(a/n Sorry I've been so long in updating but I've had some other things to
do. But here it is. I'll see if I can get it nice and long, to say sorry.
Don't bet on it though. Do you ever get those really crap Christmas
presents? Well guess what I got. A kit kat chunky. For Christmas. )
Do You Love Me
Kidnapping
*Three months later*
The raids on Tortall had increased greatly in the last three months. Thanks a lot Scanra, Kel thought grumpily. The palace security had stepped up. Meaning she couldn't even go outside now without a guard. She hated being cooped up. She could fight. It wasn't like she was some pathetic little princess, who needed guarding day and night.
She rolled over in bed. Then she rolled over again, fluffed up her pillows. Rolled over again. Eventually she sighed, it was useless she wasn't tired and if she wasn't tired then she wouldn't sleep. She stretched and got up, to look out of the window.
Perhaps I'll go wake Roald up. Kel thought. I've got to much energy, I need to be doing something. She sighed starring up into the sky and to the moon. It was beautiful. The night was so clear; it was easy to see most things. She pushed open her window and took deep breath. Her eyes narrowed when she thought she saw something move in the shadows. She stared at it a bit longer before she turned her head away and closed the window.
She rooted around found a dressing gown. Pulling it on as she made her way to the door she pulled it open and slipped out silently. She walked quickly down the corridor. She sighed impatiently she had to go all the way to the knights wing! 20 minutes later Kel resolved that the palace was to big for it's own good. She knocked quietly thinking grumpily, he probably won't wake up now.
5 minutes later after incessant knocking she heard movement inside the room. "Finally!" She whispered.
Roald face appeared around the side of the door. "Who is it?" He asked groggily.
"Kel! Let me in."
He opened the door and she stepped in. "Nice to know some of us can sleep." She muttered.
"Kel." He grumbled, "It's oh-dark-thirty what do you expect me to be doing?"
"You're right I suppose."
"Aren't you going to say, 'I'm sorry for waking you my prince'? He asked.
"No."
He snorted. Then went to sit on his bed, Kel followed and he put an arm around her. "Why are you up?" He asked.
"Too much energy. Can't sleep." Kel replied.
He kissed the top of her head. "So you decided to come and wake me up as well?"
"Got it one."
He laughed. Then sighed. "You shouldn't be in here you know. Father would be mad as fire if he knew."
"He can go to hell. It's not as if we're dong anything. We're just talking."
He kissed her, then added, "And kissing." She smiled. It soon faded.
"We're in trouble aren't we?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" Roald asked.
"This war with Scanra I've heard people talking. Machines with children's spirits, to make them go? Can't be killed unless they have an axe through they're head? What sorcery is that? How can somebody be so evil? How are we supposed to fight it? The restrictions on the royal family, on the palace. I can't go anywhere without a guard. I've concluded from all of this that it's very serious and we're going to have a hard time fighting it."
"But we'll get through it." Roald said folding her into a hug.
"Roald if you have to go to war and you get yourself killed I'll never speak to you again." Kel said dryly.
He grinned down at her. "I would hate for that to happen."
She smiled back, "So would I."
"Now." He muttered, "How to help you get to sleep. Any ideas?" She scowled. Then she pulled away and got up. Walking over to the window she looked out and sighed. Movement caught her eye. There it was again. Perhaps she should tell Roald. Or it was probably some squire coming back after a 'busy night' yes that was what it was, just a squire.
Arms wrapped around her waist. "You could stay here tonight." He suggested.
"Roald!" She said.
"To sleep Kel. Just sleep, nothing else."
"Oh right. I'll just disturb you. I need to get some energy out."
"You could go for a ride tomorrow. That would use up some energy." Roald suggested finally.
"With a guard."
"It's for your own safety Kel. You're important to me. I don't want to see anything to happen to you."
"I'll be fine."
"We don't know that."
"Fine. Fine." She crossed her arms.
"Kel please don't be like that!" Roald said, "I'm sorry if you feel like you've been caged. I really am. But this is for your own safety, if anything happened to you I'd never forgive myself."
"I understand." Now that Kel had actually been talking for a bit she was feeling tired. She lay down on his bed and closed her eyes. Before she knew it she was asleep.
When she woke up she could here knocking on the door. King Jonathan's voice echoed through the walls. "Roald! Keladry has gone missing! She's not in her rooms!"
Kel got up and walked to the door. She opened it to find King Jonathan and a bunch of palace guards. "What are you talking about?" She asked. Wiping her eyes. "I'm right here."
"What are you doing here? You are supposed to sleep in your rooms if I recall." Jonathan sounded angry to say the least.
Roald came up behind her. "She couldn't sleep. So she came to wake me up. We talked for a bit and then we both fell asleep."
"You've directly disobeyed me Roald."
"Give the boy a break." Kel muttered, "I came here because we are getting married. If you can't go to your future husband what can you do? It's not like anything happened. We talked, we fell asleep."
"Keladry have you any idea about what you made us think? We thought that something might have happened."
"Well if I'm not allowed to be in my future husbands rooms once in a while." Kel muttered, the walked out saying "I'll talk to you later Roald, I'm going to get dressed."
She walked off.
Kel mulled her way throughout the rest of the day. She was angry with Scanra because she wasn't even allowed to go to the practise courts.
She was angry with the king, well for the sake of being angry.
She was angry with Roald because he could sleep at night.
It was almost dark when Kel decided to go out for a ride. The guard was protesting that she shouldn't go. She was quite insistent though.
As soon as she was in the fields she urged Peachblossom into a gallop. The guard struggled to keep up.
It was pitch black almost when she came back. She heard a thud behind her. She turned Peachblossom quickly. Squinting through the darkness she found her guard. He was lying and the floor. She dismounted and knelt by him.
She got a shock.
He was dead.
His throat had been slit. She turned quickly, but not quick enough. A hand slapped across her mouth. Cutting off her scream. She heard a mans harsh whisper.
"Get the horses before somebody sees!"
Kel struggled uselessly. She closed her eyes; think what I have got myself into? She opened her eyes to find herself staring into some cold black ones.
"What have we got here then?" The man said.
Kel was roughly gagged. Then another man said, "Looks like we found ourselves a princess."
(a/n *laughs evilly* Cliff-hanger! *ducks the sharp objects being thrown at her* If you love me you'll go and read Things Change So Fast, the sequel to Remember Me, and HangMan and tell me what you think in a reveiw. HangMan is actually really good. Give it a chance. Please *puppy dog look* *changes tactic's* I'm going blackmail you now. If you don't read and review them and this one I won't tell you what happens. The first person who reviews all three of them gets a plot cookie or if I'm really nice more. *evil laugh*
