Chapter Seven
2 months later
They had just begun walking into the Mountain pass and it was chilly. They found a small cavern and set up camp there. Ming Mei watched Ling and Yao having too much fun watching their breaths in the cold atmosphere. She tightly wrapped her blanket around her, and cuddled in front of the roaring fire, minutes later she drifted off to sleep.
Ming Mei woke up in the middle of the night, feeling dizzy; she wasn't sure if it was because of the cold, or if she was getting a cold, but she didn't think much of it, so she laid back down to sleep.
Ming Mei woke up to the sound of Ling tripping over his own shoes and crashing into some logs.
"Ouch! Oof! Aaah" Ling exclaimed
"There's a log right there" Yao said rubbing the remaining logs together to make a fire.Ling looked up and glared at Yao, as he brushed off his clothes. Ming Mei stretched and yawned as she slowly got up.
"Good Morning Young Li" Chien Po greeted
"Good Morning" Ming Mei replied
"Rice?" Yao asked holding out a bowl of rice in front of Ming Mei.
"No thank you" She said shaking her head. The 3 soldiers looked at Ming Mei as if she was nuts.
"Ming Mei are you alright?" Ling asked her to make sure
"Yes, I'm fine why wouldn't I be?"
"Well for one, you never say no to rice" Yao answered
"I guess I'm just not hungry"
"Well…okay"
Ming Mei got up to give her horse more water. She stood around for awhile holding her head because it seemed that everything around her was spinning, and then she realized someone had been calling her name.
"Ming, Ming, are you sure you're alright?" Chien Po asked concerned
"Yes, I'm fine just stood up too fast that's all" Ming Mei replied. "Come along boys, we still have a long way to go". The 3 soldiers looked at each other and shrugged. They followed her back to the site and packed up their things. Ming Mei began to put her things on Jiao; she lastly placed the blanket on Jiao and sighed. She walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked towards the horizon. The cold wind blew her black hair around, and stung her skin. 'Oh father where are you?' Ming Mei thought to herself. She headed back when she didn't hear anymore noise.
She climbed on top of Jiao and the 4 of them continued with the journey.

"Mulan? MULAN?!" Mushu called out "Mulan where are you?!"
Mushu listened closely to hear a response, but no response was heard. After the attack of the Mongols, the 2 got separated. Crikee looked up at Mushu worried "chiiiirp, chiiiirp"
"No, Crikee Mulan can't be-…no" Mushu answered
"Chirp, chiiiirp"
"I hope not. If she got captured China will be in danger"
