Child Raising!
Lady Bec
Disclaimer: I don't own Ranger's apprentice.
Ok everyone so I decided that Gilan Graduated when Will was 10 or so, so approximately when Gilan started training Will was around 5 or 6 and Gilan is 12 because he started training early and it makes the age gap between him and Jenny smaller. I know I'm bad! :P
Ranger's Apprentice
Gilan paused; not for the first time, he couldn't help but think that if the ranger he was following found out that he was following him, he would be so dead. So he kept to the shadows he had always been good at avoiding being seen. Now he hoped that this ability would help him find out more about the mysterious Ranger.
He made it half way to the Rangers house keeping quite and slithering on behind him when suddenly Ranger Halt disappeared! Gilan paused unsure what to do then slowly continued forward. Maybe he had gone around a tree or something and was just out of his sight. He crept forward until he was where the Ranger was last seen. Where could he have gone? He had been right here! Gilan paused turning around in a circle in hopes of finding any sign of where the man could have gotten too.
As he finished his circle he jumped in surprise right in front of him was the Ranger just inches from him!
"How did you do that!" Was Gilans' surprised yelp. As he stared in horror at the Ranger all the while noticing that he was actually nearing his height.
"Can I help you Gilan?" Halt asked as he looked up and down at his old friends son who had been following him. Although he had to admit that he had been doing a very good job at it for someone who had no training.
"I was just," Gilan paused not quite knowing how to say what he had been doing without causing trouble for himself. "taking a stroll through the woods, seeing the sights, I have never been out here before. Oh look a squirrel." Was all he came up with and pointed up into the trees hoping that it would give him enough time to run away.
"That is a chipmunk Gilan and that has nothing to do with the fact that you were following me through the forest." Halt said with a completely strait face and nearly laughed as the young man in confusion looked up into the trees to see the animal that he had just made up. By the time the conversation was over Halt had decided that he had found his first apprentice. At the same time he had just found his first babysitter too.
After the first few days of having an apprentice Halt was sitting with his feet up as Gilan played with Will keeping him busy while scrubbing the pots. That was when he decided that having an apprentice was really, really fun.
AN: Hi everyone! I'm back! Sorry it was so late when I finally updated this I started reading the first book with my youngest brother so it has been a lot of Bec lets read! Not a lot of time for writing. I didn't get nearly as many reviews or hits as I normally do which sort of made me sad. The hits more so than the reviews I mean people didn't even look at my story! To answer some questions…
Will does not start his training until he is fifteen but the story behind that is going to be the ending to my story.
Jenny does live at the Ward later on but she does remember her mom so her parents died later on.
In the last chapter Will had Colic.
I think that answers all the questions I got asked and thank you everyone for being so kind to me!
