Disclaimer: gah! I'm all out of creative juices for the moment infact, I'm out of a lot of things right now
so you know the drill, I don't own it. It's Tamora Pierce's. What else can I say? I'm really drained right
now, but if you want to make me feel better...review. Peace out! -LDoQ
CHAPTER NINE
Moving On
Kel felt exhausted but satisfied as she stiffly made her way back to her room. Early that
morning, she had dressed and stepped out of her room full of hope. Kel was stunned at the sight
that confronted her. *What happened?* She wondered. *I couldn't have been so out of it that I
missed all this.* But she had been. Mindelan was a disaster. So after breakfast, Kel, her family,
and the rest of the group that hadn't gone along with Raoul, set out to repair some of the mess. It
had been long, tedious, and often strenuous work. Ilane protested strongly all day about Kel
helping with the clean up.
"You just had a healing." She reasoned. "You really should rest. My lord wont be happy
if your sick or too tired to go back to Scanra with him." They argued back and fourth like this all
day until Ilane finally relented to Kel's stubbornness. "Don't come to me." Ilane warned. "When
you're too soar to move in the morning. Sometime after mid-day, Larent, Dom, and a few of his
squad members had returned. They explained that Lord Raoul and the rest thought they would be
back by this evening.
"We weren't doing any real good." Dom explained with a dazzling smile directed at Kel.
"You know how I hate not being useful. Plus I really wanted to see how you were doing. Do
you feel okay? Shouldn't you be in bed if you just had a healing?" He demanded seriously. "Not
out here removing rubble.
"How did you know about that?" Kel asked.
"I have my ways." He told her. "Now answer my first question."
"I'm fine Kel assured him. I already had this argument with mother."
"You mother sounds like a very intelligent person." Dom replied.
"I am." Her mother came over invading their conversation. She then led Dom away so he
could get cleaned up from his long journey.
Now the day was almost over, and they had made considerable progress in the repair of
her home. But of course there was still much to do. It was evening and the cooks and servants
had been working equally as hard preparing a warm meal for the weary workers. Kel excused
herself before the meal began saying that she wanted to change out of her dirty clothes before
she ate.
Kel was just pulling a fresh shirt over her head when she heard the door to her room
quietly open and close. Softly she heard footsteps next to her in the room. Startled, Kel, hastily
pulled her head out, and straightened her shirt so it covered her properly. Kel prepared herself to
confront whoever had been so bold and uncouth as to just walk in without the slightest hesitation.
And then she stopped, mouth open. Not expecting in the least what was coming next. Or
even who would be standing there.
A/N: Remember the lovely eavesdropper? Well...Tune in next time for another exciting chapter
in Squire Keladry; Mother? *dramatic music* the sooner, longer, and more frequently you review,
the sooner I post the next chappie! *hysterical laughter* sorry it was so short, but the last one
was long *~* SO they balance out. I guess. Hmm whatever. Oh, and I am so incredibly happy/excited/
relieved, ya know, cuz FINALS are FINALLY over. This was literally the week from hell. Study
test, study test. i thought it would never end. But I made it, and now there's only one term left.
I can't believe how fast this year went, but like you really wanted or cared to know right? REVIEW!
Oh and if you read my other story "Taming the Lioness" which you should. The voices are explained
by finals. I think. FINALS SUCK MONKIES! I live in a permanent state of stress. b'cuz of them!
Anywho... I'm outie ---LDoQ (NO MORE TESTS! YEA!)
