Chapter 2: Thanks for the book!

Keladry sat at her desk reading the book Neal had warned her about. It was so interesting to her. She just couldn't stop reading it. Kel stopped her reading for a second, and listened. She thought that she heard a knock at her door. She listened and heard nothing. She went back to reading. Five minutes later she heard another knock. She decided to just go to the door and see who it was.

It was Neal. "Hey Neal." Said Kel enthusiastically, "Hey, do you still have that book that I helped you get yesterday?" Neal asked shyly. "Yes I have it, why? Do you want to borrow it? I'm not quite finished with it yet." Kel curiously asked. "Oh no, I don't want to borrow it, I was just going to see if you still had it." "Hey Neal, why are you so curious about this book?" "I don't know, it's just I don't want you to…to disappear or anything like that." Neal said shyly again. "Don't you think your being a little paranoid about the book? I mean, it's just a book Neal." "Well, yeah, kind of…. I guess…but I just care a lot about you." With that Neal stepped towards Kel and cupped her cheek in one large hand and lightly pressed his lips against hers. Kel was shocked. She had liked Neal as a page. If they were both pages right now this would have meant something so much different to her, than what it meant to her right now. She has waited for it for so long, but she got it and it wasn't what she thought it would be. She was disappointed. She didn't feel like she did when Dom even just looked her way. Keladry broke the kiss.

"I love you Keladry of Mindelan."

         …..pause

"Neal…….I'm not so sure that I, uhm…feel the same way…uhm…about you."

"Oh….."

There was silence between them for what seemed like hours. They both just stood there staring at the floor, Kel fidgeting, Neal thinking he was the most stupid male on the planet right then and there.

"So…uhm…I think I'm going to go now if that's alright with you Kel?"

"Yeah, it's fine."

"Uhmm…..see you later then….I guess…."

"Yeah…bye."

"Bye."

          Knock.

Pause……….

Knock, Knock,

More pauses………..

Knock, knock, knock.

Pause…

KNOCK KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!!!

"WHO IS IT!!!?"

"You'll find out if you open the door Mindelan."

Kel stepped out of her bathing tub and put a towel around herself. She walked out of her bathroom to go to the door, leaving wet footprints in her leave. The door handle felt like ice in her wet hands. She turned the handle and opened the door. Joren of Stone Mountain stood in front of her door.

"What do you want Stone Mountain? Can I at least get dressed first?"

"Please do, its bad enough just having to look at you fully clothed, now I have to look at you half naked."

Kel rolled her eyes and shut the door. She got out her clothes and got dressed. She put on a sleeveless white shirt, with a green silk kimono look-a-like jacket that had yellow silk embroidery on it, of Phoenixes, Griffins, and other immortal creatures. The kimono look-a-like only barely went past her knees. She put on a pair of forest green knee length breeches [1]. She then put on a pair of leather sandals. She jogged into her bathroom and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was trying to decide what to do with her hair. It almost touched her shoulders; she was trying to grow it out. She finally decided it would look better longer ever since she caught Dom staring at her, and he had said that it would look better long. She decided to just put half of her hair up. She walked out of her bathroom and put on her kimono look-a-like jacket and opened the door again.

"What do you want?" Keladry asked annoyed. "I don't know? Can I come in first?" Joren asked slyly. Kel moved aside to let him in. Joren chose to sit in her favorite chair in her room, which he knew would annoy her. Keladry sat at her desk chair. "So what do you want, Stone Mountain?" "You have something I want." Joren said eagerly. "And that would be?" Kel said annoyed. Joren pointed behind her. Kel turned to look at what he was pointing at. It was the book that Neal had warned her about.

          "Why do you want that?" Kel asked very curiously this time. "I don't have to tell you, just let me have it." "No it's not yours and you won't tell me why you need it so why should I let you have it?" Kel pointed out. "Just hand the stupid book over! You have no clue what it is or what it does so hand it over to someone who won't misuse it, Lump." "No." "Whatever. Bye." "Bye." She got up and opened the door for him to state that she didn't want him in her room anymore. She watched Joren stalk out of her room. When Joren was half way down the hall she heard him say, "Thanks for the book!!!"

          She ran into her room and looked at her desk. The book was not there.
