((THE ONES YOU LEAST EXPECT))
CHAPTER FIVE: TORN
Wow, this things turned out to be a lot longer than anticipated...Fifth chapter, and I'm wondering if my story is all angst and no plot (thankyou to LJ for teaching me that word-angst-I like it, it has funny spelling) but yeah, time to get away from Kel, onto a more important subject-THE RETURN OF DOM!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA..... I can just see all you diehard Kel and Neal fans cringing in terror, well, my writing does quite often make my English teacher cringe I think...hehehehehe....newayz, I'll get on with it....

'I though I saw a man brought to life,
he was warm he came around, and he was dignified,
He showed me what it was to cry.....
Nothings right I'm torn,
I'm all out of faith,
this is how I feel......
Illusion never changed, into something real,
I'm wide awake, and I can see the perfect sky is torn'
Natalie Imbruglia 'Torn'

The cold mist of the morning were just fading to reveal faint rays of sun as Annalise of Gatesbridge crept, panther-like, into the palace corridors, closing the door gently behind her. 'Such a beautiful place' she thought to herself. Rather than physical beauty, it had that air about it, the air of beautiful people, an honest character rather than a fixation with money.
'Unlike some places we could mention' she muttered, glaring at the closed door behind her. She tiptoed out into the hall, wishing she knew her way around better. Suddenly, she heard a voice, turning around, she saw a young man walking down the hall behind her, muttering something about someone named Kel...Hoping desperately that he wasn't a maniac, she spoke up...
"Excuse me? Excuse me sir?" She called softly; hoping her father wouldn't hear her and think she was out with a secret lover "Could you tell me where the practice courts are?"

Dom walked along the corridor feeling like he should commit suicide. This, he decided, must be the lowest of the low. He looked, and felt, like depression on a bad day, which could have been why he was talking to himself in public, something which he usually avoided for fear of ending up in some kind of mental asylum. Still, when you'd managed to put yourself out of favour with the king and, more importantly, your girlfriend – or possible girlfriend - all before breakfast; you had an excuse, at least in Dom's eyes anyway.
"Kel's gonna be after me soon" he muttered to himself "leaving Neal in her rooms all night, imagine what the conservatives will say if they find out" he sighed. Why couldn't he have crushes on...
"Excuse me?" A voice interupted his thoughts, Dom looked up to see a girl.......or perhaps an angel, he wasn't sure.

Neal awoke at dawn to find Kel still asleep, while this was unusual for her. Still, he was probably not in a position to comment on personality abnormalities, having recently tried to kill himself before spending the night sleeping on Kel's rather uncomfortable sofa. Rubbing his eyes he wondered exactly what had been wrong with him last night. He had tried to kill himself for God's sake. This was not...
A pounding on the door interrupted his thoughts. 'Mithros' he thought 'that'll be Yuki'
Quickly, he scampered into Kel's room and shook her...
"Kel" he hissed "Kel!!! Wake up!"

Junak was extremely pissed off...
Well this WAS reasonably understandable, I mean, you gotta feel for the guy. He'd just travelled half way across the world only to find that his fiancé had married another man who was obviously a scum bag because not only had he tried to kill himself but had spent the night in another girls rooms. In fact quite understandably, he wanted to kill the guy. (namely a certain Nealan of Queenscove, but he doesn't know that yet :P) So when he opened the door to find the girl who his exes husbands supposed lovers maid (try saying that 3 times fast) he really wasn't in the mood for niceties like "Hello" or "good morning" but instead pushed past the girl, Yuki scurrying behind him like a scared child.
"Junak" she whispered "you don't understand, Neal and Kel are just friends, he must have shown up here this morning, or maybe the guard just made an honest mistake, you know how guards are" she laughed "they're more interested in...." Suddenly, Kel's bedroom door swung open, Kel stepped out, fully dressed, but looking dazed. However, she quickly snapped out of it when she saw Junak. He was rather a large man, and he was putting rather a lot of dirt on her floor.
"Good morning" she greeted him, intimidated, but trying not to show it, "And what can I do for you today?"
Suddenly, there was a large crash from inside Kel's room. Kel grimaced, Junak grinned, Yuki screamed...
And sir Nealan of Queenscove stumbled into Kel's living room.
