If She Had Been Quicker
A/N I have gotten so many reviews for this story! Thank you to everyone who reviewed and Goddess Bless!!!
Alanna woke up the next morning with a headache. She rolled over in bed. Her eyes suddenly popped open as she remembered what had happened with her and Gary the night before. A question ran through her mind. How was she going to face him today? Even if she looked like Alan, she was still Alanna. She would be too embarrassed to even look at Gary. What if he pestered her all day with questions about Alanna? " Oh Goddess. What have I done?" she moaned.
Alanna walked down to breakfast thinking about what she should do. She sat down next to Jon, still silent. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Gary sitting next to her until he began to talk. She looked over at him angrily. " Alan, how come you never told us about your sister Alanna?" Gary asked. Alanna thought. " Well, we like to surprise people." Gary looked amused. "That's what she said last night." Alanna tried to look surprised and angry. " Last night? What do you mean last night. Gary what did you do to my sister?" Gary looked sad. Then the expression on his face changed to a dreamy one. " She's beautiful. What? Oh. Nothing. I just ran into her in the garden last night. I wrote a poem for her but I think she's mad at me. Could you give it to her for me? Please?" Alanna looked at his face and saw that he was sincere about it. She felt her heart warming towards Gary. " Sure." She muttered.
Gary hugged her." Thanks Alan. You're a great friend." If only he knew, she thought, he wouldn't be saying that now. Alanna wondered if she should tell him about being a girl. She decided that she would tell him another day. Gary's face resumed its dreamy look after Alanna walked away. She wondered if he really truly loved her, or if she was just another pretty face in the crowd. Alanna decided to go and see George. He could help her.
Alanna walked down to the city. She smiled at the thought of seeing George. She hadn't seen him in almost a month and she had really missed him. She was halfway to the Dancing Dove when someone grabbed her from behind and clapped a hand over her mouth. She slammed her head back into what she hoped was theirs. It had to have worked because they let go of her quickly. The person lunged toward her and she sent them flying over her hip. She stood up and dusted her shirt off. She walked over to the mysterious person and put a dagger to their neck. " Who are you and what do you want?" " He said I was t'get rid of the redhead wit t'violet eyes. We don disobey orders from his Grace." " Who? Tell me, damn you! Who?" The man opened his mouth to speak. He let out a strangled noise before his eyes rolled back in his head. Alanna quickly made her way to the Dancing Dove.
She walked in the door and saw George talking to some thieves. George looked up at Alanna and grinned, but stopped when he saw her worried eyes. George said something to the thieves and they left. George walked over to her and brushed her cheek with his fingers. " What's wrong lass?" he asked. Alanna told him the story of the mysterious person and how when he tried to tell her who had sent him that he had died. George looked worried as well. " I think his grace would be our smilin' friend."
Well? How did you like that? Let me know in your review. I really really need people to review Tales of Tortallans or I cant write chapter 2. Thanks for reading this! Also I just posted a new story called Georgelina and its an interesting read. Thanks for reading and reviewing! Goddess bless!
