The cloak fell from around her shoulders, revealing a dagger held in her hand.

She winced and looked away.

"Freya", he stared in disbelief, "i..i.it's you?you're her?" He turned to run, but she called him back.

"Please don't go, you don't understand, I found this."

"You're right, i don't understand, if you found it why didn't you give it to the Sheian?"

"I was too scared, i knew how they would react."

"Oh and how's that then?"

"Just like you, ok!"

Without realising what he was doing, he stared into her large, blue eyes and sighed.

How did she always manage to make him feel so guilty?

She held out her long. slender, white hand and he took it, together they walked into the forest...

The forest was a dark and perilous place, the sort of place you wouldn't want to go alone.
