Disclaimer: once again, I own nothing except for the plot and any characters that you don't recognize. Everything else belongs to the wonderful Tamora Pierce (who I am most definitely NOT).
A/N: yes, I know. It's boring. Hang in there. I actually have some idea where this is going.
New Hope Refugee Camp: May 1, 461
Hello old thing. I have no idea why I packed you but I had this sudden urge to pour out everything. It's been so long. I can hardly recognize that single entry as being from myself. How young and naïve I was. Still Squire to the Commander of the Kings Own. And now look at me—finally Lady Knight. Commander of the refugee camp of New Hope. Protector of the Small. I don't deserve any of it—the songs, the tales, the titles. Deep down I'm just plain, simple Kel, picking fights after dinner with bullies.
I'm having trouble believing that the war with Scanra is over. King Maggot is gone and New Hope is disbanding. Or, rather, its no longer a refugee camp, but, since the former refugees refuse to leave, they're turning it into a town centered around the fort.
King Jonathan is calling all of his Knights home from the border. I was packing when this slipped out of my bag and I had a sudden mad desire to write something down. Neal is running in and out with a crazy grin on his face, muttering things about how he's finally going to be able to see Yuki again. Lucky him. He has someone to go home to…
Home. I'm finally going home.
Kel smiled wistfully as she tucked the small book back into her bag, blew out the candle and crawled into bed. She was really going to miss this place. Quiet snores from the others reached her ears and she grinned - that was one thing she would *not* miss. But sleep, for Kel at least, did not come so easily and the Lady Knight stared at the dark ceiling for a long time before sleep finally claimed her.
Ok…so how was chapter two? Please tell me….I'm really new at this and need all the confidence from you nice people that I can get….so do me a favor and review…
