An: I don't own Twilight/ Eragon/ Ranger's apprentice

Chapter 3

Solo in the mountains

Epov

White owl mountains, the coldest place in the world. How had anyone survived up here I don't know, but I was determined to find him.

But the problem was trying to find him, was like trying to find a snowflake in a blizzard. The pine trees that did survive up here, were small and wouldn't provide any cover, there were caves around, but would he be able to find any of them.

"Edward, I must land soon" Bella whispered

"What's wrong?" I said with a concerned look on his face.

"It's getting too cold, my wings are icing up, and the air up here is to thin to breathe well, also I am sensing food in the area" growled a hungry Bella

"Okay, you can land and let's find something to eat"

That is one thing I had to get used to in this new life. my life (before my dragon riding days) I could eat what I want, when I want, things like chocolate and drink things like coffee as well as blood that all vampires need, but now I could not handle it, first time I smelled anything that was not blood, I was sick. Now Bella and I shared our food, I had the blood and she the body.

As we landed, I saw what she was talking about, a horse lay in the snow, a big bay about two metres high and weighted down by heavy armor. A knight's horse.

"Sorry, brother" I said to it (Carlisle told me " we all come from the same place, and one day we will go to that same place") as I had my fill, Bella waited until I was finished and took off the armor to eat, the now dead horse.

I was thinking as she was eating that if a knight's horse was here that means, he must be here somewhere close by.

We wondered around the area looking for anywhere the knight could be, when we came across it.

A small snow covered cave, that we would not have seen from the air, was nestled in against the mountain side, somehow I knew this was it. The cave was too small for Bella to fit in and that was why the horse had died because it was trapped outside in the snow, but Bella was not a horse, She would not get cold easily with the fire in her belly.

"Don't be worried, my love, I'll be back" I told her as I ran my hand down her head.

"Come back to me safe"

"You know I will" and with that I entered the cave alone.

"Horace, Horace" a voice called

I've been here to long, I'm hearing things, I thought

Aylss and I decided to come to this country to get help for Will, he looked so pale last time I saw him. Poor Will, even Halt couldn't help him, he just stays in his room when not training and when he is training he is like a machine.

We had hoped to talk to the dragon riders that helped us before, but now I needed the help, we had both been snowed in, me with a broken leg.

Aylss had made it out of the cave and said that she would get help as soon as possible.

If only the other knights could see me now, my tombstone would read " here lies the oakleaf chevalier dead from a broken leg".

"Horace, Horace" I wished that the voice would shut up and stop "Horace, here you are" I looked up and said "who are you?".

"Don't see me?"

I shook my head, wishing that I did not because it made me dizzy.

"It's me, Edward" said the voice.

"Oh, thank god"

"You must have been snow blinded" said Edward

I tried to get up only to fall over, and hurt my leg again.

"Steady Horace, we'll have you off the mountain soon, just sleep"

"Thank you, Edward"

"No worrys, what are friends for" and with that I felt myself being lifted

Epov

I lifted the injured man, and backed out of the cave. Bella was waiting with wings outstretched to lift us off the mountain.

An: Sorry horse fans, but they were hungry.
