"What about you and Dom?" whispered Neal softly, unsurely. He had always wondered if Kel liked him. "We broke up about three months ago, I'm sorry about Yuki going with Dom and everything, he shouldn't have." Neal's lips melted with her again for a few moments. Kel looked at him with passion as they moved under the shelter of the rock so the two above them couldn't see. "Neal I care about you I might even love you," Kel's voice rang out loud and clear in his mind. As their breeches came down and shirts taken off they actually began to use their minds.
Kel was still bleeding on her lower left leg, but Neal didn't need to know that at the moment she'd be strong. When Kel looked around later as Neal slept by her side her eyes opened wide frightened. Her anti-pregnancy charm was not on her neck, she had forgotten she had put it in her breeches. She looked at Neal and then got up and dressed hurriedly. Neal would fuss something terrible if he knew she was till bleeding or that she never had her charm on.
"Neal we have to go up they want to see us," Neal nodded and got dressed. Neal saw she was limping on her left leg and wondered. "Kel," Neal said sternly, "let me see your left leg, you're limping." Kel looked at him blankly for a minute then yanked on the rope that was trailing from the top. "Neal I'm fine there's nothing to worry about," said Kel with authority. But Neal did worry.
Once she was able to grab the top of the cliff she felt strong hands bring her over the top. "Kel, what happened?" that was Lord Wyldon speaking. "I wasn't watching where I was going and I stepped off a cliff and hung there for about five hours," she bowed her head in defeat, "I'm sorry." "Kel, why in Mithros name did you not call for help?" She looked up at him with water in her eyes. It was just to much she fell to her knees and did not get up. "Kel," a voice said sternly in her ear. Someone was shaking her awake.
She found herself lying on the ground where she had fell. "Kel," it was Neal's voice. She opened her eyes a crack before she began to shake all over. "Neal I'm fine just let me get up." She tried to stand up she tried to move, but she was unable. All of a sudden a horrid sharp pain split her leg making her grab at her it and let out a scream. Neal was the first at her side. "Kel, let me see your left leg now," there was authority in his voice like she had never heard before. He lifted back her pants leg and found that it was bleeding. "How long has this been bleeding Kel?" he asked intensively. "Since you first found me, but I thought it was nothing," she replied about to fall asleep. "You thought it was- you thought it was MITHROS you know as well as I do that even a small cut can get infected," he screamed at her.
She started to cry she didn't know why, but she did. Neal touched her head soothingly. "It's infected," he told the other two sharply. He started to list all of the things he would need. Once they left, he whispered in her ear. "Kel, you're also pregnant with my child," he whispered shock in his voice. "Where was your charm last night," he asked soothingly. When he looked down at her she was sweating and asleep in his arms. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Kel I love you." A small smile was on her lips when he looked at her closely. He needed his father this infection was serious, and other matters needed to be dealt with.
