Lil: enjoy and tell us what ya think ok?

Kitera: We kinda rushed this chap so yeah

Alanna stared out of the window. She was still thinking about Liam. 'Liam,' she sighed. Just then the door swung open and Jonathon entered. He gasped as he saw his wife by the window. She was beautiful. Her purple dress clung into her body. Her lovely cooper hair shone brightly.

'Alanna, my dear.' He walked over to her as if he was in a trance.

Alanna turned her head and smile weakly at her husband. Though handsome he is... he wasn't Liam. She move away from his outstretch arms, making excuse that she must see someone.

Jonathan wasn't pleased but before he could protest she was gone.

She walked past the castle, wearing her cape, and down to the Dancing Dove where her best friend George was.

She was greeted with a warm welcome, treating her just normal instead of a Queen.

She was squash against a big, broad man. Alanna looked up to see dancing hazel eyes staring at her.

'How its goin' lass?" he let go of her and grinned but frowned as he saw her sad expression. He excuses himself from the other and told her to come to his chamber upstairs. Once seated in a comfortable chair by the fireplace he poured her a glass of drink.

'What is it lass? You could tell your big friend.' He said which bought her a smile.

'Nothing really Its just...' she sighed.

'Is it about Liam?' George asked. She nodded. They talked for a while. (Didn't want to go on about what they talk about because it will sure put you to sleep. ''Snore.'')

She left the Dancing Dove and was escort by George. 'George I don't need you to take me back home I know where is it.'

He snorted. 'Right and leave you when there might be danger lurking at every corner.' She laughed then.

The next day she woke up to see that she was alone in bed. She smiled happily. Thankful that Jonathon wasn't there. She got up to dress and went down to the hall. She turned a corner when she bumps into something... or someone hard. She looked up and squealed (um... do Alanna squeal?).

'Roaul haven't seen you in a while.' She hugged him fiercely.

'Nice to see you too Alanna but... could you get off me. I... can't... breath.' She blushed and let go of him.

'Better,' he said, smiling at his friend. Raould was back from a war against the scanran and was needed to command a whole army. They have been away for a few months now but it felt like years to Alanna.

She stood back to look at her friend and saw that he was much different then the Roaul she came to know. His hair was longer and darker and he seems much older then before. 'You look... different.' He smiles.

"Ah come here lass," he said as he picked her up and hugged her again.

'Course I look different. Been away for months what do you expect? A small little boy?' He laughed as he put her down again

Alanna laugh. Just that moment she forgot about Liam but not entirely.

'Got a lot of catching up to do. Why don't you come down to the Dancing Dove where George is?' Alanna said. Roaul grinned then nodded.

"Wait here" Alanna said as she made her way to her bedchamber. She was smiling again. Her best friend had came back safe and sound. She entered her bedchamber and to her surprise roses were everywhere. Her heart leapt the only person that knew she love roses was Liam.

"Liam?" she called as she took another step into her bedchamber. She fingered the pendant he gave her.

"I love you," she whispered and too her horror Jonathan appeared. She gasped as she took a step back. "What are you doing here?"

"You know how long I have lusted for you?" he asked her as he took a step towards her, "And yet you do not love me"

Alanna looked away as he took her hands in his.

"I could be like him Alanna I could be like Liam" Jonathan whispered, "Please love me"

Alanna shook her head as she pulled her hands away from him, her eyes filled with tear.

"What kind of man is he?" Jonathan asked her gently.

"Someone that you can never be" Alanna whispered coldly.

Jonathan eyes flashed angrily as he yelled, "What have he got that I do not? Alanna Tell me!"

"Everything" Alanna screamed, "Everything he is not a spoiled brat like you!"

"GET OUT!" Jonathan roared. Alanna flinched and choking on her tears she darted out of her bedchamber. She was not afraid for herself but for her champion, now that Jonathan knows what would he do to Liam?

He had sent Liam to his death place, Alanna thought, No... I'll find him then we can run away...together....

She ran into George and he looked at her, his eyes filled with concern.

"What's wrong?" he asked as Roaul came to stand behind her.

"Take me to Liam" she whispered.

"What?" Roaul asked, "Alanna that's..."

"TAKE ME TO HIM" She screamed as she pounded her fist.

"But that's suicide" George said.

"Please take me to him" she pleaded as gripped George's tunic with both hands. "Please he is going to die he need me please I beg you George".

She was on her knees sobbing quietly. He lifted her up then gave a slight nod towards Roaul.

Roaul sighed then said, "I'll go round up the clowns"

(A/N he meant Neal and the others)

Faithful came screeching and meowing as he licked her hands.

Are you okay? What's the matter and Roger is back Faithful said.

"What?" Alanna gasped as she spotted her brother coming towards her.

"He's alive Jonathan somehow revived him," Thom said quietly.

George almost choked he swallowed hard.

"Come" Thom, said leading them towards the room he had been given.

There followed him and seated themselves down. Gary was there as he looked at everyone with concern. Gary eyed Alanna and he knew she had been crying but didn't point it out. Gary began explaining and when he was half way Neal, Dom, Kel, Yuki and Roaul entered.

"I tell ya he is going crazy, he is not his usual self" Gary spat as he swore under his breath.

"We have to do something" Alanna whispered, her tears have dried, "We cannot let Tortall be destroyed and with the war and everything Roger just make matters worst".

Everyone agreed.

"I think Jon have lost his mind" Neal said, "He have been acting strangely"

"I'm going to Aisenfield...Jonathan sent him there for a reason, to be killed" Alanna said quietly.

Dom spat the remaining of the water that was in his mouth and he dropped his flask.

"What?" Everyone yelled

"I say we got find him, bring him back here and deal with the rest later" Yuki said, "We can't let our own friend die"

"We leave tonight before dusk, go pack your things" George said as everyone nodded.

He felt his back rip open as he swung around and plunged his sword into the last Scaran's stomach. He looked around him, everyone was dead, all his troops and all the Scarans. He slumbered onto the ground and closed his eyes and he waited for death to arrive.

I have broken a promise He thought to himself No I will never break a promise to Alanna and its not time to break it now I will live I have to...she needs me and I love her.

He closed his eyes and released his sword from his grip; his hands tighten on the pendant that Alanna have given him.

"I love you Alanna" Liam murmured as he slipped into unconsciousness.

So did you like it?
