Dom's POV

Dom awoke to the sound of a tent door being opened. He rolled over in his bedroll so that he was on his stomach. His tent flap was slightly ajar, allowing him a clear view of the campsite. It was still slightly dark, but his eyes adjusted quickly. It only took him a moment to figure out who else was awake. Kel. Dom watched her silently from inside his tent. She had crawled out of her warm and cozy bed, and was pulling her boots on over thick wool socks. After she finished lacing them up, she stood and dusted herself off. She shivered against the cool spring air, and retreated into her tent.

"Gods." whispered Dom. "She is so beautiful."

Kel re-emerged from her tent with a traveling cloak around her shoulders. She quietly traipsed through the camp to where the horses were picketed. She quickly located Peachblossom in the growing light. She grabbed his halter off the tree that they had dubbed 'the tack tree', and slipped it over his nose with practiced ease. She also found a lead rope and clipped it onto the halter. She started to walk away and then stopped. She seemed to be considering something.

Dom continued to watch her every move.

Peachblossom gave his mistress a gentle push in the back as if to say, 'weren't we going somewhere?' Kel shook her head and mumbled something to the horse. Dom strained his ears to hear what she was saying, but to no avail.

Peachblossom snorted and stamped his foot impatiently. Kel left him for a moment. She wandered over to the tack tree, and selected another halter. Dom watched in astonishment as Kel haltered his mount. Then she fetched another lead rope, and led Spirit over to where Peachblossom waited. Peachblossom eyed the new arrival obviously contemplating whether or not to sink his teeth into the other horse. But Kel stepped between the two before he had decided. She led them through camp trying desperately not to make noise. She stopped outside of Dom's tent. Dom quickly shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Kel opened the tent flap and said softly, "Dom,"

He rolled over, still faking it.

"Dom wake up." she prodded.

She tapped his shoulder and he stirred.

"Kel?" he asked, with phony drowsiness.

She nodded. "Get up and come with me." she whispered.

She stood up and left the tent. She stuck her head back in and added, ""I'll explain later."

Dom literally jumped out of his bedroll and into his clothes. I wonder what this is about…Dom thought, slipping on his boots. He left his tent and looked around for Kel. He spotted her at the edge of camp holding the two feisty horses. He walked over to her and took Spirit's lead from her left hand. His fingertips brushed her palm, and he felt a warmth flow though his hand. He saw her lush slightly and he knew she felt it too.

"Umm…w-we better hurry." she stammered, putting up her Yamani mask.

"Right," he replied. "Uh…by the way, where exactly are we going?"

"Come with me," she said.

She hopped nimbly onto Peachblossom's bare back, and quietly urged him into the woods. Dom sighed and followed her.

He guided his mount up next to her. When they were out of earshot of camp, he turned to her and said, "Ok, spill."

She looked at him. She was drawn to his bright blue eyes, and for a moment she was lost in two swirling pools of brilliant color. She felt as if she could tell him anything, and everything. She felt…safe. "Well, yesterday when I was getting water, I saw something across the river. And I wanted to see what it was, that's why I got up so early." she said.

"So…How does this involve me?" he asked. "Couldn't stand t be away from me?" he added teasingly.

"No," she replied simply.

His face held a look of mock hurt.

"I-I brought you along in case…just in case I got hurt or something. When his look didn't go away, she laughed and added, "And maybe because I didn't want to be lonely."

He grinned at her. "Alas! I knew it to be true!" he taunted. "You can't hide your true feelings from me!"

She laughed again. They rode on, teasing each other all the way, until they reached the small river.

Kel scanned the opposite bank. She once again saw the sun glint off of an unknown object. She swung her legs off Peachblossom's broad back and landed smoothly on the rocky ground. She looked up at Dom. "Coming?" she teased. He jumped down and joined her by the water. "Kel, wont people wonder where we are?"

She thought for a moment, still looking out across the calm water, then shook her head. "I told Raoul last night, and everyone will just assume that you heard me leave and came after me." she beamed at him. "Which is partially true, because you did hear me leaving, and you would have come whether I asked you to or not. Am I right?"

Dom grinned sheepishly. "Nothing gets past you, Mother." He waved an arm towards the river. "Now that that's settled, shall we?" he smirked.

"We shall," she replied with a flourish.

They tied Peachblossom and Spirit to a nearby tree, and waded into the slow current. Although this part of the river wasn't very fast, it was still slow going. They trudged through the waist high water, trying not to slip on the rocks. When they finally reached the opposite bank, Kel suggested that they sit and dry out for a minute. As soon as they were both partially dry, Kel started looking for the thing she had seen. Dom followed closely behind her. Suddenly Kel stooped to pick something up, and Dom, without realizing she had stopped, ran into her. This caused them both to tumble head over heels, until they hit a tree. Well Dom hit a tree and Kel hit him…but the point is they both stopped. Kel groaned. "Ouch, my head," she grumbled. "Dom why did you do that?" she asked harshly.

"I dishn't dul itton pulpus!" Came the muffled, yet indignant reply. (A/N: if you cover you mouth with your hand and say, 'I didn't do it on purpose' it sounds like 'I dishn't dul itton pulpus' try it)

"Huh?"

He tapped her hip impatiently. She looked down, and then jumped up. She had landed, and been sitting, on Dom's head. As soon as she got up she said, "I'm so sorry Dom!"

"That's ok Kel," he said standing up. "The whole thing was my fault anyway…" He noticed she had something in her hand. "Kel, what's that your holding?"

She looked down. "Oh right. "This is what I saw last night." she explained. "I didn't know what it was though, then."

Dom held out a hand. "May I see it?" he asked.

She nodded and dropped it into his outstretched palm. Dom fingered the object. It was a large clear crystal, that had a slight pink tinge to it. They both recognized it immediately. It was used by mages, for scrying. It was extremely shiny and smooth surfaced, making it easy to see images clearly. It could be used for other things too, but scrying was the main use.

SNAP!

Kel and Dom jumped and were scanning the tree line. Oh no Kel thought. She slowly lifted her head and looked upwards. There, in the trees above them, with the head of a man and the body of a spider, was a spidren. They heard a few more twigs snap, and then they were trapped between three large, very hungry looking spidrens.

A/N: Ha Ha! A cliffie! I am such a hypocrite…Oh well…I know it's short but it's better than nothing right! And don't worry, they can't die, they're the main characters! And no matter how much you beg I refuse to tell you what happens next!
