Chapter Two: Letter
The squad was under Kel's orders as they road fast but silently to New Hope. They took small breaks, nothing that would take too much time. It was dark and they were still ten miles from New Hope when Kel called a halt.
"We will sleep here tonight. Make camp quickly, we will be up before dawn. Wolset, you choose who will cook for the men, and tell them to use dry wood." Kel got off her horse and almost fell, but Wolset caught her. She swayed a bit before she got her balance back.
"Too much riding in one day, m'lady?" Dom asked with all innocence. "I will help the lady to her tent." Dom slung one of Kel's arms over his shoulders and guided her to a tent that his men made for her. Before he even reached the tent flap, she was asleep. He had to pick her up and carry her rest of the way. Laying her on a cot he brushed hair away from her face.
Not sure of why he had done so, he stood up and left the tent, only going back to put food beside her after dinner.

Kel awakened to the sound of hoof beats. With some effort she opened her eyes and saw that the reason she was uncomfortable was because she was on her horse. Rope was worked about her to hold her in place. Seeing that she was awake Dom fell back to talk to Kel.
"Good morning Lady Knight." Dom patted her leg and Kel grumbled some unpleasant words. "Aren't we the morning person?" Dom handed her a turnover filled with fruit. "Eat up boss we have training to do today." Kel ate silently.
By the time she was finished they had arrived at New Hope. Smoke filled Kel's nostrils and she coughed. Loey ran out from the gates with Tobe.
"Back already Lady?" Said Loey as Kel got off her horse. Tobe and Loey both gave a Kel a hug.
"Why the smoke?" Kel asked looking worried. Tobe and Loey grimaced.
"There's smoke because the refugees are learning to shoot arrows with fire, m'lady." Tobe told her with innocence.
"What? Who said that we should do this?" Kel asked looking from Loey to Tobe.
"I did." Said a voice from the gate Kel looked and saw a woman, about a hand shorter than herself. Her red hair flamed in curls going to her shoulders. Purple eyes held Kel's for a moment. Alanna of Pirates Swoop and Alau Alvik walked up to Kel and gave her a clap on the back. "I thought I might stop by before reporting to Mastiff." Alanna told her.
"Thank you, Lioness." Kel said with a smile. Tobe took Hoshi and she and Alanna went into Kel's office. They sat opposite from one another. Alanna spoke first.
"Listen, Kel, I know you have a lot going on, but I was wondering if it would be ok for me to stay here for a month or so?" Alanna looked up at Kel to see the girl smile.
"Of course you could stay. But why may I ask do you want to?" Kel asked Alanna in return.
"Well, you know Neal and Yuki's wedding is coming up and Neal is getting well like him old self. He feels like he can't do anything with his healing because he's nervous. I noticed that he is making more mistakes and when he thinks something to complicated calling on of the refugees. So I thought I might help out in the infirmary." Kel nodded. She had noticed the same thing the two days before.
"That's fine." Kel said. "Would you like to see your rooms?" Alanna nodded and yawned. She stood up and Kel took her into one of rooms near the infirmary. On her way back form showing the Lioness her room, Kel saw Neal slumped in a chair.
Kel walked up to him and sat down. "What's wrong, Neal? Longing for your precious Yuki?" Neal growled some word in replay just has Dom sat down next to Kel.
"What's wrong with the meathead?" Dom drawled on sounding very like Neal.
"Nothing is wrong. It's just...." Neal sighed. 'It's been five weeks since I last saw her." Kel patted his head.
"Poor Sir Meathead. What will he ever do?" Dom said and he stood up. He looked at Kel. "Kel would you like to join me for midday meal?" Kel nodded and stood. She waved by to Neal and headed to the Mess hall with Dom.
"So, Dom have you any tactics for the raiders?" Dom smiled and shook his head.
"No fair lady, that's where you come in," He told her. Instead of going into the mess hall, Dom pulled her into an empty Alley. "Listen Kel, if anything happens out there today, I want you to have this." Dom pulled out a letter from the inside of his tunic. "But only if I get hurt, or killed. Understood?" Kel nodded and folded the letter. They continued on there way to the mess hall. Upon entering it, she saw Merric sitting at one of the tables ingesting a ton of food all at once. She and Dom slid in across from him.
"Hold on Merric, it's not going anywhere." Dom told him. He smiled.
"I haven't eaten in two days, plus I had a healing." He told them long enough for a breath and then went back to his venison.
After eating Kel went back to her rooms and sat on her bed. She looked at the letter for a long time. And then she opened it.......
