Chapter 2
The Palace
Disclaimer: We do not own any of these characters the wonderful Tamora Pierce does...
Thank you to everyone who reviewed it brightened up our day.
Chopstix*: thanks, but in the naming book we used it said that Tamsin was shortening of Thomasina, I know they don't sound anything a like, but oh well...
Googlepuss: Sorry, but we didn't know that you used Thomasina, my friend and me have been planning this for months and we got the name from a naming book.
They were standing in front of Duke Gareth in his office.
" Alan and..uh..Thom (looks down at Tamzin) of Trebond"
He then went on to explain everything that they would do as knights etc.
After a long..time they left the Duke's office with Coram.
*~*
Later on after settling in and getting dressed into their pages uniforms, they left their adjoined rooms, to face the world outside. A few boys saw the twins and ran off to tell everyone else that there were two new boys in the Palace.
Suddenly as the twins were going into the hallway a tall boy of about 14 grabbed a twin in each arm (sorry but we have to copy this bit) " I wonder what this is?" He asked spitting at his S's. " Probably some back country boys who think that they're nobles."
"Leave them alone, Ralon," Someone protested.
"I bet they're some farmers sons trying to pass as some of us."
That was enough for Alanna, she kicked him in the groin, and as he let go of her and Tamsin whilst wincing in pain, Alanna punched him in the stomach as Tamsin used her gift to freeze Ralon, so that he could speak but couldn't move.
Just then a voice called.
"What is this?"
The young male voice was clear and forceful. Tamsin defrosted Ralon as Alanna got to her feet. All the watching boys made way for a dark-haired page and his four friends.
Ralon spoke " Highness, these boys were acting as if they owned the Palace..
*(Funny Version)
" Well I do own the Palace, and I didn't ask you Malven."
"Uh. Yeah" Tamsin said sarcastically
" What? Are you mocking me? I am the Crown Prince you know!"
"Yeah, and I'm the Queen of Sheba!" Everyone laughed at Tamsin's dry comment. " Prove it."
" Thom what are you .." She was interrupted by a loud bellow from the 13- year-old prince.
"DADDY!"
The King suddenly appeared in front of him, looking annoyed.
"yes?"
"uh.uh nothing, your Majesty." Replied Tamsin in a high voice.
(Okay even though that was funny, well we thought it was. Now on to the real thing.)
" I didn't talk to Ralon of malven."
"But Highness they ...."
"Shut up Ralon, you have your orders." Said one of the Princes friends.
Ralon then left. And a stocky page then explained what happened. Etc..
" You pick your enemies well, lets have a look at you two then.
They quickly looked at each other then slowly raised their heads to look at the boy. Alanna looked into his eyes. The surrounding pages gasped at they're purple eyes and the fact that they were identical twins. Whispers travelled around them.
A large boy whispered to them " This is Prince Jonathan, lads" The twins both bowed at the same time.
" What are your names?" The Prince asked
" Alan and Thom of Trebond, your Highness."
" We haven't ever had twins in the Palace before. They will need sponsers, who will sponcer them?"
lots of boys raised their hands. He looked at Tamsin " I think Gary had better take you Thom of Trebond and I'll take Alan of Trebond."
*~*
They were then told throughout the evening what happened in the Palace before they settled into their beds and fell asleep.
Hope it was okay. Please review
