Chapter 3-

Thom moaned as he came back into consciousness. He was half in his room on the floor and there was blood everywhere. He tried to use his Gift to give him some strength but when he looked inside himself he found nothing.
He somehow managed to drag himself onto the bed. He curled up as much as he could with out hurting his leg more and shivered. He couldn't think. He couldn't remember what had happened. He remembered leaving the great hall and then... Nothing.
Some while later Thom heard Alanna pounding on his door. Or was it just in his head? Thom was sure the ringing was in his head so maybe he was hallucinating.
When the door exploded off the hinges Thom decided that a hallucination could never imitate Alanna's temper so well.
She started yelling at him so he pulled the covers over his head to shut out the noise. Her shrill shrieking at him pounded in his ears and just when he thought he could not handle in any longer he found a shred of strength and hurled his pillow into Alanna's face.
That shut her up for a second but then she yanked the covers off Thom and Thom remembered no more except for Alanna's gasp.
When Thom woke again he didn't know who he was. He only knew that he hurt too much to be dead.
He tried to summon up a spell to bring light to the dark room and found when he looked inside he found nothing...
There was nothing there, none of the purple fire that had burned there before was to be seen.
A boy walked into his room and rushed over to the bed when he saw that Thom was awake.
" Thom! Are you all right? What the hell happened?" The boy screeched. In a sudden rush all of Thom's memories came back. He knew who he was and knew that the 'boy' in front of him was actually his sister who was disguised as a boy because she wanted to be a knight. But the one thing he did not know was why he was there.
" Alanna..." He said quietly and closed his eyes to block out the bright light. Alanna sat on the bed next to him.
" Thom? What happened? Please tell me." Thom opened his eyes and tried to remember what had happened. He could not remember seeing anyone and yet... Someone had to have been there, right?
" I don't know. I... Can't remember." He saw Alanna's eyes expand then contract with fear. She leaned forward and softly hugged her brother to her.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
Alanna left a little while later but made Thom swear that if he remembered ANYTHING to tell her immediacy. Thom agreed to tell her and she said she would be back later.
Thom leaned back into the pillows trying to remember what had happened but... It was useless.
The door swung open and Thom opened his eyes quickly to see The Duke Roger of Conte standing in the doorway with a small bundle in his large hands.
Thom sat up quickly, too quickly he felt his body protest and leaned back gingerly.
" May I come in?" The Duke asked in his deep voice, Thom felt himself wanting to never move again and only to hear his beautiful voice for the rest of his life. He nodded, finding himself at a loss for words.
" What happened to you? Are you all right? Who did it?" Roger spouted off the questions and Thom thought he saw a look of worry in his dark eyes. (AN/ What color eyes does the Duke have? Blue?)
" I don't know who did it to me. I have no memory of what really happened."
The Duke came over and sat on a chair next to Thom's bed and Thom fought to hide a blush but knew he was failing.
" I brought you something to ease the healing time." Roger said and held out the package to Thom. Thom blushed all the more and took to gift. His hands brushed the Dukes when he took it and he felt his cool skin and shivered involuntarily.
Thom slowly upwrapped the gift and found a book. the book had no title, just a dark red cover. When Thom opened the book he found that the book contained spells. Thom flipped through the book curiously and found many spells he did not know of before that very moment or even thought about before. He looked back at Roger who was smiling.
" I don't know what to say." Thom managed to blurt out. "It's marvelous. Where did you get it?"
" I actually wrote it myself. All of the spells in there for the most part are of my own creation. Except for the general ones but it can't hurt to have a few old and easy ones in there."
Thom looked down at the book then back up at the Duke. He held the book close to him.
" It's wonderful. Thank you so much, for everything. Your concern and for the gift."
The Duke smiled and put his hand gently on Thom's own before hastily taking it way with a blush.
" Heal fast and well Thom of Trebond, it is nice to have another sorcerer around. And I know your brother misses you terribly."
Then he was gone leaving Thom clutching the book of spells to his chest and wishing that he was hold the Duke of Conte and his sisters enemy in his arms instead.

So? What did you think? PLEASE no flaming at me. I know that this was a rather short chapter and I'm sorry for that but if I get mroe reviews I will be more motivated to write... *hint hint* I did add a bit of fluff in this chapter and I hope that it was ok... Was it? I hope so! PLEEEEEEEEEASE review and let me know how I am doing. I will love you forever if you do!
