Isa had begun to slightly panic. She was walking around her room making sure she had everything, her wrap around her head, her bag with the Sacred Pieces and other things she owned. Guards had been coming in and out, questioning the inns occupants and searching through people's things. Isa had decided to go out the window and somehow climb up onto the roof and walk right out of town by the rooftops. Isabel had expected this to happen but now that it was she was getting a knot in her stomach. From guilt or fear she did not know, but she didnt want to find out also. She decided to get some water from the bar before she left to calm herself, she reasoned with herself that she had every right to be nervous since she had never stolen something so valuable before. Taking a breath she walked out and went down the stairs to the deserted bar where even the innkeeper was no where to be seen. Debating wether to go and get the water herself or wait, she heard whispers coming from behind a door that was slightly ajar. Curiosity was always something she possesed greatly and it got her into more trouble then stealing itself, but most of the time it was worth it. This time was no different. Using silent steps as she had back in the temple she closed the gap between her and the door and listened intently to two men speaking to one another.

"Did anyone see someone leave the temple?" one said seriously, the other voice was more nervous and jittery.

"No Link no one was seen, everyone is in a panic state. Do you really think someone stole it?" the man said and a shuffling noise showed that he was putting his weight on foot to foot. "What if the godesses came down and snatched it, warning us that the world is going to end?" he seemed even more nervous as he finished his sentence.

"I'm positive, and I'm sure I'll be able to find out who this temple robbing theif is." the first one, Link, if she heard correctly said with determination. Isa was slightly worried about this determination, if he was as determined as he sounded, she was as good as caught.

"Alright then Link, you are the Queen's best knight, I'm sure you will find who did this soon enough." the man's nervousness seemed to vanish somewhat.

When Isabel heard that he, Link, whoever he was, was a knight, the queen's best knight, she drew away from the wall as if scalded. Dreadful thoughts filled Isabel's head of what they would do to her if they found her. If a simple merchant had scarred her face, imagine what the queen would to her for stealing the country's most prized possesion. Isabel went back to the door to see what this Link man looked like, just so she could stay clear of him in the future. Peering through the small gap with one eye she saw a small man with mostly dark clothing and an apron. She turned her gaze away from him knowing he was the innkeeper and she looked to the bigger man as they continued talking. She began sizing him up and she could tell why he was the queens best knight. He was tall, perhaps around six one, and muscular. Even through his clothing you could see the toned, flat chest and broad shoulders, she would not like to get on this man's bad side. His clothing was like any warrior who was travelling a simple tunic, which was green, with simple white leggings, and sword at his back. As she looked at his face she recognized him as the attractive man that had bumped into her earlier. Now that she was taking a good, hard look she concluded that he was about twenty two, two years older then herself if she was right. He had blonde hair that was pulled back into a small, almost invisble ponytail, and the bangs fell onto his face just above his eyes.

Isabel drew away slowely from the door but heard footsteps coming from inside the room. Her first thought was to flee but that would make them suspect something of her and probably make this Link man chase her. Her only option that was left open to her was stand rooted to the spot and run over the many lies she had told in the past to help her out now. To Isabel everything seemed to happen in slow motion while thoughts were whirling in her mind. The door opened agonizingly slow, and her heart beat loudly against her chest, making it almost painful. Steps followed after the door, and a hand was attatched to the door handle, followed by an arm and a body. When both men had fully entered the room they were surprised to find a girl standing there staring at them. The innkeeper was the first to react as he walked past his larger friend and stepped up to the girl.

"Is there something you need miss?" he asked politely but his eyes held suspiscion.

"I...I." Isabel seemed at a loss for words. She never got this tounge tied before for other robberies she had done. Isa promised herself right then and there she would never steal more then she needed to survive, and knowing her, that was bound to last only a few days. "I needed some water and no one was here. So I was, uh" she had no idea what she was going to say next. It felt to her as if both men could see straight through her lies and she didn't like that feeling one bit.

