Thanks To All My Reviewers I suppose you all just wanna hear the story...
Chap 5.
Kel lay awake most of that night staring at her ceiling just thinking. She didn't see the use in crying so she didn't. Though her muscles strained desperetely wanting to let the salty liquid flow from her eyes.
"There is no possible way I can be in love with Dom." Kel told herself 'But you said you were' argued her mind. "I know that's what I said but it's not possible. We're just friends... I mean we were friends-" That was the last thing Kel said all night for shortly after she fell asleep.
She woke early that next morning to the chirping of birds outside her window. She got up and dressed not bother to take a bath. She wasn't in the mood. She strode from her room with her bow and arrows in her hands. When she reached the practice courts she strung her bow and shot at the target, hitting it squarely at its center. She did this a few more times, with direct hits and near misses from the center of the target. Soon after a black haired foreigner walked out to the practice courts.
"Morning Keladry." said the overly cheery voice. Kel spun around with her bow strung and shot narrowly missing Ana's head but instead hitting the tree next to her. "Now is that a way to treat your guest?" as Ana with a white toothed smile.
"What's up with you that's made you so cheery." Kel asked glaring at her.
"Nothing. I just think today is going to be a fine day. Toodles Keladry." said the boisterous Ana who walked away from the practice courts with a certain spring in her step. Something told Kel that today her day was going to be a living hell.
Breakfeast was quieter than usual. After all of the past days disputes most people where not talking. Kel mostly just glared at her food in hope that it would magically apear in her mouth as opposed to actually eating it. This time instead of leaving early Kel was one of the last people to leave. It was just her, Dom and Ana at the table. She made the first move out of the silence and cleared her full tray before leaving. Dom and Ana did the same thing suite. Once outside the doors Kel took a right and headed for the stables. As did Ana but Dom took a left headed for wherever. Ana made sure she stayed a good distance behind Kel as not to be noticed. Kel entered the stable still oblivious to Ana's presence. She pet Peachblossom's snout affectionatly and smiled as her breathed on her face.
"At least I know you believe me Peachblossom." Kel said hugging the horses snout.Then suddenly out of nowhere a thick piece of cloth fit itself between Kel's mouth. She struggled hastily but still rope found it's way around her wrists tying her hands behind her back.
"See why I was so cheery now Keladry." spoke Ana spinning Kel around her to face her. "Remember how I was a slave. First of all I was not the Empresses's slave. That would have been fine with me. No I was the slave to a lord in Carthak. Well out of the goodness of his heart he told me if I could find a suitable replacement, that would make him well known, then I could have my freedom. Well don't you think having the second Lady Knight would be suitable enough." Ana said before giving a shrill whistle. Seconds later a large man came into the stalbe smirking.
"Tell his lordship that this is my replacement, Keladry. She is the second Lady Knight of Tortall if he asks." said Ana before walking merrily from the stables with a wave to Kel. The big mand half led half dragged Kel to the woods where there was another smaller man. He held onto both Kel and the big man and they where engulfed in a navy blue flame. The view of the forest fled her sight and she soon found herself in front of a large manor like building. The big man led Kel into the building and up a large flight of stairs into a study where a man was sitting reading. His hair was long and blonde pulled back into a stiff pony-tail. His face was lean, as was his frame. He was a semi-good looking man but there was a snobbish rude air about him
"My Lordship, this is the replacement Miss Ana sent." the big man said bowing. After the man ordered the big man to stand up and un-do Kel's bindings the big man left and locked the door after closing it.
"Well then, Welcome to Carthak. I am Lord Glacor. What is your name?" he spoke icily.
"Kel." Kel muttered glaring at him.
"Kel is not the sort of name parents would give to a girl what is your birth name. I shall address you by that."
"Keladry." she muttered again.
"Well then Keladry. I must admit you look a bit scruffy but we can fix that easily." Lord Glacor snapped his fingers and the door unlocked and in walked the big man again.
"Brutus. Please fetch a maid and tell her I want miss Keladry clean and dressed before supper. For the time being rags will serve their purpose. Miss Keladry has to earn decent clothes around here. After the maid is finished with her please apply her collar. And remember this must be done before supper." spoke Lord Glacor. Brutus led her out of the room and a maid collected her. Kel was thrown into a cold bath but the maid specially made sure that Kel did not get her long blonde hair wet. After the bath the maid led her into another room where she gave Kel a loin-cloth and breast-band that Kel quickly put on. The the maid went into a dresser and took out a raggy dress. It was a faded brown color and came down to about her knees. The edges where frayed and she had a slit going up the side. There were holes on the side of her waist, and where her left shoulder blade was. She was completely missing one sleeve and only had a quarter of the other. She was given no shoes. The maid brushed the snarls from Kel's hair and let it lay down and straight reaching just below her shoulder blades. The maid left and Brutus took her away to another darker room, where he painfully applied her slave collar. Then she was taken to the dining hall where the lord was already half-way through dinner.
"Ah welcome Keladry. He said grabbing her wrist and drawing her closer to him and onto his lap. There where other men in the room who looked oddly at Kel. "Oh this everyone is Keladry. She will be replacing Ana who has sadly left us." Glacor explained quickly before looking at Kel again. "Alright Keladry here are some things that we must go over. You will always answer to me as "my lordship". You will do what your told when your told no matter who tells you to do it without question. I suppose you know how that pretty little collar works so don't try running away. And I suppose really that's all. Are we understood Keladry."
"Yes my lordship."
"Good." he said looking at her. "When you're washed up you really do have a pretty little face. It would be a shame to waste it. Brutus will show you to my quarters. I will be joining you shortly."
"Alright my lordship." Kel replied before the silent Brutus led her to a large chamber. Inside was a lit fire and many couched. The floor was carpeted with a deep crimson to match much of the furniture in the spacious room. Up against the wall in the center of the room was a large bed. Brutus threw Kel onto a couch and the left locking the door. Kel sat there for half and hour amazed with herself. That very morning she had been the normal, "butt-kicking", Lady Knight, Kel. And after a few hours at this place she had turned into the rag wearing, order taking, slave, Keladry. When Lord Glacor arrived he looked at Kel with a smirk.
"Good-Evening Keladry." he said picking her up and dropping her on his bed. Then quickly he began to undress. Kel refused to look. But soon he was naked and and grabbed Kel taking off her raggy dress, loin-cloth and breast-band, tossing them off somewhere. He placed his over-powering naked body on top of Kel's and smiled. "Time to take advantage of that pretty little face." he whispered before he stole Kel's virginity from her.
This was gonna be two chappies but I thought you guys deserved a long one! Yes I know it's icky (tee hee I love the wore icky!) and I'm mean to poor Kel and it looks like Ana won and la-dee-dah-dee-dah but please before you come hunt me down let me get the next chapter up PLEASE! Some ideas would be great too. You can't expect me to do this all by myself can you... thats what I though. R&R!
