A/N: I want to thank Darkzdragon for helping me write the chapter.

We made our way outside of the chief's hut and Luna begins showing me around her village. She showed me their school, where their hunter's plan their trips. She showed me what I guess you could call their bakery, it was just a large handmade stone oven. We saw the butcher's hut which had meat hanging from a rack and well as a chopping block for the meat. We then saw what I guessed was the shaman's hut that was surrounded by many different herbs and flowers. All the while during our tour the villagers were giving me glares that were so full of hatred that if felt like I would burst into flames any second.

"So anything else to show me on this very detailed tour?" I ask after pass the shaman's hut. I looked up and noticed that the sun was starting to set.

"Well I have to show where you will sleep." Luna says as she lightly tugs on my chain. I follow her line of sight and see a group of villagers standing there talking among themselves and pointing at me with disgusted looks on their muzzles.

We arrive at a sturdy looking building with a barred door that looks like it is locked from the outside. I guessed that it was where captives were kept. Luna opened the door and what I saw inside actually surprised me. There was straw spread on the floor which gave me the biggest surprise, I had thought I was going to have to sleep directly on the ground. Besides the straw on the floor there was also what looked like a makeshift table and a rickety stool.

"Honestly it's nicer than I thought it was going to be." I chuckle

She leads me inside and takes the chains off my shackles "Will be back soon. Grab food for you" she says as she walks out and closes the door behind her, locking the door.

Almost as soon as she is out of sight a group of keidran come up to the door and start talking amongst themselves. At one point I was sure they were laughing as they pointed at me. One of them even decides to throw a rock at me which hits me square on the forehead, making me grunt in pain. 'Ow! These guys are real asshole' I think to myself as I grab at my forehead to make sure it isn't bleeding. When I bring my hand back down I am relieved that there is no blood.

I see them scatter and not even ten seconds later Luna appears at the door holding a plate of scraps. When she walks in she notices the bump on my head and puts the plate of food down on the makeshift table.

She lifts my head to get a better look at my injury. "What happen?" She asks as she lightly rubs the bump that was forming on my forehead.

"Well I guess some Keidran thought it would be funny to throw a rock at my head." I say as I hold up the rock that hit me.

"I sorry, let me know if it becomes worse. I sorry I not able to bring more food. Villagers would question" she says motioning to the plate of scraps.

"It's ok Luna. I know you are doing all you can for me and I truly appreciate it." I say, honestly appreciative of what she is doing for me.

"I start teach to you keidran language tomorrow" she says as she backs up and looks at me. "No worry, I keep your stuff safe. Will be back at sunrise. Sleep well." She says before she heads back out, closing and locking the door once again.

"Good night Luna." I say knowing she was too far away to hear me.

A few minutes after Luna left I decided I should eat and get to sleep, because something was telling me that tomorrow was going to be an extremely long day.

(The following morning)

I woke up to the warmth of sunshine hitting my face and the sound of birds chirping. I sat up slowly and rubbed my face which caused a slight tinge of pain. At first I wonder what the pain is from until I remember one of the villagers threw a rock at me. I get up off the ground and stretch before picking pieces of straw out of my hair.

Not even ten minutes after I woke up, I heard someone at the door unlocking it. I couldn't see who it was at first cause the sun was practically shining directly into my eyes.

Once they enter I can tell it's Luna with a plate of food and what look like scrolls and a small old fashioned chalkboard.

"You sleep nice?" She asked with a smile on her muzzle as she puts the plate of food down on the table. She walks over to the door and says something to someone in their language. Then I hear the door get relocked.

She looks and sees my curious expression "So you don't 'escape' from cage" she says using air quotes when she says escape.

As I start to eat she sets up the blackboard and piles up the scrolls. After I finish off my plate she starts to write down what look like letters on the chalkboard.

We both turn towards the door when we start to hear someone unlocking it.

(Luna's POV)

'I told the guard to let nobody in!' I thought to myself as I stared at the opening door.

Once the figure enters the door I am almost filled with anger.

"What do you want Ethel? I am training my new slave." I snap at him angrily.

"It is futile to teach a lesser being like him how to read and write. You should just teach him the basic commands." Ethel states as he walks over to the blackboard and knocks it over. "Woops I am so sorry" he says sarcastically.

"I will teach my slave how I like. So unless you have something important, leave" I say as I point to the door.

Ethel slyly smirks at me "Now is that any way to talk to your betrothed?"

