Chapter 20(OMG, I'm already on chapter 20!AHHH)



Kel clenched her fists as she watched Roald dive into Joren. Joren reeled back and stumbled. He again regained his footing and retaliated. He swung his fist squarely into Roald's face. Roald ducked quickly and swung his foot out and around to knock Joren to the ground. He stepped so he was above him and grinned down on him menacingly. He bent down and grasped Joren's tunic. He pulled him up to his feet and growled something in his ear. Joren stuttered out a reply and Kel hopped off the table. She walked slowly and calmly over to the two older boys. Joren's face flushed at the embarrassment of a girl seeing him get his butt kicked. His embarrassment soon turned to anger.

"Wench, go embroider or something," he spat.

Kel breathed in, trying to calm herself. Roald's fists clench, he was ready to hit him again.

"No, take him to your parents, Roald," Kel said, calming down

Roald nodded and began to drag the other towards the direction of his parent's chambers.

"Wait, Joren of Stone Mountain, a word," Roald swung at the sound at Kel's voice, loud and clear.

Joren turned with Roald and faced her, silently waiting for her to continue.

"A match, perhaps? Sword, I suppose," Kel said

"Me? Fight with a girl? Uhhh, no!" Joren said

"Scared Jorie boy?" Roald said as he tightened his grip around Joren's neck.

"No, I will never lower myself to fight with a…..lady" he finished

"O.K. I understand. Just because you're afraid of being beaten by a girl…oh never mind," Kel said, as she turned to walk to her chambers.

"Wait, I'm not afraid. With their majesties leave, a match it is. Swords only," Joren stated.

Kel looked up into Roald's eyes. Once there she saw dark blue yes, pleading her to forgot this. Kel gave a small shake of her head and turned again to Joren.

"Yes, I agree. Maybe you could ask their majesties when you speak with them today….." Kel trailed off

Joren blanched and gave a nod. The boys turned to walk away. Kel turned in the other direction to go to her rooms. The boys studying in the library stared at her with wonder as she jauntily walked out of the Royal Library. Kel walked to her room and unlocked the door. She stepped inside and shed her pretty clothes for a more suitable pair of breeches and a loose cotton shirt. She unpacked her sword from it's casing. She picked up the lighter than normal sword and gave it a few light swings. She cleared out some space by pushing her bed to the corner of the room and placing a few light wooden chairs on it. She had a clear space in the middle of the room and began to practice her fencing. Kel stopped as a knock sounded on her door. She gripped the sword at her side and went to answer the door. When she got the door open it was Roald standing there.

"Can I come in?" Roald asked

"Ummm sure, I guess" Kel replied.

The young royal walked into her room and commented," I like the way you rearranged the place!

"Thanks," Kel laughed.

"Joren is talking to my parents now, I was in there before when they were talking. He admitted it Kel. He admitted to beating Liam!!! So I don't think your little challenge yourself match is going to happen." Roald said

"THAT was uncalled for Roald and you know it!" Kel said, starting to sound angry with the older boy.

"Kel, I'm kidding. You didn't really want to go through with that any way did you?" Roald asked.

"Yeah I was seriously considering it" Kel said.

"Ohhhhhh…Well-" Roald was cut off as a knock sounding on the door.

"A moment," Kel called and went to answer the door.
