In the land of Farnolk lived a brave young hero named Phil Diffy. He was a knight. A brave and respected knight. A knight who lacked someone to love. Sure, with his reputation he could have any woman he wanted but he hadn't found the right one. One afternoon he was practicing with his best friend Larry II whom he called Lars. Phil was now on his Horse heading towards Lars with his jousting stick in his hand. Concentration and focus shown on his face as he got closer and closer and finally... He was hit off his horse and he fell to the ground hard and he rolled on the dirt and stopped on his face. He got up slowly as Lars quickly rushed over to him. "Phil are you okay?" Lars said picking up Phil's hat that fell on the ground while he rolled. "Yeah." He said as he dusted himself and took the hat away from Lars. "That was a hard fall you had there." Lars said as he grinned. "Well. If you're as good a knight as I am, you're going to fall sometimes." Phil countered as he picked up his jousting stick and made his way to the horse. Lars followed him. "Hey. How was your evening affair with Jocelyn last night?" Lars asked as Phil and him lead the horses to their stables. Phil scoffed and said nothing. "That Bad?". Lars said. Phil nodded and tied the ropes around the horse's leg and to the stable and did the same thing for Lars' horse. He then dropped his jousting stick and headed out of the stable to his manor. They walked silently for a minute until Phil said "Why is it that my parents are always trying to pair me up with uptight, snooty, girls that don't know the first thing about a relationship?" Lars just shrugged and asked "What happened after the Evening affair?" Phil rolled his eyes and said "Well let's just say i haven't seen such an ugly girl such as Jocelyn." Lars laughed at the joke. They'd been walking for about 45 minutes until they came across the town they lived in. Women walked around with little kids tugging at their dresses. While men laughed at the sight. Phil and Lars opened up the Town gate and the smell of Fresh baked Meat pies lingered in the loose air and entered their noses. Young women would come up to Phil and offer themselves to him and give him food and grapes in his mouth but Phil wouldn't give in to it. He had no interest in them. One tall red head came up to him. She was known as Myra. Phil hated her but she liked him and she would try everything to be with him. "Hello Phillip! How was your jousting practice?" she said giving him her infamous grin that was known to make any guy fall for her but not Phil. "Myra. How did you know i had jousting practice?" Myra just smiled and said "I have my ways." and pranced away winking at Phil as she did. A short brown haired guy known as jack walked up to him. "Phil! Lars! Have you seen the new chick that moved in today." Jack said as he flipped up his glasses. Phil and Lars looked at him in confusion and both said "No." Jack got impatient and stood next to Phil as he pointed in front of him and said "There she is." Phil looked at where he was pointing and all he could see was a horse carriage and some middle aged women getting out. But his eyes widened as a young blond girl evolved out of the carriage. She looked to be about 18. Just like him. He looked on with amazement as the girl then leaned down and kissed one of the middle aged women that stood in front of her on the cheek. Phil assumed that was her mom. The Blond was absolutely gorgeous and very sophisticated looking. And to Phil's surprise, She then finally glanced around her surroundings. Her eyes went to the meat pie stand, then to the fruit stand, then to the gate that Phil and his friends stood in front of and then her eyes finally went to Phil. Their eyes locked in a second and they couldn't keep their eyes off each other. Her green eyes mixed with his brown eyes. Lars tousled Phil at the same time the blond girl's mom tousled her. They eyes drifted apart as they both looked to see what took them away from the other's eyes. "Phil. Are you OK? I've been talking to you for the past minute" "Yeah I'm OK . Come on lets go back and wash up for the feast." And with that they took off. The blond girl's mom had just finished talking to her and she desperately glanced back to see if the boy was still there. He wasn't. She searched all around the place until she finally saw him stare at her and she shyly grinned . He gave her a rather goofy grin and walked away with two other boys whom she figured out to be his friends. She was still smiling after he was gone and she finally got into the carriage to go to her new home. Once inside her mother asked "So? How do you like the place so far?""She smiled and said "I love it." and stared ahead of her as the carriage went on its way.
NEXT CHAPTER THEY MEET!
