~ Chapter Twelve ~
The Search
Jon shook his head. "She what!"
Gary nodded. "Elisia's going hysterical. I had to get one of the healers to bind her Gift. I don't even think she realised what he did."
Jon shook his head again. "How could she run away? You're positive that's what she did?"
"Had to be," Gary replied. "There's nothing in her room, her mount's gone, and so's her tack."
Jon sighed. "What are we going to do?" asked Gary.
Jonathan looked at him. "If we don't send someone out to find her, Elisia will go on her own." Gary shook his head vigorously.
"We can't have that."
"Exactly," Jon replied.

Alanna brushed Silver-streak thoroughly, saddled her and mounted up. She swept her new cat up from the ground and placed him between her legs. She rode off again.
Where exactly are you going? Asked the cat.
Alanna looked at it weirdly. "Did you just speak?" she asked.
You heard me, didn't you? It said.
Alanna shrugged. "I suppose."
Well? Do you know where we're headed?
"Not really," Alanna replied.
You are bad, leaving Elisia alone like that.
Alanna looked at it more strangely still. "How did you know about Elisia?"
The cat yawned. I just do.
Alanna just shrugged. She was in no mood to argue with a talking cat.
"Well I suppose if you're to stay with me, you need a name." When the cat didn't reply, she continued, "Hmm… what about 'Blackie'?" she asked, laughing at the cat's yowl of disagreement. "No, I'm not that cruel," Alanna said. "What about… Faithful?"
The cat rolled, looking up at Alanna. Again Alanna saw Faithful's bright purple eyes. I like "Faithful," it said.
"Good," Alanna said. "Because I'm not a good name thinker."

Elisia mounted up. "Hurry up," she urged Roaul and Gary. "She could be ages away by now!"
"Ok!" Gary cried, exasperated.
"Calm down," added Roaul.
They started off at a gallop. Jonathan watched them leave, a brown-haired, brown-grey eyed handsome young man standing beside him.
"D'you think they'll find her?" the man asked.
"Have to," Jonathan replied.
"Mm," replied the man.

**leaving you in suspense…** oh I know I'm cruel and I'm even worse by keeping them short chapters… takes you longer to see the ending and more time for to think of it!!!! And Mia, would you hurry up and read my bloody chapters!! (jeez, she's getting slack!) And could anyone tell me a dashing, exciting name for this handsome young man please? I got Cole's name from Charmed so we could either keep the tradition up and call him Leo, or rip off a name from another cool TV show. Xander? Does he even exist anymore? I haven't watched Buffy for AGES!!! Anyway just thinking aloud, it's very handy!!
