A/N: My first fanfic… please r/r…. it is set between Lioness Rampant and the Immortals Series….
Alanna paced in the hallways of her rooms. Back and forth, weaving a tireless track through her chambers, the Lady Knight tried to rid herself of the anxiousness that gripped her. She suddenly jumped as a knock sounded on the door. She ran toward it and opened it to welcome the visitor.
"Buri," she cried as the K'miri walked through the door. "Thank goodness you came over, I really needed someone to talk to." She blushed as she said the last line, embarrassed to be caught needing someone to talk to. As she shut the door, Buri walked to a plush chair and sat down.
" I see that you've worn down that carpet to shreds. What's on your mind? I've never seen you this nervous before."
Alanna smiled as she walked over and sat across from her friend. " I don't know why I am so nervous all of a sudden. I think that its because there will be a group of visiting ambassadors tomorrow, from Scanra, and I'm worried for Jon's safety." Buri started to say that the King's Own and the newly formed Queen's Riders would take care of him, when she looked into the knight's eyes.
"Why, you're lying. You're not worried about the king. You're worried about your wedding." For the second time since Buri had come, Alanna found herself blushing.
" I am," she admitted. Then she sighed and went over to the window to watch the pages practice their archery. She stood there in silence until Buri decided to cheer her up.
"Let's go for a walk. The servants said that you haven't left your room since breakfast."
Alanna turned from the window, and was about to disagree when a knock came from the door.
A/n: Who knocked on the door…… anyway, I need five reviews to put up the next chapter… so please r/r… thanx
