A/N Hey, I am posting this chapter in honor of LADY KNIGHT!!!!! YAY!!!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, but Catherine and Rionard and the plot. Right? You don't believe me? What a flattering compliment, but I do not own it, sadly.
Second Chances in Love
Alanna eyes fluttered open. The light was streaming through her window and onto her bed. Jon walked over to her and sat on the bed, with a cup of tea in his hand.
"You're awake," he said softly.
"What happened?" Alanna asked weakly, trying to sit up.
Jon pushed her back down. "You destroyed Catherine with some pretty powerful magic."
The memories came flooding back to her. "George is dead."
"What?" Jon asked, staring at her.
"She killed him. She wanted to kill him because he had failed. And she killed him!" Tears slid down Alanna's face.
"He failed what?" Jon asked her, a concerned lok in his eyes.
"George was supposed to kidnap me like he did, but he allowed me to escape. So she killed him. She wanted to kill me too!" Alanna sobbed. Jon put his arms around her and rocked her.
"Here, drink this. It'll make you feel better." Jon handed her the cup of tea.
Alanna sipped it. "What about Rionard? She said he was involved."
"When we discovered you there, we saw Catherine's necklace. One of a kind that only she owned. They knew it was her. Rionard confessed to everything before a council yesterday. He's going to be hung for what he's done."
Alanna shuddered. "Why the death penalty?"
"Treason," Jon said. Seeing Alanna's confused look, he added, "He went against the treaty between us, the king saw that as treason."
"They also looked through Catherine's rooms. They discovered letters from her to Rionard, Jem Tanner, that general Sam, and George. Oh, Alanna, I'm so glad you're all right!" He kissed his beloved wife.
She kissed him back. "Can we go home now?"
"Of course, my Lioness, of course."
Alanna, Jon, and the Progress rode across the river back to Tortall. The trek was long and tiring. Alanna could barely keep her eyes open, let alone stay in the saddle. She kept nodding off and then someone would wake her up before she fell out of the saddle.
When not falling off to sleep, Alanna thought about how she rose throught the air back to fight Catherine. Though she disliked the idea of George's spirit saving her, she had to admit that there was nothing else that could've done that. Especially since she saw George's spirit. It was eerie, yet calming.
She wiped a tear from her eyes. The Tusaine event was like a closing in that chapter of her life and the completing of a goal that she had not intended to have. She had proven that she could handle her magic against a mage. All she had to now was to prove that she could be a good queen. Until then, she could practice being a good wife to Jon and a future mother. When the time came, of course.
^_^*~*~*~*~*THE END*~*~*~*~*^_^
Omg. Yes, it is over. The end. *sobs* I can't believe it's over. I never thought of the ending. I'm sorry, but this is such an emotional moment for me. This fic means soo much to me. Wow, this last author's note is soo lame. Anyway, *takes deep breath* I can't promise you that there will be a sequel. I'll try to write one, but I would like to work on my other fics and wrap a few up. I know I might have said to someone about Liam being in here. Now, I don't know if I'm going to write a sequel, but if I do, I'll be sure to put him in. I have it in my head for a sequel, but not right away and that may like never happen. I would write a epilogue, but then if I write a sequel then I have to work with the epilogue and stuff. So, no, no epilogue.
Another question that came up was what about Alanna's first duty as Jon's wife was to have Jon's children. Now, I don't think I'm qualified enough to do the whole pregnant thing. Also, it didn't work into the plot very well. If I had put it in then it would there would have been too many things going on at once.
Anyway, I would like to thank EVERYONE who read this story. My thank yous are as followed:
Thank yous for reviewers of the previous chapter:
moon: See above.
clarylissa: I'm always odd. I'm glad you like it. I love to turn the tables and surprise people.
Lady Katherine: Thanks soo much!
Keita: You can deal with the "cheesy-ness." I write what I feel like writing. It was a closing for George. I had to think of a different way for Alanna to be saved and that's what hit me.
Chibi-Chingo: I don't understand this O.o. stuff.
Faithful: Thank you sooooo much! That is one of the nicest reviews I've ever gotten! I'm so glad you like the way it fits. I'm surprised it works well too!
Elspeth: Thank you!
Liger and Lady Queenscove: No public beheading.
Christa: Nope! Don't like him! Muahhahahhaha! Thanks!
Thanks you to all who reviewed (I'm lost. It seems like not all of my reviews are present. Not the first ones at least. Arrrgggghh!) In (..) are the number of times that person reviewed. I'm curious so I'm checking. If they don't have a number, they only reviewed once.
Thank you all! I'm putting you here so you know who you are! You made this story! You made me want to write! Brava or bravo (for the boys) to you!
