Hey yeah someone (I don't remember who) said to make longer chapters, so it will probably take me longer to write each chapter. REVIEW!!!
3. el packed her things silently, thinking. When I leave for New Hope, I won't get to see Dom again for 3 months! Oh well, I decided to be a knight, its my own fault. There was a knock on the door, making her jump. "Come in," she said as she recovered. The person stepped in. It was Dom.
I thought I'd find you packing," he said. Kel had an odd feeling he was stalling. Dom laughed. "Well, I guess I'll just stop stalling and come out and say it. He drew a deep breath. "Kel, I love you." He paused, searching for more words to say.
Kel decided not to leave him hanging. As her response, she flew into his arms, then kissed him passionately. This time was longer, with no Neal to disrupt them. His hands were warm on her back, and her hands hung limply over his shoulders. After what seemed like an eternaty, they broke apart. "I love you too," she whispered in his ear. Dom smiled,then said, "I think I've loved you since we first met, when Raoul introduced you to the Own." Kel was speechless. She'd loved him just as long. Instead sher joked, "All that time and you didn't notice how much I loved you?" She demanded. Now it was Dom's turn to be speechless. He stood there for a moment, then laughed. "But now that you're going back to New Hope, we won't see each other for months!" He exclaimed. Kel sighed. She never realized how tough a relationship with Dom would be
"Well, we'll see each other when I come to Mastiff to report to Lord Wyldon, and that will have to be enough." Dom looked at her with love in his eyes, then kissed her long and hard. They separated, and Dom said goodbye while Kel finished packing.
*** Kel sat like a lump in her saddle all day. When Merric asked her what was wrong, she didn't respond. She just couldn't wait until she got to New Hope so that she'd have something to take her mind off Dom. When they finally got there, she was greeted warmly by the refugees. Each one had something different to tell her. She smiled at them, thankful for the distraction, and listened.
*** Dom was supposed to be at Mastiff to help rebuild some walls the Scranrans had knocked down, but he couldn't help but feel he wasn't of much use. He TRIED to help, but whenever he started working, he would start thinking about Kel, and pretty soon he was just standing there. Finally the other men figured out it was a girl distracting him (whoever that girl might be) and managed to distract him (somehow) by telling him lame jokes and corny stories. Dom was so busy groaning and feeling sorry for himself, his mind was soon off Kel and back to his work. They should have figured their stories wouldn't last long.......
*** As the trumpet sounded, Kel couldn't help but wish the Scranrans had waited a bit before they attacked. New Hope was finished being built, but barely. Kel had just arrived the day before, and thought (or at least hoped) that the Scanrans might leave it along for at least a few weeks. "Oh well. I have my hopes and dreams," she thought aloud as she rushed to get weapons to the civilians and herself. She positioned herself on top of the walls, and prepared to shoot her bow. She ordered the civilians to loose at will, then picked her target, and loosed. It hit the man in the chest, knocking him off his horse and onto the ground. The horse immediately took off. Kel didn't wait. She picked her next target,and loosed again.
After that man went down with her arrow in his throat, Tobe ran up to her. "Lady, the soldiers say they can't spot the enemies mages. They need your help" Kel sighed and pulled her griffin-band out of her pocket, handing it to Tobe. As she did so, an arrow went flying in her direction. By the time she saw it, it was too late. It was buried deep in her shoulder. She only heard Tobe's huge wail of "Lady!" before she passed out.
