SO…you guys are lucky. I wasn't gonna update for another two weeks. But I had bunches and bunches of hours to do stuff.
Disclaimer: I don't own nothin'…sadly…
A cough came from the door…
Kel and Dom sprang apart. Kel turned to face the door. There in the doorway was Neal, Owen, Merric, Faleron, Seaver, and Esmond. Neal and Owen were the only ones who looked perfectly okay. Merric and Faleron were staring open mouthed, their eyes about to pop out of their heads. Seaver and Esmond both had their eyebrows raised and Esmond's eyes were wide. Kel put her hands on her hips.
"Were you enjoying that?" Kel demanded, her eyes narrowing. Neal nodded vigorously, and the others ducked their heads. "When did you get back?" Kel asked, quickly changing the subject.
"We got back five minutes ago actually," Merric answered. "And when did you two get together?" He said pointing to her and Dom. Kel walked over to the bed and sat down hard.
"That was my brilliant work," Neal cut in. Dom glared at his cousin before looking over at Kel. She was sitting on the bed with her head in her hands, her Yammani mask on. He quickly walked over and sat down next to her. Kel looked up at the shift of the bed. She smiled at Dom and took a deep breath.
"We aren't together exactly," Kel began. "I just kissed him for the first time this morning." "And why are we talking about my relationships anyway?"
"Well, because we just walked in on you two making out, and holding each other, and that is something you don't see Kel doing everyday." Neal said as if Kel was a small child.
"We weren't making out!" Kel said in a high voice, a small bush on her cheeks. "We were just kissing!"
Dom put an arm around her waist, startling her, and making her go stiff. Neal was the only one who seemed to notice. All of the others were to busy trying not to stare. "I can see you two are getting along fine and we'll just be going now," Neal said as he tried to usher the others out the door.
"So then why did you burst in to my room in the first place, if you are leaving so soon?" Dom asked as almost all of them were out the door.
"Well, we were looking for Kel," Owen replied before he got pushed though the door. The door slammed with an audiable crack, and one once again, Kel and Dom were alone. Kel relaxed into Dom's hold and leaned into his chest slightly. He kissed her forehead.
(((Three Weeks Later)))
Kel and Dom were still together. Their relationship had not progressed beyond kisses. Dom was very careful not to exceed the boundaries, and only Raoul, Third Company, and all of Kel's friends new about it. The residents of New Hope still hadn't found out yet.
The alarm sounded again, just as it had three weeks ago. Kel raced to her rooms, arming up, and making sure Tobe would be okay. While Dom did the same. She rode out onto the battlefield with the other knights and Third Company. They outnumbered the Scanrans greatly, and slammed the Scanrans to the edge of the forest. Kel was in a battle with a huge Scanran. He was nearly six feet tall, and twice the width of one man. Kel was blocking the swipes of his sword with the teak staff of her glaive. Even though he was strong, he was slow. She blocked his strikes with ease and saw her chance. The swung up and under his guard, slicing open his stomach and chest.
The battle was almost over. Kel only had to kill two men so far. She mostly sat on her horse, looking out over the battlefield, trying to spot trouble. She saw it. Dom was surrounded by five Scanrans all bearing broadswords. Kel raced to the rescue, killing three of the Scanrans with her glaive. Dom killed the other two. He turned to her flashed a charming smile, winked, and then galloped off towards his comrades. Kel's heart flipped and she shook her head.
Again Kel was attacked. The Scanran was even larger than the first one. (If that was possible.) He attacked Kel with such animosity it scared Kel. But she didn't falter. She blocked strike after strike, not faltering. Her opponent was the same. Kel didn't notice that he was backing her into the forest, or that Dom was calling her name and searching for her, worried. Kel finally had an advantage. She was the one attacking now. She broke through his guard and thrust her glaive deep into his chest, killing him.
Kel wiped the sweat off her face and looked around. She was deep into the forest and none of it looked familiar. She found the way she and the Scanran had come and started walking that way.
Kel eventually got back to New Hope. It had taken her an hour to get back because of the fact that she was exhausted, and she had to take frequent breaks. She also almost fell into a certain hole again.
Kel walked slowly up to the gates of New Hope. She heard a shout from above and the gate swung open. Fifteen people rushed out to greet her. But once they saw the condition she was in, they didn't envelop her in hugs. Raoul, Neal, and Dom carried her into New Hope, despite her protests. They set her down by the flagpole and gave her a water flask. Once she had caught her breath, she realized that almost all of the refugees had encircled her, all talking at once. But before she could do anything…
