[Everything belongs to Tamora Pierce except Moonshadow, Cry and Lanna I have REALLY bad spelling so cope with me. {} means I'm talking, ' is Lanna talking to animals & animals talking to her and [ ] is someone's private thoughts. ]

They went at a nice slow pace, so it took them around a month to get near enough to corus, but on the camping before ariving, somethng was wrong, she made sure all her knives were in place, then they attacked, first they went for cry, they tied him up, while some were doing this they got Lanna off Moonshadow, she had to e careful with kelly, who started to cry the moment they attacked, unlucky for them, the goat got killed, so she attacked, she got 3 down before they got brave enough to get near her, when had another 5 down when there were only 5 left, she undid the ropes around cry with magic, then he went off chasing the man, she told him to keep one hostage, they all ran, but cry got one down faster than an eye blink, she went to the first down, cry holded him down, ready to pounce if he tried anything, but the guy looked so scared it was obvious he wouldn't do anything
"gods curse you darkness!" Lanna slapped him
"call down lad.."
"I am not a lad, I'm a man," but it was obvious he was no more than 14 years old
"fine, but why did you attack me?"
"we were getting gifts for Angel, her birthday is coming, we didn't have any loot that suited her, nothing is as great as her, so we were planning on getting your sword to give to her" Lanna had never heard of Angel
"who is this angel that you speak of? I've never heard of her" The man looked surprised
"never heard of her? where have you been these last couple of months?"
"lets see, I was hurt, healed, hurt again and healed again, it took awile, but then I saved a baby, saw her brother and sister die in front me, infrom me of what's been happening in the theif world and a shall let you go with a present for your angel" the guy looked relived
"well, she has a musical voice, and she saved his majesty, so he honored her by making her a thief, no one knows about her past more than she helped his magesty, she told him that her birthday was coming and he planned a big party at the dancing dove, it's obvious that he likes her, but he doen't say anything, heck, everyone of the theives has something for her, the way she looks, it's amazing" it was obvious that this man had something for her too, but he said that she had saved his majesty, and that no one knew where she had come from
"tell me why does no one know where she came from? and what is her real name?"
" no one knows besides his majesty and angel, they don't tell anyone, when we met her he introduced her as angel, but sometimes he calls her'becca" her eyes grew wide with wonder
"becca? really, say maybe I could get you there faster, but you're going to have to help me, imagine the place of the theives, that tavern place, I'm going to be a little weak after this but only for a couple of minutes" he did what she told him, and all of a sudden all of the colors around them mixed together, than they where right in front of the dancing dove.Lanna swayed a little, but she grabbed hold of moonshadow, the theif was ok, but he looked amazed
"wow, I never knew anyone could do that!" he looked at Lanna, then he ran inside, Rebecca came back, she gasped
"lanna, what happened to you, who is that baby, you didn't do anything did you? no that's not like you, let me help you in" Lanna smiled
"you've become talk active, tell me angel, when did you become the talk of the town after me?" Lanna grabbed kelly, and cry followed in, the kitten rode on cry, Rebecca noticed
"who is that cat? he looks beautiful" the kitten purred in delight, Lanna sat down at a table rebecca pionted
"him? that's a present for you, since I heard your birthday was coming, someone nearly killed this beauty trying to kill me" Lanna showed rebecca the baby, rebecca gasped, "her brother saved her, and I promised him I would take care of her, who has eveything been? I see you've become very popular, angel" she smirked, rebecca blushed
"well, I see you've become a mother darkness, what's her name? she looks very beautiful" as if kelly understood she cooed
"this beauty is kelly, I think she's around 6 months, we had a goat but it got killed, I was thinking of staying with you, so I could help out around here, but I see your in good hands" she nodded at william who had just come into the room, he looked at her and smilled
"well, look who we have here, we have darkness, how are you? everything ok?," he noticed kelly, "whose babe is that? you did't kill the mom by mistake did you?"
"no, raiders burned down the village, so I'm taking care of her," rebbecca was playing with the cat
"what's his name"
"oh, I didn't name him, I left that for you to do." rebecca looked shocked
"you didn't name him? he's how old and you didn't name him? well, your name will be creature, since you are one" Lanna got up,
"I must go then, I just need another goat" rebecca stood up
"you can't go yet, we haven't seen each other for so long and you're leaving now" Lanna sighed
"don't worry about it, I'll come around and visit, it's not like I have anything to do, but being around a city gives me the chills, I'll see you again, it's not like your going anywhere" but unknown to her, ti would be the last time she ever saw her alive. She went outside, a maid followed her, she chose a good gaot and go on moonshadow, who was fresh enough to ride, cry came following, he looked happy
'I'm finally rid of that furball' lanna just smiled, cry knew that smile, 'what are you going to do to me now'
'oh nothing, I was just thinking to give you a rest before a make a basket thing for kelly, so she could ride you and if we're ever attacked you could run away with her' cry looked shocked
'what? and deny me my fun of tearing up some people' Moonshadow snorted, lanna laughed
'oh no, you'll just tear them up if they ever get in your way.' they rode in the direction of the coast, they were going to give and old friend a visit, unknown to her this was the way where there were many pirates.

