Alright here is chapter 3 for ya'll.

As soon as she heard her own words, she froze. Surely she had spoken out of turn when she had replied to the Ranger.

"Are you sure?" Sir Rodney asked, "A female has never been in the Ranger corps before. Not saying you couldn't hack it just saying that you are going to be faced with a lot of difficulties."

"My liege, I understand that and I go into this freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion. I will do what is required of me I assure you," she seemed to add with a small air of arrogance.

The Ranger just looked at her. She could see a smirk across his face. Something told her she was going to learn to hate that smirk.

"I am sure you do…" then he added under his breath, "For now at least."

Next was her long time friend Braxton who was easily accepted into battle school along with the bully they had grown up with Horace.

Then came the boy that Avina knew as Will. She hoped that he got Battle School. For she knew how deeply he had yearned for that. even with his disadvantage of height and weight. He would hit his growth spurt just like everyone else. Of this she was sure.

"State your name," the secretary stated.

"Will."

"Will what don't you have a last name boy?"

"Will is a special case," Sir Rodney interjected.

"What is your choice?"

"Battle school."

To this the battle school instructor told him no and Avina knew after will had been denied his second post that he would probably end up in the field. However, when Sir Rodney was given a piece of Paper by the Ranger Halt, she instantly knew what would probably happen. Everyone knew that even though Avina was one of the best at unseen movement. Will was one of the best at climbing and stealing cupcakes, pies and what not from master chubs kitchen.

"Very well... Apprentices, report to your Crafts masters tomorrow morning at eight."

Avina followed her now former Ward mates, and Braxton stepped back to fall in line with her. She noticed that Baron Arald was talking to the Ranger who would be her master for the next several years.

""Are you crazy?" Braxton exploded, taking Avina's attention off their conversation. "A Ranger? What were you thinking? You know they're Black Magicians!"

Avina replied, " I don't know if their black magicians or not. I think it may have to do with their cloaks. However, if I do become a black magician I could always come find you and make you into a dog for me to keep."

"Really a dog, well beats having to work on a farm like Will probably will have to..."

She gave him a look that would turn most been to stone as they stepped outside, " Do not make fun of that poor boy. At least we have a last name and know where we hail from. They poor guy doesn't even know his last name," she stated bluntly.

"I didn't mean it like that." He apologized.

She sighed and looked up, feeling the temptation again to roll her eyes. "So you must be glad about getting into Battle school."

His eyes lit up and he turned around talking along the way, assuming that Avina was following. She wasn't. She waited for a few moments before taking a step back and then ran back inside the building.

"Avina, are you listening to me?" Braxton turned around and took in the building and outstretched door. He smirked when he realized what she was doing.

"Avina, you're going to be a great Ranger." He chuckled and turned around.

When she was sure that Braxton and the rest were gone, she slipped out of the building and glided across the grass to get to the other side. She knew it was broad daylight, but she was going to have to risk it. She slowly crept out of the front of the castle moving and trying to not be seen. She moved silently though the court yard avoiding the few sentries that were posted. When she heard a Argument that caught her attention. Slowly she crept over to a window and crept into it. She followed the sound and moved along side a door. She heard the distinctive voice of the Baron.

.

"She's a girl! What were you thinking John!" the Baron went on.

"Makes it easier for her to go places that we can not. Think about it. She could pose as any number of things. She could use her looks to get past guards, or use her looks to infiltrate enemy castles while their lords are having a feast."

"I don't understand! Hasn't it been only a year since George left?"

"Surely you don't want her to work in the fields?"

"Of course not. But I am concerned about the child's safety."

Silence.

"It will be dangerous and hard for a girl. She won't be as strong as a boy."

"Trust me, after I am done with her she'll be stronger than most of your knights. Besides she already sneaky enough to listen to this conversation," Turning his head to the door Avina was hiding behind, " Come in her girl I know your there."

Avina's head shot up and she opened the door walking in completely stunned. Then as she raised her head to look at the Ranger her eyes met his brown ones. She heard the Baron exclaim something, but she was only focused on Will. She felt a spasm of fear and that frightened her even more, but she would never let it show. This was a man who could kill someone before the person even realized they were dead. Baron Arald stared at John. "How did you know she was there."

"As silent as she though she was I heard her coming like you would hear a man in full armor."

"This took her back quite a bit. She had thought she was great at moving unheard, but to be compared to a fully armored man. That was something new.

Avina raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the Ranger had predicted her arrival.

"She came after me in the woods," he began to explain, "I heard her stumbling throughout it. Mind you not as loud as you usually do, but still pretty loudly. When I heard the same type of pattern outside the door. I knew that it could either be Halt or her and since Halt is better at moving unheard it left me with only once choice."

"In the woods?"

"Yes my lord, She was walking about trying to test her skills against me once she realized I was out there watching her."

"What were you doing in the forest in the first place?" He asked. She didn't expect that.

"She passing my test." John added quickly.

"Test?" Avina and the Baron asked.

"Of course."

The Baron sighed. "Very well. I will respect both of your decisions. Not that you would care?" He lightly joked.

John said nothing. Avina just stood shocked. She couldn't believe her luck not only was she going to get what she had wanted, but she would be able to leave this fief! She could hardly control herself. Ever since she got stuck here she wanted to leave. Infact it was one of the many reasons she always wandered out into the forest at night.

"Report to my cabin tomorrow at six." John said suddenly and without another word, he quietly walked to the door and slipped away, making no sound.

Well now this is different from Yona rider originally wrote by far. As ya'll can now see I will not be giving her Halt as her mentor. Instead I am going to give her a man by the name of John . Now, I will be following the general outline of what the author originally did in purpose to the story ark. Also I hope I am making the character not into a merry sue so much. Also since I forgot to post it before I do not claim to own Ranger's Apprentices series. Nor do I own the outline and the main character of this story up to chapter 21 after that everything is my own idea completely as well as any character devolvement. Till next time, wpago out.
