The girl was now in a hollow tree only a few feet from the cave that Arielle, Vira, Kira, and Kyril occupied. She smiled lightly as the two left and went back to the orphanage, but she quivered at the thought of them capturing her and returning her to her so called 'home'.

"They will never capture me without a fight" She declared but her stomach protested with a roar.

"I need to find something to eat, I know there are people in that cave" She thought aloud

"I just need to steal some food is all" She decided and crept closer to the cave where the Quartet were. Kyril's ears perked up,

"Someone is there" He said growling slightly.

Vira nodded,

"I heard them they mean no harm though, It is the one those men seek."

The girl emerged knowing her cover was blown,

"Um hello" She ventured.

"Hello" Arielle said and smiled softly,

"Are you hungry? I know I am" Arielle asked a caring smile on her face.

The Girl nodded,

"I am Hannah" She said and curtseyed politely,

Arielle shook her head,

"No need to curtsey to me Hannah" She said.

"I am Arielle" Arielle said,

"I am Kyril" Kyril said and did a quick bow,

"I am called Vira" Vira hissed and yawned showing her razor sharp fangs,

"You may call me Kira" Kira said and smiled.

"Lovely to meet you; Arielle, Kyril, Vira and Kira" She said nodding to each of them as she said their names.

"Now I think Kyril here could catch us some breakfast" She hinted and Kyril nodded narrowing his eyes,

"Fine" He said simply and swooped out of the cave and into the forest. He returned a few minutes later with four rabbits in his claws.

Arielle nodded a thank you and took the rabbits throwing one to Kyril. Kyril shook his head no I shall fetch my own food, with that he went back into the forest to hunt. Arielle nodded and went about cleaning the rabbits, in a few minutes they had a few pounds of cubed rabbit meat, for stew.

"Hannah could you get me some sticks please?" Arielle asked, Hannah nodded and went outside of the cave. A few minutes later she came back in with an armful of sticks and twigs.

"Vira would you?" Arielle asked as she set up a sort of campfire. Vira nodded and blew a jet of flame on the sticks setting them ablaze. Arielle pulled a pot from her pack, she also pulled a canteen of water and poured it into the pot.

She smiled pulling out a bag of herbs from her pack. She put the meat in the pot with the water to cook then she put a few pinches of the herbs in with it.

"Now all I need is some potatoes" She thought aloud and walked outside into the forest. A few minutes later she came back with; three potatoes and carrots and even some celery. She cut these up with her sword which hung at her side in a sheath she then put these ingredients into the stew and let it cook with the top on.

She had a few pieces of rabbit meat left,

"Kyril could you cook those? Like jerky?" She asked.

Kyril nodded and proceeded to cook the leftover rabbit meat.
