Authors Note: I am so sorry that I have not updated for a while but I needed to take a break and gather my thoughts, So I have and now here it is, sorry it's a little short but I lost my written copy and so this will have to do. Hopefully the next chapter will come sooner than this one did…I never meant it to take so long, you know writers block.
Arielle had already cooked some potatoes and deer meat for lunch by the time Hannah awoke. Arielle noticed that she was awake and dished up her food for her,
"Hungry?" she asked and Hannah nodded sleepily in reply. She took the plate and they both ate in silence, when they both had eaten and cleaned up the mess from lunch Arielle looked at Hannah's hair a look of disgust on her face,
"Tsk tsk tsk, come here child your hair is an absolute mess!" She said smiling. Hannah sat c cross-legged on the floor while Arielle brushed the knotty mess that was Hannah's hair. Hannah bit her lip as a single tear slid down her cheek as all the brushing and pulling on her hair had hurt immensely but all in all it was worth it,
"How about two braids?" Arielle asked a smile on her kind face, Hannah nodded brushing the tear from her face. Arielle pulled two sort of rubber bands out of her pocket,
"They are made out of dragon wing membrane, very elastic you see." She explained. She then put Hannah's now brushed hair into two small raven braids. Hannah twirled around the cave happily, the braids hitting her face, as if she was a regular child instead of the Chosen One.
"Thanks!" Hannah exclaimed gleefully and ran over giving Arielle a rather large hug, Arielle was stunned for a moment then she knelt down and returned the hug.
"Anytime," She whispered with a little smile on her face.
"Now let's try out that Charter skin of yours," Arielle suggested. Hannah nodded and promptly picked up the bright folded skin, she unfolded it and but her left foot into the skin. She gasped as her foot was turned into a mouse's in her astonishment that it actually worked she fell over dropping the skin on the floor.
"Sorry, that was just so very odd," Hannah said picking up the Charter Skin once more she put her feet into the skin and soon enough she was completely in, now she was small little mouse sitting on the cave floor its black eyes and fur glinting in the dim light that the sun offered.
"I'm a MOUSE! A little mouse!" Hannah squeaked gleefully.
"Why yes, yes you are!" Arielle laughed.
"So why don't you and your little mousey self scurry around the cave and check to see if it works properly, no rips or tears," She suggested, Hannah nodded her little furry head and scampered about the cave quite merrily. After a bit she returned,
"Now I unravel it right?" She asked unsure, Arielle nodded and Hannah proceeded by shutting her pink eyes tightly and pulling the Charter marks from the fabric of the skin, there for unraveling it. Hannah stood in the cave surrounded by a temporary aura of golden light.
"How was that?" Hannah asked no doubt in her voice.
"Brilliant Child! You did magnificently!" She exclaimed happily with a rather large grin on her face.
"When do you think we will go?" She asked her eyes glistening with happiness,
"Tomorrow," She said letting small grin creep across her face.
Araya walked through the forest, her raven hair still in its messy ponytail and her cloak wrapped tight about her, protecting her from both the rain and cold. She sighed,
"Where are you Hannah?" She whispered to the setting sun. She looked around her ruby eyes glittering,
"Ahah!" She exclaimed as she spotted the marks from a few nights ago. "Frantic running by the looks of it," She whispered to herself,
"That must have been Hannah and…' she looked to the ground again, "Nick and John, they were here" she thought aloud,
"They stopped, then…looked around, they then turned back. So at least I know they did not get her," she said softly and looked for Hannah's trail,
"There!" She said pointing to small footprints on the ground, she looked around and quickly morphed into a black wolf with a silver crescent moon on her neck. She sniffed the ground and ran off in search of her friend.
Authors Endnote: Did you like it? Well I like how I ended it, somewhat I think the other copy, the written one, was better but I can't find that. But if I do then I suppose I will tweak this one. Well if you did you didn't like it then review! I can always use some constructive criticism
