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.......
Chapter 3: Raiders
Dear Kel,
So maybe I was the most eligible bachelor...besides Raoul, but that doesn't mean I wanted to be. Kel when you first came to use about six years ago, I thought you only but a child. But over those four years I learned what made my cousin, Meathead that is, like you so much. You're kind, you're confusing, and you care.
You even cared about me. You were always nice and I wish I was alive to tell you this, but I loved you. I loved you a lot Kel, but I was too scared to tell you. And then you started dating Cleon and well all hope was lost. I just wish you could tell me how you feel.
Your loving Friend,
Domitan of Masbolle
Kel dropped the letter and smiled. She did care about him, a lot more than he knew she could see from the letter, but if he doesn't die or get hurt, she couldn't let on that she knew. Kel sighed deeply and picked up her glaive. She saw that it needed sharpening and she ran to the smith's house with it.
Even before the glaive was finished, the horns sounded. Kel's sparrows flew to her. They were out of control, flying so fast even the slowest was only a blur.
Kel took her glaive and ran up to the top wall. She saw Wolset and Dom running toward her.
"Lady, what are our orders." Kel looked from Wolset to Dom.
"Wolset, you and have of the squad stay here. Dom bring your best men with you out with Merric, fallow his orders. Wolset you will be in charge of the south wall. Bring three of the own with you. The rest here on the north where they are coming from. If things get to bloody I will go out with Dom and help with seven ex-convicts, if I don't come back you report to Sir Nealen, and tell him he is in charge." Kel said all with a voice that was heard 50ft away.
Kel ran to her rooms to put her armor on. Tobe was there. He already had it out.
"Try not to get killed m'lady." He said as he buckled up the back.
"I could say the same thing to you." She told him as she ran out of the walls. Fanche, looked at Kel who nodded to her. Fanche barked out orders for the refugees to get ready for battle. As Kel climbed the wall she saw the Lioness looking at her.
"Where do you want me?" Alanna asked. Kel swallowed hard. She hadn't really thought she would have to command the Lioness.
"Where ever you want to be." She told her making Alanna shake her head.
"I don't care if you don't want to command me, your going to." Kel sighed.
"I want you with Neal." She said finally. Alanna nodded and ran to the infirmary. Kel made it up to the gate and looked out with her spyglass.
"Twenty or so coming from the north." Said Sergeant Jacut. "And about fifteen from the south and thirty-two from the east and none from the west so far." Kel nodded. She knew there would be more. They probably where attacking in groups. And will send another fifty at the end.
"Men With bows, hold your fire at the west wall." Barked Kel. "Fire when I say." Kel looked in her spyglass, they were just about in range..... "FIRE" Kel yelled and thirty bows shot as one. Five men went down dead. Two un-horsed, and one injured. "FIRE" Kel yelled again. Another three went down. "Fire at will" she told them with that she went to the west wall.
it seemed as if movement was there when she remember it could be an illusion. She quickly tied her griffin band to her head and gasped. Seventy five men and counting were riding to the west wall. "TO THE WEST WALL" She screamed. Refugees waiting for they're turn to fight ran to her aid. She looked at a small girl and smiled. "Go find Alanna." The girl nodded and ran.
A few minuets later, Alanna was at her side. "You called for me?" Kel nodded and pointed to the west.
"It's an illusion. Can you lift it?" Alanna nodded and purple fire swirled around her. In a moment the army was visible for all. "Fire At Will!" Kel screamed. Alanna pointed her head to the flammable arrows.
"Can we?" She asked with a grin.
"Use the flaming arrows!" Kel screamed. "Take your orders from Alanna." Kel looked at her. "I have to go out there with Wolset's men. Keep an eye on the south wall." Alanna nodded and Kel raced down to the steps. Wolset and his men all mounted. Tobe handed her Peachblossom. She kissed his head.
"Be safe m'lady!" Tobe called as they ran out from the gates.
Kel went to the front of the fifteen men. "Lets ride!" she said and put Peachblossom into a gallop.
As the gates closed behind her Kel saw a lot of men. Only fifteen of us she thought. Well at least I will die knowing I was loved. A man came at her and Kel snapped back into reality. She let her glaive slice through his arm cutting it off, from there she aimed at another man trying to kill Peachblossom. Peachblossom kicked another man in the head. He went down and didn't move. Arrows rained down on them. About a third of the raiders where down when fire started falling from the sky.
"Fall back lady!" cried Wolset. Kel did so aiming her glaive at who ever got pasted the rang of fire. Almost all the riders where dead, when the rest of them fled. Kel and her men went around each side checking for survivors of the enemy. None where found. They road back into New Hope sweaty and tried.
Kel faltered as she came out of her saddle. As her left leg touched the ground she winced. Though she hadn't noticed an arm length gash went from just above her knee to her ankle. Dom saw Kel was hurt and helped her to the infirmary.
Kel fell asleep to seeing purple eyes just above her face. "she looks like she might never...." And that's when she blacked out.
End of Chappie!
I like cliff hangers. Also I know I have been updating very fast. This is because I have no school for four days. When I do have school, my updates will be longer apart.
