A/N: I love you all!!!!! You're all so great.J I'll address this more at the end, for now on to the story.

Disclaimer: I only own the things you haven't seen before.

Joren clanged his chains on the floor. (I switched to chains, they figured out how to open the cage door. Wow was that a hassle) "Excuse me? Siren? May we go home yet?" Kel said politely, "what's the !@$@#@ is wrong with you Kel, I already tried that remember? Gods" Joren glared at Kel as she answered, "I, was trying for the polite approach." They both continued to glare.

* Sigh * "just a little while longer, really" Siren cackles evilly. At least that's what I'll keep telling them.

If secrets could Kill…ch3

Alanna had been at the palace to knight Neal and had decided to stay a little longer.

Now she led the odd eccentric redheaded women to the conference room.

Kel watched the two women talk, it appeared that Alanna was all to amused by this odd lady.

Alanna called Neal over, and told him to tell Joren to come to the conference room when he woke.

They walked in to the conference room. Kel found a place next to Raoul. Raoul leaned over and spoke low to Kel, "what do you make of all this?" Kel thought about it, what do I make of all this, an odd lady, and Joren's life on the line?

The sensible part of her head told her to hate Joren and hope the odd lady kill's him.

The lady did have a really big sword at her waist.

Before Kel could answer the king stepped through the door. Closing it, He walked over to the head of the table and with eyebrows raised looked at the odd women.

With his clear voice he asked, "who are you? And why the interest in the boy? It's obvious you had some idea he may die, how? only the gods know that?"

Before the lady could answer his first question, the door opened and another odd lady stood, arms crossed leaning in the doorway.

"There you are." The redheaded lady groaned, " Gods, it's to early to argue with me, please Phoenix" The women called Phoenix, strait blue blond hair cut short and wearing a beautifully expensive looking green dress to match her eye's, gave a short sweet laugh.

"You left me with him, and your complaining" motioning to the area behind her she stepped through the door allowing the man to be permitted.

The man was tall, six feet two inches ruffly. He wore his deep chestnut brown hair loose; it fell in waves over pointed ears. There were streaks of white blond running through it, which in an odd way looked natural. He too wore a sword at his waist. "I thought we agreed you'd tell one of us before you took off again Siren?" At his question Siren rolled her head back letting her long wavy red hair fall on the back of the chair, "not exactly, see I said as long as no one's life was in danger I would tell you, well Joren's life was in danger." Phoenix shook her head, " I should have known." All this time the King sat watching wearily.

Then Alanna finally asked, again, "Who are you???" All three turned, becoming aware of the other people in the room.

"Who are we? Umm… we're well …I'm Siren Porter" Siren smiled trying to avoid actually telling them who she was.

Phoenix spoke up, "I'm Phoenix Porter, Siren's sister and a mage of Non-Avaloo" at that the king exchanged glances with his champion, neither of them had ever even heard of Non-Avaloo.

Lastly the tall handsome man stepped forth. "And I am Courtland Steele, Knight of the realm of Non-Avaloo and King's champion." With that he bowed to the king.

Kel noticed Siren glaring evilly at him, Siren muttered something under her breath containing the word jerk and continued to glare.

Then the silent queen, who had entered with the king, piped up, "And why, may I ask, are you here?" Siren looked up, facing the queen, their eye's met and Siren grinned, " well… I'm here because of a bet, why in the name of mythros they're here really beets me."

Courtland sighed, " Princess you know very well why were here. For your protection of course. " Siren's evil glare returned. The whole room turned to face her, she glared with venomous hate her thought's broke in, mental note to self, kick Cori's ass when we get home. "Cori I am so gonna get you for this." She looked at the king and queen.

Finally the queen said, "Princess?" Siren smiled uneasily, "umm…well you see, I don't like to flash it around, or have it made know at all for that fact. I'd rather forget I was a Princess at all, that way I could focus on helping the people and killing evil bad things, you know the interesting stuff."

She turned to face Cori, "what good is having my sword and shield if I can't use it." He smirked, " Then maybe you should give it up, I've been telling you to since day one, maybe now you'll listen" she glared again, "no"

All this time the argument reminded Kel of her long fight with Joren. This arrogant Knight seemed to have the same ideals. Kel would have been glad to wipe the smirk of his face. She had a feeling there were a lot more people in this room who would join her. Including the Princess. Kel looked at the Princess; she was about to continue when there was a nock on the door.

Joren stood still disheveled. He bowed to the King. "You wished to see me Sire?" That was said BEFORE he noticed the crazy redhead siting next to Sir Alanna.

A/N: ok kind of boring I know, it will get better I promise (all done for plot development, I swear)

And thanx goes to…….

Punkpixie87: I never thought I would like Joren (even though I cried in squire when he…he…*sniff * I cant say it…) but I too read a fan fic that changed my mind, and heart. So here I am giving it a go. Thank you J .

That girl: thank you J , I too love just about all K/J flicks. *Sighs *

Elwing: yep the ordeal was made up. (Took a lot of thinking though, well worth it too.) I have a friend who is a spelling neat-freak, she yelled at me the whole time I was writing this. (It got to the point I actually started spelling things wrong on purpose {she is looking over my work for sp. errors} evil laugh follows J )

I hope you all enjoy, even though this chapter hasn't had much Kel or Joren. (Pissst…I haven't told Joren or Kel or anyone else for that matter that their not really active here, they would start yelling again. It's really hard to think when they're all yelling. They've finally calmed down J ) oh one more thing. If you don't like the way it's going tell me, or give me advice. Feel free to e mail me, dangergirlgoddess13@hotmail.com
