Chapter 26

Rhian…

Tomy: Wait a second what about me and Steven? We don't even know what happened to Rachel…Not that I care. Would you please get me back in the story!

Author: Well you see…

Susan: Yeah and what about those people wondering about The twins in Carthak?

Rachel: Or me I just kinda dropped off the earth what's that about?

Author: fine, fine I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10 the closest to the number gets the next chapter ok?

Everyone: ok!

Tomy: 3

Susan: 7

Rachel: 5

Author: Alright Rachel wins, (a/n My dad, mom and sister picked the numbers for the characters) Now as I was saying…

Rhian grabbed Aleda's shoulder and woke her up then shoved her behind her to protect her from whoever the young man out side was.

Samara, who was better with people that you didn't know their rank, asked, "Who is asking, and where are we?".

:The more I see you work the more impressed I am Sam.:

:Thanks that means a lot.:

"You're in Tortal more specifically Dolphins Cove and I am Nickolas of Dolphins Cove"

"Well then I'm Samara and this is my friend Rhian and we're from the Copper Isles we were on our way to the capital when we got caught in a storm and ship wrecked."

"There was another group of people who have given that story recently they are up in the keep I shall take you there maybe you have friends there and in any case you shouldn't be out side all night it wouldn't be good for the child's health… who is the child anyway?"

:What should I say 'An? I can't tell him that she's Aly's daughter he would never believe that she had no guard for protection.:

:I'll answer this question.:

"She is the granddaughter of Alanna the Kings champion."

"Is she really? Then were is her protection?"

"We are her protection. We work for her mother and she asked us to make sure that she got home safely."

"That would make you…"

"Yes but we aren't here to spy."

"Well lets go then if the Lioness finds out her granddaughter got sick and I could have prevented it she will kill me and you will have to deal with Aly."

"Alright, I know I don't want to deal with Aly when she is mad and if she's anything like her mother I don't want to deal with her either."

Rhian nodded and picked up a very drowsy Aleda and carried her up to the keep with her.
