Chapter 5

Faeth's POV

I felt the cold air nip at my skin as I shivered and curled up into Leliana's arms.

"Are you cold?" I heard Leliana ask as she stops. Making the entire group stop. Cassandra groaned.

"We don't have time for this small stop," Cassandra said through gritted teeth.

"Cassandra, calm down. Ill just take this Great Bear Hide out of my pack and wrap her up in it." Leliana said as she knelt to the ground. I wrapped my arms around her neck, not wanting to go down on the ground. Her hands went to a pack as she pulled out a large blanket out. My eyes widen with happiness as she wrapped it around me.

"Thank you, Leli." I said. She smiled.

"Your welcome, sweetie." She said while she stood back up and continued to walk.

After what seemed like hours we ended up stopping as fighting happened.

"when are the monsters going away?" I asked as I hid my face in Leliana's hood.

"Hopefully when we get this breech closed." She replied while kicking at a monster.

"Kill it!" I cried out.

"Shh." Leliana said while rubbing my head. After a while the fighting quiet but someone grabbed my hand again and it felt like something was yet again attached to it. I cried out in pain as I snatched my hand away from it.

"What is that?" I asked.

"It's a rift. The mark on your hand closes them." Solas said.

"Well, I don't like it. It hurts." I said as I snatched my hand back out of his hand.

"Well, it's the only way to get rid of the demons." Solas said. I crossed my arms in disappointment.

"Can't someone else do it?" I asked.

"Stop arguing with us. Your the only one with the mark!" Cassandra yelled. I frowned.

"I want Mama." I said as I hid into Leliana's arms.

"We have already told you-" Cassandra began.

"Cassandra," Leliana warned. "She is just a child keep that in mind."

"I know!" Cassandra growled as she turned around and started to march forward but she was stopped with someone in front of her.

"So this is the survivor. A child?" The man asked. I turned my body around so I could fully face and see him. He was tall with blonde hair. He wore some strange fur on top of his shoulders. Along with armor underneath it.

"Yes. " Cassandra said.

"She...looks similar to you, Leliana. Is she related to you?" The man asked. Leliana chuckled.

"No. She is the youngest Trevelyan. Her name is Faeth." Leliana said.

"Well, Hello little one. My name is Cullen." The man said.

"Can I have one?" I asked. He looked at me strangely.

"Have what?" He asked.

"That!" I exclaimed as I pointed at the fur on his arms.

"Oh, my coat? Its would be way to big on you. Maybe we can get a smaller one made for you. That depends on if we live." He said. My eyes widen.

"Were going to die?" I asked.

"Cullen, She is already scared out of her mind. Don't scare her more." Cassandra said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"You don't like me, do you?" I asked as I turned my gaze to her. Her eyes showed that she was by far annoyed.

"Let's just get you to the breech. I'm ready to get this closed and over with." Cassandra said while walking near a bunch of rubble and climbing over it all.

Cassandra's POV

Once the entire group made it over the rubble Faeth let out a gasp. I turned to her as she was squirming out of Leliana's arms. Once she was out she ran to a burnt body.

"Bubba..." She said slowly, her hands picked up a few things that was near the body. She looked at the items.

"What-" I was about to say.

"Shh." Leliana whispered as she watched Faeth.

"Bubba..." She repeated.

Leliana's POV

I frowned as I slowly made my way to the child. Once I reached her I knelt in front of her.

"Bubba..." Was the only thing she was able to say before she broke into sobs. I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her up. Softly cooing to her as she cried against my shoulder. Whatever items were in she hands she ended up dropping and started to cling her tiny hands to my shoulders.

Cullen's POV

 This burnt body much belong to her brother. She couldn't have been able to tell but I did notice that she had found a few things that she ended up dropping once her hands found Leliana's shoulders. I dropped my head as I looked at the items that Faeth dropped. Confused I knelt down to the ground and picked up on of them. It was a stainless steel coin. It had a symbol on it. It looked liked the Trevelyan family heraldry. I pulled out my pack as I placed each item in the bag. I was sure that Faeth would want to keep them.
