Sorry for the long wait. I have been away. So heres the next chapter, I hope you like it. Oh I should just mention I have not spent enough time proof reading it because I don't have much time. So I hope the mistakes are too great.

Thanks to the Girl Scholar and all that reviewed.

Last chapter: it is decided that Kel will go to Scanra to act as an assassin accompanied by Numair, Daine, and much to Merrics distress, Dom's squad.

Kel stood at the edge of the fort looking out at the greying sky that seemed to be as moody as her. She had a huge task ahead of her, one she had no idea how to accomplish and on top of all that Kel was letting Merric and Dom get to her. She sighed loudly.

Sensing her worry, Dom reached out and put and arm around her.

"Hey don't worry we're going to get through this fine," he said smiling down at her.

"We'll see," she muttered, "let's go inside anyway, we have heaps to do before tomorrow."

"Right you are Kel."

They trudged slowly back into the fort. "Let's go see Wyldon and get the supplies list," Kel said.

"Ok sure thing, but first can we stop by my rooms? I need to get something." Dom asked.

"Yes of course."

Nearing the corner Kel reached to stop Dom. "Sssshhhh, listen" she said at Doms enquiring face.

"Listen Noron we cant do this here, we don't know who could be listening."

"That's Naraki" Dom whispered, eyes wide.

"But dearest, I miss you so much it and it's horrible to watch you go around with that Dom guy."

"Tell me about it, what a loser."

Dom stiffened.

"Well anyway it's not much longer. Wwe need him, you know that. He tells me all that goes on so we can relay it to Maggar. Anyway we can't talk here, meet me in the tower tonight at midnight ok? And tell the others," she replied.

Naraki gave Noron a quick kiss and they parted.

Kel slowly released the breath she didn't know she had been holding.

"Dom I'm sorry," she said slowly.

Dom held up his hand to stop her. There where tears in his eyes, but he looked furious.

"I cant believe it," he whispered hoarsely. "I thought she was the one."

Kel winced at this. "Listen Dom we have to turn her in, you know that."

"They'll kill her Kel." He said blinking hard. "I don't know if I could do that to her!"

"We must Dom, you know that. Let's go see Wyldon now." Kel put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Ok," he whispered.

Ten minutes later they found themselves in Wyldon's quarters.

"Well if what you say is true we have a huge problem on our hands," Wyldon sighed. "We will get Numair to spy on them magically and hopefully we will catch all of them. But this could mean Maggar knows about you Kel." Wyldon said looking at her. "We may have to change our whole strategy."

Kel sighed.

Dom sat looking thoughtful. "What about Yuki Sir?"

"What about her?" Wyldon asked.

"It's just that she was the one that bought Naraki here in the first place. What if Yuki's been a spy all the time?"

Kel looked angrily at Dom. "Yuki has nothing to do with this. I trust her with my life. She's one of my best friends! Naraki just sucked her in like she did to you. I knew there was something fishy about her from the start."

Dom looked ready to explode.

Wyldon sighed. "She will have to be questioned, along with many other people, but for now you two need to leave me to make some preparations for tonight. Mmeet me here at ten."

"Yessir" they chorused.

"Oh and Sir?" Kel asked, "Are we still leaving tomorrow?"

"We will have to hold leaving for a few days." Wyldon said. "And Dom?"

"Yes sir?"

"You do know that punishment for being a spy is getting burned at the stake?" Wyldon asked looking sympathetic.

"I do sir."

Kel and Dom found there way to Kel's room.

"I don't know how I can face her," he sighed. "And you!" he said pointing a finger at Kel. "What was with the 'I knew there was something fishy about her'?"

Kel shrugged. "Well I just had a feeling."

"A feeling or feelings for me?" he demanded. "You were just jealous!"

Kel whirled round at him. "How dare you!" she said angrily. "Maybe I was, but in case you hadn't noticed she turned out to be the bad one, not me."

Dom stared at her then lunged forward pressing his lips down hard on hers. "I've wanted you for so long Kel," he mumbled against her, "only I thought you would never have me so I was contented with Naraki."

Kel pulled away from him and sat on the bed dizzily. "Dom I think you need help. Before you said you thought se was the one! And now...now this!"

He sat do next to her. Reaching up Dom ran a finger down Kel's cheek. "I mean it," he whispered. "I've always loved you Kel."

Taking her chin in his hand her pulled her towards him, there lips meeting for a second time. Kel put her arms round his waste kissing him back. They fell back on the bed. Rolling on top of her Dom pushed his tongue against her mouth, begging for entrance.

Kel cried out and pushed him off. She jumped up and ran to the door, flinging it open.

"I'm sorry Dom, but you need to go."

Dom slowly got up off the bed and silently made his way out of the room. Throwing one disappointed look in her direction, he pulled the door shut behind him. Kel stared at the door for a minute and then slammed her fist into the wall. She punched and punched until her hands were too bruised and scratched to continue. She slid to the floor, pressing her hands to her eyes. Never had she felt so alone. No longer could she shove down her feelings. But one tear was all she let herself have and then she curled into a ball and fell asleep.

OoOoO

Later that night Kel quickly and quietly made her way to Wyldons quarters.

Sitting round his table was Numair, Dom, Raoul and Daine. Numair was holding a glowing stone in his hand.

Looking up Wyldon said, "We have guards hiding all around the room ready to act as soon as we order."

"This stone allows us to listen," Numair said tiredly. "All we have to do know is wait."

The group sat in silence before they heard anything. It was Naraki.

"Ok so everyone is here?" she asked. "Good. What has everyone found out?"

The group relayed there findings to Naraki and then she told them about Kel going to kill Maggar. "Now all we have to do is tell him," she said. "Noron see if you can contact him now."

Wyldon looked at Numair. "Send them in," he said. "We need to stop them before they contact Maggar."

Numair nodded and quickly left. Half an hour lately Numiar re-entered followed by a Sergeant named Rumot.

"We have all twelve of them captured Sir," Rumot said.

"Twelve?" Kel gasped.

"That's right, there were stable hands, kitchen hands, a few soldiers. Noron worked in the healing wing and there was the Lady Naraki." Rumot told her.

"So what now?" Dom asked.

Wyldon looked around at them. "Tomorrow, I'm afraid some punishments are to be served."

Dom stopped Kel as she was leaving the room. "Kel, I am so sorry. I should not have behaved like that."

She nodded. "Do you even love me Dom?"

He looked down sadly. "I don't know," he admitted. "Maybe."

Kel spent the night by herself in her room. Dom went and saw Naraki the next day but she refused to talk to him. Yuki and others were questioned, but to Kel's relief she was found innocent. Later that day Yuki was crying in Kels arms. "I refuse to believe Kel, I just can't."

It turned out that Naraki had moved to the Yamani islands with her family when she was ten where they had been spies, and Naraki had used Yuki to get into the fort.

Twelve people were burned at the stake that night. Kel, Yuki and Dom didn't go but all could here Naraki's shrieks as she slowly burned to death.

Together they watched the sun slowly set on a day they all hoped never to have to deal with again. "Tomorrows a new start," Kel murmured.

Its kinda hard to write an emotional scene or two. I hope it worked out ok. Thanks for reading,
