Disclaimer: I have a dream...Yet I still don't own anything that you might recognize, but the story line is all mine! Enjoy...

It was a windy night, and Alan couldn't sleep. It was bad enough that Aly had Koreen while she was staying, and Koreen liked to scream and cry a lot, (She was 7months) and Alan was getting sick of it. His knight master was staying with them so he could spend time with his sister and niece, but to be perfectly honest he would rather spend time sitting in the mud. He sat up in his bed and groaned, Koreen was screaming again, and he was sick of it. He swung himself out of the bed and pulled on some clothes and snuck outside. He saddled up Swiftfoot, his horse, and quietly they went out of the buildings walls. "Finally" he breathed, and swung himself up into the saddle and urged Swiftfoot into a canter as he rode into the forest.

He was grinning as he rode, enjoying the fresh air on his face and the freedom, but he could tell Swiftfoot was getting tired so he slowed, "Sorry boy, but I needed to get out" he told his horse, who's sides were heaving from being pushed into every insane thing that Alan had seen. Suddenly he heard a sound, it was so tiny he could of imagined it, but he decided to check anyway. Sliding off Swiftfoot he carefully stepped towards the trees that the sound had come from...He peered around and stared.

A girl was curled up at the base of a tree, shivering in the cold, but obviously asleep. Alan quickly ran over to her and shook her gently, "Are you ok?" he asked, She stared at him, her eyes wide, he gently took her hands and helped her to her feet, then half carrying her he took her to his horse and helped her up, then getting behind her, they started to ride back to Pirate's Swoop.

When they got back Alan ran upstairs and woke his parents. Grumbling Alanna and George followed their son down the stairs and into the kitchen where the girls was sitting. As they entered the room she looked up at them, and Alan could finally get a good look at her. She had fair skin, long straight black hair, and amazing deep green eyes. Her mouth was full and red, and she was tall and slim. Alanna and George stared, "Uh, Alan, could you please explain?" said Alanna wearily, rubbing her eyes to get the sleep out of them.

"Well" he began, "I went for a ride and I found her in the forest, and, uh, well, I bought her back here" He paused and looked at his parents, "I couldn't leave her out there, its freezing" His parents nodded, and Alanna turned and looked at the girl, "well, do you speak? Where did you come from? Whats your name? How old are you? What..." She stopped the list of questions as George laid a hand on her shoulder, and looked patiently at the girl.

She looked at them intently, as if she could see into their very souls, then she answered, "Yes, I do speak, My name is Arianna, I'm 18, and I came from a long way away." She smiled at them, and then yawned widely, "Sorry, it's just I didnt get much sleep in the forest, it was rather noisy" She grinned at Alan, "Thank you for bringing me here by the way" she added.

Alanna and George looked at each other, They knew very little about her, but they couldn't just send her out into the cold. "You can sleep in the loft in the stable if you would like" said Alanna, "its warm, and dry, and the only spare place we have at the moment." Arianna looked at her, then carefully nodded, "yes, thank you, that would be nice." With that Alan lead her out to the stable and Alanna and George went back to bed, a lot more on their minds than they wanted.

OK, I know its short, but I'm still new at this, Please review any ideas you might have. Thank ya.
