Chapter 7
"I'm nervous Neal," Kel said as she felt her stomach sink through the floor "why does your best friend have to be a famous knight, I've never met a war hero before."
"Don't worry Ran is normal," Neal smiled "just cause a guy killed King Maggot doesn't mean he's a god or something and that's what you're acting like he is."
"Neal you've known this guy since you were 15," Kel smiled at her older friend "I've never met him before his parents were the ones who made the treaty with the isles and he's a war hero, who wouldn't be nervous."
"Not to mention that Lady Ilane is a living hero in the isles."
"You really do enjoy tormenting me don't you?"
"That would be an affirmative."
Just then the door opened to reveal a tall lanky young man who's own height was rivaled only by Kel's, Faleron, Alianne, and much to Kel's disappointment Ilane of Trebond. "Lady Kel?" the youth asked shyly.
"Lachran?"
"Okay stop it you two, Lachran, Kel, Kel, Lachran. There much better" Faleron said frustrated with both of them.
The two of them took to each other immediately. By the end of the night they had told their life stories and had talked to nobody else. "That's what I was afraid of," Neal scolded Faleron "She didn't talk to me all night."
Meanwhile Kel and Ran were strolling along in the other direction towards Kel's rooms. "So why didn't you try for your shield Kel," Ran asked "from what I hear from Neal and Fal you're pretty good."
"Parents," Kel mumbled her eyes downcast.
"What?"
"Parents," she said looking up to him her eyes brimming with tears "they said that it was indecent and forbid me to, Joren hit me for even thinking of it, he was really abusive. I haven't spoken, or written, to my parents since. I always told them he wouldn't pass his ordeal."
"Why?"
"Bully," Kel said "loved to make himself look good by picking on little people."
"Neal and Cleon used to go on patrols," Ran told her "they eventually stopped him from bullying others, to an extent. Apparantly some little ten year old girl told him that it was wrong what your brother was doing."
"Me"
"You?"
"Me, he said I was the oldest ten year old he'd ever met, but what confuses me was that was a dream and I was a page and hadn't met him yet, when we finnaly did meet I fell over into a rosebush."
"Wow"
mildly insane and/or delirious-sorry the slang thing is my fault I'll try not to do that anymore, and the sentence structure I can't really help it I LOVE runon sentences and me and my English teacher this semester are working on it but it may take awhile.and the truth is I have very little idea about where the story is going to end up but I know where I'm going at the moment.
seawinter windgirl- thanks I love to write but I warn you my creative juces tend to run out in the middle of a story and I won't write on it for up to a year then go on and never finish it. And I rarely know where a story is going.
