Chapter 2 The Convent
When Kel and Lalasa reached the dreaded Convent, Kel looked around. Actually, the place looked quite cheerful. All of the girls who were outside were whistling happily, and the gray walls didn't look nearly as forbidding as they had in all of the drawings Kel had seen. Those first few weeks, though, Kel missed her parents terribly, but then quickly adapted. She was the model pupil and perfect "lady" on the outside, always smiling at the nuns and servants. On the inside, however, she was upset when they wouldn't let her practice her glaive during "the resting period". All of the other girls took naps, for crying out loud! The only one who sided with Kel was Lady Alanna. That's right. Alanna. After the blowup with Jon, she had gone to the convent to find out what she had been "missing out on" all those years. Obviously, not much. Kel made friends quickly with Ladies Elise, Teresa, Uline, and most importantly, Alanna. They were all (with the exception of Alanna) within 5 years of her age. (A/N how much older is Uline than Kel??) They were all good with a bow and arrow, and Teresa could even use a glaive and shukshen (AN is that right?). Kel did have enemies, though, Lady Olia of Stone Mountain and her cronies (love that word), Ashleigh and Catlyn, were, well, just plain mean. They made rude comments about Kel's height and weight, and Olia went so far as to call her a cow (sound familiar? What do you expect from Joren's sister?). Kel lunged at her, but Elise and Teresa caught her in time. ************************************************************************
Six years later Lady Kel walked in the gardens with Teresa. They took small, ladylike steps, as had been drilled into them by Sister Agnes, their mistress in decorum as well as etiquette and several other subjects. Lady Olia's handsome, cold looking brother had picked her up the day before to take her to the court. Teresa's ride was coming in a few hours, so they were saying goodbye. Kel was leaving that day as well, but not for Corus. She was going to Mindelan, then to the Yamani Islands. This time, Anders and his family would be going too.
