A/N- 15 more days till Christmas, aaahhh! Thanks again to everybody who has added this story to their alerts and favorite's list, you make me smile .

Merlin and Harper rode for about an hour in silence until Merlin couldn't stand it any longer.

"So why are you hanging out in the woods stealing people's stuff?"

"That's none of your business," she snapped.

Merlin frowned, "but you're riding my horse and you took my jacket- which happens to be my favorite jacket so I think that I have a right to know."

Harper sighed, "Look it's not really important, all you need to know is that some very bad men are after me."

"Why?"

"You ask too many questions," she replied.

"Alright, alright," Merlin backed off.

"So what is the king's servant doing all the way out here so soon before Christmas?" Harper asked.

"Oh you know the king wants four perfect white horses, and I only got three so I was sent to find one more."

"Huh, doesn't the king have like special servants just for that?"

"Yes, yes he does-me."

"I'm sorry," she chuckled.

Merlin shrugged, "it's not so bad."

"Really, because it sounds really bad," Harper replied.

"Yeah you're right it's bad," Merlin replied.

After a while Merlin noticed that it was starting to get dark. "Hey um Harper, why don't we stop soon for the night?"

"No," she insisted. "We need to travel through the night."

"But I'm hungry," Merlin complained.

Sighing Harper pulled on the reigns, "fine we'll stop for a little bit. But only for a little bit," she insisted.

Dismounting Harper tied the horse up. "Alright you start-"

'Collecting firewood," Merlin nodded. "Yes I know."

When Harper cocked an eyebrow at him he shrugged, "that seems to be my fate."

She nodded, "ok then you start on the wood and I will look for something for us to eat."

A/N- Hhhm, who is this Harper chic? I wonder what she's really doing out I the woods….so many questions! Well I don't know about you but I am really hoping to see a new guitar under the tree, what are you hoping for? You should tell me when you stop by to leave me a review (hint, hint)
