A/N: Okay, so, I've got this going and liek two other stories and I was like: "I have another really awesome idea!". So, if I don't get this other idea out of my head, I will go crazy. Anyways, totally off subject, I've got something that I've never done in my entire life to do: SHOUTOUTS!
Fauna Greywolf: Thanks, this is not really going to be a keldom, I'm actually going to ruin everything that way. I'll explain. Everybody these days makes keldoms, right? So, I've had this idea in my head for weeks and I decided to make it where Kel isn't with Dom, or Neal, or anyone else for that matter. That's also what I mean when I said "Don't get mad when I ruin everything.", that I'm going to ruin everything, but there's also another little twist, I think.
Pink Squishy Llama: If you've read the other shoutouts, you'll realize what I meant by 'ruining everything'. Basically, I'm going to make Kel a lonely, husbandless creature. Harsh, huh? Haha, yeah, I say "food" all the time, too. That's why I put it in there. Actually, I kind of got angry at this story and just wanted to post it.
Queen Tigeress: You weren't the one bugging me, were you? And You didn't ask to be put in. Matt told me to. I had to. Anyways, just don't beat me up about the story if you don't like it.
Drop You Oboe: I know! When I wrote it, I thought it was short, but then when I posted it, it wasn't very short. Thank you, thank you. I hope this story goes over well.
SarahE7191: Well, I can't exactly give away the whole plot, now, can I? You'll just have to read and see!
strawbeby: I know! It does seem like an agenda, but I was getting frustrated and just wanted to get the first chapter over with. You like Kel? Is she your favorite? I'm not bringing in any new characters, and I'm SO glad you like my story. I'm pretty sure it's never been done before, or, at least I hope so. Don't worry, I've got a LOT of creativity up my sleeve, I think. I will try to do my best at fixing up how bad it is right now... thanks for the review!
AugureyCry: Thanks so much for the review! I hope you enjoy this next chapter!
Thayet1231: Haha, yes, I was really getting angry at it, so I stopped and I made it a short chapter. Thanks and more is coming right now! Ha, that's kind of obvious...
tortallanrider: Oh, don't worry, Erin, it gets way better! I think it does. Wait, yes it does. And, I know, I know, don't beat me up too much about it being so boring and bad. I didn't know what else to do! And, as I've said SO many times, I was frustrated with the chapter and just said MEH and posted it. It does get really good and I might ruin everything, but who knows? This could be what really happens to Kel. Ha.
Whoa, thanks everybody for the AWESOME reviews! So many, so many! Wow, I didn't expect that! That's it for this chapter, I think. Keep on reading, folks! (Ew, I just said folks!)

Kel walked out into the most wanted morning sun, awaiting the rays that hit her face and made her feel refreshed, but instead, she saw rain clouds and mist, all through Giantkiller. She scowled and looked around. People were out and about, despite the awful weather, working and building and training. It started to sprinle rain, and she winced, getting slightly wet in just her breeches and tunic. She ran back inside her tent to get a coat on.
It was getting cold out today, even if it was supposed to be warming up, and when she came back outside, a cold, wet wind blew on her face and blew her hair out of her eyes. She heard yelling and saw a fight going on between two workers. She walked over, huddling inside her coat.
"Men, calm down, it's just a broken tool. Take it to the blacksmith's."
"It was 'is fault!" One of the men said.
"What's it t'you, Girl?"
"That's Lady Knight Keladry to you. Now, do as you're told before you get into trouble."
"I don't have to listen t'you!" Said the same, ignorant man.
"Imaden, you'd better stop't now, or we'll both gets in horse dung."
"Stuff't, Girdane, this's none a your business."
"Isn't it, what's your name, Imaden? He was here too." Kel reasoned, making her voice calm and herself collected.
"No'ts not, lousy filth, go on wit'ya!"
"I'm not going anywhere. Either you listen or I'll have to report you." She said coolly.
