A.N. Sorry this is so short, I will write more in the next day or two. I'm at work and forgot my flash drive so I couldn't save it and had to post it. Thank you for your patience and your reviews! God bless!
Keeva's heart beat rapidly as she and Mona made for the stable. Mona's friend Reilly had hidden the cloths in the stall with his horse, and told the girls where to find them.
Quickly donning the uniform, Keeva put her hair in a bun and slipped on the helmet. "Good thing I brought this pillow." Mona said "You look like a pregnant guy, rather than a fat one." Keeva and Mona burst out laughing but quickly grew silent as they heard people outside the stable.
"Quick take off the tunic and add the pillow, I also brought a belt to hold it in place." Mona helped her Mistress tighten the belt. Keeva slipped the tunic back on just as the men came into view.
"Quick, hide the dress and shoes." Keeva whispered urgently to her friend. Mona dropped the saddle over them and knelt as if fixing a strap.
"Hurry up in there, we move out in 5 minutes." The commander told her gruffly. "Yes sir." Keeva said making her voice sound as much like a man's as she possibly could. The commander gave her a hard look, shrugged and moved on.
Keeva sighed in relief and quickly grabbed the saddle bag of the hook. After Mona had packed her cloths she saddled the horse and helped Keeva onto it.
"God be with you Milady. We will be praying." Mona said as she opened the gait and led the horse out.
"Thank you Mona, be careful and leave as soon as you get a chance." Keeva said squeezing Mona's extended hand.
"I will, don't worry about us." Mona answered, squeezing Keeva's hand in return.
As Keeva turned the horse to head for the door, Mona hurriedly left through the back.
Lord I hope this is Your plan, cuz if it's not…. were in trouble. Please keep us safe.
Keeva led her horse out of the stable and towards the gate where a long line of uniformed soldiers waited to leave.
She took a spot at the end of the assembly and waited.
