Thank you all for reviewing and adding this to your favorites and alerts. It makes me feel special- which my friend already point out on a day to day basis, but you don't know me so I feel even more special.

3 WEEKS LATER

Bella POV

I used to like camping but I guess that was in the royal woods were there are no wild animals. So far on our journey we have encountered 3 wolves, 2 bears, and a mountain lion. Emmett killed the, but I have a gash on my leg from the lion, and Emmett got mauled by the bears before he killed them, also the wolves killed the pack mule that we had bought so we didn't have to carry the stuff anymore. The good news is that we passed the border, so we have to find the roads and maybe join a group going to the capital.

"Bella, it's time to go."

"I don't want to. We will never make it there alive at this rate."

"Stop being a grouch. Do you want to go back and get married?"

"No but can't we stay here for another day."

"No, we need to get to the border as quickly as possible. Once we get into Darsen we can stay in the first town we get to. So get your lazy butt up and get moving." I glared at him, but obeyed. He had gone hunting before I got up, so he was working on making a meal. Meaning I got to pack up camp. I had to shake out the blankets and make sure there were no bugs on them, then I had to collect water for us to drink for the day. Our schedule only included one rest during the day, and that was to relieve ourselves, not to eat or drink.

"I'm gonna go fill the canteens." I walked in the direction I had gone to get water the night before. About five minutes later I arrived at a creek, but I stopped because someone was already there. She looked very petite, and had the strangest hair. It was pitch black and cut short, causing it to stick out in every direction. All of the sudden her head snapped up and she stared straight at me.

"Hello." She stood up and wiped the dirt off her hands and dress.

"Uh, hi."

"Are you going to the capital?" She seemed like a nice person, but appearances can be deceiving.

"Maybe, why would you want to know?" She started to laugh. And I didn't know why.

"Do you think I am going to rob you or something?" Actually I had.

"Well you can't be to careful. Are you going to the capital?"

"Yep, me and my brother. Oh and I am Alice by the way." She stepped over the creek and came over to where I was standing.

"I'm Bella. And I am going to the capital with my brother to."

"Great we could travel together, and there would be more protection. We got attacked by so many animals. Did you two get attacked?"

"Yeah, I have a gash on my leg from a mountain lion, and Emmett, my brother, got a couple of chunks ripped out of his arm from a bear. Where are you coming from?" For an instant, her face got a scared look. But it went away so quickly, I didn't even know if I had gotten the emotion right.

"Oh I'm from Centriol." That was my country. "Where are you from?" I'm sure my face had the same scared expression for a second.

"Orin." That was the country I would have ruled, but I couldn't say Centriol or she might figure out that I am the princess.

"Hey you should go get your brother and I'll go get mine, and we can meet here. And then we could travel together." She gave me a hug, which was really weird, I mean I had just met her. And only my brother had ever hugged me before, in a friendly way. Because the people who I had to greet would give me hugs, but that was the custom. She ran off, and I decided to go get Emmett, so he could decide whether or not we should travel with them.

"Hey Emmett. I w-"

"Can I have the water?"

"No, but way to cut me off."

"Oh I thought you were done talking, sorry. But why can't I have the water?"

"Will you let me talk? OK so I went to the creek to get some water and-"

"Did you get attacked?"

"Let me finish my story, you idiot. So at the creek there was a girl getting water. And she is going to the capital to, so we decided we could travel together. But I want you to go meet her brother so you can decide if he is trustworthy."

"So I just have to stop everything I am doing to go meet some guy?"

"You are done with everything, and you were waiting for me to get back so we could leave."

"So."

"Let's go so they don't think we aren't coming and leave." I grabbed the food bag and got on my horse. I had to wait for Emmett, because his arms were not completely healed yet, so he struggled to get on his horse."

Hope you liked it. PLEASE REVIEW. Next chapter will be up by 12 tomorrow of I get 1 new review. You might have to wait longer if there are none, because I write faster when I know for a fact that people want to read my stories. And please read my other story- New Kid. Thanks again.
