Author's note: Hello again! Well it finally caught up with me. All the work I was doing finally hit me like a freight train. Sure, I'll be working on updating my stories as quickly as possible but I just have to stop working on them one after the other. After two days (Saturday and today) Of PURE writing, I'm fried. Oh and because of this if the previous chapter in my FF story was not really up to scale from the rest then it's because I wasn't think normally at the time I looked it over. The solutions easy, just write one story each day BUT that slows updates.Hmmm..Maybe less sleep? Yeah, that might work I mean hey.That's why coffee was made, right?

What else do I have to say..Ah, yes. I suppose I should thank Chaosrayne for thanking me about some type of story I've reviewed a couple times of his on the FF story boards or something like that, I dunno. Or maybe I should be saying you're welcome? Hmmm, well whatever. But hey, maybe you all should check it out and see if it's as good as he's been saying it is..Only after you read MINE of course *Wink wink*

Ok, enough busting on Chaos, I already gave him my round of applause for his latest chapter anyways..What else do I have to say. Oh! You all can still expect my stories to be updated at least every other day. I like to set deadlines for myself so I don't get lazy and not write anything and woo WEE isn't three stories and life's work keeping me busy. Ah, and one more thing. If I don't update in one week or more it's because my brain exploded..

Alright, I'm Blades. "Good reading equals good times." I'm out. **************************************************************************** **

After walking around the stupid trading post for what seemed like ages the little seven-year-old girl decided to take a short break.

"Boy! This place is humungous!" She said allowed to herself.

She was starting to become a little nervous from wondering around a place that she had never been to before but she would have to get used to it. Running away from home was a tough business.

Her 'short' break was starting to drag on a little too long so she decided to start walking around some more. She saw some wagons coming in with travelers getting off. Someone from the crowd caught her attention. A girl joined by a younger boy and a very tall grown up.

The girl looked so familiar to her. She had the exact same color hair and eyes as her and the girl's face almost looked like hers. She had to go introduce herself to them just so her head wouldn't explode from the weirdness.

*** "Well we are here." Bridget told the other two.

She was going to say something else but was stopped by a small child in a very detailed white shirt with light blue cuffs and pants.

"Hey you! Excuse me!" The little girl said, pulling on Tera's sleeve. "Do I know you?"

Bridget looked closely at the little girl. She had the same light blonde hair as Tera and the same clear green eyes. She was so young, probably around Ked's age. A smile was plastered to her face that seemed like it would never come off. She was so cute, Bridget had to smile just watching her.

"No, I don't think so." Tera said, bending down to meet the girl at eye level.

"Oh...Well do you mind if I hang around with you guys for a while?"

Tera was surprised at her request. "Where are your parents?"

She looked down at her feet. "They're..Not here."

"Oh my goodness. Did you lose them?"

"Uh.No, not really," The girl paused, " I'm actually hiding from them. They're supposed to find me. It's a game we play all the time."

Bridget and Tera's eyes met. They were thinking the same thing. This little girl was a run away. They should at least play along and take her with them until they find her parents.

"Oh, um...I guess you can come with us for a while."

"Great!" Oh yeah my name is K.C.!" The girl said, stretching her hands to the sky.

"Well hello K.C. I'm Tera, that's Bridget and he's Ked."

K.C. gave an enthusiastic hello to everyone in the group. It was around this time Bridget used her 'voice of authority.'

"I think we should find a place to rest for the night."

*** Tera turned to her. "I'm going to look around a bit before I turn in."

"Very well, just ask the person at the closest Inn if someone named Bridget rented a room, I'll tell them to save an extra one for you."

Tera turned and walk down the road. Ked and K.C. followed behind her. "Oh hey hey! Can we come too?" K.C. asked, turning her face into the sad look of a puppy dog.

Tera caved to the youngster's big eyes. "Yes, of course you guys can come. Let's go find a place to eat."

After walking around for a couple minutes they stumbled upon a small restaurant. They entered and looked around.

"Oh, more people. Marvelous! We don't get much guests to dine at our restaurant so we're grateful for any new comers." A man said as he directed them to a table.

"So anything you lovely people would like to order?"

K.C. spoke up before the man could even finish. "I want some chicken!!"

The man laughed. "Very well, and you sir?" He said to Ked.

"Uh..I'll have the same."

"Ah, excellent. And finally would you enjoy the same?" He asked, turning to Tera.

"Yes please. That would be fine."

"Good, good. It will be done shortly."

The man trotted off and started to prepare their food. As they waited Ked started to talk to Tera.

"So um..Can you REALLY help me or where you just saying that."

She heisted, but finally spoke up. "Well, I'm not entirely sure if I can. Our magic is from two different spectrums BUT I do know a powerful Sage that would be able to help you. He's been studying Black and White magic for years, he's the one who first taught me."

"You can't help? Then why did you tell my grandfather you could."

Tera had to think about that one. What did she want Ked to come with them? She didn't think about Gettah assisting in his learning until a second ago. Maybe she just wanted to see him get out of the run down town of Bemic. Have some adventure in his life. No, that didn't sound right. Tera was beginning to doubt why this little boy was with her.

The silence was soon cut by K.C. "Man! How long does it take to make food around here?!"

Tera almost fell out of her chair. "K.C.! You should be more polite!

"Pfft, I have to be polite enough at my.." Her voice trailed off, creating more silence.

The food came to the table and they ate in silence. K.C. started to talk again since this CLEARLY was boring her out of her mind.

"So, where are you guys heading to?"

Tera spoke up to answer.

"We're going to Lindinbum to visit someone close to me."

"Ahh...You SURE you want to go there? I heard that place isn't that great."

"Really? I could argue the opposite. King Casin is a great leader. That kingdom would have fallen to pieces without him."

"Hmph..He's not that great.." K.C. mumbled.

The group finished their meal and paid the man who served them.

"Thank you and come again!" He said, watching them walk out.

They eventually found a cozy Inn called The Lazy Bull.

"Bridget must have come here." Tera stated, walking in.

The person at the counter waved them over.

"I was told to watch out for three people who look just like you! Listen, your rooms are up on the second floor. Thank your friend Bridget for saving them."

Tera laughed. "Thank you Miss and don't worry, we'll thank her."

The walked up the stairs and found three empty rooms just for them. K.C. immediately ran into hers and shut the door with a quick "See you tomorrow!" Before it slammed shut. Ked pulled on Tera's sleeve.

"Tera, I just want to say that it doesn't really matter why I'm here. I trust you enough to know that you won't lead me the wrong way. Not only that but I'm finally on my own little adventure, I feel better then any time in my life. Thank you, Tera."

Tera bent down and looked at him. "Ah, wow Ked. I'm glad you trust me so much and don't worry NOTHING bad will happen, you have my word."

"Thanks again, Tera!" He yelled before hugging tightly onto her and running into his own room.

She sighed, maybe having that little boy around wouldn't be as strenuous as she thought. She smiled and walked into her own room, lying down on her bed and falling asleep.
