The Outlaw (Outlander Fanfiction With A Twist)

Diana's P.O.V

I stared ahead enjoying the quiet and peace.  Alongside me rode an adolescent lad by the name Will.  He smirked and gawked ahead too.

"So yer British?"  He broke the silence. 

"Yes."  I responded unpretentiously not really keen on conversing.

"I'm Will."  He put forth.  That kid doesn't apprehend does he? 

"I know it's your first time out huh?" I questioned feeling his giddy eyes bore into my side.

Will started chattering but I tuned him out contemplating my revenge.  In a short period of time I had left before we set out on the journey I managed to gather some information on the soldiers that visited Mackenzie land.  It was unknown to me why they came but I got their name's which were Adrian Andrews, Brigham Carter, Christopher blackwood, Clyde Daniel's (The captain), James Cromwell, David Faulkner, Nathaniel Hamilton and lastly the culprit who destroyed me George Henderson. My shadowed with hate mind was in play.  Darkness was consuming me but I do not care.  I will Find George Henderson and I will start from that friendly little laywer who was having a distant chat with Claire.

We rode in line and once again I tuned back into the conversation Will was leading.

"....... And this is why I'm not scared even tho it's my first time out. "  He stated proudly wanting to look big and almighty.

"Eh so how old are ya?"  He asked eyeing me up and down as if I was a deer.

"Sixteen."  My answers was short.

"Isn't a lass like ye suppose to stay away from dangerous journey's."  He asked making my blood boil.

"As my father said  woman's place is in the safety of her home."  He pondered being completely serious.

"A woman can fight just as well as a man can."  My non existent lecture made his head turn. My cold tone of voice threatened him to back off.

"..Sorry lass. " He apologised swallowing his pride as I gave him a cold shoulder.  Perhaps he didn't want to say anything inappropriate and decide to endure the journey enveloped in censorship. Boys his age were like Omega's in Wolf packs following, doing and thinking exactly what they are taught by the Higher ranks.

"Okay we're taking a break here!!"  Dougal shouted as we neared a shimmering basen filled with water stretching out  for miles.

I halted Bear and jumped off the creature tying him to a pole beaten into the ground. It  looked like an organised campsite for people that passed by and needed a break.  A fire pit was situated in the middle ready to be burnt by flames.  The thought of indulging some crispy roasted meat made my mouth water.

Everybody was settling in.  Dougal ordered men around instructing on who would start the fire pit, who would Bring out the meat and roast it and who would guard the camp.  Most of the Scots got job's and I was left to do my own thing, relax and for once without any interruptions enjoy the view. 

The lake was beautiful and the weather was on our side sending rays of sunshine down on us. A few feet away from me right beside the lake stood Claire and the lawyer.  Seems like they were becoming good friends.  Claire had someone with the same interest to keep her distracted while I had my thoughts.  Not that I was complaining I'd rather carry on with my plan quite soon and then live alone in peace and quiet. 

"Claire!!"  I called out after my sister just as she finished explaining something while handing the lawyer a pipe. Claire took a quick glance in my direction and nodded. 

Excusing herself from the frail looking man she walked over to me with a wide  smile probably masking the fact that something troubled her.

"Yes?"  She asked sitting down beside me.  Just like the the outsiders we were we sat away from the Mackenzies letting them have some craic.

"Don't freak out... I have something very important to tell you..."  I trailed off unsure if I was doing the right thing.  Claire seemed to perk up and the 'i have something very important to tell you. '

"Go on then."  She remarked.  A bomb was about to fall on her.... A big bomb was about to fall on her...

"I came here for a reason... Your my sister Claire..." I said shocking myself with how much lighter my shoulders felt and how much easier I could breathe. I finally mustered up my courage and said it.  But will she belive me?

"It can't be..."  Confused Claire covered her mouth with her hand.

"I'm Diana Margaret  Beauchamp Phoenix... I was born Sixteen years ago and I was abandoned and became an orphan at the age of three... Roamed the streets for a while until a gang leader Robert found me and took me in....I searched for you.. The news of your sudden disappearance spread throughout the whole United Kingdom. I managed to get go Inverness and visit Craigh na dun ending up in the 1700's. Now I'm here finally mustering up some courage to tell you all of this.  I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner I was scared on how you'd react with such  information. "  I was breathless after explaining what happened.  Claire paled and fainted falling into my arms. I don't really blame her.. She just found out some pretty  big  and important news.

"Claire." I heard Jamie'a voice when he bolted over to us knocking over some other guy on his way.

"Is she okay!!??"  He asked me taking her into his arms.  That guy is really hooked up on her.  I couldn't help but laugh.

"She just... Fainted!"  I managed to choke out to the worried fool. It took me some time to cool down but I did.

"She heard some big news and her brain decided to take a small nap. She'll wake up in a bit." I informed him.  He didn't let go off Claire , Jamie sat there with her in his arms.  It really looked cute.

I sat up and walked away leaving Jamie and Claire to themselves.
