Hey everyone this is my first fan fiction so don't be too mean! lol hope you like it! Please read and review.

I got these characters and places from Tamora Pierce and if anything else in my story is like another book it is not intentionally, I thought the rest up myself.



"You will never escape me now Cordelia of Mcloud's peak!" The chamber boomed "Im going to kill you, just like I did your brother, you will never see the light of day again!" Muhahahahahhahahahahah "You are too weak to be a knight, you should have now that by now, you can't do anything wright, you are pathetic!" "Cordelia?" someone was shaking her. "Cordy are you alright?" Cordelia Mcloud's eyes snapped open. She gasped for air. Her body was sticky with cold sweat and her hair and pillow were damp. Her maid, Lilly, was shaking her awake. 'I'm ok, Lilly, its ok!" she said when he scared maid wouldn't stop shaking her. "Your still having night terrors about the ordeal aren't you?" said Lilly softly. Instead of saying anything Cordelia asked "Is Lady Kel up yet?" Cordelia didn't want to talk about the ordeal that she was going to have to perform tomorrow. She had been thinking about it a lot lately and when she did she broke out in a sweat. Lady Kel was her knight master and was the second lady to become a knight. Since after she was knighted King Jonathan let Alanna and Kel have squires and stopped accusing them of helping the lady squires and pages along. "Yes, Lady Cordelia, she was awake an hour ago."

Later, After Cordelia practiced with her Glaive for an hour, something Kel had taught her well, she went to bath at the ladies baths. When she looked in the mirror to comb her hair she noticed that her dark brown locks had grown again and was now nearing her elbows. Her emerald eyes shimmered with glee. She had waited almost 3 years for it to grow back the whole way again after some mean fourth year pages had put hair dissolver potions in her shampoo. She was a second year page then and her hair used to be down to her waist. But also she noticed that her freckles were hardly distinguishable on her face, since it was winter much to her satisfaction. In the summer when she was out riding, a lot the freckles covered her face and what she though made her look very ugly. In the distance she heard the lunch bell ring and hurried off to eat with her friends and fellow squires Neal, Tom and Orlando.

"So are you nervous?" Tom asked her. She had never really been able to fool her friends into thinking she wasn't nervous about something, they always seemed to now. "Yes of course I'm nervous!" "In fact I can't seem to get the stupid ordeal out of my brain, its practically eating me away!" She shrieked. For a moment her eyes changed to the purest blue you will ever see and seemed to glow. This only happened when she was horribly angry, shocked or sad, it always made her friends stare at her.

(Explanation and more of Cordelia in my next chapter, however I will only update if you guys send me some reviews)
