ZACHARY
His legs moved to a rythym, dancing to an unknown melody. His head full of nothing but his own heart beat. He drew his sword up, just in time, to meet Master Drents assault.
«Good, you're finally acting like the sword master you are.» Zachary blocked another blow bringing his sword up too his chest. He felt a stab of pain as he stretched too far, pulling at his wounds.
«Enough.» He dropped his sword taking slow breathes as he did so.
«If you think you're going too improve by stopping all the time you're very wrong, boy»
Zachary gritted his teeth, he was distracted, he wanted too see Karigan. He wanted too comfort her, tell her that everything would work out, that they would be together.
The King closed his eyes, that would never happen, he knew that. He sheathed his sword, making a decision.
«Fastion, where is Rider G'ladehon today?» The King made sure too keep his voice down.
«She is either in the mending wing, or the stables… I would try the stables first if I were you.»
Zachary laughed
«Of course »
KARIGAN
Karigan stroked Bluebirds mane, untangling burs before she brushed it. She was on too her fifth horse. So far she had done Garths Chickadee, Ty's Crane, Sunny and Swish (another old cavelry horse). Now she was onto the Captains Bluebird. Since she had not been given clearence too ride, she cleaned all the horses instead. And didn't they look marvelouse! Karigan smiled with pride. Her smile drooped as she thought of Condor… Oh how she missed him! He would be here soon, she assured herself, even so, she couldn't help feel like part of her was gone.
«Karigan?»
She yelped, dropping the brush underneath the horse, grabbing it she straightend.
«My-m-my Lo-rd» she stammered hastely, whilst she did a sloppy bow.
«Please, Karigan, its Zachary» She gulped, darting her eyes around, nope, they were alone. When she said nothing he continued, coming a few steps closer as he did so.
«I'm just worried about you… that is all. I mean, too come back with Estora and I-«
«Stop, Please. Just don't go there.» She ducked out of the stall and tried running past him, but was stopped. Zachary looked down at her, they were a mear inch apart. He kissed her. She Kissed back, leaning into him. Finally she broke away.
«No». She ran out, through the pasture, into the corridors, to riders wing. Slamming her door behind her she fell on her bed, why? Why did he have too do this with her? She was cooping (sort of) Why did he have too stuff it all up? Why did he have too kiss her? She closed her eyes, sobbing into her blankets. Why was she in love with him?
I'm so sorry about the shortness of the chapter, but I just have not had time…
