Chapter 2: Unexpected Trouble
Jack and me had only been on duty for an hour at the most and Celebron had taken my place up on the wall with Apellus while Kelebron and Phelius went to rest and pack for our hunting trip tomorrow.
Jacked sighed deeply and I glanced to my side at him. He looked around one more time, "I think it's safe to say nothing is going happen tonight."
I nod and sigh as I lean against the wall next to the door and Jack does the same.
We jerk from our relaxed casual positions when Kelebron sprints down the hall to us calling our names.
"Jack! Jules!" he said reaching us.
"Shhh... calm down. Gosh Kelebron, do you want to wake up the whole city?" I whispered angerly, clearly annoyed at how loud he was, especially since we were right outside the king's bedroom door.
"What on earth can be so urgent for you to be running around at this hour? Aren't you suppose to be asleep getting rest for tomorrow?" asked Jack with an eyebrow raised.
"No... well yes... but I had to tell you guys." Kelebron said stumbling over his words.
"Tell us what?"
"Yes spit it out already." I said getting rather tired of this game.
"You know how you guys decided to not-"
"Silenco!" I cut him off. "Fi er'ouy gniog ot yas gnihtemos kaeps hsivle ro rou egaugnal.***"
"Goheno nin*." said Kelebron looking down embaressed at almost slipping.
"mhm, well do continue with your news."
"Dasia and Dalion are going to be taken to a little town miles from here and sold tomorrow afternoon."
I had a look of panic. "What?! They aren't suppose to go anywhere for a week at least!"
Jack wears a worried expression. "Why all the sudden did they change their minds?"
"Who knows? I think someone offered to pay double if they were brought sooner, I don't know I didn't stick around long enough to find out."
"We have to bring them tomorrow."
"Wait a minute Jules, I thought we agreed we wouldn't do anything on our trip tomorrow." Said Jack seriously.
"We did but we can't just let them be sold, we don't have the time or resources right now to get them from a private owner in a town miles away from here."
"We can't."
"Yes we can."
"No."
"Jack why are you being so difficult?"
"I think we need to talk about it first before deciding anything."
I sighed angrily. "Fine, have it your way. Kelebron, get Keno or Canon up here and then tell the others we're having a meeting...now."
"But it's the middle of the ni-"
"NOW."
"Alright, alright," says Kelebron taking a step back and putting hands up surrending, " But they won't be too happy about."
"Does it look like I care?" I said not even trying to hide my anger.
"Well-"
Jack could see my eyes narrow and puts an arm between me and Kelebron. "Kelebron ego."
"But Jack-"
"Go." Jack looked at him sternly and Kelebron sighef in defeat and turned around on his heel heading back down the hallway.
[All of was spoken in elvish, I didn't translate it all so you would be able to read it, look at the bottom for a side note.]
Jacked sighed and dropped his arm down and looked to me.
He didn't say anything, he just stared at me and I stared back. After awhile he broke the silence.
"You calmed down now?"
I sighed, "Yes."
"So do you mind telling me what that was?"
"What what was?"
"Oh come on, what just happened. What's wrong with you? You've never snapped at Kelebron before, no matter how annoying he gets."
I had to admit, he had a point. "I.. I don't know." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
"Well it has to be something."
"Like I said, I don't know. Lately I've just felt edgy, I don't like what's happening."
"What's happening?" Jack raised his eyebrow at me.
"That's exactly it! I don't know, that's what bugs me."
Jack shaked his head and smiled. "You can't know everything Jules."
"I know, I just like to be aware of things that are going on or happening."
Jack nodded, "Yeah well could you at least keep your head cool during this meeting? We need to talk about this and think this through if we expect to make the right decision."
"You're right, as always..." I mumbled the last part. "I'll try.'
"That's all I'm asking. Let's get going then, I'm sure they're all down there waiting."
I nodded in acknowledgement and we left right after Keno and Canon came up to take our places.

*I'm sorry.
***The JACKAF group has 3 different languages besides elvish/Common speech. The only is to say the syllables backwards like shown in the chapter, the other is to mix up the letters in the word expect for the first and last one, and the third is a mix of several different languages with some of their own modifications made to them.***
Hey guys! Hope you liked the chapter, it's a little short and I know it seems like it's slow but it's about to speed up a ton so bear with me. ;) I'll be trying to update this once a week, possibly more if I can. Comment if you like where this is going and want more or have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
Navaer Mellons,
~Jules
