Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to update...I started school (bleah! ), and then I had a LOT of writer's block (double BLEAH! ), then I had too much homework (BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH BLEAH!!!!)
Umm...could you people please read my other fic that I wrote in my writer's block? It's called Cider of Treachery—it's KEL/DOM!!! Yay!!!
Okay...anyhoo...here's the next chappie!
p.s. the plot gets really lame...just to warn you...
And...ACTION!!!
Chapter Thirteen: The Amulet
Kel's dreams were very peaceful that night until around one. She had dreamed repeatedly of Dom's lips touching hers, arms protectively around her until her sweet visions had been once more interrupted...
/She was suddenly watching herself arguing with Dom. They were both on their horses, trotting lightly down a narrow path in the middle of a forest. As she approached her double and sweetheart, she heard some of the conversation taking place:
"Dom, you really shouldn't of come...I mean, you have a place with the Own, and you need to be there if—"
Dom covered her lips with his right hand and gave her one of his heart-melting grins. Her eyes acquired a dreamy look to them because of that smile and she was quiet for a few minutes, daydreaming.
She watched as her double finally seemed to remember her argument and announced, "But...Lord Raoul needs you to command your squad—"
The contact between both of their lips stayed for several minutes until Kel started to fear for her double, expecting herself to turn blue from lack of oxygen. The horses had stopped and Peachblossom stamped one of his large hooves irritably, snorting his annoyance.
After about ten minutes of cuddling, the unicorns, who had been slinking through the shadows of the foliage like wraiths, broke cover and ran to surround Kel and Dom.
Centaurs, everywhere, malicious grins on their faces, weapons drawn. There had to be about sixty of them. The unicorns were ready to charge into the fray, whinnying war cries, but Kel stopped them and raised something from around her neck. It was something shiny and golden, but the real Kel couldn't make out the details from the distance. Suddenly the charm from around her double was swirled within lavender and moss mist which swirled to consume the centaurs. The centaurs were all frozen now, not a single one moved. Kel glanced at Dom, and, seeing he was looking rather startled, gave him a reassuring grin.
The dream Kel kicked Peachblossom into a trot. He continued forward until he was right in front of the centaurs, but when he tried to stop, she continued to urge him on. He snorted with resign and walked...straight through the wall of enemy immortals. Dom, bewildered, followed.
Peachblossom, relieved, turned to snap at the haunches of a passing unicorn as it slipped back into the shadows.
She watched as dream Kel slipped the amulet back into the front of her tunic and grinned at Dom, reassuring, "I know the unicorns could have fought him, but I would rather not waste the time and energy."
Dom simply nodded and went back to trying to keep her from trying to convince him to go back./
Kel sat up. This time she was not panting, for this had not been a frightening dream...just an interesting one. She rubbed the back of her neck, thinking about it when she felt an unusual weight around her neck.
She looked down to find a golden chain with some sort of charm attacked to it. Kel, puzzled, clutched the charm and brought it closer to her face to examine in the dark.
It was a golden unicorn, completely and totally detailed. She practically expected the metal immortal to break free of the chain and canter away.
As she moved it back and forth to see it better at different angles, the unicorn's pale purple eye flashed a startling crimson. For a second the pale gold unicorn seemed to become shaggier and more vicious-looking. The teeth jagged and sharp...but them Kel blinked and the sensation was gone.
At the back of her head she heard the voice: Just in case.
So, yeah...I beg forgiveness for making you wait so long! I'm sorry! SO SORRY!!! ::sobs hysterically:: Please review...please?