The blond girl got out of the carriage. She Quickly looked up to the manor that she would be living in permanently. A gray haired man quickly came out and introduced himself."I am Kamron. But you miss." he said as he pointed to the blond girl. "Shall call me Ron". He bowed and descended down the stairs to help them with their bags. The blond girl noticed a rather large manor down the street. It was bigger too. She had to know who lived there. Probably a king or a knight. She instantly turned to her mother as her aunt flirted with Ron. "Mother, is it possible if i take a look around. I promise I'll be back in time for dinner." she said. "Fine but at dinner time you better be here." her mom agreed. "Thanks mum." Her mother then descended up the stairs and closing the door behind her. The blond girl then started her journey to the large Manor. She just had to know who lived there. She was very curious. She'd been walking for 10 minutes until she came to the front of the Manor. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. There were rather tall stairs that lined the front of the manor. Symbols and statues stood in place as water from the fountains spurted. The manor was tall and white with a plush Garden in the back. Then she spotted it. A statue of a Knight without his helmet. He was on a white horse as the horse galloped. Courage and determination shown on his face as he held a jousting stick in his other hand. He was very handsome, she noticed. He looked vaguely familiar. Like she'd seen him before. Then below the statue was an engraving. It read "Phil Diffy of Farnolk. The greatest knight in all the land and never defeated. This is his statue. Enjoy" She smiled at that. So this manor belonged to a knight. A Very handsome knight at that fact. And next to it was another statue of him as a sword fighter. He had the sword pointed downwards and he seemed to stare at her. His hair flowing in the air (A little gay i know) and she then noticed a little beauty mark above his lips. She looked down to see another engraving. It said "Phil Diffy is a man of multiple talents. Are you impressed?" She laughed at that one. A young girl who looked to be about 19 whom she assumed was the maid came out with a watering bucket in hand. She spotted the blond girl and quickly rushed over to her and said "Miss? Is something the matter. Can i help in any way?" The blond grinned. She must have thought she was a member of the manor. "No nothing's the matter. But you can help me. Where can i find this Phil Diffy of Farnolk." the blond girl said as she pointed to the statue. The maid said "Oh. You just missed him he went to the Town Feast in honor of him. Everyone's invited. But i chose not to go. He even invited me as a date but i said no." She looked regretful. But she was very pretty. She had long brown hair, blue eyes and a beauty mark next to her nose. She wore a rather ugly dress but other than that she was very pretty. Why wouldn't she want to go. The blond girl then quickly chirped up "Hey. Did you say that everyone was invited?" The maid nodded. "That means i can go?" The maid nodded yet again. "That means you can go." The maid nodded again. But hesitantly this time.
"So what are you waiting for? Go get dressed!" the blond girl said. The maid had a look of surprise and uncertainty. "No. I cannot. You can but surely not I" The blond girl smirked and said "Come on. You look very pretty and don't you want to impress Phil Diffy? Aren't you interested in him?" The maid then said "No. I am more interested in his friend Lars." The blond girl grinned and said "well don't you want to impress Lars?" The maid then smiled and nodded and said "Yes. Let's go get ready!" The girl was about to run to her house to get ready but the maid stopped her and asked "Don't you want to borrow one of my clothes. I'll invite you in." The girl agreed and they both ran inside the manor. Once inside, the smell of biscuits and chicken lingered in the air. The inside was huge and magnificent. She stared in awe. The maid saw her looking and said "It's beautiful isn't it?" The girl turned and said "Yes." Then she followed the maid up the stairs to put on a dress and some makeup. "By the way, I'm Cherise what's yours?" said the maid. The girl then answered and said "Oh, I'm Keely. Keely Teslow." "What a nice name." Cherise answered as she tried on a dress. "Thanks Yours is good too." Keely said as she put on a corsage.
