Midwinter Festivals
When Alanna reached her rooms she started to unpack her cloths. While she was doing this she was thinking of how lucky Thom was for he had real friends unlike Alanna who's "Friends" were just being polite like any other lady would. She hated it. She could have made friends with the prince and the other if she had come here other than him (meaning Thom). Just than she heard no knock on her door. When she went to open it she said "Who is it?" There was a posse so she opened the door to find Thom and his friends.
"Why sister may we come in?" Thom said in a tone that said please the guys will tease me if you don't.
"For only a minute I have to get ready for the ball tonight, and it takes forever to do this hair of mine." she said only because of what the Priestess had told her to do and because his friends were there and she had to be lady like. So she opened the door so all the boys could enter. Thom was the last to enter and she gave him a glare that simple stated that it was only because his friends were here that her wasn't already beaten into a pulp. Thom swallowed hard.
They talked for a few minutes when Alanna had an idea to scare Thom. "Your Highness, would you have a fish pond anywhere around the castle?"
"Yes we do. They are located in the rose gardens... Thom why do you look so pale?" His knight master asked. Alanna smiled for she knew she had scared him"
He looked at Alanna in sheer horror. "Y- you wouldn't?" He gulped.
"Wouldn't what?" asked Raoul with amusement on his face.
Thom looked at Alanna as if to say "Please don't tell", But she did just to star getting back at him "Dunk his head into the pond." Alanna said politely. With that all the boys burst into laughter. Alanna knew she had done well.
"Thom are you really afraid of your sister that much?" Alex asked between laughs.
"You would be to if she beat you when you were smaller" Thom said stubbornly. Thom clasped a hand over his mouth in shock. HE had just told all his friends that a girl could beat him. All the boys stopped laughing all at the same time only to look from Alanna and Thom.
"Of course I can beat him why do you think he came to the castle with all those cuts and purses." Alanna said getting up, "Know if you could all please leave I have to get ready.
All the boys got up and came up to her (all except Thom) and asked all at the same time "Will you come to the ball with me?" Alanna not knowing what to do she looked at her brother for help but he gave her a look as if to say handle this yourself, And he walked out the door. Than it hit Alanna she said that since they all asked her at the same time she said that she couldn't go with either one of them.
When all the boys had left Alanna realized that she only had an hour to get ready. "Oh nnnnnoooooooo if the Priestess finds out that I am late or don't look my best she will kill me!!" So Alanna hurried to get ready she rang for the hairdresser to come and do her hair for her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Lady Alanna of Trebond." The announcer said as Alanna walked out from behind the doors. At the bottom of the stairs a boy awaited her.
"Hello Lady Alanna!" said the boy said wide eyed.
"Your Highness." Alanna curtseyed. "What nice surprise!"
"Well all the boys and I disused who would bring you to our table if no one was to escort you." The prince told her. "We all suggested that your brother do it but he refused as soon as it was mentioned, said that you would probably hurt him because he didn't let you have your way." The prince informed her.
"He did well I think he has just earned himself another punch or so humility, because since he wouldn't let me have my way he lost his dream an d it is his own problem but he didn't have to ruined my also." Alanna muttered through gritted teeth.
"What's your dream Lady Alanna? And what was Thom's dream?" the prince asked as they reached the table so he never got to know what her dream was.
When they reached the table she found out that Thom would be serving their table. She had trouble hiding her joy.
After a dinner of tormenting Thom it would soon be his turn to torment his sister for he was sure that all the boys at court were smitten over her. And he was right, all his friends asked to escort her to the ball room. Thom let out a little giggle.
When the music started Jon was the first to ask her to dance. She politely excepted and started to dance without knowing what would happen after that one dance. All the other boys asked her to dance.
When no one was looking (so Alanna thought) she quickly but quietly left the party. She went walking in the gardens.
Alanna was so cot up in the essence of the flowers that she did not realize that a man was walking behind her. Only when she was tapped on the shoulder did she realize it. She grabbed the hand and through the person over her shoulder.
"I am sorry, you startled me and I thought you were someone else." Alanna explained.
"It's alright Lady Alanna. Were did you learn to through somebody like that?" Asked Prince Jonathan who was still on his back on the ground with the look of surprise he had when she flipped him.
"Oh no were." Alanna lied. " Why were you following me if you don't mind me asking your highness?"
"I just saw you going out and I remembered that you didn't answer my question before we sat down for meal." The prince reminded her.
"Oh that... well that dream is gone and I don't wish to be remained of it your Highness." Alanna told him.
"Oh I see. Lady Alanna would you like to come in with me." Alanna winced when he called 'Lady Alanna'
"If it is alright with you your Highness I prefer to be called Alanna not Lady Alanna"
"Alright Alanna but I prefer if you call me Jon."
"Sure your High.. I mean Jon." And with that they walked back into the ballroom. Jon made a mental note to ask Thom what Alanna's dream was before he ruined it, even if it meant he would have to threaten him.
When they reached the ballroom Jon swept Alanna onto the dance floor were everyone could see them.
In her rooms Alanna rubbed some bruise balm on her feet because she had bruises for dancing so much that night, because after her dance with Jon she was asked by every man in the room and to be polite she had to dance with everyone of them.
Thom made fun of her for the whole day. So when they were finally alone she Challenged him to a duel. He was reluctant at the beginning but when she punches him in the stomach that finalized things they were going to have a duel.
