A.N I wrote this chapter for all of you to make sure that none of you feel the need to kidnap me...I was a tad afraid that one of you might get that idea and then pass it on to everyone else....*is scared* *hears noise* *jumps*
Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognise. Period. End of discussion.
I am having such a bad week. *mutters things about evil bastards who should die* I'm still a little depressed, but I can't show it. Good thing I got some writing in before all this happened so that not everything I write is sad and depressing and angsty. I'm heading that way though...I'm thinking of doing a cute little fic to show how I really want my love life to go...I have an idea to! I'm rambling now....
I had ISSMA Ensemble Vocal Contest today and my ensemble got a First Division rating! I'm sooo happy! Yay!!

Chapter 13
Alianne walked into her love's rooms. They were very luxurious, decorated with paintings of the royal family and famous battles. Liam's first suit of armor stood propped up near the door to his sleeping chambers.
"Liam?" Ali called.
The door to the sleeping chambers opened, revealing Liam, clad in a night robe and sleeping clothes.
"Ali? Is that you?"
"Yes," she replied, walking over to him. She nearly tripped on the long hem of her favorite white nightgown. She had always wanted her mother to shorten the hem, but Alanna was not the sewing type, so it never was done.
"What are you doing here? Is something wrong?" Liam asked, holding her arms with his hands and then embracing her.
"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to see you," she replied. "Is that wrong?"
"Ali, sweetheart, what if you were seen? You know how the people of court do not approve of one visiting another's chambers. Especially without a chaperone---"
"Lee, please, you're going to worry yourself all the way to the Dark God's realm if you keep on rambling like that. Who cares what they think?" Ali said, a slight smile upon her lips.
Liam chewed his lower lip. He had been brought up to always respect members of the court. He didn't want them to dislike him, even if he wasn't the future king. But, Alianne didn't mind breaking the rules now and then. It was because of her mother. Her mother did have a certain regard for rules, but not the ones that were foolish. Of course, appearing in Jon's quarters in the middle of the night and being his male squire, no one really questioned. It could've been any reason that dragged Alanna into his chambers. Maybe someone had been trying to kill him, they could've thought. And faithful Alan was going to save his prince? Liam shook his head. He was thinking like an idiot now. His father sure did not have a regard for this very rule, now did he? Look at all the things that could've happened to them and it didn't. And they had even more reasons to hide: Alanna was disguised as Alan for one, and she and Jon were certainly not betrothed at the time.
Liam let a small smile creep to his lips. "I don't care what they think, Ali."
She smiled one of those smiles that made Liam's knees go weak. "Good."
***
"Ali, did you know that this was my father's room when he was a knight?"
"No," she replied. "Was it special to him?"
Liam took a deep breath and closed his arms firmly around his love. "Yes, very. He said when he was a young knight he spent much time thinking about a certain girl."
Ali propped herself up on her elbows. "My mother...?"
Liam nodded. "I had to ask him. He's so upset that she left."
"What do you think happened?"
"I don't know," he replied. "But, I think it involves my father and your mother together."
Alianne rested her head onto Liam's chest. "Do you think they're in love? It would be so romantic."
"They used to be, that I know. When they were just older than us," he said. He paused. He was about to tread onto to very thin ice. Thinking of thin ice reminded him of another memory that Jon had let slip while being intoxicated. "I think my father loves your mother. He thinks that's why she left. But, that would be my father though, wouldn't it? Not thinking clearly. He's not good at falling in love."
Alianne laughed. "How so?"
"Well, for one thing, he's obvious. Everyone figures it out. Then, he doesn't think straight. Or, maybe this is just something that comes with age." Liam sighed. "What about my mother and your father?"
"Well, maybe they can fall in love with each other," Ali joked. This caused them both to laugh, knowing that these two people were too different to fall in love.
"Only thing is," he began, thinking, "that even if my father and your mother--let's use first names now to make this easier--even if Jon and Alanna could divorce Thayet and George, what about us?"
Alianne rolled onto her back. "What about us?" she asked confidently."We'll be together."
"Not if Jon and Alanna marry; we then would be stepbrother and stepsister," he reminded her.
Ali's heart fell. They both couldn't have what they wanted. One couple was going to get cheated.
*********
Finally, some A/L NESS!! Yay! Anyway....it appears to me that Alianne is the carefree girl, while Liam is the worry-some boy.
Good news! I am ahead! I shall be starting Ch. 18 soon!!! This is amazing for me! I'm ahead!!!
Chapter 12 Thank yous:
Galadriel Hermione Potter: I can't think of them as old people. I was doing a little timeline in my head and I think the year would be 462 H.E. which is two years after Lady Knight. I guess it works out fine..I THINK Alanna would be 41, making Jon 44.....I'm probably wrong though, but it's pretty close. That's really not that old. My neighbor is 60-some and she's got her boyfriend from Canada living with her....
LIZZY: Cute!
Lady Rianna Dragoneye: You're right! Alanna and George did get married after Eleni and Myles. And that worked..Hmm...I shall think on this.
Shelly Salmalin: I must break up them up! It is...my duty. *looks noble* *cracks up* Heee...Anyway.
White-wolf: That's okay. Lots of tension. Sad...Anyway, I really wanna know about the kids too!
rampage786: Well, rampage, considering Alanna's youngest children are 17, and one is getting married, I suppose she thinks her job is done. Thanks so much.
Lady Lucy A/J 4ever: Just think: A stuffed Thayet in the hall. Alianne would have a friend over at the palace and she would say "That's my stuffed mother-in-law." Lol.
kecharafaith4lyf: So, maybe something's up with George? Like he's doing something he shouldn't? Alanna's always harsh. But, maybe it's because she's exhausted...And moody.
Cherry-Alanna: Yes he should!
veralidaine: Did I get the hint this time?
Jossie: I never thought about it that way...I guess maybe she is because Jon never said he loved her. She's just taking it for granted that he does love her. But nobody's sure. Wouldn't it be a great way to trash the plot and makes this totally angsty? Where Jon does not love her at all? And Alanna ditched George so now she's all alone? *evil cackles* I think I like this one even better than George killing Alanna in the alley....
Dracos Myth: But not everyone can get what they want, can they?
Keita: Aren't they fun? Oh! Once I finish this fic, I could write alternate endings...Like George murdering Alanna, and Jon not loving Alanna and then she would live her life as a hermit and it would be total ANGST!!! Very bloody! GORE GALORE!!!! I could write several...*idea is forming in head* *eyes are bright and energetic*

I am going to ask for AT LEAST 260 reviews for this chapter.
