Emily could feel the child tremble as she held her and worried that she may never be alright. She could not imagine what Bianca had seen and what she continued to see when she closed her eyes and Emily could only hope that she would live a normal life. Morning came quicker than she had expected, once the child had fallen asleep in her arms she soon drifted off into a deep sleep herself. She only woke late in the morning when Bianca stirred in her arms. The child didn't speak much once she was awake, she listened at least which allowed Emily to tell her where they were going and what they were planning to do. After a brief explanation and receiving a slight nod from the girl she took Bianca's hand in her own and left the little shed that they had sought shelter in for the night.

Outside it was chilly despite it nearing the early afternoon now. Emily had noticed the change in weather as they continued their journey and from studying the map she could tell that it would only become colder. Emily removed her cloak then leaned down wrapping it around the child, Bianca look up at her confused by this. "It's cold, you will need that for where we are going." The girl opened her mouth to protest but nothing came out, instead she silently accepted the cloak. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Emily said then smiled at her, she took the girl's hand in her own then went over to the horses.

After checking the bags strapped to the horses she leaned down to help Bianca get onto the horse. Emily lifted her and once the girl was seated properly she looked around for Alton then called out for him. "Alton?" She spoke as clearly and as loud as she could so that he could hear, then she waited.
