It was a week before Kay and Lii had a chance to talk about their plan again. Once again they were sitting in the window seat.

The room was dim, lit only by a few candles. On the window seat was a soft cushion, with colors of deep reds and blues. To either side of the seat, in the corners of the room were two bookcases, filled with glass figurines and books (including Polgara and Belgarath's tales).

"But where will we go?' Kay asked, as she sat watching the rain.

"Well we can't go to a big city," replied Lii, sitting next to her twin with her arms wrapped around her knees.

Settling her back into the corner of the window seat, so she could see Lii better, Kay said, "Why not?"

"Because there is a greater chance that someone would recognize us," Lii stated a bit surprised that Kay didn't see that for herself.

"A greater chance? How's that?" Kay said.

"There are more people," Lii shot back impatient with her sister because she wasn't getting the point.

"If there are more people, then it will take long to find us."

Calming down, because what her sister said made sense, Lii said, "I see that, but that also means that more people can look for us without the two of us noticing."

"Oh, I see your point now," Kay said.

"I really don't like big towns, as well," Lii revealed.

"Why didn't you say so," cried Kay, "I don't like them either."

"Ok, with that settled, where will we go?" Lii repeated her sister's earlier question, as she moved to sit tailor style.

Getting up Kay went over to the bookcase and pulled out the book their Aunt Pol wrote. "We've always wanted to see Annath. Why don't we go there?" she asked.

"We would have to make up some identity. Why don't we just start at some small town or farm in Sendaria, like Aunt Pol did when she was protecting the line?" Lii suggested.

"And just work our way to Annath? Through little farms?" clarified Kay, as she sat back down.

"Yes."

"What would we get paid for? Cooking? We've always been good at cooking," commented Kay.

"That works. Can't really think of anything else," Lii stated, as she got up and went to the desk, which was diagonally across from the window seat. "I'll start on the letter."

"I've got everything I was supposed to. Which clothes did you grap?"

"I picked our dark colored wool dress. Some of them had embroidery and ribbons on them, so I got a dress maker to help me to make plain ones." Lii replied as she sat down and got out paper and a pen.

As she watched the rain, Kay began to wonder if the plan could actually work. "Can we really do this, Lii?"

"What do you mean?" Lii asked distractedly, as she worried over the letter.

"I mean, can we really live as different people and have completely new lives?"

"What," Lii paused as she stoped writing and turned to face her sister. "do you mean? Are you scared?"

"I'm not scared, just worried. We're princesses now. Granted, people don't pay that much attention to us, but still anything we ask for we usually get it."

"Yes, I know. But what's your point?"

"I mean, what if we missed before we thought we would?"

Lii sighed as she got up and walked over to Kay. Sitting down beside her, Lii slipped an arm around Kay. "Even if we are, by then we'll probably be in a small town. When strangers ask small towners about other small towners, they don't answer. Word will get back to us and we can stay away from them. Why are you asking these questions?"

Leaning her head on Lii's shoulder, Kay responed, "I quess it's just..."

"Yeah, I know."

I'm sorry it took so long for the update, but here it is.

While I will never ever refuse to update until I get a set number of reviews, they are helpful and nice to get.
