It's a Bit of a Blur
Kel woke up in a daze, every part of her body ached with the cold and pain. She looked around and realized she was in a small cell with about ten others who were sleeping or unconscious. Kel tried to remember where she was. Then in a bit of a blur it all came back.
It was a rather warm day for the middle of winter. A big group of people (including Kel and her knight friends, Dom, the King and Queen, Price Roald, Princess Shinko, Lord Rauol and Buri with there 2 year old son, Kyle, there where many others but Kel couldn't really recall exactly who)were on there way back to the palace from Wedding of Princess Kalasin and Prince Kaddar. They still had a while to go before they got there. The party was resting on this warm day, alot of people were skating on a nearby frozen lake. Buri was teaching her son to skate, Alanna was standing off the ice while looking at everone with worried eyes, The King and Queen were tring to get her to skate.
Kel remembered skating with Dom and Neal around the lake a few times before getting off to go talk with Raoul who was suffering a broken arm and Buri would not allow him on the ice.
It was about an hour later when everybody was off the ice except Kyle who was sliding around in the middle of the lake with his shoes. Buri was looking on worriedly but Raoul was telling her he would be fine because he was a strong little boy. It was Kel who scenced it first. An Arrow shot out of the surronding thick forest and periced the ice. The ice started to carck and Buri screamed.
Kel was the closest so she went into action. She had not yet taken off her skates so she was on the ice in seconds and skating torwards Kyle. She got there in time to just pick up the boy and throw him towards Raoul who was about to get on the ice. The last thing Kel saw before submerging was Raoul catching Kyle and she heard her friends scream her name. The Ice shattered.
The water was so cold which shock Kel immobile, but only for a second. Quickly she kicked off her skates and stuggled to the surface. When She got her head above the water, she managed to see Scanrans pour out from the trees before sinking again. Quickly she swam to the shore, what she didn't know was that she was so confused she swam to the wrong side.
Kel remembered only a little after that. She struggled to climb out of the lake. The only ones who saw her where the Scanrans who where gaurding the the wagon that was holding the hostage Tortallian's who had been gaurding the camp.
Kel remebered being thrown into the wagon, but was to numb with cold to understand what was going on. After that Kel couldn't remember anything.
Kel came back to the present when someone mouned next to her. It was a Tortallian gaurd who Kel regonized as a man with a healing gift, his name was Greg. Now Kel new who she had not died because of her dip in the lake.
That's when it hit Kel. Really hit her, they were prisoners of war in Scanra. Not only that but if she was here than does that mean that tortal lost the battle?
Kel looked around at the faces of her fellow prisoners, they where just the gaurd that had been posted around the camp. Kel turned to Greg and shook him awake. "Greg! Greg! wake up!" Kel coughed with the effort.
Greg woke slowly then everthing obviously came to him in a falsh because he sat up fast. He looked around then spotted Kel. "Lady Kel! you survived, i didn't think the power i put into you was enough." He shut up when Kel put up her hand to silence him.
"Tell me what happened" Kel said slowly because her head had yet to stop spinning.
"Oh the Scanrans pulled you into the cart unconsiouse and i warmed you well i could, i had already used alot of my power to fix the wounds of my fellow gaurds"
"Not that, I am talking about the Scanran attack on us in the middle of winter! What happened?"
"oh that, We won and the scanrans fled like rabbit's but I guess they didn't know of us prisoners, Tortal didn't follow the Scanrans and they got away with us" Greg said this with a depressed look. He was hiding something.
"What are you not telling me?" Kel said with less force than she had wanted.
Greg looked nervous but he went on "We know that King Maggur would love to get his hands on you for killing Blayce 2 years ago, so we convinced or gaurd that you where a deaf civilian." Kel glared at him knowing that what he said wasn't all he was hiding. He sighed and continued "They aren't going to try and randsome us, we are to give them answers or they kill us and they're is no possible escape, we are in King Maggur's dungons. Harry and Malvin have already been interogated and killed."
Greg stopped and tried to stop the flow of tears. Kel wanted to cry to for she knew all these men, she had laughed and fought besides them. But she couldn't cry she had gone numb on the inside.
When she heard where they where she felt completely defeated. Maggur's dungons where legend. Noone has escaped from them. The only door was on the ceiling. The walls were packed dirt, so there was nothingto climb on. The gaurds used magic to get the prisoners out for interrogation, and dropped dead bodies back with the remaining prisoners. Kel looked around and sure enough two motionless bodies lay in the corner that gave off the stench of death.
"If it causes any relife you wont get interrogated because your just a civilian, you'll probably just become a slave until you can find a way to escape. I am sure your friends will rescue you" Greg said to try to lighten the mood.
"No, they wont, they'll think i died in the lake, and they would have gotten out of the camp as soon as possible, They won't go looking for my body until summer and when it's not there they'll think someone found me and buried me." Kel sighed and tried to feel the saddness but it wasn't there. It was just a cold numb feeling that was worse than pain.
The other men started to wake and Kel could here footsteps nearing the cell. "I've got to do something" she said not really knowing she said it out loud. "NO!! you can't, you have a chance of surviving and gettting out of here one day, so pretend that you know nothing and keep quite. When it looked like she wasn't going to listen to him, Greg did the only thing he could do.
He gathered the last of his powers and made Kel sleep, The last thing she saw before slipping into a blissful, dreamless sleep, was a Scanran gaurd looked into the cell and pointed at the gaurd named Jeff who was magically lifted out of the door in the ceiling to never be seen again.
