Thank you to the two people who reviewed!
Thank you to:
Rogue-Storm-Rampant: I try to keep her in character, I don't know how well that's going to work though, I'll try but with a new life she's going to be a little different attitude-wise.
LadyKnightOpal: New chapter! Yay!
bloodsucker13: Thank you! I completely forgot about George, he won't be in there for a while though. She doesn't fall in love with him in this one...

"Well I know which convent Lady I won't be asking to dance with." commented Alex dryly as they sat down with their trays at their favorite table.

"I hope Alanna's okay, that slap looked like it hurt." Jonathan looked at the door as if expecting Alanna to walk in.
"I knew she hated the convent, I always wonder what happened to her there, but she certainly learned to keep her mouth shut. Its a good thing in this case too, the Alanna I knew would've hit back, who knows what would've happened then." Thom remarked slowly, he was still angry at Amelie.
"Well Lilia's talked to me about her friend at the convent, she never mentioned a name but I never thought it'd be your sister Thom."
The doors opened and a small group of ladies walked in. Gary's head shot up and he grinned upon seeing Lilia among them. He beckoned her to their table. She took a tray and sat down. Her tray was filled to the brim and her brother arched his eyebrows at her.
"What? I'm finally free of those stupid little vegetable snacks they call meals at the convent, I am here now and I am starved and I have a right to eat." She snapped, she wasn't really angry, her eyes were shining in mirth. She said hello to the other table occupants. They all laughed, Gary looked at her bewildered.
"My, you've changed."
"You can thank Alanna for that probably." Thom stated at Gary and the boys laughed once more.
Lilia had bright brown eyes and brown hair that fell slightly past her shoulders. She was wearing a dark blue skirt and a white lacy shirt that was splendid in all its simplicity. She had a nice medium sized nose and had small gold ear bobs in her ears. She had taunting neither red neither pink lips and had small white teeth all perfectly in line, she was very pretty.
"Yes, yes you can thank the gods. By the way, where is Alanna? She should be here." She directed this comment at Thom who was obviously, even to a stranger, Alanna's twin.
He extended a hand to her to shake across the table.
"Thom. And she got in trouble with the convent ladies, she should be here soon, hopefully."
Lilia shook her head, "Just arrived and already in trouble. Typical. So you're the infamous Thom." She stated more than asked.
He cocked an eyebrow.
"Do you have any stories about our Thom, that Alanna told you, perhaps? I would love to hear some." Raoul said all this with a widening grin. Jonathan's added his grin to Raoul's and looked at Lilia;
"Yes, do tell if you have any."
Thom scowled and Lilia laughed.
"Well just the variety of pranks that Alanna and Thom played on each other. Well that Alanna played on Thom anyways."
"That's not fair! I pranked her back!"
"Yes, and then she ducked you into a pond at Trebond. Do you not remember?"
"Yes, I remember." Thom stated bitterly. The rest of the table cracked up in laughter as they thought of the squire being ducked into a pond by a lady. Jonathan laughed along but his thoughts immediately wandered. Alanna, Thom's infamous twin sister whom he'd been told little about except for little tidbits of childhood memories, was very different then what was expected. She was funny and not empty-headed like the other court beauties. Sure, she wasn't as beautiful as some of them but she was still very pretty. She wore breeches and a shirt and she talked back, she used to beat Thom up and had always wanted to be a warrior. She had been forced to go to the convent and had survived with most of her brain cells together. It would be interesting to get to know Alanna before his knight master took him away again. Not that that would be happening soon as his father, the king, didn't like to travel much.
The mood brightened steadily and finally the door to the mess hall opened once more and a lone girl walked in. All the heads turned to her and then turned back to their meals, well, most of the heads anyways. She skipped the trays and sat down beside Thom. On her face was a brilliant red hand print that could be seen from a long way away and yet she looked strangely happy.
"Just got here and already in trouble?" teased Lilia.
Alanna looked at her mildly amused; "I know what you did."
"What I did? Surely you must be mistaken, I didn't do anything."
"Oh you are so sneaky. I went to do the same and found out that it was already done, I must give you my congratulations."
Alanna extended her hand over the table to Lilia;
"Why thank you, I only learned from the best." Lilia shook Alanna's hand mockingly and they grinned evilly at each other.
The squires looked at them slightly alarmed.
"What did you do?" Gary asked his sister sounding amused.
"You'll find out soon enough." As if on cue a high-pitched, blood-curdling screech broke through the noise of the mess hall who went deathly quiet. A runner burst in and went to the table where the Convent Sisters sat.

Here it is, and here's Lilia. It'll get better soon, I promise!
