Chapter 20. Cambryn's P.O.V.
It took both Cambryn and Reign to make it back to Teiglach's keep. He had an uneasy feeling on regarding Bella's safety and well-being.
"Are we almost there?"
He shouted to Reign, who was riding ahead of him, but no comment made it back to him, for the wind was too strong. Finally, the McKenzie Keep's high turrets came into view from the thick fog, and Cambryn breathed a sigh of relief, as he was just a few hoofbeats away from his love. When their horses paraded into the bailey, I quickly got off my horse and ran the rest of the way into the great hall. Suddenly I heard a scream, which sounded like Bella. I took out my sword out of its scabbard and brushed past the doors that led to the inner hall. I had just came into the room only to see, Teiglach thrusting his sword through an unknown man's chest. The fear that he saw on Bella's face as she clutched tightly to Maggie, made him feel like running to her side and embracing her. I was about to do that, but soon realized that Teiglach beat him to it.
He silently made his way to Belanna's side, then I saw the look on Bella's fathers face. We both exchanged knowing glances. So seeing him nod his head at me, Teiglach relinquished his hold on his daughter and granddaughter and motioned for me to take his place in embracing them.
Bella could easily tell the difference, that someone else was holding on to her, and when she looked up at his face, she gasped with shock and gave him a smile of love.
"Oh. Cambryn..., you're here. Oh, my darling, I am so glad that you are here with me."
She said as she burst into tears. However our happy reunion was interrupted by a moan that came from Kellan. She immediately pushed herself away from me and called for her father to hold onto Maggie while she went over to see if she could heal her son.
"Cambryn, please help me in carrying Kellan up the stairs and to the nursery, I must see to his injury!"
I gathered little Kellan into my arms and followed Bella up the stairs and towards the nursery. I then gently laid him on the bed and watched her get to work. However, I could see, that even though I knew that she was an amazing healer, her worries for Kellan was compromising her in making him feel better. I also noticed that while they stood within the nursery, that Reign was standing in its threshold bending over her. I placed my hand on Belanna's shoulder and gathered her into my arms, and silently motioned for Reign to come into the room and take over for Bella.
"Be at ease, my love. You're too anxious to care for him at this moment, let Reign give it a try."
I said as I brushed away her tears and kissed her on the lips. Bella nodded and sighed. She then turned to Reign and giving her a smile she let her take over. But just as she and Cambryn were about to leave the room, she turned back around and spoke to her.
"Please let me know when he awakens. I am tired. This has been a most trying day." Then turning back to me, she held up her hands and caressed my face, and smiled up at me with her eyes.
" Cambryn my love, when can we put this all behind us and get married?"
She said as she looked up at him. I grinned and laughed softly.
"Soon my love. Soon."
