I just realized it has been even longer since I update this than it has been since I updated Life Goes On and that is partially because I updated on Sunday I think. So here I am again, but I reread my other chapters and decided they have no plot what so ever. It is all just fluffiness. As much as I like fluff, I decided to add some plot into this chapter and try to be unique about it if I can.
Disclaimer Tamora Pierce writes books, I write fanfiction. There is a BIG difference between the two. Therefore Tamora Pierce is the legal owner of the characters, while I only own the fictional story that goes along with her books, if even that.
Dedicated to my Lil' Sis, Bridget for all the good times where we actually get along. Even if it doesn't happen much I know I can always count of you to read my stories. Then come n' find me at 11 o'clock at night when you finish reading them and tell me to update soon or you'll be mad. Thank ya' much.
Chapter 3
Screams
Kel climbed out of bed just before dawn as usual. Standing she took her glaive from the wall and did a complex pattern dance. There was a knock at her door, and Kel laid her glaive down on the bed. Grabbing a robe and rapping it around her, Kel opened the door to Dom.
"Morning Kel," Dom said placing a small peck on Kel's cheek.
"Good morning to you too. Did you need something?" Kel asked Dom.
"Yes, I was wondering if you wanted to go for a ride. I'm going out and I thought it would be nice if we went for a ride together," Dom said seeming unusually perky.
"Alright just wait a moment for me to get dressed," Kel replied calmly.
Kel walked into her dressing room quickly changing into breeches and a white shirt. Pulling on her boots she went back into her main chambers. Kel took a quick look around the room noting she had left her glaive on the bed. She put it back on the wall, and then she and Dom walked down to the stables.
"Aren't you up a little early Dom?" Kel asked seeing the sun still hadn't risen above the horizon.
"I could ask you the same question," Dom said obnoxiously, "but I won't. I'm up because I had to go to a meeting for the own earlier."
Kel and Dom walked in silence till they got to the stables. Then they quickly saddled their horses and mounted up. They headed for the tall trees of the royal forest.
Riding for several hours they talked about many things, including their relationship. Dom wanted to be more than friends and so did Kel. Kel was a little unsure though, she didn't want to lose his friendship if the relationship went aerie. She wouldn't forgive herself if she lost Dom as a friend.
After they got back to the palace Kel headed for her rooms. Walking down a long corridor that was in shadow she stopped, it had suddenly become as cold as if it were winter. It was the middle of summer and there was no explanation for the sudden cold front in the corridor. Kel decided to explore where the cold was coming from. She turned down the dark, cold corridor seeing nothing.
Screams erupted from nowhere when Kel was halfway down the hallway. They were louder than any court lady could be. They were even louder than a banshee's wailing cry.
Kel clamped her hands around her ears trying to shut out the dreadful cries. The sound echoed inside her head and in the hallway. Kel collapsed to her knees unable to think. She could barely breathe because it had become even colder. Blood began to drip down from Kel's nose and her ears because the horrible screaming that was wracking her brain.
Kel's body started to tremble in fits of uncontrollable shivers. The cold in the dark hallway started to intensify to an unbearable level. The blood started to become cold instead of the normal warmth of it. Kel's lips started to turn blue and her eyes became glazed. The screaming still continuing becoming ever more louder and higher, making the blood flow coming from her ears and nose thicken.
Warm hands grasped Kel's shoulders trying to bring her back to full consciousness. Kel was near fainting, so the owner of the hands picked her up. The person carried her down several corridors before finally stopping at a door. The person opened the door with some difficulty. Kel being held close to the person's warm body started coming to.
"Wha..." Kel said before erupting in coughs that brought blood out of her throat.
"Kel, are you okay?" a familiar voice asked.
Where do I know that voice from, Kel thought not opening her eyes yet? It seems so familiar. I just can't put my finger on it. Kel felt soft fingers examining her ears, and then she felt the pain washed away with the green fire that had surrounded them.
"Neal," Kel said finally opening her eyes to see her best friend looking down at her, wearing an extremely worried expression on his face.
"Kel what happened?" Neal asked helping her sit up.
Kel looked around a moment then recognized she was in her own room. "I don't know. I was walking down the hallway, and something started screaming. Then it started to become cold, and I started to go to pass out because it was so cold," Kel said.
"Do you know what could have caused it Kel?" Neal asked placing his hands on her shoulders and letting his gift warm Kel.
"No," Kel said grateful for the extra warmth.
"Okay, well I'm going to go back and check it out," Neal said.
"Alright, I'll just try to stay out of trouble," Kel said trying to lighten the mood with a tight smile.
Neal patted Kel's hand before getting up and leaving. Kel sat there for a moment watching him go. Kel shivered pulling a thick blanket up around her. It seemed to have gotten colder when Neal had left her alone in her rooms. A sudden wind blew through her room even though her room's windows were closed.
The wind swirled around Kel making her shiver even more. Now she was sure of it, the room had definitely gotten colder when Neal had left her room. Suddenly, a stark white figure appeared at the end of Kel's bed.
"What the," Kel choked out before the figure looked up at her.
"Hello Keladry," an eerie voice said.
The ghost, as it appeared to be, had bloodshot eyes, shoulder length blonde hair, and appeared to be wearing breeches and a white shirt. The ghost looked at her a malicious grin on his face. He seemed familiar in a creepy sort of way. Then she realized why the ghost seemed so familiar to her.
"Joren..." Kel said horrified at the realization that her enemy, Joren, had come back from the realm of the Black God to get his revenge on her.
A/N Cliffhanger I know but I've been trying for days to get this chapter up and try to add a good enough plot to it. Please go review and tell me what you think.
Bye Bye
