Xalia: your right, what is my definition of normal? normal to me is normal some girl/guy escaping kind of danger, if you've read my other stories you know I'm not normal. Everything belongs to Tamora Pierce besides Rebecca and whoever else I make up.
Rebecca & William had been traveling for a while together, everytime they stopped, William taught her something new, the first lesson was how to make a decent fire, the next was how to pack for traveling, and so on. William had been getting better with the help of Rebecca, she had seen many wounds in her lifetime so she new how to take care of wounds. When they were close to Corus, William stopped them to camp, and he asked her a question that had been bothering her for a long time
"what will you do in corus? do you kow anyone there that can get you work? by the way you talk to me about it, I think you havenever been out of Outhere" Rebecca looked at William
"I have no work, nothing, I just couldn't stand it anymore and I packed up and left, I was looking for a friend on the road, maybe you know her, Lanna Swift?" William looked at her in wonder
"you friends with her? wow, no I've never met her, or I would have been dead, you see she's known as the theif killer, and would be on the look out for me" he winked at Rebecca, she finally put all of it together
"your the king of the rogue aren't you, that's why you were near my town, you were sorting out some theif, won't they think your dead since you've been gone for so long?" she looked at him in awe and wonder
"no, when we were n the road I contacted one of my friends and told them where I was, and in the care of an angel"
"damn mages alway getting the best of commoners, alright, you think you could get me a job?" he looked at her thoughtfully
"I've been watching you, when I'm teaching you how to throw a punch and everything, your quick on your feet, and smart too, would you like to be part of my court?" Rebecca gasped, she had an opertunity to do something, but wasn't exactly what she wanted, being a theif and taking from people, it wasn't right, it was something she was always fighting against, and yet it was somethng she was about to do
"alright, I'll give it a shot, where are we going to stay and everything?" William gave her atight hug, she had never been hugged by a man, unless you count the drunken hugs of her father, this was diffrent, ths made her feel good.
"well, we stay at the dancing dove, it's a wonderful place, and that is where I stay most of the time, we can get you a room somewhere nice and pretty, all girly like" A thought struck Rebecca
"Wiliam, what are the men like over there?" she asked shyly, William frowned
"that's right your not used to good men, don't worry, if one ever trys to touch you in the wrong way and tell me and i'll have they're fingers"
"WHAT?" William gave a sly grin
"well, some kings collect things from their enemies, our old king mithros bless george collected ears, nasty but it worked, another king collected their tongues, burned it off painfully, I collect fingers, first I take the thumb, then the index and so on some have lost the fingers off both their hands, that is when I kil them." Rebecca looked horror struk, but she couldn't say anything siince they arrived at the dancing dove, the sign showed a bird, with a tankard of ale dancing around, when they went in they were flooded with greetings
"hey majesty, how goes all?"
"who is that beauty majesty?" this made Rebecca blush. She was about to stop and turn around when William grabbed her hand warmly and smiled at her, they went to a table and he held up his hands to make everyone quiet
"this beauty like somber put it, is an angel sent from above that came to my rescue when I was ill," Rebecca elbowed him
"ok, ok, but it really happened, she found me, she healed me and came with me to corus to find some work, so she will now be a new thief called angel,since she resembles one, she is very shy, but is very quick witted and fast, she is country bred so no one bother her, it will take a while fof her to ajust, so if anyone bothers her I will have them fingers" he paused for effect, "so, where is my welcome wagon?" everyone started to talk at once, some women led angel away, showing her where to change and where she would sleep, but they also showed her where a welcoming tub was
"his majesty told us he was coming with company, so we made everything ready for him and you, don't worry, we know that you arn't ready for briches and shirts, so we have good clothes for you, later his majesty will talk to you, he said he has some questions. they acted like they knew something that she didn't know they left ast Rebecca was ready to relax, she looked at the water and made sure it was comfortable, it was just right, she slipped out of her travel clothes and relaxed in the water. she clean her hair and her body, the water turning an interesting color. when she got out and got dressed she gasped, she had never worn something so elegant, when she opened the door she saw a very red william, his eyes where huge, as were hers, on the road he looked like a washed out cat, here after a nice bath he looked like the king sitting up there in the palace, she spoke first
"I can't wear these clothes, they are much too valuable for a girl like me" he looked at her with pleasure, he led her back to her room and made her sit on the bed
"dear 'becca, you are part of my court, just like, maybe even better than the court of the king of tortall, you shall dress like it, is that clear?" it took a while for it all to sink in
"so, why did you come?" William blushed
"I waned to talk to you about something that's been itching my mind, your friends with darkness, what is she like? is she like what they say, murderes brutw who doesn't care about anything, frankly, I don't see you being friends with someone like that," he looked interested, so he told him
"she is a caring person, when she found out what my father did to me, that's when she started to get murderes, she told me that if he ever did it again that she would kill him, she really cared about me, when she told me she was darkness, I ddn't believe her, but the I saw her in action, she is the best, she saved my life so many times it's hard to count. William looked thoughtful for a second
"well, I believe your story more than what I've been told, so angel" he said as he got up, "it's time to introduce you to my court, you'll be surprised who you meet.
