The forest was silent. A thin fog was spread waiting for the promising winter. The blanket beneath them was the only thing between them and the wet grass from last day's rain.
"Are you sure for what you 're asking me?" Beck asked unsure for the outcome.
"Yeah, I'm sure. It's time I stop being a cry baby. This is not me Beck. I was always strong and independent. Now look how I've become! Needing protection from others and constantly crying... No! I am not me. But I will be, and I 'll be even better... with your help. Please Beck, please.... I am begging you help me. This will be the last favor I'm gonna ask for. Please teach me how to fight."
"Evelin... I don't know. Learning martial arts and self control is needed for sure and it is definitely gonna work for your advantage but... it's harsh and time consuming. Plus it needs complete focus. Are you ready for something like that?"
"Absolutely. I 've made my decision and I'd be grateful if it was you whom I learned from."
"Then yes. I will help you, my princess... or should I say, my knight?" He joked.
"Funny!" She smacked him in the head.
"Damn girl! You have a strong fist. We could work on it."
"I thought you said I didn't know how to punch."
"True, you don't. But that doesn't mean you don't have a strong body and strong arms."
"Hm... I see." She lay behind, in the blanket and peaked at the sky between the trees.
The forest felt so peaceful and warm without considering the ten degrees in temperature.
"What are you thinking? "Beck whispered.
"Nothing. I'm just enjoying the forest's aura."
"It's nice here... I used to hide in this forest to avoid my mum's yelling some years ago."
"Did it work? "
"Not really. She could be heard miles deep in the forest. She still can so I avoid upsetting her." He smiled.
"Must be nice huh? "
"Having a family? "She nodded." Yeah it's nice... don't worry with time you 'll develop strong bonds with your patents too."
"I know. .. "
Her mind was running wild trying to guess what could be so important for Jason to make a public appearance which moreover has been avoiding in years!
"Hey... wanna know what I'm thinking now? "
"I'm not sure. Do I? "He looked at her warily. "Is it some sort of way to kill me without anyone figuring out it was you?! Crap! We're also deep in the forest... noone will find me." His eyes widened and he pretended to be terrified.
"No, silly! Although I have a few scenarios ready ...just in case. "
"Oh... okay, then tell me." He waited.
"I was thinking maybe we should try some moves now, you know so that my body becomes accustomed to fighting."
"If I told you I mentally placed a bet with myself whether you'd ask me to or not, would you believe me? "
"Depends. Who won? "
"Me. I am great at bets.
"Must be reeeaally hard winning a bet with yourself!"
"To your information it is. Anyway, get up."
She did as she was told, standing face to face with Beck.
