Chapter 4******Author: Starlet
So what are you going to do about your problem with Roger? Faithful asked the next day.
"I don't know." Alanna said chest down on her bed. "Ignore him? Just wait it out, until he forgets I guess."
You really think that'll work?
" I don't know!!!!" She screamed. "What am I supposed to do?!" She flipped over onto her back and stared at the ceiling.
"Alan?" Gary's voice wafted through the door and she sat upright as he came in.
"Don't you knock?!" She demanded irritably. Gary just grinned.
"Jon said you were in a miserable mood. So I came to cheer you up." He smiled so infectiously that she had to smile back. "There. We're happy already. C'mon, I gotta go to the city and pick up some new gloves. Darn that horse! Chewed right through my old pair."
"Gary." Alanna said warningly.
"Oh all RIGHT! I came because I want to know if you know this girl." He began. "Said her name was Alanna of Trebond at one of the parties. Since you came from the same fief I thought I'd see if you knew each other. (A/N: Six tries and I still couldn't spell Aqaintances. ARGH!) Alanna stiffened.
"Um, yeah I know her." She said slowly biting a lip.
"Really?! Great, maybe you could arrange a meeting!"
"She's only my distant cousin. I don't know her too well." Alanna said hurriedly trying to discourage him.
"Oh, well..thanks anyway. So you coming?!" Gary said impatiently and walked out. Alanna squeaked and followed him out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Evenin to ye lordships." A young man said to Gary and Alanna as they passed. His majesty be wishin to see ya." He said with a tip of his hat and he vanished. They looked at each other.
"What's that about?" He inquired.
"Dunno." She shrugged. "But maybe we should go see George." They nodded assent and left for the dancing dove.
"George! What in the name of Mithros happened?!" Alanna demanded as she surveyed the damage.
"Some man came in here demanding us to reveal what we knew of ya master Alan. Didna tell him nothin and he start blowing the place apart in a fit a rage he did." Solom replied righting a table.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered as she helped right the place.
"Not your fault." George said laughing. "Lad, you take the blame for everything. I wouldn't be surprised if ya started blaming yourself for the reason that we canno breath underwater." He chuckled and a few men laughed. The tension lightened and Alanna smiled.
"I'm still responsible." She said firmly and helped clean the floor which was littered with glass. Later, when Alanna and George were alone she asked him.
"Who was it?" She demanded.
"Twas none other then your smiling friend." He said calmly pouring a glass of wine. She sighed and slumped back in the chair.
"So much for your theory that he'd leave me alone." She muttered dimly.
"My lord!!!!!" A voice shouted and a someone banged on the door. George muttered a curse and stood up. Yanking the door open he growled.
"What?!" Marek gasped and quickly said.
"The duke's back. And he's demandin to see my lord Alan!"
Another cliff hanger! squeals in delight Oh! How EVIL I am!!! Heeheehee. Come back soon!
