Sorry Shadow Dragon, but there has been some confusion...

Wren, so you didn't post that part about your story? Now I am confuzzled. Please don't post under other people's names, guys, but I do forgive you if that is what happened.

Snap! I whirl at the sound to see a girl of about thirteen standing behind me, looking terrified. Caught off-guard, I do nothing but stare. The girl seems to fearful and shy to speak. I know that I will have to get her out of the way somehow, or my crime will be discovered. I can't reach for my sword, as I am still holding the girl with wings, so I'll have to talk this way out of this one.

"Move one step farther, and she dies," I warn, nodding to the girl in my arms.

"I-I," she swallows, "what did you do to her?"

"She's asleep," I reply, "but she will be in a much deeper sleep if you move in any direction." I know I have her now, and am about to continue when the feathery wings jolt. I take a shakey breath, and do something I never would imagine I could do.

"She's waking up. C'mon, your with me now," I say, barely believing my own words. Again, I tramp through the forrest, ducking under branches and dodging whatever obstacle is in my way. Behind me, I can hear smaller, tentative footsteps. It takes a very short time to get to my hammock and supplies, and I clear away some mildewed leaves and lay the girl down. Slowly, her eyes open, and I watch her intently. As soon as she is fully awake, I look away, pretending not to notice. The other, younger girl is standing nervously by a nearby tree.

"Oh, your awake," I say, like I am just realizing it. She begins demanding things of me, who I am, what is going on, and I forget about the Eternity Jewel, which is not at all characteristic. Everything in my life that I had worked hard to establish was now falling except for a few crumpling walls.

"My name is Calcspar, and I..." what do I say? That I am a stealer? a kidnapper? I can't.

"And I... I am sorry." The last few walls fall to dust. Her green eyes shift, and I can see she is deciding wether to trust me, but I can't wait for an answer. I feel the need to run from this forrest; from change. I want to go back to stealing and wandering the four-corner kingdom. Alone. I prepare myself to bolt, but I can't. The sudden softness inside me hardens as I look away from the girl's bright green eyes. 

"I'm Millenia," she says, emediatly cooling my quick temper. I can tell from her expression that she is an outcast and a wanderer as well.

"I am Ella," the other girl announces, bending down by Millenia, who is still on the ground. Millenia tries to get up, but she can't.

"Rest until the effects wear off. It will take a while," I tell her as I pull out my spare hammock. I secure it quickly, and lift her onto it.

"You and Ella will have to share," I say, sliding into my own hammock. "We'll talk more in the morning." 

Dragonrider, so Allyson left the castle and went into a cave? She must have gone back to the gatehouse by the time Amethyst and Joy Rose brough breakfast.

Millenia sleeps so gracefully that I cannot wake her when morning arrives. Ella is sleeping next to her in a precarious position. If she moves, the hammock my tip and dump the sleepers onto the damp ground. I fumble for the jewel case in my pocket, but a sound from the forrest makes me reach instead for my sword. A Chitzah wolf, maybe several of them by the sound of it. Within seconds, I am leaping through the forrest, the fresh morning breeze whipping by me. There is nothing like a good fight.