As soon as he says the word betrothed I bare my teeth at him and give a low growl.

"You know if I had a choice we wouldn't be getting married. Now either tell me why you came here or GET OUT!" I say loudly, letting my rage show.

"I came here to tell you that your father and I agreed that we would wed in a month from now." He says with one of the most evil grins I have ever seen on his muzzle.

As my mind registers what he says I walk over to him and slap him square on his muzzle. "GET OUT!" I yell at the top of my lungs, pushing him towards the door.

"I hope you lose that attitude when we get wed… and that pathetic excuse for a slave" Ethel says, as he rubs where I slapped him, motioning to Sam, before he walks out the door and closes it behind him.

'AHHHH I hate that idiot! I wish my father saw him for what he really was. I'm going to have to have a word with my father later' I think to myself before I calm myself and I turn back towards Sam who already picked back up the blackboard.

(Sam's POV)

"I sorry for that" Luna says as she looks to me with her ears lowered.

"So Luna are you really marrying that ass?" I ask after watching everything that just happened.

"Sadly yes. He and chief give month before wedding…" She said sighing and rubbing her temple from the headache that Ethel had most likely caused her.

"I think you deserve better Luna. Ethel, or whatever his stupid name is, doesn't treat you like he should." I say which gets a small giggle from Luna.

"Oh, so you know how to treat woman?" She asks with a large smile on her muzzle, her ears perked up and her tail moving back and forth slightly

I begin to feel the blood rush to my cheeks as I start scratching the back of head nervously. "Um well... I um…"

Luna starts to break out in laughter at my reaction to her question.

"You cute when you nervous" she says as she finishes laughing.

"Sadly it is arranged so I stuck with him" she says, her smile instantly disappearing. "Let us get back to teaching" she says her smile reforming just as quickly as it had disappeared.

(Two long weeks of teaching later)

"Would you like some lake master?" I say in keidran, trying to speak the sentence Luna had given me.

She looks at me laughing "You said lake when word is water" she says in english, slowly shaking her head while softly laughing.

"Would you like some water master?" I say again, hoping my second try was more successful than my first.

Suddenly Luna jumps and wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a hug "You did it! I am so proud." She exclaims happily.

I wrap my arms around her returning the hug "Well I did have the best teacher possible." I say happy with all the progress I made over the past two weeks.

Over the past two weeks Luna taught me so much that I am practically fluent in their language, and can read and write in their language as well. These days we mostly talk in her language so I can have actual practice using the keidran language. She told me that now that I know their language she will be able to teach me everything else more easily.

After the first day of studying she had me start to help around the village. Small things like help chop wood or carry supplies to the elderly of the village. After the first week of helping out the village everyone started to grow used to my presence and some actually began to be kind to me, especially the little kits who were really interested in me. Luna and some of the villager even helped spruce up where I had been sleeping, so much so that I considered it my own hut.

On the second day of the lessons Luna took me to her hut to teach me since my little shack had little in it. It was a lot easier for me to study in there. Though one of the hunters kept a constant eye on me to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.

During the two weeks of my lessons I had somehow fallen in love with Luna. I know she was promised to Ethel

"So this world really has magic and dragons?" I ask, my mind thinking of the Eragon book series.

"Yup. Human templars can easily use magic. But us keidran have to use crystals to store energy in order to use magic. And yes there are dragons." She says giggling at my reaction.

"If you want I can teach you how we use infuse energy into crystals. But if you say you aren't from our world then you might not be able to use magic at all…" she says as she places her paw on my knee.

What I did next I shocked both me and her. I turned to Luna and suddenly started to kiss her on the lips. After a few seconds of kissing I back off and look her in the eyes. She has a shocked expression at first but it quickly changes to one of happiness before she pulls me into another kiss this time she slides her tongue into my mouth.

Not even two seconds after she starts to kiss me back she backs off and covers her muzzle with her paws, her eyes wide. "I am so sorry. I can't… I do like you… but I- I just can't" she says before she stands up and walks to the other side of her hut.

I look down at the ground ashamed of what I just did to Luna.

We sit there for a few minutes before I gather up enough courage to break the silence. "I am so sorry Luna that was wrong of me. I don't know what came over me." I say as I stand up walking to the door to her hut. "I think I will just head back to my hut for now" I say as I start to open the door.

"Wait Sam!" Luna says as she grabs my wrist "I forgive you and I understand. But you can't just leave in the middle of a lesson." She finishes as she lifts my head up making me look at her sincere smile.
