in mind forever. ^_^ Enjoy. (K/F, btw..)

Sparrow

[Flying...flying...free! The sun beat down on her arms...wait, no, they were wings! Beautiful, feathered wings! She flapped them harder, yelling out in delight. However, it came out as a high-pitched chirp, as she flew...]
Keladry of Mindelan sat up in bed, throwing the sheets off. Sweat dampened them, and also clinged in little drops to her forehead. Intelligent hazel eyes looked quickly to the arms. She sighed out deeply in relief. They were only arms, no feathers. She heaved another big sigh, and fell back onto her bed, staring up at the ceiling. The patterns on it seemed to swirl in slow motion, giving her a slight headache, as she calmed herself.
'What was that? I was flying...and then, it ended...' Kel thought to herself, glancing out the window at the night sky. Stars dotted the immense deep blue sea, the moon shining brightly through it all. Outside, a slight breeze blew, dancing with the leaves of the trees, creating a rustling noise. Dark clouds drifted over the moon, obscuring it from view for a number of minutes. She looked to the courtyard, listening to the silence, enjoying its peace. Finally, calmed, she curled up in her blanket, and yawned sleepily.
'Whatever that dream was...well...it's gone now...I need to sleep.' And so she did.
~.Next.Morning.~
Sunlight streamed in the window, casting its golden glow upon the sleeping figure. A sparrow chirped outside, speaking to its neighbors. All was at peace.
Suddenly, a loud knock sounded on the wooden door, arousing the sleeper. Keladry threw the sheets off, muttering about rude people. She threw open the door, glaring at the disturbance.
Nealen of Queenscove grinned lopsidedly at her, patting the squire on the shoulder. Emerald eyes were jovial and glowing. His shoulder-length brown hair moved slightly as he chuckled at Kel.
"Well well...I awoke the beast. Ah, my dear Keladry, do you know you over- slept by 15 minutes?"
The 16-year-old's half-awake posture suddenly straightened, eyes crackling with stunning awareness. A hand covered with scars clapped the forehead, as Kel muttered angrily. She glared at Neal, who only laughed, in an evil sort of manner.
Shoving him, she growled, "Why didn't you wake me up before, Nealen!?" She folded her arms against her chest, waiting agitatedly for a reply.
Neal shoved her playfully, and got another glare in return. He held up his hands defensively.
"I didn't want to disturb...the BEAST!"
He had to duck to avoid a flying hand,
"Well...get ready, and come eat breakfest. Someone's here to see you."
She slammed the door in his face.
~~.Mess.Hall.~~
Keladry had brightened up in the time when she had been getting dressed. She moved cheerfully into the mess hall, and got her food. She walked over to the table her group of friends usually sat at, and set her tray down. She pulled out a chair and say, waiting patiently for all of her friends to arrive. However, there was already someone sitting there. Someone she hadn't seen in a very long time. He looked up, handsome face clearly breaking out into a grin.
"Faleron!"
Ooo...like it so far? Well, tell me! R/R!
