Chapter 6:

To Kel it seemed like days before Neal came to find her and tell her that Dom had woke up. Kel nearly ran out of the room but remembered that she was a commander and couldn't do that. Trying to walk fast without tripping over any grooves or holes in the pathway Kel made her way over to Neal's healing station. She couldn't believe that Dom had slept for four days.

She arrived at Dom's door quickly combing her hair with her fingers and wiping off any dirt that stuck to her face. She knocked on the door and stood in front of it straining her ears for any sound inside.

"Come in." She heard voice say trying to say it as loud as it could.

Kel opened the door and stuck her head in the room leaving her body on the other side of the door.

Dom looked up curious to see who it was. A broad smile light his face when he saw it was Kel. He slowly tried to sit up not wanting Kel to see that his leg was paining him.

"Hey there, sergeant. How are you? How's your leg?" Kel gave Dom the warmest smile he ever saw as she said this.

Seeing Kel's smile Dom's feelings for Kel flooded his body. She seems worried about me! Kel worried about me! ME! Dom, calm down, it's probably nothing Kel worries about everyone!

"Oh…it's fine…I mean my leg is fine. Just a bit sore every once in awhile. How are you I asked Neal how you faired in the fight he said you just got a gash on your arm, nothing serious I hope."

"No, nothing serious Dom; not like your wound." Kel said.

Kel made her way over to Dom's bed and sat down hoping not to jostle Dom's leg at all.

Gods, Kel what are you doing sitting on his bed. Kel get up, wait that might be rude and Dom doesn't seem to mind. Kel thought.

Dom smiled as Kel sat on his bed. A silence fell between them like fog settling into a valley. The silence was broken when Dom started asking about strategies that Kel used to keep off her attackers.

An hour passed as Kel and Dom talked about strategies and other things. Both of them didn't notice how much time passed until a message boy came in with a message for Kel from Lord Wyldon.

"Thank you so much." Kel said as the boy left the room. "Well I better get to Wyldon's office in case it's something important. I'll see you later Dom."

Surprising both Kel and Dom, Kel gave Dom a quick kiss on the cheek then hurried out of the room with a blush making her cheeks cherry red. Dom sat in bed stunned. Kel kissed me! She kissed me! She kissed me! She kissed me! Maybe she likes me! Dom stop getting your thoughts ahead it was probably just a kiss friend to friend. But…she kissed me! She kissed ME!

Kel hurried out of the room after giving Dom the kiss. Kel I can't believe you kissed him even if it was just on the cheek. What came over you? Maybe it was the way his hair was falling nicely into his face but not covering his eyes. Or the way he looked at you with a wide grin spread across his face that always makes my stomach flip-flop. Hopefully he'll think it was just a kiss friend to friend it would be embarrassing for him to know I like him if he doesn't like me. Oh, Kel what did you get yourself into?

Kel's thought broke as she knocked on Wyldon's office.

"Enter." A voice bellowed from inside.

Wyldon looked up as Kel walked in.

"Keldary just the commander I wanted to see. Kel unfortunately I have some bad news. Something bad happened." Wyldon paused before going on uncertain on how to break the news to Kel. " Kel you might want to take a seat."

Kel sat worry-making knots inside her stomach.

"Kel something happened. Raiders hit a fort and 25 people are…dead." Wyldon couldn't seem to go on.

"Kel, it happened at New Hope"

Sorry it took so long for me to update. My computer didn't want to work for a couple of days then just a week before the show my horse started to become lame because her feet became sore cause her frog is touching the ground so she has to get shoes, but we couldn't go to the show cause the farrier didn't come at all so we couldn't compete and now uggh! Anyway sorry for my rambling, in your reviews tell me any ideas you might have the story such as ways to get Dom and Kel stuck together with each other alone… or anything you want to see happen in the story. Thanks for everyone who reviewed!
