{3rd person}

Over the next few weeks Ayla started to come out of her room more, not just to get food.
She still kept to herself, she would never speak more then having to say hello.

Most of the time she was sleeping or just sitting in the arm chair by the window with Kaige at her feet.

But slowly she did star to come out of her room and join the others at the table.

                      **********

{Ayla POV}

I had woken up, to find that the sun had already risen.
I sat up and slid out of bed, carful not to wake Kaige up from where he slept at the end of my bed, he hadn't left my side over the weeks that I've been here.

I pad over to the door with my bare feet, I can hear talking coming from down stairs.
As I walk down the stairs on silent feet, I'm slammed into the wall as a black object shoots past me, Kaige, he must of followed me.

Knowing that my cover was blown I carried on down the stairs on less silent feet.

Walking into the dining room, I behold Kaige sitting on a not very pleased Amren while everyone is trying to stop Kaige from eating the rest of the bacon,
I let out a sigh.
Amren turns to me, " could you at least try and control your over grown dog"
At that remark, everyone turns to me.

I call Kaige of as I ask, " may I join you?". " of course" Az is quick to answer.
I walk over to the seat Az had pulled out for me, Kaige is now sitting at my feet with his head on my knee.
" I'm assuming you would like more clothes, considering what your wearing." My head turns to Rhysand as he speaks then back down at the large blood stained shirt I have on.
I just nodded.

I look around the room as Az pilled food onto my plate.
" you need to put on some wait, you look like you could snap like a twig."
My eyes stop wondering when they land on Amren, I raise an eyebrow as I say, " well I'm sorry, but you don't exactly get thrown a feast every day when your being tortured." I think the one named Cassian chokes making Mor pat his back, Amren eyes seam to soften, if that's possible.

I pick up a roll from the pile of food on my plait, I bite into it and have to hold back a moen at how good it taste.

After finishing the whole plait, I think for a moment then asking no one in particular, " is there somewhere i can train?"
" maybe you can try the putting on wait, before you go fighting." Amren answers, I open to push back but she cuts in " end of discussion" I pout like a little child.
Everyone raises an eyebrow towards Amren clearly never seeing this motherly side.

                   **************

I return to my room to find neatly folded clothes, they are of night court fashion, the bottoms are lose and easy to move in and the colour of the night sky and shimmer like the stars, there's a silver band around the waist and ankles, slits go from the silver band around my ankles up to around six inches from the silver band around my waist, these slits are on both legs inside and out, the top is the same colour as the bottoms with silver bands around the wrists, the sleeves had slits in the inside and out like the bottoms, the top was cut to just  above my belly button.
As I'm changing I notice the two scars on my back where my wings should be, but that's not what caches my attention, over the scars a rash has started to form, I shrug it of as nothing and remember to ask someone for an ointment.

                         ***********

I've been exploring the house for an hour, every room is more breathtaking then the other, the library is full of books that contain there own world, I could sit there and read all day, but instead I carry on, I come out through two wide doors into the most beautiful garden I've ever seen, flowers blossom everywhere, every flower a different colour, there's a small patio table with two chairs ether side,I walk over and sit in one of the chairs and pull out a book I got from the library.

I was to interested in my book that I didn't notice anyone enter the garden until they were standing right in front of me, they tap me on the shoulder startling me.
I look up over my book to find a golden-brown girl with the most entrancing brown eyes I've ever seen.
She's smiles at me as she says, " hi, I'm Elian, I don't  believe we've met." I shake my head and say quieter then I wanted, " I'm Ayla, a friend of Azriel."
The sound of his name makes something light up in Elain's eyes, interesting.
" may I sit." She points to the chair on the other side of the table, I nod.
" so how do you know Azriel?" I ask her, " I'm Feyre and Nesta's sister."
" Nesta?"
" you haven't met her yet?"
I shake my head,
" well warning when you do, don't take it personal if she is cold towards to you, she's like that to everyone."
I give a small smile in answer.

We sit in silence for a while until I say, " it's a beautiful garden." I look over at her, " thank you, I look after it myself."
I smile at her, not knowing what else to say, I get up to carry on my search through the house.

I went down stairs to find Mor sitting on one of the coaches I sit on the one facing her. She looks over at me and smiles the most beautiful smile I've ever seen, " you don't have to sit over there, I don't bite." She says, " speak for yourself." Came a voice from the door way, I turn around to find Cassian standing there, he grins at use as he walks over and lands himself by Mor, she shoves him of, " I don't want to sit next to you, you smell like wet dog." at that Kaige comes bounding in soaking wet, " why is he wet" I ask, " oh, he followed me when I went out, and he kinda jumped in the pine green lake." Cassian says with a apologetic smile,
I just humph of a laugh, then I duck as I see that he's about to shake, splattering us with cold water.
