Murtagh agreed to continue the search for Jamie together with me instead of Jenny, who was now on her way home towards her husband and childeren. With the order to plant Potatoes to protect her family for the famine that was going to happen after Culloden.
Murtagh was a silent travel companion and to be honest I needed that more than one who talked mine ears of mine head.
"Dae ye hae some special skill that kin attract Jamie' attention?" He suddenly asked and I thought.
"Not really," I answered honestly. "I can dance a bit and sing but not good,"
"That mist dae." He said without any explanation.

A few days later I figured out what he meant, he used me to gather attention through every village we where traveling through. I performed dressed up as man, singing a vulgar song made me quickly know around the highlands wondered how long it would take Jamie to find us.
Murtagh had none luck finding out about Jamie and I grew tired of performing each night. Until we reached a small village where a lady stopped us telling somebody was waiting for us in a cave nearby.
With all of mine hope I rushed towards it in hope to see Jamie but that was quickly scattered as I noticed who it was.
"Dougal?" I breathed out. "What in the Devil' name,"
"Sorry tae disappoint ye lass," he spoke softly and I crossed mine arms.
"Where is Jamie?" I asked as Murtagh softly laid his hand on mine elbow.
"He's alive," Dougal started and I felt mine knees wobble. "He wis taken at achnascheen, drawn by yer song," mine knees now collapsed and I would have fallen if Murtagh wasn't still holding me.
"Where is he now?" I managed to speak.
"He is in Wentsworth jyle, in three days o' noo he'll be hanged," Dougal answered and I felt a spark off hope. I could save Jamie.
"Murtagh, we need to go," I wanted to turn around but Dougal grabbed mine arm.
"Ah will need a word wi' ye alone," he spoke and I looked at him.
"There are no words left to be said Dougal," I spat. "Not after all you have done," 
I turned around and rushed out of the cave. I could and I would save Jamie.
"Lass hauld yer horses, we need a plan!" Murtagh called after me and I I turned around.
"I already have one Murtagh, all you need to do now is to follow me this time,"
He nodded and we ascended our horses again making way to Wentworth prison

Murtagh had gathered along the way the Ten men who where traveling with Dougal. It seemed less but it had taken Jamie four to save me from Fort William.
Luckily enough nobody asked questions and followed me without hesitation, proving me the loyalty they felt for Jamie. Altough the weren't very fond of the idea of storming Wentworth prison.
"I'll go first, ask to speak to the ward of the prison. Figure out where Jamie is and if he is still alive. Then we will met back at the rendezvous point to discusse the attack." I explained mine plan and Angus looked at Murtagh.
"Aye, she is insane," he spoke and Murtagh shrugged his shoulders.
"Bit she kens whit she is daein' 'n' she wull mak' sure tis aff tae be a'richt," Murtagh said in mine defence and I looked at him.
"So," I looked at the Prison in the distance. "Wish me luck,"
A soft luck wish was given as is ascended mine horse and as I gave the sign to let him run he brought me to it.
Closer to Jamie, closer to hopefully his freedom.
