Chapter 3: Problems

Disclaimer: Again I own nothing...

Hope you like this chap too ( if something is misspelled I'm sorry I forgot how to spell)

Kings Lioness- I really don't know. I'll figure it out though probably some enemies...it might be a flashback of some sort in a future chap...

Lady Knight 1512- I'll try with the talking I'm not as good as I'd like to be but I can try...and my pen name I wanted to get more into Kel's world Tortall so I created my own house and I like the name to.

Thanks for reviewing guys it means a lot.Here we go...this chap starts three months after the last chap don't worry she's going off again...

"Kel you really shouldn't be going out there. You know, with your condition and all," Neal said seriously as he watched her suit up in armor. "No one knows except for you my meathead come now be a little more like Owen battle is 'fun' as he says," Kel muttered to Neal, "hey, where is my helm?" "If you mean this," Neal said holding it up, "then you can't have it." Kel was growing ever slowly impatient. "Neal, give that to me, please," she said sternly before she was wrapped up in a huge warm embrace. "Fine then just don't get yourself hurt," he said his eyes showing a mix of emotions. "I won't Peachblossom will make sure of that." "I bet he will," Neal muttered kissing Kel's lips for a second.

Kel saddled up and headed out with Lord Raoul and the other men from the own. "Kel?" Raoul muttered looking her over worriedly. "What? I'm fine. Don't worry over me I'll be fine." "I bet you will be, but," he stopped looking back at the land they were leaving behind, "Neal came to my office yesterday Kel." Kel's eyes grew wide and she galloped to the back of the line where she could think. If Neal had told Lord Raoul then he must have talked to Lord Wyldon. Great Mithros would she kill him. Well she hadn't exactly told Neal to not tell anyone so...it didn't matter. "Kel what's wrong?" Merric asked as he joined her in the back. "Nothing Merric it's nothing," Kel said keeping her voice steady and calm. "Your nothings always meaning something Kel," Merric told her raising an eyebrow. "If you knew, than I probably wouldn't be here, you'd make sure of it, you and the rest of the people in Tortall." Merric gave her a questioning look and was about to ask what it was when Lord Raoul called for quiet.

"Guard yourselves," he whispered as a enormous group of hill bandits came at them. They fought hard and after about two hours the last of them were killed. Lord Raoul got off of his horse and looked at the scene in front of him. Most of the attacks had been aimed at Kel for some reason. All of a sudden he saw Kel lift up one hand from her side and he saw the red of blood. "Merric, get your men and take her back now." "No," Kel coughed, "you can't single me out and you know it." "You're the only one that's injured in any way so I'm sending you back to get healing," he said in a way that made sure she wouldn't argue. Merric started to gallop away, but Kel stayed where she was meeting Raoul's eyes stubbornly.

She knew in her mind that if he hadn't known about 'it' then he wouldn't be doing this. Raoul ordered his men to set up camp and as soon as his tent was set up he dragged Kel in there. "Kel you know better than to disobey a direct order." "There is a healer here Raoul, just because you know I'm well you know that doesn't mean you can order me back to the palace." Raoul shook his head thinking of Alanna when they were kids and then thinking of the moment when Kel had brought back her refugees and would have taken her punishment. Lord Raoul looked up at Kel almost father like. "Kel go back," Lord Raoul said almost tiredly he was losing this battle with Kel. Before Kel had a chance to retaliate a messenger came in. Both Kel and Raoul knew the seal in front of them. Kel shook her head threw up her hands and walked outside quickly when she was far enough away to where no one would hear her curses she retaliated.

She threw rocks into the forest and shook her head. "Mithros, Mithros, Mithros. This can not be happening, this is some stupid dream!" She looked up to see a group of Scaravan soldiers advancing on her. "MERRIC! RAOUL! ATTACK!" Merric ran out to see Kel being taken away. "RAOUL!" he yelled as he ran back to the commander's tent. "Lord Raoul they've taken her they've taken Kel!" Raoul gazed up at the letter the messenger had brought. It was from Lord Wyldon.

Lord Raoul,

As you may know our dear lady knight Kelendry is with child. Send her back she is in no condition to fight. Do not under any circumstance let your eyes off of her at any time. Jon wants the lady safe Raoul you know how stubborn she can get. You have permission to tie her to her horse and bring her back if it comes to it. Alanna says she'll kill you if anything happens to the chit. Lord Raoul send Merric and his squad back to the palace with Kelendry. We'll send them back soon.

Lord Wyldon

Merric read through the letter twice before slamming his fist down on the table hard. "Mithros Lord Raoul she's gonna kill us! What do they want with her?" Raoul gazed at Merric before rubbing his eyes and getting started on a reply back to Wyldon. "What are we going to do?" "We're going to sit here and wait for instructions Sir Merric we are not to go after her. Alanna's going to kill me!" "Yeah well I have Neal and Owen who are going to kill me." "You don't know Alanna lad not when she get's angry." "Yeah well Neal's in love with her." "Merric," Raoul muttered, "we may have a problem."
