Please Review no one is. I will update soon only three days until school is out.
I guess it was a little more than a scratch, because after the healing I was out for the rest of the day. I woke up a little earlier this morning because i slept so much yesterday. I went through my regular exercises which took a little longer than usual because of my arm. I then bathed as usual and dressed in my green practice uniform. I was tidying up when i heard a knock on my door. I opened it and saw a man about six years older with dark hair and blue eyes. I don't know why but he did look sort of familiar.
"Hello" the man said bowing "My name is Dom. I come baring a message from Master Helo." I could tell me was teasing me but ignored it and nodded at him to continue. "Master Helo says: Instead of going to training, you are too meet him in the breakfast room, he has some people he wants you to meet."
I nodded again and replied. "Thank you. I will be there." The man bowed again and left. I closed the door and started to change. I now wore a black tunic with a red shirt underneath. I also wore a long black fighting skirt with red roses embroidered up the left side of it. I also had my two red shuskens and both long sword and short sword. I pulled my long red hair into a loose bum with a few wisps escaping after I was finished. I grabbed a few of my special hair pins with blades on the end and put them in as I walked out the door. I locked my door and headed down the hall to the breakfast room. I could hear laugher coming from inside, who could Master Helo want me to meet?
I reached the door and was about to knock when someone opened it from the inside.
"Ah Rose you got here quicker than i anticipated." Master Helo said ushering me into the room.
"I was already awake sir." I replied
"Of course you are already ready for everything. Now I figured that with and injured shoulder --Don't roll your eyes at me you are hurt." he interrupted himself because i did roll my eyes, "So today we will be hanging out with the King Own."
I rolled my eyes again "My shoulder is fine, but I will do as you wish."
"Of course you will" Master Helo stated "Now this" he pointed to a large man "Is Lord Raoul, the commander of the Kings Own." I bowed and not as soon as I stood straight that I heard the shriek of Lady Bella.
"Ladies do not bow Rose they curtsy, have I not taught you anything." yelled Lady Bella.
I rolled my eyes again but did not move. "Of course" Lady Bella said coolly "You never pay attention anyway there is no hope of you ever being a true Lady." I could tell in her expression that this was what she actually believed she thought I could not pass as a lady.
Anger swelled up in me but I kept it hidden. Instead I turned towards Lord Raoul who had been watching us with amusement. I then curtsied with such pose and elegance that Lady Bella just stared in shock.
"It is a pleasure to meet you M' lord."
Master Helo started laughing loudly "See Bella she does pay attention you just have to beat what you taught out of her. She learned long ago, when she was five I believe, that if she didn't pay attention to me all of her fingers would get broken."
Lady Bella then swept out of the room deep in thought. "What did you do that for?" I yelled at Master Helo who had a small child like smile on his face. "She'll bring a glaive to the next lesson and beat me with it."
"Yes then maybe she will stop complaining to me. Now I didn't get to finish introductions." He pointed to a few other people apparently I would be spending all day with Lord Raoul and third company. "And this is Sergeant Dom of third company." I nodded to him and Master Helo continued "Of course everyone knows you already but I will introduce you by your name anyway-"
"No you won't" I interrupted. I looked at the group of people before me. "Call me Rose if you know my real name or not I don't care but please call me Rose."
"I thought your name was Rose." Lord Raoul said with a confused look on his face.
"No " I replied with a slight smirk "I don't really like my real name."
"I'm sure its fine." Dom said
"You can decide that when I'm introduced to curt in two days." I replied trying to keep my uneasiness from showing.
"Ok then this is Rose the Yamani Rose Warrior." Master Helo said as if nothing had deterred him from speaking. "Now we were thinking of going for a ride in the royal forest , but if you'd rather hang around with sexist training masters all day be my guest."
"Fine" I said rolling my eyes again. I knew there was no arguing with him and i could tell he had a short temper today.
"Very well its settled we will be eating midday there as well so bring a pack in case you get bored."
I went back to my room and grabbed a bag. I put a few things in randomly then pulled my drawing pad from its hiding place, I also put in a few charcoal pencils and extra paper.
I went down to the stables where I saw some stable hands wrestling with Peachblossom. I knew the horse was not recognizable but called him by a different name still.
"Blossom" I called taping the stable hand who was trying to steady him and pointed away. "Blossom what did I tell you about being nice to people. That was very rude of you." I saddled him and gave him an apple so that he would be nice to other people.
I grabbed the reins and lead Peachblossom outside where Master Helo, Raoul, and Dom were waiting for me and the rest of the men.
Peachblossom was overjoyed at the fact that there were new people to chew on so he sauntered over too Dom giving Master Helo wide berth. I waited right until Peachblossom was about to bit into Dom's shoulder till I called him off.
"Blossom, you bit him and no apples for a month." Peachblossom chomped his teeth together and looked at the ground. The rest of the men were starting to mount so I went to peachblossom and took the reins again.
"Sorry" I said to Dom "He likes to bit people."
"Oh" Dom uttered still in shock.
We both mounted our horses and started off after the group. Once we reached everyone else I kept to the back of the group and Dom being nice kept next to me and continued the conversation.
"So have you seen Meathead before?" Dom asked me after we had been riding for a while.
"Meathead?" I asked amused could he be talking about Neal?
"My cousin, his name is Neal but I think Meathead suits him better." Dom replied grinning from ear to ear.
"Then yes." I replied laughing "i have seen him around at times i guess he does act like a meathead. Do you still talk to him often?"
"Yeah we still pass letters, though he does not talk as much." he was silent for a moment "Have you head of the girl who went for knighthood, Keladry?" Dom asked. Once I nodded he continued "Well they were good friends, he even admitted that she was better than him. He used to talk about her all the time and the stupid things that they did. I think he is still getting used to her not being there."
He stopped and looked at me, I guess i had some tears in my eyes or something because he asked: "Are you OK."
I knew that I could not explain why i was sad without telling him who I really was oh no I might have-
"Here we are." a voice cut into my thoughts "Spread out we are spending the rest of the day here."
I'll update soon PLEASE review