It was one of those days, you know, you hate everyone and everything is going wrong. It started with kelly getting sick because she had been in the water for too long and lanna didn't dry her well, that meant they had to stay in one place until kelly was better. The other thing was that moonshadow had twisted his foot and was resting, that was another reason they couldn't move. It also looked like it was going to rain, Lanna didn't mind, she loved the rain, but she was concerned about kelly, who seemed to get worse by the hour, she made a tent looking thing and a fire, but the fire attracted more than just bugs. Lanna was trying to cure kelly when they came up and stabbed her with a knife. of course, they didn't kill her, but it took a while for the 3rd life to come in, so she looked dead for around 30 minutes, it took them 15 minutes to get most of the things, when she came back around, cry was stareing at her
'he stabbed you with his knife straut in the heart, how did you survive?' Lanna looked dazed for a while
'I... don't know, do you know when the rain will let up?' cry growled
'YOU JUST LITERALLY DIED AND CAME BACK TO LIFE, YOU SMELLED DEAD, THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN YOU GET UP, AREN'T YOU AT LEAST SCARED?'
'I would be if it didn't seem like it happened before, could we just be normal for a moment' lanna got up and left, cry stood there for a while until he laid down next to kelly who slept peacefully.
Lanna couldn't take it, anymore, not knowing where you were from, not knowing what to do, it drove her mad. what to do, she didn't know, she didn't have anyone to turn to, it overwelmed her, she just cracked down and cried, lucky for her an old women heard her and sheltered her for a while, until lanna snapped out of it
"are you ok, you know it isn't smart to cry in the middle of a puddle in a thunderstorm" Lanna smiled
"I know, I just had to get away fr a while, too much pressure" Lanna got up, the old woman seemed familiar
"you know, everything in life is not suppose to be easy, somethings are harder in life, even in the best stories, there are somethings they don't say in the stories, well, I have to go, don't want to lose another now, but I think I'm better off now," the old woman walked down the road, Lanna was about to follow her, but she disappeared. Lanna wallked back to camp and went to sleep next to cry.

~her dream~

she heard a giggle coming from the other room, she opened the door and there was the old woman with a yonger looking Lanna, then the woman spoke
"Daine tumbled off Clouds back, trying to see where he was. "what I've got in mind isn't near so quick as killing" there, no more for tonight, you've got to sleep and I've to lock the door so no one can get in" the girl moaned
"please granny, we're almost done, it's so amazing, but alanna is still the best" she climbed into bed, "when are we going there? I want to meet them" the grandmoter laughed
"when? In our next life, when the lord grants us our wish of leaving this awful town" the girl gasped
"you mean we'll move into tortall? or Carthak but I don't wanna go to carhtak, unless on vacation" The grandma sat next to Lanna
"yes, we'll live at corus, and you'll be kalasin's best frined" she gave her a good night kiss
"but I don't want to be a lady! I want to be on the road and kill bandits and immortals" the grandma shook her head and turned of the lights.

the grandma made her way into Lanna's camp, she stared at her for a while
"how many bandits have you killed so far lanna?" she walked out.
