Chapter 3 (I have a name for this one) visitors
Kel was asleep on the infirmary bed when Tobe came in to deliver a message. "They will be here in less than an hour. Kel won't want him or Lord Wyldon here," Dom started unhappily.
"Neal, please tell me she's going to be okay," Dom and Merric asked sadly. They had never seen their friend in this much pain, not even when they did patrol at night at the training school. When Lord Raoul walked in they nodded their head and went back to staring at Kel. He pointed around, "Where's Kelendry you said that she was hurt?" They were all surrounding her to where he couldn't see. "Sir when she wakes order her, tell her she can't go outside again." He nodded and they stepped aside to show him what had happened.
He just stared at her trying not to believe what he saw. She woke up to see Lord Raoul staring at her. "I'm fine Raoul tell these friends of mine to let me go now," she sounded like an impatient child. "Kel, you're under no circumstances okay. You're hurt and you're friends are worried can't you see it," he asked tormented. He could see her start to cry but before he could go to her Dom was by her side putting arms around her. "Dom, I love you," she whispered, "but you gotta let me go." "Kel, I love you so much, and this is for your own benefit you have to stay here," he whispered. She sank down into the bed like a defeated soldier.
Without them knowing Lord Wyldon stood behind them all, looking at the runner of New Hope. "Kelendry, explain yourself, I won't stand for lies." She shook her head and pulled the covers over her head. "Lord Wyldon, he said he would kill everyone I cared for," Kel began in a strong but defeated voice, "just let me go and fight this out on my own." Everyone in the room was startled. "No!" they all said at once. Before they knew it she had fallen asleep.
"Blast her, you know she will do it if you let her," Lord Wyldon said quietly, "I got your letter Neal I'll see to Joren." Once Lord Wyldon and Lord Raoul left Kel woke up. "Neal, you told them of all people you could have told," she began madly, "the two people you knew would care." Neal nodded knowing it was no use arguing over it. "Let me out, please," she begged with silent tears falling down her face.
Dom soothed her back to sleep and saw Neal and Merric staring at him. Before anyone of them could say anything, Tobe brought in a letter for Kel. "I can't give it to any of you only to Lady Kelendry." They looked annoyed but let Tobe wake her up. He gave her the letter and was off to the stables. She read it twice but didn't say anything. "It's from my sister that's all you need to know," Kel said emotionless.
Once she knew they were all asleep she slipped out of the infirmary quietly and made it to the stables. She started to saddle up Peachblossom but only got half way there. "Where do you think you're going m'lady," Tobe asked sternly. Of course how had she forgot Tobe. "Tobe I need you to stay here I have to go on a mission alone." Tobe nodded even though she could see theat he was hurt. "Give this to Neal, Dom, Merric, Lord Wyldon, and Lord Raoul at noon tomorrow, not before." After she finished saying this she rode off on Peachblossom out of the gate.