At the Fair, Phil was having a ball. He laughed and danced and ate till his Heart almost gave out. Music was playing as beautiful women danced and put on a performance. He was amused. It was actually a good dance. He couldn't seem to keep his mind off that girl that he had seen earlier. He wanted to meet her again and find out what her name was and how she was. He had already given his speech and it was now party time. Then out of the blue, he spotted his maid Cherise. He quickly rushed over to her and hugged her. Glad that she came but still sad that the girl he had seen earlier didn't. Cherise looked very beautiful. Phil had never seen her before like this. Her cheeks were blushed and everything was sparkling. "Cherise, you look wonderful." Phil said. "Thank you." she said as she blushed but the redness couldn't be seen. "I thought you said you weren't coming!" he yelled over the loud music. "Yes Well. Someone changed my Mind!" she yelled back and she then dragged Keely out of a group of guys who were circling her. The music died down and they didn't have to yell anymore. "Phil this is Keely. She's new in this town and seeing as you are well-known with this town i just thought you might want to show her around." Cherise said and winked at Phil and made her way through the crowd to talk to Lars. Phil looked at Keely. She looked so familiar. Then it hit hit him. Keely was the girl he saw that afternoon at the gate. She looked even better now. He was known to rub the back of his neck when he was shy so he got to rubbing. Finally she spoke up "So, You're a knight?" Phil quickly jerked his head up and stopped rubbing his neck. "Yes. Yes I am." Another silence followed.
Keely was less shy than him so she said "How's the Festival so far?" Phil looked up again and quickly answered "It's magnificent. Ve-very Jovial" Keely chuckled at his nervousness. She liked him already.
Phil finally said "Would you be so kind as to join me at the table?" Keely grinned and said "Yes i would like that." She held out her hand as Phil took it and led her towards the table. Him behind her. He led her to a crowded and overstuffed table where everyone was eating and drinking champagne or they were talking. He pulled out a chair and she sat down and Phil then sat next to her. He looked on as she looked around at the unfamiliar faces. He could see that she wasn't comfortable so he quickly stood up and called everyone's attention. Everyone looked up at him. "Everyone! I would like to introduce you to one of my Newest Friends!" he then pointed at Keely. "Keely Teslow!" Everyone was silent for a second then they burst out in applause. Everyone except Myra. Keely grinned and chuckled and Phil then sat down and put one arm around Keely's back. She looked at his arm around her and blushed. He looked at her and smiled. She saw her favorite dish and she quickly started eating it. Pieces of meat landed on Phil's face as he looked on laughing. Lars and Cherise came up to Phil and Keely. "Hey Phil"Lars said. "Hey Lars." Phil answered back. He turned around to Keely who had stopped eating and said "Keely this is Lars and i believe you've already met Cherise." Keely winked at Cherise and shook Lars hand. "If you want us we'll be in the ballroom." said Lars after shaking Keely's hand and went out. "Do you want to dance?" Phil asked Keely. She quickly nodded as Phil took her hand and quickly led her to the ballroom. Once inside, A tango song came on and Phil quickly took her hand in his and pulled her close to him so that their faces were only centimeters apart. Then he quickly twirled her around multiple of times and stopped her. By now everyone was watching them. He then took her hand in his and moved left to right and he dipped her and winked at her. He then brought her up and they moved to the rhythm of the song looking left and right. They did a variety of moves and towards the end of the song he twirled her around and dipped her when the song ended. Everyone laughed and applauded. Keely was astonished. She didn't even know she had those moves. Neither did Phil. He then put her up from the dip and bowed while holding her hand. She bowed too. She was smiling. This was the best day of her life.
The Festival had ended and everyone had gone home. Phil and Keely were outside his manor on the stairs talking and laughing. "Those were really nice moves." Phil said to Keely. "Yeah. I never even knew that i could dance like that." Keely said. "Yeah" They stared at each other for a while until Keely said "Well i should be going." A little disappointed, Phil said "Yeah." She then asked "Hey. Do you know what the time is." He looked at the sky and said "Looks to be about 8:00." Keely gasped and said "I have to get home! Oh goodness my mom must be boiling Mad." She quickly got up and started to run down the street. Phil called after her "Wait! When can i see you again!" She turned around and said "Tomorrow! Meet me at the Fruit stand!" and she continued running. Phil watched as she went to her manor, looked back at him, smiled and entered the door to the house. He smiled and said to himself "She's Perfect." He then went up the stairs to eat his dinner. When he got in he saw that Cherise was in her maid clothes and she was mopping the floor. His butler Lawrence had set up food for him in his dining room. He told Lawrence to save the food that he wasn't hungry and he went up the stairs. He passed Cherise's room and as he did he spotted a dress that wasn't Cherise's. He walked in and picked it up. He remembered that morning at the gate. SHE was wearing this dress. But what was it doing here? He remembered Cherise saying that Keely had changed with her in her room. He smiled because now he had a reason to see her again. He took the dress in his hand and ran down the stairs and out the front door to Keely's house. Glad that he was going to see her again.
