eaten on the road, they needed to hurry to Corus.
Kel and Alianne let themselves be guided outside and into a waiting carriage. The carriage really was a pretty thing, thoghu neither girls agreed with all the lace and frills hang in, nor did they care for the satin upholstery-they both much prefered to be on horseback. The journey began and Alianne and Kel began to talk about basically anything they could think of. Then Alianne said to Kel,"So are you excited about already beginning betrothed or are you atleast thinknig of who it might be?"
A shadow crossed Kel's face and Alianne immediatly regretted her straightforward words.
Much to Alianne's suprise Kel answered her.
"I'm definitly not excited, if was a great shock and all but I'm sure I will learn to love whatever man I am placed with."(A/N OOC i know)
"Okay, that's noble of you-if I was in your place I would refuse to go to court at all," Alianne confessed,"I guess you could say I inheirted my mother's temper."
The girls chatted for quite a while and were quite suprised when the carriage halted and the footman came and opened the door for them. He mentioned something about being at their destination for the night. Both girls stood, ignored the footman's hand waiting to help them down, and stepped out of the carriage. They surveyed their dismal surrounding and a plan popped into Kel's head.
She could hardly contain her glee and grabbed Alianne's hand and they rushed inside.
"Now, what have you gone and rushed me in here for?" Alianne demanded of Kel.
"Kel replied confidently,"I have a plan."
And Kel began to tell Alianne her plan. Alianne thoguht it was a great idea and readily agreed.
They ate dinner and talked for the rest of the time at their hotel and were going to walk up the stairs into their rooms when the preistess that was accompanying them announced they would arrive in Corus tomorrow.
"YES," Kel said in the lowest voice she could manage and turned to Alianne and grinned.
They continued up the stairs and seperated to go their rooms.
The next day Kel awoke and grinnied widely, and crept downstairs in some breeches and a tunic to put the finshed touch on her plan for it to work.
Chapter 5
Kel crept back up the stairs to her room and quickly shed her breaches and replaced them with her traveling and no sooner had she tied the last string of her gown she heard a knock on her door.
"Come in," Kel called to the knocker.
Alianne opened the door and slipped in sideways, her face bubbling over with excitement.
"So did you do it? HUH? HUH? Come on come on tell me!" Alianne exclaimed excitedly.
"Yea I did it. It was sooo easy! They weren't even guarding them!" Kel replied back.
"GREAT! I put some breeches in my bag to change into. I mean have you ever heard of a woman jumping on a horse and riding off and actually get away in a dress?"
"Well, no but we aren't exactly normal noble ladies now are?" Kel said back teasingly.
"Yea I guess. This is going to be so fun!" Alianne laughed.
The two girls talked for awhile after and then headed down to breakfast. When they arrived, gracefully stepping off the staircase they found breakfast already laid out and warmed plates laying out for them to fix some food onto. They both got their choices of food and sat down. The priestess they traveled with walked in then and began to hurry them, thus annoying Kel.
"I'm not exactly ready to go prancing off to get married, I'll thank ou not to rush me," Kel grumbled.
Alianne gave a very unladylike snort and Kel looked and smiled at her.
The preistess looked distinctly ryffled as she replied,"Lady Alianne I wouldn't be laughing. You are betrothed too."
Alianne coughed and spit her mouthful of juice all over Kel. Kel on the other hand began to laugh her unladylike butt off. Alianne stood up, furious.
"Excuse me? what did you just say to me preistess?" Alianne rumbled.
" I said you ARE betrothed, got a problem with that?" the preistess said sounding very ghetto-y(A/N I think I just made up a word!)
"Yea I do," Alianne growled. With that Alianne turned on her heel and ran up the stairs. Kel got up, glared at the preistess and ran up after Alianne. Kel found Alianne changing into some breeches.
"Alianne what are ou doing?" Kel yelled.
"Kel, the plan begins NOW!" Alianne looked up and grinned devishly.
Kel smirked and ran into her room to changed into breeches and a shirt. She found Alianne waiting for her outside her door. Kel laughed wildly and they ran down the stairs. They ran past the estranged preistess and yelled to her over their shoulder, asking her o put there gowns In the carriage. They ran outside and into the stables. They jumped onto their horses(A/N that is what Kel was doing that morning-tacking up the horses.) and galloped out of the stable to see the preistess trying to rush the footman to get the carriage ready. They set off for Corus gallopin and laughing all the way.
Keladry staggered and almost fell to the floor.
