Rhea's house

Bardon bit his lip.
"After I left, and I wandered in a village nearby, I got a letter about five months later from her...." He hung his head and turned around.
"I don't want to talk about it." He told her.

Chaya raised an eyebrow "Ah well that explains it" she said softly. "I realize that but if you want to come into MY village I need to know who I am letting in. Now why didn't you marry the poor girl?" she asked gently

"I was scared...." He said in a soft quiet tone.
"I didn't know what to do. I just ran. I ran and ran until I heard someone talking about this place and I came here, hoping that I would forget about everything...." He gulped.

Chaya looked at him sadly "Running never helps. Everything catches up..but I think you already know that." She looked indecisive for a moment. "You may come to Cahoon, BUT...first you must return to the village and at least apologize. You won't be a stable, dependable villager until you get this taken care of. You may take someone with you for protection if you wish. Jarlon would be a good choice. But you might have to ask his forgiveness first before he would protect you. I will not let you into Cahoon until this is resolved." She said firmly

He looked at her wide eyed, then bit his lip.
"There's a problem with that...." He looked down at his feet.
"That village is gone. The girl and her son are dead. They've been dead for a year...." He said a bit embaressed.
"I forgot to tell you that...."

Chaya looked at him confused. "You have run for more than a year? What happened to the village?"

He bit his lip again.
"Yes. I ran for more than a year. The village was destroyed by the same people that destroyed Sloan's village and killed her. The Revange I guess is what they call themselves." He shrugged.

Chaya nodded "I know of them, they haunt the forests at times. They are not as powerful as they once were but that is because most of them are sleeping. They feed off the fear of others" she said quietly. She raised her head again. "And the girl has no friends or family alive?"

Bardon shook his head.
"No she doesn't. They were all killed too."

"So does anyone know what happened? It sounds like all the witnesses are gone.."

"I..I don't know. I seriously don't know if there were any witnessess....." He stuttered. He looked at her.
"Please. I told Jarlon I was leaving after the funeral. I...I told Tyler too....." He looked at her for a long moment.
"Anymore personal questions?" He grumbled

Chaya cocked her head. This had to be resolved somehow. "Well I will not have a growing sore between the villages" she said firmly. "If you wish to come to Cahoon you will have to apologize to Jarlon for at times undermining his leadership," she raised a finger "I know he said some things to, but you have more to prove to me at this point than he does. And...then you and him must go to Athara so she can approve the change"

Bardon hung his head and grumbled.
"Alright. I will." He mumbled through teeth.
"I need to tell Ty...." He said outloud.
"Thank you for coming by." He said, walking out the door and jumping on Adreo, knowing where Jarlon was so that he could apologize.

-------------Barn sight (i know thats not really where he is but hehe)

Chaya nodded "My pleasure" she said under her breath as she cloaked again and disappeared back into the forest.

((Here are the things of Sloan's that everyone gets.))

Vandecar:

Jarlon-Her sword. Black handle with silver 'claw marks' on the handle. Long silver blade.

Rhea-Silver locket with wolf eye carved on it

Danielle-Her grey cloak

Cahoon:

Mika-Sloan's long dagger. Given to her by her grandfather. It has a red handle with a dragons head on the end of it.

Tyler-Her leather braclet with eagle feather painted on it.

((thats all i can think of right now.))

Rhea sat up in her bed, feeling groggy and she had a headache, sho got up out of bed a pushed the feelings away. She got dressed and looked around the house for anyone...everyone was gone!
~Jarl's always dissappearing,~ Rhea sighed, ~Mika's really got him!~
~Well why don't you search for him?~ Zaric suggested, Rhea nodded, pulling on a warm jersey and stood outside, noticing the rain for the first time. Rhea ran as fast as she could over the hill to Cahoon.

--------------> Cahoon...Outside?

-----------------Cahoon Pasture

Bardon and Tunani walked in into the house and looked around. His stuff was still at Tylers. He sighed and walked to a chair and looked at it. He turned around and started a fire in the fireplace and sat down in the chair, watching the flames.
"I love you, Tyler." He mumbled out of the blue, dozzing off.
Tunani looked around, the moonlight shining on his fur and turning it silver.

((next morning))

Bardon opened his eyes and looked around. The sun was just rising and making the sky pink and yellow. He sighed and stood up, stretching.
"Not gunna sleep in a chair like that again..." He mumbled as he stretched his back and made it pop.
"Wonder where Jarlon is...?" He chuckled as he saw none of his companions had returned for the night. He thought about going back to the pasture to look for Jarlon and decided he would.

----------------Cahoon pasture

---> Fields

Danielle sighed, the day had started out fine and then Bardon had to go and do that. She sat down in front of the fireplace and watched the dying flame, feeling a million things once.

Imatari padded in behind her and laid down beside the frustrated girl

She turned when she heard Imatari and smiled at her, "Hey Imatari." she said softly.

She placed a paw on her leg and looked up at her with big blue eyes

She put her hand on the tiger's neck and smiled sadly, "Everything just went wrong." she said sighing.

Imatari shook her head side to side. ~nothing went wrong, everything happened as it should have~

"That was all supposed to happen?" she asked, raising an eyebrow, "Well, it still sucks."