"Keely Ann Teslow! How Dare You Deny my Orders! I told you to come back before dinner and you went to a Festival instead! This is the First Time you've even seen inside your own House!" Keely's mother Bellowed. Keely was frightened. She had never seen her mother like this. She tried her best to explain that she lost track of time but her mother interrupted by saying "Time? You lost Track of Time! What is Time! Time is Fake! Time's Not Real! Time is not a Person! You cannot lose Track of Time!" That made sense in a very odd way. "Kamron spent all day making the food and you weren't even there to eat it! This is last time this is happening.! Do you hear me!" her mom said. Keely nodded and said "Yes" Her mom then ascended up the stairs to her room. Keely slumped down on the stairs. And held her head in her hands. If her mom got mad over this, how would she react when she meets the reason why she couldn't make it. All because of a cute, handsome knight named
There was a knock on the door. Keely got scared. Who could it be. She got up from the stairs and made her way to the door. She opened it and there stood "Phil!" He gave her a goofy grin. She dragged him inside the house and closed the door. "What are you doing here?... Not that i don't want you here."
she said quickly. He held up her old dress. "You forgot this at my manor?" he said. She blushed. "Oh. I guess i forgot it."" she said and she gently took it. A long silence followed until Phil said "Nice house. I like the atmosphere." He walked over to her Den and took a seat on her chair and patted a space next to him. She dropped her dress and walked over and sat with him. Not so close. He moved a bit closer and so did she. "So..." Phil started. "So..." Keely said. They looked at each other for a while. They both leaned in. Their lips were merely 4 centimeters apart when her mom came in and gasped at the sight. They quickly moved away from one another. "Well... I see someone met someone new." her mom said. Keely blushed bright red and looked away. Phil smiled and stood up and introduced himself. "Hello Mrs. Teslow I'm Sir Diffy. But please call me Phil Diffy or Phil." he said as he shook her hand. "Well. I'm Mandy Teslow. Keely's mom." her mom said as she looked at Keely. "How did you two meet?" Phil looked at Keely who shrank away in embarrassment. He then looked back at her mom and said "We met at a festival. It was a festival for me actually." Her mom then said "Wait a minute. You went to HIS Festival." Phil noticed the anger in her voice and stood up for Keely and said "Ma'am don't blame this on Keely. I invited her. I wanted her to come. We talked on my stairs and i didn't know she had to go back home at 8:00. I'm sorry. I'll show myself out " He then walked out of the Den and at the door he turned around to see Keely stare at him with a look in her eyes that he couldn't define. He then said "Um Keely, I'll meet you at the Fruit Stand tomorrow OK?" He smiled a weak smile, opened the door and stepped out closing the door behind him. Keely then turned to her mom and gave her an angry look and dashed up the stairs to her room.
Out in the horizon the sun came up and shone on Phil's face. He had fallen asleep on the stairs and he had no idea how he got there. He then remembered what had happened last night. He had to meet her at the Fruit Stand. That is, if her mom lets her come. He got up and ran inside the manor to take a bath. After he finished he put on a dark shirt and knickers with his sword in one end of the knickers and he wore boots, fixed his hair and headed out the door towards Keely's Manor.
Keely looked at herself in the mirror once again. She had on a brownish vest, white tunic with a long frilly skirt and a flower in her hair and some shoes that she had hidden inside her closet. She looked good. She just hoped HE thought she looked good. It was just a friendly walk around town. Wasn't it? Nothing more. Yet she wished it was something more. She sighed and plopped down on her bed. Two minutes later someone knocked on her door. She went downstairs. She remembered that her mom, Kamron and her aunt had gone somewhere to get supplies. So she had the whole manor to herself. She finally reached the door and opened it and there stood Phil looking more dashing than the night before. He held out a tulip and said "I got it from my garden. Thought that you might like it." And he handed it to her and she took it and said. "Thank you. Tulips are my favorite flowers." She pointed to the one in her hair and smiled. She then followed him outside and closed the door.
