My second WoT fic. Basically it's about a girl who isn't all that excited about Logain coming to Caemyln, and is getting strange vibes about it all. It was ment to be a one-parter, but if it sounds like it should be more and you want me to cont' please tell me and I'll see what I can do!

Running Away…

She walked down the streets with care; but it was hard. She felt like a fish fighting the current. Everybody in the crowd wanted to go the opposite way as she. Every man, woman and child; every bloody foreigner and every native citizen; every Queen-supporter and non. It sickened her. So many people from all over the country – and other countries – came to see a man in a cage. She shivered. A dangerous man in a cage… Being watched by more of them Aes Sedai. Aes Sedai of the Red Ajah. Even she, who had nothing to fear from them – despised them.  She shivered. There was an odd… feeling in the sky today. It seemed that she was the only one to feel it. But it was there.

As she got further from the Inner City she felt better. The crowds were lesser here, ha! By about 10 men! Logain is a false Dragon, one that can channel, he's unsafe, not some sort of… of… amusement!!

As she entered her room – if you could call it that, it was a small cubby that she was allowed to use if she made herself useful around the inn, so she worked as a hostess and a flute-player – she still felt that feeling. It was starting to bug her now. She couldn't seem to think clearly with it there.

"Tasasha!" the innkeeper banged on her door, "Tasasha! Are you in there?!"

"Yes, Master Gill."

"Where have you been? Did you get what I sent you for?" he walked right into her little room.

"No, sorry, the crowds were too thick. Everyone wants to see the false Dragon."

"A false Dragon or no, I have a inn to run, I expect to see you in the common room in 10!"

She nodded. Before not too long ago false Dragons were rare, and here there's been four in the past decade! Four! Maybe this ment the Dark One's seals were weakening… She'd been having terrible dreams lately. Sometimes what happened in her dreams had come true, like the one three days before it was announced Logain would come, and then the crowds on his coming. She even thought she saw the face of the true Dragon Reborn – he looked like an Aielman. She hoped these dreams weren't true.

"Light, please let them not be true!"
