A/N: Ok here is the promised second part of Kel's pov. I hope you like it. I decided to introduce a new character as Wake-Robin felt sorry for Kel all alone, so I gave her a friend! lol Really I will do anything for you guy's, just ask and I shall do, unless it involves dramatically changing my plot. Well read anyway and tell me what you think
Kel's POV Part 2
Kel was lying on the cold hard floor, attempting to be lulled into sleep when she heard the noises. It was the sound of many pairs of feet marching along the narrow corridor as male voices echoed off the walls. Someone was shoved roughly into the cell next to her before the iron door was slammed closed, blocking out all the light, and the bolt was slid back into place.
Her new neighbour gracefully untangled himself and stood up revealing a tall figure with broad shoulders. He had what looked to be sandy hair, it was hard to tell in the dark, and a wide mouth with teeth that shone white in the darkness. His clothes were that of a commoner, loose brown trousers and a fading green shirt, both patched and in need of a wash.
The new comer walked towards the bars that separated them and peered through into Kel's cell. His eyes were squinted trying to adjust to the change in light as he scanned the room. Once he spotted Kel his face broke into a lopsided smile as he stretched his arm through the bars.
"Hi, I'm Tait. It's a bit dark down her isn't it?" he said in way of introduction
Kel hobbled over and took his hand, shaking it roughly. His hands were calloused and his arms muscular, a sign that he was a man well used to working. Despite his blonde hair it was obvious he was not a Scanran, Kel thought he might even be Tortallan. But what would a seemingly common Tortallan be doing in a Scanran prison? Surely he would be of no use to them, unless...it was possible that he was a spy. Kel knew the Alanna's husband George had a number of spies planted throughout Scanra, a fact she had learnt from Neal.
"I'm Kel" she said as she dropped his hand. "Why are you here? Are you Tortallan?"
"Yes, I am Tortallan but have been living in Scanra for three years on business." Tait replied carefully which only confirmed Kel's suspicions.
"So George sent you did he, or Myles?" she inquired
Tait lifted his eyebrows in surprise "You know about them and their work?"
"As a lady knight I know about a lot of things that concern Tortall" she informed him evenly "Though I must admit, I don't look like much of a knight at the moment". She looked down at the rags she wore as clothes and the dirt and filth that plastered her skin.
"So you're the one they had half of the Tortallan force looking for? I hope you know that there are a lot of people out there that care about you" he said, his face softening.
Kel was now blinking back tears. Of course they would be looking for her. They would be so worried. Kel missed them terribly and every night dreamed of going home, of seeing everyone she loved and cared about so much. She didn't know how much more of this she could take. Now she really knew what people felt like before they broke. She was so close to not holding it together. Some nights when it was all too much she just wanted to curl up and die, but she knew she couldn't she had to keep trying. She wasn't going to let them beat her.
"Well, I'm going back to sleep" Kel announced before she broke down in tears "I guess I'll see you in the morning"
"Ok then. Goodnight"
A/N: Yeah I know, pretty boring. I actually got bored with the story a while ago but I have to finish it. I will try and make it a little faster now though so I can finish it soon, but rejoice!!! Kel now has a friend!!! lol Well, yeah, review, even if you hate it let me know