Phil and Keely were having so much fun. Phil had bought her a meat pie and they had shared in the comfort of a shaded area under a tree where they learned a little about each other. He had taken her to a town play. He took her to the ballroom to dance and they did the tango and the waltz and every other dance they could think of. He was now taking her to the place where he did his jousting practice the day he met her. As they walked through the tall leaves Phil told her the story of his first battle. "And i got hit off my horse a lot of times. You know, You're not so good the first time of trying anything new. Am i right?" he said. He didn't notice that Keely hadn't been listening to anything he said. She just stared at him with a very weird look in her eyes. He then noticed and said "Are you alright?" She was jerked out of her thoughts at the sound of his voice and said "Yes. I'm fine." He smiled. And they walked in silence until he reached the stable and the field that he and Lars practiced that day. She looked at the place and said "This is were you practice?" He nodded. "Wow! It's wonderful." she said again. And it really was. Green acres of land stretched for miles and miles. She saw horses and cats and dogs all playing in a fenced field nearby. She laughed at that sight. She didn't notice the tall red-head that had suddenly appeared from the depths of the stable. Phil was startled and he squeezed Keely's hand causing her to turn around and see the red-head. "Myra. What are you doing here?" he said as he moved closer to Keely. "I followed you and that skank around town. You didn't see me, but i saw you. The play, the tree, and finally here. Now explain this to me Philip. What are you doing here with HER?" Myra answered and pointed to Keely. Phil stepped closer to Keely and said "Keely is one of my newest best friends." He then stepped away from Keely, much to her displeasure, and stepped closer to Myra and said "And i don't recall you being my mother so i don't think i owe you an explanation as to why i am here with Keely!" Myra shrunk back a little as he said "Now Get Out Of My Stable And Out Of My Life!" When she didn't move, he came a little closer and said "NOW!" She looked at him for a second and started to walk away. She then looked at Keely and mouthed 'you'll pay' and ran away down the field toward the town.
Keely looked at Phil in astonishment. She didn't know he could be like that. But still, she liked how he dealt with the red-head whom he called Myra. He looked at her with her a half smile and said "Do you want a horse ride?" She laughed and followed him to the stable where he knelt down, took out his sword and cut the rope that held the horses to the stable. He put his sword back and led one of the horses to Keely. "This," he said as he pointed to the white horse. "is Mystery." The horse neighed as if to say 'hi' as Phil rubbed her head. "And i think she likes you" he said to Keely and gave her the reins. She took it and petted the horse on her head. It was beautiful. She then put her leg on one side of the horse and tried to climb on the back of the horse but she fell off and hit the ground hard. Phil ran over to her and said "Are you alright?" she nodded half-heartedly as Phil helped her up. He then said "looks like you need some help getting on the horse." She then looked at him as she dusted herself off and said "Yes it does and will you help me?". Before she finished saying what she said, Phil had already held her waist. She could see him blush as he carried her and set her on the horse. She then said "Thank you." He answered with "You're very welcome" and he walked back to his horse, got on and said "Giddyyap!" and with that the horse took off. She then said "Giddyap!" and Mystery trotted up to Phil's horse whom he named Braveheart. They then ran together and all around the field and raced all day long.
While Mystery and Braveheart and Phil and Keely flirted with each other in a distant Field, Keely's mom paced the floor of the den wondering where she is. They had come back from buying the food as soon as Keely walked the opposite way with Phil. Kamron was done cooking and was now watching Mrs. Teslow pace the floor while Keely's aunt was eating. "Where could she be? After what i said to her yesterday, she still disobeyed me. I've never felt so betrayed in all my life. Why, if i see her i'll just" Kamron quickly interrupted by saying "Please calm down madam. I'm sure before you know it she'll come knocking on the door. Just wait." Just as he finished saying that, a knock was heard on the door. Keely's aunt came out of the dining room and they all went to open the door. Kamron opened it and everything went black. Let's just say who they saw at the door was not Keely.
