A/N Akay, here's the next chapter. I've decided to make it a romance
fic, but I'm not telling who unless you can guess my full name. I'll tell
you by way of email. And thanks to the TWO PEOPLE who reviewed. Honestly
people, you can do better than that. ~ Sugar High
The next day, Tessa awoke to sunlight streaming through the window across the room. She sat up with a groan. She couldn't recall ever being as tired as she had been last night. At that point, the door opened a crack and a fiery headed woman looked in.
"Oh, your up, are you? Well, I washed your clothes and cut some of mine down. I'll get your bath ready in a second. When you're finished bathing, come downstairs and I'll have a breakfast ready for you. Then we're off to the stables to find you a mount so we can ride up to the palace and get you to Master Salmalin," Rispah said, all business.
Tessa (not a morning person at all) muttered, "What time is it?"
"Around eight in the morning. Now get out of bed."
"Come back at eight at night then try to get me up. I might be a little more willing." Tessa replied groggily and lay back down, pulling the covers over her head in the process.
"Oh, no you don't," Rispah said and scurried over. She janked the covers off of Tessa and picked the sleepy girl up from under the arms, setting her feet on the floor. She was suprisingly strong for a woman of her age.
"Fine, fine. But only because I like you." Tessa said, gaining a little of her natural humor back. "But hurry up with the bath. If I wait too long, I might go back to sleep. I don't even like my mother that much."
Rispah laughed and assured Tessa she'd hurry, and within minutes, a warm bath was sitting in the corner.
"That was good, but next time I'll time you." Tessa said jokingly.
"Alright, but be warned. I can be horribly fast when I want to." Rispah joked back. "Now get in your bath. I'll leave if that'd make you more comfortable."
Tessa smiled and nodded. As soon as Rispah closed her door, Tessa striped off her bra and pants and climbed into the bathtub. The warm water did wonders for her aching muscles.
"I wonder why I'm so sore," Tessa thought aloud. "I kinda feel like I crossed between Realms. Oh, well. I'll ask Numair, er. Master Salmalin about it later. Right now I just want to enjoy this bath."
A/N I told you I'd be shorter.
