So possibly the last chapter apart from the epilogue
Dom was having a fantastic time at Pirate's Swoop.
George made sure his guest had everything he needed and tried to keep his mind off the reason he was here.
When Alanna came home Dom tried to get away from the pair as much as possible.
It just reminded him of Kel and Nathan. He still hadn't figured out what to do about the love of his life and his brother.
He was surprised when Neal sent him the wedding invitation from Nathan asking for his brother to be his best man. Of course he would be there for his brother but it meant watching Kel marry someone apart from him. Dom made a plan with George to arrive back at Corus the day before the wedding to ensure that he had the smallest amount of time to run into Kel as possible. Neal would make sure that Yuki kept Kel occupied with the preparations so she would have no time to find Dom.
Everything would work out wonderful; if it all went to plan.
Kel was in the stables just chatting with Hoshi and Peachblossom when Nathan came home. His clothes were worn from travelling but other than that he was in once piece.
"Nathan!" She cried and threw her arms around him. She lifted her head to look into his eyes and was distracted by his lips knocking the breathe out of her.
"Kel it's been far too long. I missed you." He told her.
"I was worried about you Nathan. I'm glad you're in one piece." She told him the truth. She had been very worried.
"Come on by bride to be. Lets go get some food." Kel agreed pushing her thoughts about the wedding away. She would deal with it later.
Kel woke early the day of her wedding. She had a strange feeling in her stomach that she couldn't name. There was a knock at the door despite the early hour.
"Who is it?" Kel croaked with a voice that was only waking up.
"It's me." Yuki said walking into her room followed by Alanna, Thayet and Lalasa. "Time to get you ready for your big day." The women set down their bags and began unpacking their things that would transform Kel into the wonderful bride in white.
Kel groaned and lay back down on her bed. "But the wedding is not until this afternoon."
"I know. But we've got you a special bath with oils and mineral that I organised just for you." Alanna said pulling Kel's blankets off her and pushing her towards the door. Kel just sighed and allowed her friends to dote on her. She behaved wonderfully and soon it was time to get changed.
Kel looked amazing. Her white gown fitted her shape perfectly. It clung to all her right places and hid her flaws. Her hair was piled onto of her head and ringlets cascaded down her shoulders. Kel let Yuki apply a small amount of face paint and in no time Kel was ready.
"I'm nervous." She whispered to Yuki who led her towards the chapel. Alanna, Thayet and Lalasa were already there.
"Don't worry Kel. You'll be fine. I was you. Beside you've faced armies and immortals. This is a walk in the path for you." Yuki gripped her friends arm. Kel just nodded.
Yuki kissed her cheek and walked into the chapel leaving Kel alone with her thoughts.
Kel heard her cue and walked into the chapel.
Looking at the front she saw Nathan standing there looking beautiful and next to Nathan Kel gasped as she saw Dom standing in a matching outfit to his brothers.
He looked more beautiful and more handsome than his brother.
Kel felt her heart give a tug. She finally realised she was making a huge mistake. She couldn't marry Nathan. She just couldn't.
"I'm sorry. I can't." She said and ran from the chapel back to her rooms. She sat down hard on her bed not caring about her dress. Not long after Alanna and Yuki came in.
"What in the Goddess's name are you doing Kel?" Alanna asked striding into the room.
"I can't marry Nathan. I just can't. Can you get him for me please? I need to talk to him." Kel said her voice even despite her racing heart.
Alanna threw her hands up in frustration and left to get Nathan. Kel looked at Yuki wondering what her long time friend was thinking.
"I don't now the reason for this decision but I know you will do the right thing." Kel watched as Yuki left the room.
Nathan came in puffing. He had run from the chapel.
"Kel what's wrong?" He asked catching his breath.
"Nathan, I'm sorry. I can't marry you. You need someone better." There she had said it.
Nathan looked confused. "But Kel, I want to marry you."
"No Nathan, you barely know me. I'm sorry but I don't love you enough to spend the rest of my life with you. I can't marry you. It would be wrong of me to do that to you."
Nathan looked at Kel for a long time. He realised she was right. Kel wasn't the right girl for him and to be honest he just asked her because his mother was bugging him.
"If that's what you want."
Kel nodded. "I'm sorry Nathan but it is for the best." Nathan said nothing but left Kel's room. Kel got out of her dress without any help. She hung it up and washed her face.
"I need to get away." She said to her reflection in the mirror. "I need space to think." She began packing her bags with anything that she could fit. More stuff than she would usually take on a trip but not everything. She waited until sunset to set out. While everyone was at dinner Kel made her way to the stables and mounted Hoshi.
"I'm sorry Peachblossom but I can't take you. Get Daine to ride you or someone even Tobe." Kel galloped out of the stables her only thoughts of finding someplace where she could hide and be alone with her thoughts.
next is the epilogue i think. Please review