"You would'na dare!" He said, throwing his hands in the air. Kel put her hands on her hips.
"Oh, you know I would." She said. He snarled at her and it started to downpour. Giving her a look as cold as ice, they stood in the rain for ten more seconds. They stared into each others eyes, and as if she was willing him to do it in her mind, he gave in, turned around and walked to the blacksmith's. The other man just shrugged, and got back to work in the pouring rain.
"Nice." A girl stood behind her, soaked from the rain as she was, and waved her hand in a motion as if to silently say 'come on'. Kel followed the blond haired woman into a tent and watched her dry off. Kel didn't bother. She had to be off to breakfast soon anyways. "You handled that well." The woman said, shaking her wet curls out.
"Well, I do know how to handle a working man. I've done it so many times before."
"You're Lady Keladry, aren't you?"
"Yes, why?" Kel asked suspiciously.
"I'm one of you're new clerks, Mandi." Mandi said, sticking out her hand.
"Nice to meet you." Kel shook her extended hand and smiled. If this was one of her new clerks, she'd be needing to know her name. "Oh, sorry to rush out on you, but the bell for lunch went a few minutes ago. I'd better get down there."
"Sure, yes. I'll see you in a couple of days then, Lady Keladry."
"Oh, and, it's Kel. Just call me Kel." She rushed out of the tent back into the horrid weather, and ran to the mess hall. She made it just in time for breakfast which was hot porridge and bread. She was relieved that it would warm up her body at least a little bit.
"Kel, way to wolf down breakfast. Calm down, slow down and relax." Prosper told her.
"Why are you in such a rush anyways, Kel?" Owen asked.
"No reason. I'm just hungry, and cold." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Hey, has anyone seen Dom?" Faleron announced.
"No, I haven't even seen him since this morning when he woke up. In fact, he wasn't even in bed when I woke up." Seaver told them.
"That's strange," Kel said, pondering where he was. "I saw him last night and he was at supper."
"Lets just hope he hasn't gotten himself into trouble." Owen said at last.
When breakfast was over, Kel and Tobe went out into the now sunny, wet outdoors. It was nice to have the sun beating down on her once again. She was walking back to her tent when she saw Dom lying on the ground. It looked like he was dozing. She thought she would bring him back to reality.
"Tobe, can you go back to the tent with my coat? I'd rather not wear it when it's going to get warmer."
"Sure, Kel." He ran off with her coat, and she walked up to Dom, who hadn't budged since she had seen him last.
"Dom, it's not smart to be dozing off on the wet ground-"
"Kel, thank goodness you're here." He looked strained as he tried to sit up. Kel assisted him, and he winced.
"What happened?" She asked, trying to get the worry out of her voice.
"I was on that ladder, and I fell, and that's the last thing I remember. Then I woke up on the ground, and I couldn't get up. I think I broke my arm or something." She looked around, but it seemed that everyone was still at breakfast or lounging around their tents.
"That's why you weren't at breakfast. And I thought you were dozing..." He laughed weakly. "It doesn't seem like anyone else is around, so, I'm just going to wait until Tobe comes back."
"Why don't you go? I'll be fine." He persuaded. She glared at him.
"Do you think I'm leaving you here?" When he shook his head with a grin, she continued. "Anyways, after he comes, we'll get you to the infirmary."
"Oh no, not that dreadful place."
"Oh yes." She smiled and they sat awkwardly in silence for a few minutes. "Tobe, over here!" Kel called. He ran over quickly. "I need you to get one of the healers in the infirmary, and quick." Tobe nodded.
"What happened?" He asked worriedly.
"Dom thinks he broke his arm. Now, please hurry!" She said as he ran off. Kel straigtened Dom out and tried to pick him up and drag him over to somewhere more comfortable, but she couldn't do it without hurting him. Soon, Tobe came with two of the healers, and they took Dom back to the infirmary. Kel sighed and walked back to her tent with Tobe. It was going to be a long two days.
