Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story that comes from the Tamora Pierce books.

Elise and Leslie worried about their friend as they traveled toward The Copper Isles, they hoped that they would see each other again soon but they knew that they might not see her again for a long time, maybe not ever again, but what they were really afraid of was what was going to happen to them at least Susan knew people so if she was saved she could tell people what had happened to them instead of having to trust their luck and hoping to be found.

Meanwhile in Carthak Susan was busy working on a plan to help one or both of Kally's children escape she spent days watching how the captors treated them and which child the paid more attention to. Surprisingly they paid more attention to Kala and barely noticed Kadin which made Susan think they did not know that they had captured the heirs to the throne of Carthak. Well the less they now the better she thought and so she started to plan Kadin's escape.

Back in Tortal many things were going on:

Alan and his Squire Brian were getting ready to visit The Copper Isles along with Raoul and his squire Kevin.

Liam and Gary were going to visit Kalasin, Kaddar and the kids (they didn't know what happened yet.)

And Steven and Tomy were as worried as ever.

But this chapter isn't about any of them or even Aly and Nawat it is about the poor lost twin of Aliania daughter of the Copper Isles' Spy master.

When we last "saw" Aleda she was being caught by an unknown mysterious hand so that's were I'm going to start this story (a/n I just finished watching A Series Of Unfortunate Events for the first time so if my narrating has changed it is probably just temporary.) '… she felt a hand on her shoulder and when she tried to scream a hand flew over her mouth and stifled the would be scream.'

"SHHHHH I wouldn't scream if I were you."

"yh;dslkhfksdbvkjbsdhf" (which translates to who are you) she asked but she didn't get an answer. Instead she felt a strange tingling sensation and then everything went black. Two days later she woke up in a strange place. She looked around and saw that she was inside a small building, light shone through the high windows and the walls were made out of light gray stone.

"Where am I?" she thought out loud not expecting an answer.

"On Malubesang Island a few miles away from Fajurat."

Surprised, Aleda looked around for the source of the voice. It was a luarin boy who was standing by the door.

"Who are you?" Aleda asked trying to sound braver than she actually was.

"Well my name is Eryk and I'm a mage… in training I found you in my family's property and I thought you were a thief so I knocked you out and took you here. Who are you anyway?

"I'm… My name is… Aleda"

"Where you from and where are your parents you can't be much older than four."

"I'm from The Kypriang Island and that's where my parents are."

"Where on Kypriang?"

"Are you bothering her?" asked a tall young woman from behind him

"No, Samara, I wasn't bothering her. Aleda this is my sister."

"hi"

"Hi, anyway there is someone from the capital and there looking for mom or dad do you know were they are?"

"Nope."

"Well you can go tell him that they aren't here because I really don't want to have to go out there again."

"Fine, I'll be right back."

"So Aleda huh lets see that mean's small and winged right?"

Aleda nodded in response.

"You know I think that's the name of one of the Queen's godsdaughters isn't it?"

"How should I know?" Aleda lied.

A few moments later

"So what did they want?"

"They were letting everyone know that one of the Spymasters daughters ran away and now they can't find her any were in the capital."

"Why in the world did they come here? Rajmuat is all the way across the Sea of Kypriang, and we're in the middle of the island how could she get here. Did they give her name?"

"Yes it was Aleda," he turned to Aleda and asked "is there something you want to tell us?"

"Like what?"

"Like that you're the Spymaster's daughter."

"Oh you think that I'm the Spymaster's daughter. Come on how would I get here with out my mother finding out if I was I'm just a girl from Kypriang."

"Were on Kypriang?"

"Rajmuat… but that doesn't mean your right lots of people live in the capital… anyway I need to go I'm visiting friends and I need to get to there house they must be afraid I was supposed to get there yesterday."

"Well fine I'll go with you."

"Oh you don't have to I'll be fine."

"You're more than an hour from Fajurat let me take you there and then I'll let you go and leave you alone ok."

"Alright… I guess."

"Come on we'll leave now that way you'll be at you friends house by mid-day."

So Aleda and Eryk went to Fajurat.

During the time this story took place:

Susan figured out a plan to help Kadin escape.

Elise and Leslie moved ever closer to the Copper Isles.

Alan, Brian, Raoul and Kevin have left to go to the Copper Isles.

And Liam and Gary are on their way to Carthak