Phil and Keely were walking to her house after 8 long hours of fun "Wow, that was so funl. I enjoyed it." Keely said. They reached to her doorstep when Phil said "Glad you liked it." (A/N OK by now in a modern time movie, they'd kiss and Phil would be invited into her house to make out but haha i'm not doing it,) they stared into each other's eyes for a minute. They both leaned in and were about to Kiss when Keely remembered that she hadn't told her mom that she didn't go out with Phil. She quickly moved away and Phil did the same. He was embarrassed a bit. Then suddenly Phil said "Well, i'm going to go home now. Um, if you need anything, you know where i live." She smiled as he winked at her, went down the stairs and started to jog towards his manor. She bit her lip as she watched him go in and she wished she did kiss him. She sighed heavily and opened her door. She dropped her purse on the floor and called for her mom. Nothing. They probably hadn't come home yet. She shrugged and went up the stairs to her room. As she entered, she saw a note on her bed. She went to the note and picked it up. It read
Dearest Keely,
If you've guessed by now, you will notice that your mom, your aunt and your butler aren't here. Since i know that you're a stupid blond I'll explain it slowly. I...kidnapped...your...family...and...your...butler...! There. Do you get it now? By the time you get this note, i would have already traveled far, far, far away. If you want your family back, only one thing will be good for you and that is to never go near Phil again. He's mine. Get it? Mine! Stay away. Or else your family and your butler, will be on a one way ticket to bloody hell!
sincerely,
Myra
Keely gasped as she read the note. She took it in her hand and quickly ran down the stairs and out the door towards Phil's manor. She knocked on the door as soon as she got there and Cherise opened the door. "Keely! What are you doing here?" "I need to see Phil quickly." Keely answered. Cherise then said "OK hold on. I'll go get him." and with that she dashed up the stairs.
Phil lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling as Cherise his maid came in. She said "Um, master..." Before she could finish Phil looked up and said "Cherise. You know you can call me Phil. So please call me that." She smirked and said "Okay fine. Just thought you would want to know that Keely is downstairs for you.." Phil quickly shot up and said "Keely!" Cherise nodded and he smiled and ran out of his room and down the stairs. As he reached the bottom of the stairs he could see Keely. He ran and hugged her and she hugged back sniffing in his cologne. She quickly pulled away as she remembered why she was there. She looked up at him and said "Phil i need your help!" He looked at her with concern on his face and asked "Why? What happened?" She stepped into the house and Phil closed the door. She reached into her vest pocket and pulled out the note. She handed it to him and he read it and gasped at the end. He looked up from the note and a look of anger crossed his face. "MYRA." he said low and angrily through gritted teeth. Keely nodded and said "Yes, Myra Phil and i need your help to find my family and my butler. Will you help me?" Phil looked at her with sadness in his eyes , then he looked back at the note. He finally said "Sorry, i cannot help you." Her heart shattered at these words. "You what? You can't help me? Why not?" she demanded as she stood up from the seat she had taken. Phil then stood up and said "Well, i have a lot of things to do. I have a practice coming up and a battle after that and i just can't " Keely interrupted by saying "Can't what. Can't help a new girl that came to the town looking for friends? Can't help a girl that thought you liked her?" "i do like you it's just that i have to worry about my self too." he said. She glared at him for a long while. She suddenly then grabbed the note and raced out of the den with Phil behind her. "Wait! Keely, just listen to me please?" Phil said when she stopped at the door. "No. I've already listened to you too much. I thought you liked me but i see again that i was wrong. My family is in danger and I'm not going to stand around and wait for you." she said and with that Keely stepped out the door slamming it behind her. Phil sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He didn't know what to do. He loved Keely with all his heart. More than he had ever loved any woman. But he also loved his country. He went back to the den and sat down. Cherise, who had heard the whole fight, silently creeped into the den and sat down beside Phil who had his head in his hands. They stayed there like that for a while until Cherise said "You know, i thought you liked her too." He looked up to Cherise who was now staring at him. He sighed and said "I do like her but" Cherise interrupted again by saying"but what? You have a battle coming up and blah blah blah. Who cares? I certainly don't. And i know you don't either. But i know you care about Keely. And if you are going to let her go off on a very dangerous journey all by herself, then you really don't love her." She then stood up and was about to leave when Phil stood up and grabbed her arm and said "Cherise. Tell the county that I'm sorry." It took her a second to get what he had said and when she did, she smiled and patted him on his broad shoulders and said "Good luck Phil" and she headed out of the den. Phil then ran upstairs to change into more adventurous clothes. Because after all, he was going on a very big adventure.
