Lena heard the knock on the door and opened it. "Deanna?" She asked, noticing the unease in the young woman's eyes and body language. "What's wrong?"

" Someone might be following me. Tracy called me an hour ago and said I could stay here until things settled. " Deanna said.

Lena nodded, knowing that Deanna wouldn't lie about something like this. "Alright. Do you want me to let Trace know you're here?" she asked.

Deanna nodded. " Is it alright if I come inside first." She asked, knowing sometimes non trainers needed to ask for entry to a gym.

"I'm sorry, of course you can," Lena quickly said.

Deanna gave a small smile and went inside. She felt much better being in here.

Lena noticed that Deanna was feeling much better once she was within the walls before asking if she needed any help.

(I hate to ask a stupid question...but is Lena a human or a Bishie and if she is a Bishie, is she the same Leena from WH13?)

( Lena is a human but isn't the same Leena from WH13)

" Not really. I'll be fine for now." Deanna said not wanting to worry Lena. She wasn't sure how much Tracy had told everyone.

(alright. It was a crazy thought that I had when I woke up and was like "...wait a second" lol)

"Alright," Lena replied with a small smile.

Deanna waited for Tracy and hoped that she would be safe here. She didn't think anyone else knew she was here.

Tracy and Eragon exited the area a little afterwards before heading to the lobby. Seeing Deanna there, she felt a small weight come off her shoulders. 'Good, she made it here safely,' she thought to herself as she waved to Dea.

Deanna waved back and started to head toward her friend. She wondered when Tracy had gotten another Bishie. Deanna promised herself once this was over she would become a trainer.

Tracy saw Dea waved back and heading closer to her. "She's a friend," Tracy whispered to Eragon, not wanting him to make a fool out of himself unintentionally.

"Thanks again for letting me stay here. " Deanna said when she was closer to Tracy.

"Don't mention it Dea. Speaking of which, Eragon, this is Deanna, or Dea for short. Dea, Eragon," Tracy said.

" Nice to meet you Eragon. " Deanna said and offered her hand for a hand shake.

Eragon shook her hand lightly. "A pleasure to meet you Miss Deanna," He replied.

Deanna blushed a little bit. "How long have you been with Tracy. " She asked curious.

"Just a few days actually," he responded truthfully.

" Really?"Deanna said. She was glad her friend would have someone to keep her safe.

Eragon nodded at Deanna's question, curious as to why she asked.

The Eraser growled lightly when he saw the female head inside the gym, knowing that they would have to wait, something that they despised doing.

"Just wondering really. I have been hearing of the recent discovery of Bishies near the town. " She said.

"Ah. I have noticed that as well. I think Tracy caught me by blind luck," he said, causing Tracy to blush lightly in embarrassment.

Deanna giggled the tuned serious. " I think I was followed on the way here. Though I can't be sure. " She said.

"Followed? You think it was by them?" Tracy asked, confusing Eragon.
