Disclaimer: *glares at the lawyers* hehehehe I am going to beat you all to it this time. I do not own this and I never will. *looks smug and turns to the lawyers* hahaha you cant sue me nananananana *the lawyers looks sad and cry while I just laugh*

A/N I am sorry this has taken so long for me to update but I have been busy with school. Oh alright I could have updated when I was bored on a weekend but I was just too lazy. *grins* well here is the next chapter to my story. Thanks for all the reviews I have been getting I will write a little personal note to you at the end. Also I would like for you to know that this is set sometime between the first and second book which means that Faithful is not in the story and will not be in the story. Also please note that Alex is going to be in the story very little since he spent most of his time with Duke Roger even after he became a knight besides he wasn't introduced to George anyways. Alanna is a knight and the other three (Jon, Gary, and Raoul) are knights just so you are not confused Gary and Raoul don't have their squires yet that is why they are not mentioned.. Also this will probably be a little A/J and a little A/G since that was how it was in the book. Yes I love George more than Jon but both of them are pretty good. Ok well I think I have covered everything. If you have anymore questions feel free to e-mail me at magickalmoon135@yahoo.com or ask me in a review. Thanks now that I am done rambling ON WITH THE FIC!!!!!

Chapter 6

The next morning Alanna woke up to a soft knock at her door. She rubbed her eyes and looked at her window.

"It is still dark out! Who would be coming at this hour?" she muttered angrily to herself and pushed herself out of bed. She grabbed a long cloak and opened the door. She gasped when she saw the person who was heavily cloaked and hurriedly pulled them inside of her room.

The person grinned at her and pulled off their hood showing a cocky grin on his face.

"Not happy to see me lass?" George asked grinning while Alanna glared at him and made sure her door was securely locked.

"George what are you doing here?!" Alanna demanded

"Well lass I came to see what had ya so scared yesterday. And to talk to ya 'bout Mikis and Leydon. I jus' can't seem to trust them. They seem alrigh' but I dunno just some sort of instinct tellin' me that they ain't no good." He had a small smile on his face but his eyes were serious.

Alanna nodded slowly. "I know George, I over heard them talking and they were plotting your murder."

Georges eyes widened and he looked Alanna in the face. "I figured it was somthin' along those lines. They is Hill People but I am on friendly terms with the rogue in the Hill Country." He shook his head when a thought struck him. "But they may not be with the rogue. They may be workin' for Tyrell." He said this more to himself than he did to Alanna but Alanna heard him nonetheless.

"George what are you talking about? Who is Tyrell?" she asked confused, none of this made sense to her. Who was Tyrell and what quarrels did he have with George?

George looked at Alanna solemnly. "Tyrell was once a member of the rogue here in Corus. He was angry when I became the King of the Thieves because he was older and he thought that he could have done a better job. I watched me back knowing that if I turned my back on him I would be killed or beaten." At the horrified look on Alanna's face George stopped. "What's wrong lass?" he asked her confused

"Why would he kill you? I don't understand." Alanna told him and George grinned

"Ahh ye dunno how the King is chosen do ye?" He asked her and Alanna shook her head. "Well I will explain it to ye. When one of the rogues think tha' they is better than the present King they fight him for the job. I beat the old one and now I am the king. Kingship doesn't last long in the rogue and I am one o' the youngest ever." Alanna nodded understanding now. George nodded at her and continued his story about Tyrell. "Well eventually I ran in ta Tyrell and when he attacked me with a knife I beat him bad. He cursed me and he left Corus not wantin' to be a rogue if I was the king. Tyrell wouldn't join anotha' rogue 'cause he likes to lead. Power hungry ya know? Well I figure tha' he is probably a king of some sort of rebel rogue. 'cause even the rogue had its rules. Leydon and Mikis probably work for him they live out in the Hill Country and I know that is where he fled to."

Alanna nodded at George, it all made sense. "So if Tyrell is behind this then you are in danger George. He may have sent some spies or more people." Alanna was upset, George was a good friend of hers and she didn't want to see him attacked by some bully gang.

George shrugged "He may have sent more but I doubt it. He never liked to spare people if he could help it. He also wasn't very well liked so I don't think he even has tha' many people to spare."

Alanna nodded and looked at her window; it was getting light which meant that George had to go.

"George it is probably best if you left many of the Lord Provost's guards do know what you look like." Alanna said to him grinning

George just laughed. "I will head to the stables meet me there with Jon, Gary, and Raoul. Whistle Stephan up I will be waiting for ye lot." He grabbed Alanna's hand and squeezed it. "Don't forget lass."

"I wont George, don't worry." She told him. He nodded and let her hand go. He pulled his hood over his head and left the room taking the shortest route to the stables.

Alanna watched him go then got dressed properly muttering to herself about how George just appeared out of no where with no notice. Once she had finished dressing she went to get the others. Once she had gotten them she explained everything that she and George had talked about. They nodded listening while she told them about Tyrell and how George thought he may be the one who Leydon and Mikis were working for.

"I promised George we would meet him in the stables. We have two more free days." They grinned at her when she said that. She had forgotten that they were knights now. "What?" she asked when they started laughing.

"Alan we are knights we have no lessons to attend to." Jon said to her grinning

She sighed, she had forgotten "Oh well I only have to more days and I would like to try to help George finish this because otherwise I will be stuck in lessons or doing punishment." They grinned at the last part.

"Alright Alan lets go find George." Raoul said and they headed off to the palace stables.

When they got to the stables Alanna whistled and Stephan dropped down and grinned at her.

"Master Alan George is waiting for ye and yer friends hold on o' second and I will go an get 'im." Stephan said grinning while he climbed up and informed George that they were there.

George came down and smiled when he saw the others although they couldn't see since his face was hidden behind the cloak.

"Come we must get ta the Dancing Dove." They nodded and headed back to the city.

"You all must pretend we haven't seen each other today. When we get there I am going to get into my room and I will meet ye all down in the bar. If Mikis and Leydon know that I have met you earlier today they will get suspicious." George told them

The others nodded; they understood what George was talking about. They knew that he had to be safe. When they arrived at the Dancing Dove, George climbed into his room while the others went into the bar and ordered some drinks.

George climbed into his room and was immediately grabbed from behind by two people and had a sharp knife pressed against his throat. Georges eyes widened and he fought his attackers. He heard another person moving about his room and then come over to him and whisper softly in his ear.

. He heard another person moving about his room and then come over to him and whisper softly in his ear.

"Don't move or I will slit your throat." Whispered the person menacingly and George's eyes widened as he stopped struggling against his attackers.

"Tyrell!" George said and the memories of everything he had told Alanna came flooding back to him.
