26 reviews. That ain't that bad. I was kind of hoping for 30 but you can't
win them all.
Fight!
"You sure about that, Jon. She just proved to Thom that she's not to be messed with. Though, I wouldn't mind seeing you beaten by a lady." Gary grinned at his cousin.
That was what made Alanna snap. If anything annoyed her, it was being called a lady.
"I accept your challenge, Your Highness. May the best LADY win."
Jon smiled at her. He didn't plan to be beaten by a lady. He was a better fighter than Thom and he planned to prove that Alanna had just had a lucky win. He slowly drew his sword from its sheath.
Thom gulped. He knew his sister and he knew the look in her eyes. Gary's biggest mistake was to call her a lady and now Jon was not about to get any mercy from Alanna. This could turn out to be messy.
Once again Alanna got into stance, smiling evilly. Just as she muttered go Jon thought, Mithros what have I got myself into. Alanna's thoughts were, show him a 'lady' is an easy opponent. Then he'll learn I'm no 'lady'.
The fight went like the last one, but this time it took a while longer for Alanna to see an opening. When she did Jon had planned it. As she lunged forward his arm shot out and wrapped around her, locking her in his grip. At that moment Jon's affection took over him. He could have beaten her but he made the mistake of staring into her amethyst eyes. Her beauty took over all of his instincts. Alanna used the moment to sneak her sword arm out and up, pointing it under his nostrils and muttering, "I win!"
She wiggled out of her grip and smiled at the shocked prince.
"Like I said, the best LADY won. Next time don't doubt the strength of a woman." She turned and curtsied to the grinning Thom and the shocked, open- mouthed Gary. Jon was a good knight, a really good knight. To be beaten by a lady was something he wouldn't be able to live down if it got out. The problem was, nothing was kept a secret long in palace. Jon knew he wouldn't be able to show his face in court again for months.
He swore to himself inwardly. He had had her beaten and then was cut down by her look. His feelings for her were getting out of control and he had only knows her for a few hours.

Stupid place to finish and I'm really, really sorry about it being so short. I couldn't find the time to write more. Please forgive me and review so I can add more. Also, please read my other stories and review because they aren't doing nearly as good as these are and I would like them to.
40 or more reviews and I'll post the next chapter
Thanks.
