Hiya, I'm back. Trying to update is hard now that school has started. Sorry for long waits. I will try my best. Okay time for the pain. I, sadly, do not own Rangers Apprentice. Wahhhhhh! So, I had a really strange day. I saw a pony that I swear looks exactly like Tug. Well, on with Ranger and Wolf. Please R&R as always.

I would like to remind you that I have a witch friend and she said that she will gladly curse those who read and don't review. So review or be cursed.

Gilan-"I thought Will was insane, but you're nuts. I'm scared to ever get on your bad side." (Shivers)

Me-"I love you Gilan. I would never kill you. I would only curse you so you have trouble with love. Anyways, on with the story. Love you all."

The woods were bright and happy on a fine spring morning. Birds were chirping and a young girl, about eleven years old, was skipping down a trail with a basket of mushrooms in her hand.

"I sure hope mommy likes these mushrooms. Maybe she will make a yummy soup for dinner. It took forever to gather these; I hope mom isn't worrying about how long I've been gone."

The girl stopped skipping as she saw her cabin come into view. She immediately ran forwards, unable to wait to show her mom what she had gathered.

However, as soon as she opened the door she was greeted by a horrendous sight. Lying on the ground in front of her was her mother. As soon as she saw her mom the basket fell from her hands. She fell to her knees and began shaking her mother.

"Mom? Mommy? MOM! Get up, you have to get up. Please, I need you. Mommy, don't go!" At this she collapsed over the cold form of her mother, crying.

After an hour of crying she finally pulled herself away from the corpse. If anyone had seen her eyes then they would have sworn she was a zombie. She stood up and went into the bedroom. There she grabbed her mother's cloak and returned to the prone form.

Bending down she wrapped her mother in the cloak. Then she went outside and around the back of the house. There she grabbed a shovel and walked towards a small flower garden. She began digging a hole. Once she was satisfied with it she went and grabbed a piece of wood and some charcoal from by the fire pit.

Using the charcoal she wrote on the piece of wood.

Here lies the dearly departed Anne. Mother to Rin and caretaker of the woods. May her soul rest in peace.

She then stabbed the wood into the ground at the head of the hole. Then she headed for the house once more. She bent down, grabbed the body and deposited it into the hole. Then she picked some flowers from the garden and laid them over the body. Finally she buried the body.

The girl sat down and stared into space, not knowing what to do. The only thing she had ever done was live with her mother. She had taught her everything she knew. How to use a bow, how to fight with a knife, how to hunt, how to cook, and everything she knew how to do. She had no clue what to do without the person who had always been there for her.

Over the next two days she sat around the house. On the third day she finally broke down. It was too much for her to stay in the house with all the memories. She packed a bag of food, clothing, and other supplies. She then grabbed her dagger belt and tied it on. Once she had her quiver of arrows and bow she left the house, never looking back.

AN. Okay, I know, suckish chapter. Sick right now so forgive me. No flames please. As always R&R. If you do not you will be cursed, bwahahahaha! Bye ;)
