Hey all Tortal and the characters from it do not belong to me O.K? I hope you enjoy the next chapter of the story:

The view was breathtaking Susan and the others could hardly help but stare. The girls could just imagine what it would look like at sundown with the castle against the pink and orange sky. They got there at two in the afternoon and were met at the gate by a slightly older young man with red hair and hazel eyes. He greeted his younger brother and then welcomed the guests he to noticed the strange clothes they were wearing but he said nothing about it.

"Welcome to Pirate's Swope. My name is Thom; my Parents would love to greet you themselves but they are both busy right now but you will meet them later. I hope my brother wasn't a total jerk to you." He said the last bit with a laugh.

Susan was the first to catch the joke "Oh yeah of course he was."

"Hahaha very funny. Just remember who helped you when you were lost and invited you to his house."

Everyone started laughing. By the time they were calmed down enough to say anything they had been joined by two people. One, a man with brown hair, was dressed in simple clothes breeches and shirt. The other, a woman with red hair and purple eyes, was dressed in a shirt, tunic and hose.

"Well I thought I told Thom to welcome you and show you were you were staying but obviously I was wrong."

"Sorry mom."

"Welcome to Pirate's Swope, I'm Barron George and this is my wife, Lady eh Sir Alanna the Lioness and Kings Champion."

"Pleased to meet you." Susan said quickly, "My name is Susan and these are my friends Kathleen, Devin and Tomy"

As Susan named them they all nodded there heads towards the baron and knight. After the introductions the four were showed the rooms they would be staying in. Susan was unpacking her bag when someone knocked on the door. Susan was about to yell come in but she thought better of it and walked over to open the door. It reveled Kathleen who had gotten to her room first.

"Hey Sue just came to see if you needed any help unpacking. I finished and I would like to talk."

"Sure, come in and thanks."

They started to unpack and talk. They looked at what had been put in the bag. They took out and put away tunics dresses, shirts, breeches, shoes and boots none of which Susan had ever seen before.

"Where did these come from Susan?"

"I don't know when you unpacked were there clothes were there clothes like this in your bag?"

"Uh huh only mine are green and have a white lamb on it... what's on yours?"

"Mine are purple and have a silver dove on them"

"I wonder if..."

But Kathleen had no time to finish the sentence because Tomy and Devin came running in talking quickly, so quickly that Susan and Kathleen couldn't understand them.

"TOMY DEVIN SHUT UP AND THEN REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID ONE AT A TIME AND SLOWER!"

"Okay Susan I'll go first. Tomy and I..."

"We found clothing we had never seen before in our bags and..."

"We were wondering if you had some to"

"See for you" Susan said.

"The boys looked in and saw the clothes and gasped"

"You to Kathleen?" asked Devin

Kathleen nodded. "What do yours look like?"

Devin's were navy blue with and gold cross on it and Tomy's were deep red with a bronze chalice on it. Knock knock.

Alan and his brother Thom were standing in the door way.

"Hello"

"Hello my parents wanted to let you know that you four are to join us for dinner."

"O.K."

The brothers turned to leave but first they introduced the four of them to the servants who would be helping them get ready. Soon after the brothers left Tomy and Devin left to go get ready. Susan and Kathleen talked for a few more minutes before being reminded that dinner was in an hour and they still needed to get ready. Dinner was apparently a formal affair because the maid pulled out one of Susan's light blue dresses and helped her put it on. Susan put a little blue eyeshadow and a small gold and silver cross. She left the room and walked down the hall Devin and Kathleen looked up

"Susan you look beautiful" exclaimed Kathleen

Wow she looks pretty nice thought Devin

Just then Tomy walked down the hall with Thom and Alan.

Susan looks so beautiful I never knew that she could be so good looking. Thought Tomy.

Mithros she is so beautifull why did I ever think she was strange? Thought Alan

HEHEHE sorry but I have to go to bed and so I must end the chapter now but I think that at least I gave you something to think about.
