Thanks for the review and I won't strangle you for those who review. : )

On this chapter is when George found out Alan is a girl. (Boom-ba-boom). Yes finally. I don't know if I should make him find out yet but then I think the fifth chapter is perfect. How will he find out? Well you just have to find out. (Smirk) its kind of funny if you know what I mean. I was laughing the whole time while thinking of how I should make George find out that Alan is Alanna. It took me two nights just to think of a funny way to make him find out so this is all I got. I really want to post the next chapter really soon so I won't keep my reviewers waiting. So, enjoy. :D

Of course for you out there who thought that the wolf is Alanna's mother you are so wrong. The wolf is not her mother.

I'm just joking.

You are right she is Alanna's mother but how and why? Well, you just have to find out in later chapter so you better keep on reading. You better or I will haunt you until you cry for your mummy. Okay, I'm threatening you now. I'm sorry. (Look innocent)

N/P (By now you should know what this mean. No?) New paragraph.

Alan is Alanna?

Alanna woke up to see that George hasn't got up yet. She smirks. Ha, to think that he will wake up first then me. Alanna thought, laughing to herself. She walked outside to see the sun shone on her face. She shades her face with her hand and looked at the clear blue sky. There was no clouds insight. She remembered how she hasn't wash in days and was too tired to do so yesterday. She also needs to clean her sword which was stained with blood. She looked back to the cave to see if George awake then quickly stripped her clothes and went in the clear lake. It was freezing since it is winter but as she stay there longer the water begin to warm into her body.

The scar from the attack long ago with the bandits when she first met the talking cat was still there. It was ugly but it was healing. She fingered the ember stone around her neck. Every night she could feel the magic growing around her. She could feel the presence of its magic. She doesn't know why the Goddess would give her such a gift but she will find out soon. At least she hopes so.

She started to dress and takes her sword from her rucksack. It was long and very beautifully made. She found it long ago at an old house which was abandoned long ago. She was wandering looking for shelter and something to eat. The house was very small and old. Roofs were falling and the paint was peeling off the wall. It started to rain then so she decided to go inside the house. She was scared yet she felt somehow safe. She accidentally stumbled in a small tunnel. (A/n I can't remember how she got the sword so bear me if I get this wrong. I'm just making it up for now since I don't have the first book here.) There she found the sword which light up as she picks it up. It has very fine designs and was old like someone already used the sword long before her, yet the sword welcome her.

The wolf came out from the cave and walked towards her. It was watching her with interest as she cleans the sword with a wet cloth. (A/n I'm not sure how they clean their sword. Is it with a cloth or something else? Somebody help me here!). George emerged from the cave later.

'I see you wake up first then me after all.' George said with a grinned.

'Told you.' She said, smirking. He laughed.

'Ready?' he said, picking up his sword.

They practice with hand combat first. George show her variety way of fighting when without a weapon. He shows her how to trick a person to think that you are here then quickly move and hit them. She was slow, George told her, which he got a smack on the head. He told her to learn speed first because if she doesn't the opponent may strike her.

After hand combat they use sword which Alanna was good at for having the sword most of her life and watching the boys, back at the village she lived in, how to fight using sword skills.

George was impressed by her quick learning and concentration. She was the easiest lad he ever taught. By at the Dancing Dove where Myles make him his second, which when Myles is away George would take his place for awhile and teach the lads to fight. Most of them are slow to understand how to use swords and do hand combat. Alan was different somehow and he quite enjoying teaching this lad.

After their long hot training George suggested that they take a bath. Alanna started to panicked and refused quickly.

'Aww, c'mon lad. After this long hot training you be stinking right now.'

'I'm- I'm fine,' she said. But George didn't let it go and push her to the water which to her surprise. She didn't expect he would do it. Her clothes were wet throughout. She didn't want to come out but she can't breathe under water long. He was in the water by now, naked. She gasped and turned her back to him.

'Alan, are you going to bathe like that?'

'Ye-yes,' she said trembling. Not in her years would she travel with a man anymore. She was red. How embarrassing, she thought.

He turned her around and started to take her clothes off for her. She tightens her clothes refusing over and over again.

Then he gasped and let go of her. By now she was half naked. She looked embarrassed and couldn't look him straight in the eyes. She heard him got out of the water and was muttering angrily. She caught a few words saying 'he is a lass' and 'why didn't I realise it before' and something about 'I'm a thief I should have know'. That part shock her and she quickly got out of the lake. The wolf was watching them. Her eyes moved to Alanna and again she thought she saw purple eyes. She shook her head and ran after George which he disappeared inside the cave.

'George?'

'Don't talk to me.' He said his back to her.

'I can explain.' She said putting a towel around her stopping her from freezing.

'Then explain this.' He gesture towards her, not looking at her.

'Well, I-I disguise myself as a lad because I wanted to roam around. I was about to tell you but I couldn't because...' okay, stop babbling Alanna, she told herself and stopped explaining because she knew he wasn't listening. He wasn't looking at her. She felt ashamed. She vowed to the great goddess that she wouldn't travel with a man anymore.

'So what is your real name?' he asked after a long paused.

'Alanna of Trebond.'

'So I guess you didn't lie about where you lived.' It was a statement. Then to her ultimate surprise he turned and smiled.

'You sure fool me lass. I didn't know that you were a lass since I'm good at noticing people but you sure fool me.' He said, laughing. 'No lass have ever outwitted me.'

'So you're not mad?' she asked, not certain to laugh and wrapped her arms around him for not being angry.

He tweaked her nose, 'Mad? No, I'm surprise. You are one of a kind Alanna of Trebond.'

Alanna smiled. She takes that back about not travelling with men anymore well not travelling with George to be exact. She now like him more and maybe... well she don't want to think about it.

He handed her a dry clothes, 'Here, wear this.' It was a faded grey tunic and white breeches. Though it was too big she like it for it belong to George. She could smell the fragrance and devour it. They decided to stay a little while here.

(N/p)

George didn't know what to think but was outwitted by lass. Now that was funny. He watched her practice the skills he taught her and couldn't help feeling a yearning for the young woman. She was strong and funny and not like any girl he met before. He smiled. She was also beautiful. She turned and looked at him and he blushed for the first time.

'Did I do it right Cooper?" she said, wiping sweats from her forehead. He smiled for he didn't look at her fighting skill but was looking at her instead.

'Yes. Improving,' he lied.

She smiled and his heart flips up side down. She sheathed her sword and walked in the cave, the wolf trotted behind her. George followed.

(N/p)

Her nose didn't play trick on her at all but it was her. Her beloved daughter, Alanna. At last she found her. She looked at the moon and started to panic. She looked at her daughter who was arguing with this fellow name George and as she could see he was flirting with her daughter. She wanted to stay but time was running and she must not let them see her. They wouldn't understand and might think that she is a mage. She fled into the night leaving the two confused.

I'll be back Alanna and shall protect you. I won't let him harm you.

The night blend into her and was out of sight.

End chapter 5

What do you think? Was it funny or was plain boring? I hope you enjoy it though and I didn't make George mad at all. Well just for a while. I mean he the funny kid of guy and he wasn't mad in the book when she told him that she was a lass.
