A/N: Ok I know I said it would be a while before I put this chapter up but I am still so sorry about how long it took me. Thanks again to everyone who reviewed and make sure you keep it up. Well here is the long awaited for next instalment of Kel's point of view!!!
Kel's POV Part 3
Dreams of the past and of the people she knew and loved plagued Kel's sleep night after night. That night was no different. Kel tossed and turned, thrashing frantically and muttering as Tait sat and watched her through the bars that separated them.
Kel sat up suddenly and screamed "DOM" She blinked a couple of times, slowly recovering from her nightmare.
"Who's Dom?" asked Tait curiously "and Neal, Yuki, Raoul, Merric, and Tobe?"
"My friends who I haven't seen in more than a year. Neal is my best friend who I have known since I was a Page; Yuki is his betrothed and my friend from the Yamani Islands. Raoul, I'm sure you've heard of Lord Raoul of Goldenlake? I was his squire. Merric is another year mate of mine and Tobe is my servant, but he's more like a son to me. I miss them all terribly" Kel confessed
"And Dom?" Tait prompted
"Sergeant Domitan of Masbolle is commander of a squad of the King's Own and is also Neal's cousin and another of my good friends. I rode with him for four years when Lord Raoul took me on as his squire." Kel told him
Tait raised an eyebrow, looking very much like Neal himself as he did so, but didn't say anymore.
"So tell me about the war" Kel quickly changed the subject "I haven't heard anything since I came here"
"It seems to be winding down and King Maggot is getting worried and becoming desperate. Tortall is gradually winning and I wouldn't be surprised if it's over soon. We could be out of here sooner than you think" said Tait trying to cheer her
"Do you think? Sometimes I worry that I'll never get out of here. How did you end up in here anyway?" asked Kel
"Well the Kings sources suspected me of being a spy. I don't know how a crazy thought like that got in their head" he smiled wickedly "so they threw me in here"
Kel sat thoughtfully for a minute. She wondered if she ever would actually get out or if they would kill her before the war ended. She decided that if my some miracle she made it back home she would confess her true feelings to Dom and never let herself get in a situation like this, the people she cared about not knowing how she felt about them, again.
Tait saw the look on her face "Don't worry, we will get out of here" he assured her
Kel gave him a weak smile "I'm sure we will" she said tiredly and not very convincingly.
The sound of metal on stone made them look up as a small bowl filled with cold soup was shoved roughly into each of their cells. Kel's stomach groaned so much lately that she was used to the constant ache of hunger but that didn't stop her from leaping at the soup and devouring it in two gulps. In the cell next to her Tait was doing the same thing. The soup however only made her stomach growl for more and instead of filling her only made her hungrier. Kel hoped that Tait was right and that they would be out of her soon, she couldn't take much more of this.
A/N: I hope you liked it. Once again I am so sorry about how long it took to get this chapter up. I must warn you that this story is coming to an end and there is only one or two more chapters left. Please review.
