Chapter 5: A Promise

Disclaimer: If I have to say this blasted thing one more time, I am going to hurl. People you know what goes here so don't ask! A/N why does it seem Kel goes to Neal but he doesn't go to her? Who knows?

A/N in the last chapter I said Neal ran to his rooms, he really ran to the stables to ride home. Seeing as I am too lazy to change it, it's going to stay that way.

Previously on What was Once Lost: "Kel, have you finished that book I let you borr…." Neal stopped his sentence short. His heart skipped three beats as he saw his love kissing his cousin. It took all his will power to not pull Dom off of Kel and beat him up. "I'll just leave you two alone." He walked out the door. Out of sight, he ran as fast as he could to the stables. Back in Kel's room, Kel said "Dom, I have to go after him. He's my best friend."

"Of course, I understand. Go." Dom said quietly.

"Thanks, Dom." Kel left the room after Neal. After she left, Dom thought to himself, She loves him, doesn't she?

Chapter 5

Kel ran down the courtyard that separated the castle from the stables. "Neal. Come back here, Neal. We need to talk. Neal." Kel shouted. She reached the stables and threw the door opened. Neal was on his horse, about to gallop home. "Neal, wait."

"Kel, it's over. You still love him. I can't get between that. For all that I love you, you're my best friend, first and for most. I can't loss that. Not now after all this time."

"But, Neal, you can't just end this like this. Not now. Not when I still love you."

"Kel, don't say that."

"Don't say what, Neal. Don't say that I love you? That I've loved you since we were pages? That I want to marry you. Don't say that I want to be your wife, your supporter, the mother of your children, your everything?"

"Kel…"

"What, Neal? Don't say what?"

"Kel, I want to be your everything too, but you have to end it with Dom, not me but you. Until you can and do end it with Dom, me and you can't be. He's my cousin and your fiancée and neither of us can betray him not like this."

"Okay I'll end it with him tonight. I'll ask him to call off the wedding."

"Thank you." Neal pulled her to him and kissed her. "Until tonight, Pearl."

"Oh no, not you too. I had enough of that from Cleon, Gods Bless him and his children; I don't need it from you."

"Whatever you say, Queen of my Heart and of Lady Knights."

"Neal!"

(A/N Does Kel really break it off with Dom? Does she hit Neal? Will Neal ever not be a meathead? Will I stop asking questions? Find out next week on What was Once Lost.)

(A/N Does this sound like a soap opera to you, guys because it does it to me. It sounds like something off of Days of Our Lives. ;-) Until next time my dear readers. Oh and I am sorry for the delay. I was away on trips and then my internet broke down and then was giving me an error message and I was unable to post anything but here it is Chapter 6)

Lady Dove- Jeni

Me (Jeni) - Yes

Lady Dove- You do know that this is chapter 5 not 6

Me- Oops oh well

(A/N Chapter 5 guys sorry)
