all the ingenious creations of the magnificient Tamora Pierce.
Okay, I changed this so that it wasn't so clustered together. I'm going to
re-do chapter 2 in a minute. Okay everyone who's reading this: IT GETS
BETTER, I SWEAR!
1. Kel reviewed herself in the mirror one last time. She had to admit it, she looked beautiful. The dress that Lalasa had made especially for the occasion fit her perfectly, and her normally boring shoulder-length brown hair was piled on top of her head in an elegant fashion. She failed to suppress a nervous giggle as she skipped towards the ballroom.
When she walked in, she immediately registered a number of familiar faces: among strangers, she noticed her friends Neal, Owen, Cleon, and Merric. She walked over to them and said "hi," but then noticed the handsome smiling face of Domitan of Masobelle, making her heart pound. She excused herself from her knight friends, walking over to engage herself in conversation with Dom. When he saw her coming, he looked her over with amazement.
"Hi........" she said nervously. For whatever reason, Dom blushed.
"You look very diffferent when you're not out fighting enemies and saving refugees," he commented. Suprised, Kel laughed. The tension between them eased, but Kel's heart still pounded loudly in her chest, and she feared Dom would hear it.
She searched frantically for a topic of discussion. "So, is Lord Raoul sulking in his chambers, or has the king managed to coax him out of hiding?" Dom laughed, making Kel's heart pound even faster.
"No, I think now that he's married to Commander Buri, he's not afraid of matchmaking mothers trying to marry off their daughters. He's still cautious though, so he's sitting in his quiet little corner talking to Alanna the Lioness."
"Oh," Kel said, for lack of a better word.
"Would you like to dance?" Dom said abruptly. Kel's heart sped up as the question hung in the air. The color in Dom's cheeks reddened while Kel tried to comprehend his question.
"I'd be honored to," she replied finally. She could hear Dom let out a sigh of relief. Their hands touched; his were sweaty, and she knew hers were too. He gave her a last glance before they started dancing, perfectly in step.
I'm not going to spend to time writing and typing up the next chapter if no one's reading it, so PLEASE I need lots and lots of REVIEWS......
