Disclaimer none of the characters are mine. They all belong to Tamora
Pierce. However, I own the plot and I like it because I find it
suspenseful. Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Midnight Fight
"Tobe, what are you doing here?" Neal asked with a yawn. "What time is it?"
"Midnight, Come now," the small boy, said as he grabbed Neal's hand in his trembling one. Now that Neal looked closer he could see that Tobe was paler than a ghost.
Neal stopped the boy and made Tobe face him. Kneeling down to look into Tobe's face Neal asked, "What's wrong Tobe? What's going on?"
Tears rolled down Tobe's cheeks as he said, "It's Kel, she's hurt a... a... assassins,"
Neal shocked into wakefulness, already having his breeches on, snatched up his shirt, boots, and sword. He and Tobe ran down the corridors until they finally came to Kel's door. Neal slightly ahead of Tobe threw open the door and ran into the room.
"Kel, Kel where are you?" Neal called anxiety in his voice. Neal ran through the suite of rooms to the bedchamber.
Tobe, now right behind Neal, pointed at the floor and said, "Look, there. Is that blood?"
"I think it is," Neal said as he walked into the room. They had seen about ten bodies of dead assassins out in the common rooms, but here they followed the red trail around the bed. They found two more bodies lying in a pool of blood.
Neal ran to the stiff forms lying on the cold ground. One of them was a gruff looking man who Neal pushed aside to see the other figure. Neal rolled the crumpled body over afraid of what he would find. He looked down and to his horror he found it was...Kel.
A/N This is my first fanfic that I have posted so please read and review and don't worry there will be more chapters to come
