**Happy New Years Everybody!!**
Alanna stood for a moment mesmerized by the person's eyes. When she realized it belonged to Jon, she quickly snapped out of it. "S-Sorry, I th- thought you were Thom," she hiccuped, trying to pull away.
Jon only tightened his hold on her, not letting her go. "What's wrong Alanna?" he asked quickly.
"Where's Thom? I n-need to talk to him. It's urgent."
Looking concerned Jon turned around still keeping one arm around Alanna. "Thom! Come here!"
Alanna feeling dreadfully uncomfortable quickly slipped away from Jon's grasp. She smoothed her robe down feeling embarrassed. If her headmistress saw her now, she'd have a heart attack!
"Thom?" Jon asked again. "Here, come in. He's probably in the back somewhere working on a new spell. You know how your brother can be sometimes."
Alanna didn't want to dilly dally by the door, so she rapidly pushed past Jon and headed towards the back room. Jon, looking confused, shrugged his shoulders and followed her.
Alanna pushed open the wooden, slightly crooked, door in one sudden motion. Thom, who was bent over looking intently at his book, jumped in surprise.
"Thom!" Alanna cried out.
"Alanna? Alanna what are you doing here; it's so late! You woke the prince didn't you?"
He saw her guilty expression and laughed. "It's ok.he deserved it after what he did to me today!"
Jon walked in amused, "I don't know what you're talking about Thom."
Thom just glared at the prince in disgust. Alanna stood confused; then suddenly her temper got the better of her. "Ok! Shut Up! I don't find this amusing."
Thom started laughing at his sister's temper, but then quieted when he saw the expression on her face. He grasped both of her hands and sat her down in a chair, standing in front of her. "Alanna, calm down and tell us what's wrong."
Jon stood right next to Thom wearing the same concerned expression. Alanna took a deep breath and tried to get some sound out of her mouth, but nothing came out. She tried again, "I..I." She started to tremble as she recounted the events in her head.
"Are you ok Alanna? Do you need to go to the infirmary?"
Alanna shook her head and told herself that she had to be strong. If she was to become a warrior maiden someday, she can't be acting like some helpless scared girl. She stuck her chin out defiantly and began her tale. "It all started when I couldn't sleep. I gave up and went on a walk and.. and.. I walked past an open door. I heard voices. I heard them mention Thom's name and."
Suddenly an abrupt knock sounded at the door, interrupting Alanna. Thom held his finger up signaling her to hold on. He quickly walked to the door and opened it, completely ignorant and unprepared for what he was about to see..
**OK!! So what'd ya'll think?? R&R this and I'll try to update soon!**
