try to be good well sorry no more rambling enjoy 13)
Ebony finally pulling herself was able to quickly brush her hair, change into a pretty black
dress and head down toward the tavern. When she got there every one was already and to
her surprise there was a humungous cake sitting on the table. Ebony could only smile as she
looked at these people who where now her family. She sat between Arthur and Lancelot and
couldn't help but feel a little sad that Tristan was no where near her but at the complete end
of the table. The cake was cut up an and then handed out to every body then the dancing
started. For a couple of minuets Ebony watched as everybody danced. She was brought out
of here thought process when a finger tapped her shoulder. Ebony merely chuckled when she
turned around to see Gawain.
" May I have the first dance my lady " Gawain asked with a mock bow
" Aye my good lord" Ebony said with a mock curtsy
Gently pulling her up to the dance floor were they swayed to the music. Gawain though
usually a solemn person even though one of the younger ones cracked jokes the whole time
they danced. Ebony though enjoying her time couldn't help but sneak glances at the silent
scout in the corner. When the dance was over Ebony was handed over to the commander.
Although they danced Ebony wasn't able to give Arthur her full attention.
" Kitten what is wrong?" Arthur asked
" My mind wonders just wondering what will happen after we leave" Ebony answered.
Although he didn't believe her Arthur decided to leave it at that. They danced for another
couple of songs and then Galahad took his place.
" He loves you but will simply keep his distance out of respect for your brother" Galahad said
"How do you do that" Ebony said
" Because I know you" Galahad said
" Well I must disagree on one part because I doubt that man will ever love me…" Ebony said
with a frown
" Then you do not see what I see, Tristan eyes which usually look like there dead light up
when ever you around, He has laughed and smiled more with you hear then the last 15 years I
have known you" Galahad said
" Do you truly think so?" Ebony said
" Aye I do" Galahad said
Before anything else could be said, Dag asked Ebony for a dance which she graciously
accepted. They simply danced no words where passed between the friends because there
conversation went through there eyes. In his quiet simple way Dag showed that he agreed
with Galahad but still Ebony shook he head in disbelief. Finally once she had danced for what
seemed like forever she went back to her table to rest for a while. Her thoughts ran crazy as
she remembered the kiss she and Tristan shared before this party.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as Ebony had walked in the room everybody's eyes turned to her, including a silent
knight. He could barley contain his gasp of how beautiful he thought she was. The way the
dress hugged her perfect figure like a second skin. The way he eyes shinned like to emeralds in
the moon light. Tristan was glad he had sat at the very end or else he would have rambled like
an idiot at the site of this beautiful girl. No he knew that he couldn't call her a girl she had
never been a girl to him merely a women who he wanted nothing more then to… These
thoughts where impossible she was his brothers at arms younger sister. It would be like
breaking a code of trust. He watched as her eyes looked at the group of people. They stopped
on him and then quickly turned away. The hint of sadness must have been a figment of his
imagination or something he wish would be so! Tristan watched as Ebony danced with each
Knight and was slightly jealous as each man held her in their arms.
"Why don't you dance with her?" Galahad said as he sat down next to the silent knight
" What did you say" Tristan asked
" I said why don't you dance with Ebony" Galahad repeated himself
" I don't dance" Tristan answered sharply
" So you'll just glare at every man with in a 5 feet radius of her" Galahad said
" Ye…no what in the bloody hell are you talking about" Tristan said and the scout
uncharacesticlly turned red
" You love her and both Dag and I know it, now are you going to admit it to your self or make
both of you suffer!" Galahad exclaimed
"Your mad I have no feelings for that insolent child" Tristan said
"Then explain why your normally blank eyes light up every time she walks into the room"
Galahad said
" Your out of your mind" Tristan said walking out of the halls heading to the stables
He knew that Galahad was rite but he wouldn't let him know that and it frustrated because of
how much he wanted this women and knew he couldn't have her. He had to work off some
steam grabbing his bow and arrow he headed to the targets at the back of the stables. Tristan
shot round after round of arrow and his quiver was quickly running out. Grabbing the last
arrow a sharp pain ran up his hand with a cry he let go of the arrow. In his hand was a deep
gash which he had acquired from not paying attention and grabbing the head of the arrow.
With his hand bleeding he head back to the stables to grab a cloth to wrap it in. When he
got the he grabbed a shirt from his settle and started to rip it piece by piece but his hands
shook to much for him to wrapp it. Tristan was startled out of his trance when he felt a soft
hand touch his. He looked into a pair of green eyes and gave a quick yelp. Not saying
anything Ebony gently grabbed the ripped cloth out of Tristan's hand and then began to rap
it. As if in a trance Tristan watched as she wrapped his hand and then laid a kiss on the
wound. This made Tristan loose his self control he pulled the raven haired women to himself
crushing his lips on hers. Ebony wrapped her hands around Tristan's neck and gasped as his
hands begain to explore her body. The gasp pulled Tristan out of his trance and with horror he
jumped away from the women in his arms who in turn looked utterly confused.
" Why did you stop" Ebony asked
" Because it shouldn't have happened in the first place" Tristan said sharply
" And why not" Ebony said putting her hands on her hips
" Because this isn't rite" Tristan said
"I'm a knight your brother is mine at arms and besides I feel nothing for your except lust
nothing more" Tristan said with out emotion. He felt his heart break as he saw a tear fall for
Ebony eyes and knowing he caused it was killing him. Tristan knew this was how it had to be
though and this was how it was going to be. Ebony didn't even speak to him simply turned on
her heel and walked away.
" What's done is done" the scout murmured
