Disclaimer: Well I don't think that Tamora Pierce copyrighted the characters SO THEY BELONG TO ME!!!!!!

A weird little man (wlm) with a gun comes in and holds the revolver to my head.

WLM: Take it back.

Me: Take what back?

WLM: You said that the characters belong to you take it back or I'll shoot.

Me: But she didn't copyright them.

WLM: Yes she did it's right here.

Me: Reads over sheet he hands me Fine. Tamora Pierce owns them.

WLM leaves.

Me: Darn it.

Wow that was a long disclaimer.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

After a week of searching Raoul, Gary, and Alex had found NOTHING.

Alex was beginning to get frustrated, "How many short, red headed, violet eyed girl are there? You'd think she'd stand out yet no one has seen her."

Raoul sighed, "Well think like Alanna would think. Ok she's a girl who stands out quit a bit so maybe she is wearing a disguise."

"Yes and George is probably with her. So think like him."

Alex, confused,said, "Who's George?"

Raoul sighed, "O great. Now we have to explain this to him."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Roger looked at the small mirror in his hand. Instead of seeing a picture of the girl Alanna he saw gray clouds.

"How can she hide from me? Her magic isn't that powerful that she can fight me off. She must be protected somehow. Perhaps a more powerful mage or a god was shielding her. But why would they? Why would a god protect someone like her? No god would do that. It has to be a powerful mage. Her brother might have the power. Well he will receive a surprise visit from me tomorrow."

Roger put the mirror down and went inside the palace to his rooms.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

The next day Jonathan, Alanna, and George (AKA Daniel, Emily, and Travis) were riding out of the city. They had changed their secret identities by a bit. Alanna and George were brother and sister and Jonathan was Alanna's fiancé.

After they had been riding for a day they reached a fork in the road. One path was leading to Trebond the other was heading to the City of the Gods.

They were about to head to the City of the Gods when Jon turned his horse to look at the city. Alanna wasn't sure but she thought that she saw a tear sliding down his cheeks.

Alanna couldn't blame him. The palace had become her home over the seven years she had spent there. Alanna looked down at the ground.

Suddenly Alanna felt a sharp pain in her head. And Alanna knew what it meant.

"Jon, George we're not going to the City of the Gods just yet. We're riding to Trebond. We can stay there for a night and we can get money and food. We're safe there."

"Alanna. Trebond is going to be the first place they check. It won't work."

"That's were you're wrong Jon."

"How am I wrong?"

"They've already been to Trebond. They are currently heading to the City of the Gods."

Jon and George looked at her with curiosity.

"How do you know?" George asked.

"Thom. When we were little we would each go to opposite ends of the fief and communicate through our minds. We agreed not to send each other these messages when we were apart for safety reasons. But I sent him one last night telling him we were coming. He just sent one telling me not too. He said to go to Trebond. So we are."

George shook his head, "Alanna. You never cease to amaze me."

George looked at her strangely. She recognized that look. It was the same look he gave her right before he kissed her the first time. She chuckled and rolled her eyes.

When Alanna turned her horse around George and Jon gave each other a look that seemed to say Stay away from her.

Alanna however didn't see them.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Thank you to my 4 reviewers. I think this is a record. So I commend you all now.
