A/N: Hallo my pretties! Thanks for coming back for the next chapter! As you will notice, it's now written in third person.

I'm throwing some lovely internet cookies your way! Thanks to everyone who's favourited and followed, your support means soooooo much to me! R and R! You guys are awesome! *Mwhah*
Chapter 3 (Jael)
"Come on sleepy head, it's time to get up!" A gentle voice sang, accompanied by a not so gentle shoulder shake. Rebekah groaned as she rolled onto her side stiffly.
"Mel?" The young American opened her eyes and saw her friend's familiar face, framed with loose strands of blonde hair.
"No, remember. Your Jael and I'm…." A smile split Melanie's face as she paused, waiting for Jael to correctly finish the sentence.
"Ashryn, right. Sorry." Jael smiled cheekily, testing her new name in her mind. She stood up stiffly, pushing and errant strand of short brown hair away from her face, tucking it behind her pointy ear.
Wait a minute….. Jael paused to think. Something didn't feel right here…..
Oh! Oh!
HER POINTY EAR? Was she an…
"Elf? I'm an elf, a real elf!" Jae cried, running her fingertips over her ears.
"Wonderful deduction. I'm sure that Ace Attorney person would hire you on the spot" Ashryn teased. Typically Rebekah would protect Ace at all costs, (that game was her baby) but she was a little too excited due to her 'recent discovery'. She glanced down at herself. She wore light brown leggings, dark brown knee high boots, a tan coloured tunic, reaching to her mid thigh, topped with a long purple vest hanging loosely past the tunic's hem. A crystalline star shaped clasp secured a hooded lavender cloak round her shoulders, and a tall, gnarled, wooden staff was nestled in her hand, silver-veined Elvish runes running up and down it's length.
She reached and felt her hair. It was still short, barely touching her shoulders, and it complimented her ears. She giggled at that thought. She was an elf, and she was obviously having a hard time getting over that fact. In her hair was a silver circlet, most of it hidden under her hair, with a bit peeking out on her forehead.
Ash smiled. "You look great Jae. And you're an elf so double the points."
Jael glanced at her friend. She took in the short brown shrug boots, loose dark blue pants with a flared Arabian style, the silver chain main, overtop of the slate blue tunic , the thin leather belt that wrapped round her waist twice, and the two daggers tucked into the belt. It was the cloak that caught Jael's attention, or rather, the lack of cloak. Nestlede around Ashryn's shoulders was a thick fur, clasped together at the front. It made her look both cozy and intimidating.
"Well you look great too! And your hair!" Jael exclaimed. Ashryn's hair was in a long braid that wrapped its way around her hair like a crown. It looked amazing.
"Thanks." Ash smiled self consciously, fingers gently touching her head. "Where exactly are we?" She questioned nervously, eyes darting around what appeared to be a darkened forest.
"Honestly?" Jael asked.
"Honestly."
"I haven't the faintest idea."
