ok, well here it is!

He leaned against the closed door and buried his head in his hands. Why do I feel this way? I should be happy with Kel.

Chapter 6:

The next few days went by fairly quickly, Dom spending time with Kel and Cleon and Serena lurking close by. Dom couldn't take his eyes off the couple, but forced himself to become dedicated to his relationship with Kel.

One day, a messenger knocked at Dom's door while he and Kel were kissing passionately. "Yes?" Dom said, opening the door just wide enough for the messenger to see him and not Kel.

"Umm….Lord Raoul would like to see you in his study in a bell's time," the messenger said, bowing.

"Thank you," Dom replied, tossing him a copper coin for his service. The servant grabbed it and fled.

"What was that Dom?" Kel said, pulling on the tunic Dom had managed to take off during their kiss.

"A messenger. Said Raoul wants to see me in his study in a bell's time." Dom said, locking the door once more.

"Dom, I think you should change into something decent. I'll see you in the mess for dinner?" Kel asked, turning to leave.

"Ok, but once more." As soon as it came out of his mouth, it covered hers. She couldn't help but kiss him back. She loved how he treated her as both a warrior and a court lady. She loved how he handled her delicately as if she were thin glass. But most of all, she just loved his touch and presence.

They broke away reluctantly and Kel left Dom deciding what to wear. After much thought, he decided on a sky blue tunic with dark blue breeches.

The bell went, and he descended down the hall, towards Raoul's study. Raoul, obviously knowing how prompt Dom always was, leaned on the frame of his study door.

"Well, Dom, I've been expecting you," he drawled, motioning for him to enter.

"I see. Since you sent a messenger in while Kel and I were talking," he said, smiling. Raoul, realising what he meant, blushed. And mumbled a barely audible "Sorry".

When they finished settling themselves in the seats, Dom asked "So what did you need to see me about, sir?"

"Well, you know Serena of Pearlmouth, yes?" He didn't wait for Dom to answer. He had seen him with her before his courtship with Kel. "Well, she wishes to go back to Corus for Mid-Winter and I am sending your squad to escort her."

Seeing his sudden change of expression, he added, "Wolset seemed very restless along with the rest of your group. I know you don't want to leave Kel, but they need something to do." Raoul told him, putting a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Yes sir," Dom sighed. He really didn't want to leave Kel. He didn't know what Cleon might do to her while he was away. He clenched his fists at the thought of the red-headed knight.

Apparently Raoul noticed this and said, "I know how Cleon gets. Don't worry. I'll still be here, remember. Kel is like a daughter to me. I will not let anyone hurt her in any way. You should know that."

"I know Raoul, it's just, I don't know. I love her, Raoul. I – I've just never felt so strongly about someone before." Dom sighed and turned to leave. "Wait, when do we leave? I need to tell the guys."

"You leave in 2 days time after lunch. No need to tell your squad. I told them already. And they went about it very happily." He said, smirking.

"Well then I need some time to say goodbye to Kel," Dom drawled dramatically. Raoul just laughed as he watched his sergeant walk out the door.

Serena grinned evilly. Everything was going according to plan. She and Cleon were going to get their meant-to-be sweethearts back. And they will get rid of anyone who dares to stand in their way. Revenge in her vocabulary meant "A fast dish, best served cold. Or frozen."

I'm sorry this chapter is so short (this is the shortest chap so far....only 922 words.....ehehe), but I had amateur's block again.

I refuse to call myself a writer so I can't get writer's block. Haha lol. I am so random.