Keely walked alone to her house. Phil hadn't agreed to help her. And to think she loved him. She sat on the stairs with her head in her hands sobbing gently. Now what was she going to do? Her family was in danger and she was new and she didn't know anyone or anywhere else in this town except for, Phil, Cherise and the jousting field. She sighed a heavy sigh. She just didn't know what to do. Suddenly she heard a sound. A sound of running shoes. She looked up to find what the cause of the sound was. And there in the distance, she saw a boy. No a man. Running towards her. What did he want? Was he one of Myra's fiends sent to capture her? She then heard something that sounded like her name. "Keely!" the man yelled. How did he know her name? The boy came closer and closer until she could finally see who it was. She jumped up as he called her name again "Keely!" It was Phil. He ran over to her and hugged her fully. She hugged back. She then pulled away from the hug and asked "Phil? What are you doing here?I thought you said you weren't coming." she said with a hint of anger in her voice. He then smiled a weak smile and said "Why would i let you go by yourself? After all, we're friends and Friends don't let friends wander helplessly on the streets. I'm gonna help you find your family if it's the last thing i do." She let the words seep into her mind then she realized what he said. He was going to help her! "Thanks Phil!." she said and she hugged him again. He smiled and held on to her. Then rain started to fall. It came slowly at first but got harder as they hugged more. This went on for about a minute then they pulled apart and a huge smile formed on both their faces. "Well what are we waiting for!" he yelled over the pouring rain. "Your family's not going to wait for us are they?" She laughed and kissed him on his cheek and took his hand and they started running towards the town. Phil rubbed his cheek as she dragged him. He looked at her and chuckled.
From Phil's Manor, Cherise watched as they hugged and ran away towards the town. She smiled and shook her head saying "Kids. Always have a hard time admitting their love for each other." She then closed the curtain and wondered if she could ever admit her love towards Lars. (A/N HA HA)
Phil quietly opened the Town gate. He and Keely crept silently out of it and closed it. Then they heard a guard say "You Two!" They turned around to face one of the guards named Jonathan. He was big and Burly with a sword in his left hand pointing it at Keely. Phil quickly answered "Jonathan, Nice to see you again. You see, We have to go somewhere. And" Jonathan interrupted by saying "You again" he pointed to Phil."I've seen you before. Aren't you that Knight?" Phil smiled proudly and said "Why yes! Yes i am. So will you let us through?" The guard thought for a minute and put the sword at Phil's chest ,that Keely just noticed was broad, and said "No!" Phil just looked at the sword at his chest and chuckled. He rolled his eyes as he took out his sword and held it at Jonathan's chest. "I'm sorry. I think i heard you wrong." he simply said. "No. you didn't. You cannot pass." Phil then took his sword off his chest and said "Well, that sounds like a challenge" Keely gasped as he then took the end of the sword and hit it on the back of Jonathan's head. Jonathan gasped and fell flat on his face causing a last thud as he fell. Phil put his sword back, leaned down and picked up Jonathan's sword. He shook it and it made a wobbly sound. Phil scoffed and dropped it. "What a weak sword." he said as he got up and took Keely's hand and they kept on walking through the tall grass. They kept on walking until they reached the stable where Phil kept his Horses. He opened the stable and gasped when he saw that his horses weren't there. "MYRA" he said again through gritted teeth. Keely walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. That she noticed was wide, and said "That Myra girl is getting to be very annoying"
Phil only sighed and walked out of the stable with Keely's hands on his back.