"Water is it." the innkeeper said. "Well please have a seat young lady, I'll bring it to you momentarily." he walked behind the counter, his past suspicions gone from his eyes.

Isabel inwardly breathed out in relief and went to sit at one of the stools at the counter to wait for the water she wasn't sure she could drink past the dryness in her throat. She shivered when she felt Link sit next to her because the person she really needed to avoid right now was sitting inches away from her. Then an idea struck her. What if she befriended him somewhat? No one would suspect a theif to befriend their enemy, well she hoped they wouldn't. Besides who would think that the thief was a women? Women in this time were considered to be homemakers, making clothing and bouncing babies on their laps, while waiting paitiently for their husbands and making their meals. That certainly was not the life she was going to lead, she trusted no one, and she never really got close to anyone new. So, mind made up and trying her best to keep calm, she turned slightly in her chair and smiled. She knew he couldn't see her smile but she knew that he knew that she was smiling because her eyes became smaller. ( hard sentence)

"Hello." she said as sweetly as she could without sounding like she was faking her words or trying to be flirtatious. Link turned to look at her slighty and paused for a moment then nodded his head. "I just wanted to, uh, apologize for acting so rudely earlier." Link continued to watch her, slightly cocking a brow.

"Thats alright." he said looking away from her and to the wall.

Isabel didn't know what to do, she hadn't exactly spoken like this to strangers. The only people she ever spoke to without a care was to life long friends which she only had a handful of, if that. Shen then thought of how she spoke to them and decided to pretend that she was talking to Jean or Lydle, her two oldest friends.

"Well, what is your name then?" Isabel said letting a bit of impatience into her voice but she couldn't help it. She didn't like doing this, she was nervous and she couldn't help but think that he was an idiot. Then again, she thought most men were idiots. Lydle was her main example. Link looked at her once again and paused once more, Isabel didn't miss the look of precaution in his eyes.

"Link." he said flatly, she guessed he decided that she wasn't a threat, but a mere weak girl, and that thought angered her somewhat.

"Oh, I'm not sure if I've heard of you. Then again I travel a lot." she stopped talking when the innkeepers pushed a cup with water towards her, and she took a large swig gratefully.

"What about you, whats your name?" he asked casualy, still watching her. Isabel looked at him, and didn't know how to respond. She didn't like being asked questions, especially by him, but what choice did she have?

"Isabel, but some people call me Isa." turning away she grabbed her cup again, taking a sip. "She didn't bother making a fake name because she didn't want to confuse herslef in the future."

"Thats a nice name, never heard it before though." he said smiling at her and instantly felt distrust greater then she felt before. He had no reason to be kind to her so why was he, she came to the idea that he knew something she didn't.

"So where are you heading." she said sipping her water and trying not to sit so stiffly.

"To the next down and around maybe. I'm looking for a theif." he stated a bit more seriousness in his voice.

"A thief! Well sounds like you have your hands full." she stated trying to keep her calm and voice smooth.

"Where are you headed?" he asked her after getting a drink for himself. Doubts, doubts, doubts and more doubts filled her mind and she just wanted to close out the world at that moment.

"I don't know where I'm headed." she said more roughly than intended and realized it. So she tried over. This was really irritating her. "I'm alone so I don't know where to go. Perhpas to some town, find my friends and family." she actually felt a pang as she thought of the meaning behind her words. "Well I have to be going soon, so, uh, it was nice talking to you." and without waiting for any goodbye she placed a coin on the wooden counter and dashed up the stairs two at a time. Once again in her room she began to rub her temples and decided on a quick nap, she needed it at the moment.

Isa put her bag under her pillow and lay down on top of the quilt, sinking into the softness. Closing her eyes she wouldn't know how much of a problem she had caused. She didn't know how many people were panicking at her simple act, or how many were planning more sinister things since the Pieces has been stolen. She wouldn't know because she simpley closed her eyes to all of it.
