Hey thanks for all of the reviews. I am not sure about romance, if you want me to put some in then post a review with who and any ideas of how they should get together. I will tell you that in later chapters Dom does come in. Also since some of you are asking about Kel's family aome are in Tortall and Some are in the Islands. Her parnets were in the Yamani Islands when Kel ran away so they of course know where she is. And I promise the next chapter will be longer I have just been really busy with tests and school stuff. I am thinking of making another Kel kicked out story after this one since those are the ones that you want so if you have any ideas tell me. Also i know that this is kind of unrealistic but whatever I hope you enjoy it.


Come on Kel concentrate I thought. Today we were doing jousting in training and I was the last one to go up. Since I was the only Yamani to do jousting before too I was expected to do well.

"Charge" I whispered into Peachblossoms ear. As the horse started to run I raised my lance meeting the little red dot on the target. Cheering erupted from the onlookers. I looked over at Lord Wyldon who no longer frowned at me but looked at me with jealously and awe in his eyes.

When I dismounted I saw the king had been watching. I bowed to him and started to lead Peachblossom back to the stables since training was over. The king fell in step with me, his guards about twenty paces behind us.

"Is that the first time you have ever jousted?" the king asked

"In five years" I said hoping he didn't make the connection to who i was. I handed Peachblossom to one of the stable hands and continued to walk with the king.

"I thought Yamani weren't taught jousting." the king replied looking slightly confused. " But from what I've heard about you I guess it shouldn't surprise me in what you can accomplish."

By then we were walking by the forest on the far side of the palace grounds. I started to feel uneasy. I don't know why but something is not right. Then I got it I pushed the King down to the ground just in time because right where his head had been an arrow went right through.

I kept the king down and unsheathed my sword. I knocked five arrows to the ground. I silently cursed the arrows were coming from different directions which meant that we were surrounded. The kings guards ran into the woods as I kept the king protected. Once the arrows stopped coming, I picked the king up by the back of his tunic and pushed him forward still looking out for more archers. As I knocked another arrow to the ground I felt an arrow enter my shoulder from the other direction. I ignored the pain the only thing on my mind was getting the king safe.

AsI made it past the line of guards into the practice courtsI felt the king being pulled from my grasp and being encircled by people to make sure he was unharmed. I just fell/sat on the ground and swore out loud. I grabbed at the arrow in my shoulder and guessed it was about two inches deep in my skin. I swore again this time oblivious to all the eyes that were watching me. I grabbed the arrow and sucked in air as i pulled it out. I then tore off the sleeve of my shirt and bandaged it tight to stop the bleeding. Once that was finished I looked up to see how the king was doing only to be greeted by the eyes of everyone staring at me. "What?" I asked, I saw a lot of them looking at my arm "Is just a small little wound no harm done." I got up off the ground wincing slightly as I used my right arm, maybe it hurt a little more than I thought it did. I picked up my sword which I had dropped beside me and blinked dumbly as it fell form my hold. This time I spoke aloud "Maybe I should stop getting hit in the right shoulder." I said referring to a time when I was training with the Treens and I lost the use of my shoulder for a week. I heard several chuckles from the treens as I picked my sword up again.

I then noticed that everyone was still looking at me. "What?" I asked more annoyed I mean why were they staring at me.

Finally a squire stepped forward, Neal I noticed "You just saved the king." He said looking at me like I was an angel.

Now I was confused "So" I said "Your point is?"

Master Helo stepped forward now "Please forgive Rose" he said with a blank face though it was obvious to everyone he was pound of me 'She has saved so many people she's forgotten what a big deal it is." He turned and looked at my shoulder "Come lets go get that properly bandaged we wont want what happened last time to happen again." He looked at my face and rolled his eyes "And I don't care if you think it is fine you will see a healer. Or" he paused then grinned "You can lose control of your arm again." With that said he started walking to the castle. I sighed but followed him anyway. He was making such a big deal over a scratch.


Please review I promise I will update by next Friday. Plus i know in the first chapter it said 2 weeks until the Ball/Interduction to court but it couldnt wait that long.
