| % CLEON'S CHOICE % Written by Lady Lianna of Thunder Rock |
| (Hi all ! This is my first fanfic, so pls tell me what you think !! julia_mast@hotmail.com I need to know whether I should continue. Pls tell me!) Disclaimer- None of these characters belong to me. They all belong to the Goddess of Fantasy, Tamora Pierce. So pls don't sue !!! I'm a good girl, really! Keladry of Mindelin was walking to the library to get some books for her essay. As she passed Cleon's room, thinking of what books she had to get, she heard someone sobbing. Kel threw open the door, and raced to the bed where Cleon sat. "Cleon, whatever is the matter!" Cleon stood up, surprised at seeing her there. "Kel !" He cried. Then he grabbed her in a bone-cracking hug. Realizing that Cleon was too sad to speak, Kel just let him cry on, and made soothing noises. Finally, he looked up at Kel, and without him talking, she knew what he would say. "Kel, darling, my mother says I must go to Kennan to wed that heiress," Cleon said, motioning towards a letter on his desk. "She also says.." and then stopped. "What !?!?" Kel demanded. Seeing the look on Cleon's face, she said more gently, "Please tell me." Cleon looked up into Kel's hazel eyes, made more bright by her barely held back tears, looked into the face that he loved more than anything. "She said that I should stop seeing that Knight-Girl," Cleon said. "But I won't ! We can run off together, like," But he was cut off as Kel's lips covered his. Then she pulled away, and said, "Your family needs the money Cleon. Besides, you can't run away from your problems." "We will think of something," Cleon assured Kel. Then he kissed her again, and forgot all else. (Okay, I know it wasn't long, but I don't know if I should continue. Pls review!!) |
