Chapter 2: Finding out

Well I may as well get up now, Jo thought sullenly as she got out of bed and walked over to the basin behind the screen by her bed. As she splashed her face she thought about her mother. Lady Ilane had told her she was the bravest of all the Yamani Queens and also one of the most beautiful.

Jo walked over to where she had left her trunk of clothes the previous day. She had only just arrived and the boys had made her feel most welcome. Yeah right! They had tried to bash her when she had first come out of her room and also tried to destroy her room. But they hadn't been able to get through the lock. She had made sure of using a magic lock that could only be opened by her voice.

She pulled on her tunic and tights, tied her hair back in a tight bun and left her room. There were no boys waiting outside this time as she made her way down to the hall for breakfast. As she turned a corner of the stone hallways however she almost collided with a man, about 6 foot tall, with white blond hair and stone blue eyes.

'Sorry', Jo said, her voice hushed with awe.

'Whatever' the man said with a hint of sulleness in his voice, not looking at Jo.

She turned to watch the man walk out of sight around the corner. Who was that? She wondered with longing. And she continued to the dining hall.

Yes she has 2 different coloured eyes. One is blue and the other is hazel.
