Chapter 4: Healing

Kel came around to the sound of voices. She kept her eyes closed to hear what was being said.

"She might try and do too much to fast." Drawled a worried voice marking the speaker as Neal.

"I just wish we didn't have to send her back. But she'll have a limp for the rest of her life if she works too hard." said Alanna

"Well maybe we could just let her stay here. She could do some small things, like look over the accounts and stuff." Merric said with a tone of sympathy. He wouldn't have wanted go back to Corus either.

Kel opened her eyes as a hand touched her forehead. She focused on the similar purple eyes of the Lioness. Alanna moved her hand away. She looed around the room and noticed two things. One was that she was in her own room not the infirmary. And Two Dom was also in the room, looking at her with relief.

She blinked at them looking down at her left leg she saw it was bandaged and bleeding slowly.

"We patched it up as best we could." Alanna told her. "We may still have to amputate it though." She said in a low voice. The other all looked at Neal and left the room.

He started to pace, running his hand through his hair so fast that Kel thought he would rip it out.

"Neal, I'm a big girl. Tell me what's wrong." Kel told him quietly. Neal sighed and sunk into the rooms only chair.

"Kel, you got cut with a magical blade designed to poison any wound it makes. We didn't get to you in enough time to stop it from getting in your blood. You won't heal quickly, and we can not help you enough along the way. Now you can stay here and be with Tobe or Dom at all times, or you can go back to Corus in a litter." Neal told her simply.

"I want to be with my friends, Neal" She said finally.

"That's what I thought you would say." He told her standing up. At that moment Dom and Tobe entered the room. Dom looking embarrassed for being there, Tobe happy to help. Tobe carried a vile steaming liquid and Dom some soup. He set it in front of her and she began to eat. Neal was leaving when he turned and pointed to the Tea. "Make sure she drinks that." He said and left the room.

Kel looked from Dom to Tobe. "You won't maybe over look that tea, would you Tobe?" She asked with innocence.

"No m'lady" he said handing it to her.

"Yes mother dear." She said and poured the liquid down her throat.

A week passed and with it enough strength for Kel to limp about New Hope with out an escort.

On one such outing, Kel was walking toward the land marked out for new houses. She was just about to turn back when Dom fell in beside her.

"You read the letter." He said simply. Not asking a question, only stating a fact.

"Yes." She told him. He stopped her and looked into her eyes.

"I was so scared when they said you might never wake up again. You had blacked out right before hand and I..." His voice trailed off and his hand came up to her face. "I love you." He told her. His hand traced the outline of her chin and made it way to the bottom of her neck before he dropped it.

"I would like to love you too." She told him. "But I don't know how." He lifted her chin a bit and placed a sweet kiss on her mouth.

"Than we can learn together." He told her before kissing her again.

End of Chappie!

Yes finally the love part. I didn't know how to make it happen but I think this was pretty good. Also I know Dom's letter to Kel was horrible but hey he is a guy.
