East is west and west is east. Disclaimer- Oh please. I defiantly do not own this. I don't own anything. Warning- umm this chapter is not too bad but well there is some rape but it's not graphic.

Chapter 1 and along comes Joren

I watch her silently from behind. I watch her move in practice. I listen when she reads aloud in class. I try to ketch the smell of the tea that lingers on her when she drinks the tea from the islands. But I guess I did not watch her enough. Damn him I will revenge her! If only I had told her how I felt this would have never happened. - (That was like a prologue type thingy ok.)

"Joren" a voice from behind him boomed. "Oh good day sir." "Joren I know you have had problems with Keladry for quite some time but I need you to get her books and assignments for a little while and bring them to her in the infirmary." "Yes sir." "Thank you" "My pleaser sir." "Still good mannered as ever Joren." Laughs King Jonathan.

The infirmary? Why would she have to go there? What has that silly girl done this time? I hope she is alright.- Joren blushed at his silly thoughts.- Humph I might as well ask the queen to marry me I would have more of a chance with her than with Kel. KEL? Where did that come from he had never called her that. He knew he was supposed to hate her. But he could not bring himself to hate her. His father had warned him not to like the girl, women had no place fighting. Though were his father got this thought from he would never know. From what he could remember his family had, had the most female fighters not but one hundred years ago. But alas that was that and as father says one must not brood when there are things to be done- Joren turned and left to go to the infirmary.

"Oh Joren you're here. Follow me I will only be able to show you and only you where I am keeping Kel." " Is she seriously hurt sir?" "Yes but that is not the reason for her being held secretly. Now the things you will see may sicken you but please do not on any account tell anyone of what you see." "Yes sir of course but why did you not ask your son or one of her other friends?" "We fear that they would kill the man who did this to Kel and we don't want to have to risk that many deaths. Now enough talk fallow me quietly."

The Duke brought Joren down a corridor then they turned to a portrait the duke whispered something to the portrait. The portrait swung open and it led down a set of stairs then when they got to the bottom there was a door. The duke gave Joren a key and left Joren there. - What am I suppose to do now? Duh go in said the voice in his head. So that's what Joren did he put the key in the door then walked in. What he saw made him gasp. For although he thought she was always beautiful she was now goddess like. She had gotten paler. He had herd that she had let her hair grow over the summer but he had not seen it down since school. But her hair was now a little longer than shoulder length and it now looked golden. I better not get hard just by looking at her.-

"Who is there?" A faint but sturdy voice echoed through the room. "It's me Mindelan." "Oh Joren please don't harass me now I don't think I could handle that." "Don't worry Mindelan as long as your in here I will be friendly with you." "Fine then if you want to be friends then my name is Kel from now on ok." Joren blushed "Ok then call me Joren. But Kel I have a question. How did this happen and how did u get down here. As if he had just hurt her immensely tears started to form in the usual emotionless face and she replied "If you really want to know I will tell you but please don't think less of me." "Never Kel." Well it all started when I started to go out with Cleon. He and I got into a good relationship or so I thought. You see I was not ready to have ." "its alright I know what you mean." "He did not tell me he was getting angry with the fact that I would not yield to him. So one night he surprised me and took me out and got me Dinner at a very nice restaurant and then he took me to his room. And.and he tied me up. He then started to beat me. He slapped me and kicked me and did all this horrid things to me then him.... He. raped me. Kel's head met with her hands and she started to cry. Joren was in complete shock but one look at Kel and he did what he has dreamed about. He laced his arm around her shoulders and rubbed her back. (Who would dream of doing this I mean dreaming of kissing some one is fine but of comforting some one Oh well it's an odd story.) "Kel it will be ok shhh it's ok.... its ok.
