Kellintha landed next to the Shadow Vault and approached the Knight of the Ebon Blade and turned in the proof of destruction of the scourge. He gave her six gold in return and she smiled and thanked him before walking up to the flight master and asking for passage to the Argent Tournament grounds. She paid him the one gold fee and took off. The flight landed an hour later and she climbed off the bone gryphon and walked into the Horde's Champion tent. She sighed as she walked into the Silvermoon area and slide down the wall in the back and laid her head on her knees. Her mind wandered back to her encounter with the Lich King and she smirked into her arms. She sighed and looked up at all the Horde members walking around her. She didn't know why she was smiling. Shouldn't she be upset, mad, and wanting revenge. However, all she could think of was seeing him again. Maybe her mother would understand. She doubted any of her guild would. She stood up and walked outside and found a random Troll mage. She paid him ten gold to give her a portal to Silvermoon City. When she walked out of the mage area in Silvermoon she waved at Lor'thamar who waved back. When she summoned her Green skeletal warhorse and rode out of the city to her parents house on the outskirts of Eversong. As she approached she saw her mother sitting outside with her little brother helping him get ready for school.
"Mom" she called and she saw her mother look up same with her brother.
"Kellintha, praise the Sunwell, your alive"
When she dismounted her brother Varik ran up and hugged her and she picked him up.
"Varik how are you doing dear brother"
"Great sister guess what"
"What"
"Im a mage"
Kellintha beamed and looked at the worried look on her mothers face. After saying good bye to her brother as he ran toward the city for school she walked inside the house.
"Mom can I talk to you"
"Of course dear whats wrong"
Kellintha sighed and sat down at the table as her mother layed her down a hot cup of apple cider. She looked up at her mom and tears started falling from her eyes. Her mother ran to her and through her arms around her.
"Daughter what happened"
Kellintha looked up at her mother tears brimming in her glowing green eyes.
"Mom the……..the………" she sighed and looked toward the window. She didn't know how to tell her mother.
"Oh little huntress why don't you come out and play" Kellintha jumped to her feet her mother following her lead. Kellintha peaked out the window but couldn't see anyone from her point of view. Who would know she was here.
"Huntress it aint nice to keep our master waiting for his prize"
Kellintha felt her heart freeze in her chest and she unsheathed her bow and strung up a arrow.
"Fuck off Scourge" she yelled as she let a arrow fly and she heard the tell tale screach of the arrow piercing the skin.
"Kel whats going on"
"I kinda saved the Lich King's life by accident and now he wont leave me alone"
"Come out dear Kellintha don't make me come in there" she heard his voice say "I don't think your family would like that much"
"You really think Im just going to walk out up to you Lich King. Im not stupid"
His laughter filled her ears and sent shivers up her spine.
"I can come in and get you my dear but would you really want that for your family sweetheart"
She cringed at the nickname and looked over at her mother who had tears pouring out off her eyes.
"You would really do that to the person that saved your life" She tried.
"Aww sweetheart" the Lich King replied sweetly smirking at his riders "true you saved my life but your family didn't I can easily slaughter them and raise them as ghouls its no problem to me"
Silence hit there ears then the saound of his laughter.
"Starting with this young man here"
Kellintha jerked up fear in her eyes when she heard her brothers voice mixed in with the scourge. Anger filled her how dare they lay their hands on him. She walked up to the front door but her mother grabbed her arm.
"Kel you cant win"
"I know mom but he wont kill me" she said " but hell kill Varik"
She kicked open her parents door and walked out her bow at her side and her twin blades hanging from her waist. Her eyes locked with the Lich Kings and she saw his hand laying on her brothers shoulder.
"Sis" Varik asked as Kellintha strung up her bow and pointed it straight at the Lich Kings chest.
"Release my brother Arthas Im not playing anymore" she growled. He laughed and pushed her brother behind him and started toward Kellintha. She held her ground her heart pounding in fear as he stopped right in front of her. He reached out and grabbed her bow from her trembling hands.
"What do you want" she asked
"You"
Her head snapped up to him and her eyes clouded with fear. She could hear her brother crying and she sighed and locked eyes with the Lich King.
"If you let my brother go and leave my family alone ill go back with you to Icecrown"
He smirked behind his helm and waved his hand as Varik ran up to Kellintha and through his small arms around her waist. She knelt down next to him and lifted his eyes to hers.
"Varik I want you to promise me something"
"What sis"
"I want you to train. I want you to grow powerful and strong and when you max out I want you to find me okay"
He shook his head yes and tears started falling from his eyes. She stood up and turned to face the Lich King who stood there with his arms crossed. She glared at him before she looked back at her house.
"Lets go" she snapped and she heard him chuckle as he grabbed her arm and pulled her along with him. He summoned what appeared to be a death gate like the ones shes seen death knights use so many times and waved his hand at it. She took a deep breath and walked through it. When she opened her eyes she was standing in a large circilar room with a throne in the center. Everything was covered in ice and tinted black. She felt the Lich King move to stand behind her and she wrapped her arms around herself.
"Welcome home sweetheart" the Lich King laughed as he sat down on the throne removing his helm to lay next to him. She looked around the room and sighed as she turned to him.
"Okay you have me here what now" she asked. A smirk spread across his lips as his eyes slowly roved over her. Kellintha gulped but never looked away from his face.
"What now my dear" the Lich King laughed as he stood up. He walked up to her and she shrank back fear claiming her even against her better judgement. His hand reached out and grabbed her chin and pulled her up to him. His arm wrapped around her small waist and he leaned down kissing her forhead.
"Go with Kellogan he will show you to the room you will be shareing with me understood"
She shook her head yes.
"Good girl"
He let her go after giving her a firm swat on the ass and went back to his throne. Kellintha sighed and followed the death knight out of the throne room.
