As we traveled I wondered how he was doing but I had to focus on surviving the way things were the enemy was out there and if I wanted to live to see him again someday then I'd do that. Years passed as we took shelter within a cave and I was sixteen at the time knowing that there must have been a reason. I had learned some time ago about soulmate marks which could start showed up by the time I had turned thirteen...but I was sixteen and still didn't have mine. 

I must not have met him.. I thought 

I shook my head at that thought knowing it was crazy but then we started to set a schedule for once a day going to town then sleeping in a hut over night to make it back by morning. Since I was old enough now to help I got mondays to go to town. Sierra took Tuesday, Aiden had Wednesday, Father and Mother had thursday, my grandparents had Friday and then my father took Sunday so he could supply the hut for weeks in advance. 

So when my first Monday came along I was unsure about it as I walked around seeing that there was not going to be much else. I had to get supplies that was my main thing so I started to gather what we needed being calm like any other Ravkan and paid for it as I went to walk away when I bumped into someone with a cloak. At first, I did not recognize him as I apologized. "Sorry" I said but it was when I saw his wrist with that friendship bracelet did I realize that it was him. "Eryk.." I said softly as he looked at me "Anisa" he said 

Before I could nod he took my freehand as he led me to where we could talk in private as I followed him before he stopped. He looked at me seeing I was older than the last time we'd met as he hugged me which caught me off guard but I hugged him back. "You survived..Amira." He said as my eyes widened hearing my name. I'd never heard him use my real name before but somehow it had an affect on me. "Yeah, I did..I always will." I said

We wanted to talk but that had to wait as we went back out and he got supplies he needed before I led the way to a hut. He made sure I made it there safely as inside the hut was a bed and a couch. A place to cook and clean and I had learned a bit before I heard both our stomachs actually growl as we both looked embarrassed. "I'll make something and we can eat..if you want you can stay tonight head to your mother tomorrow morning." I offered 

We both knew that we shouldn't have been doing this as he was to be roughing it out and I was to be alone here but that didn't change anything as he nod. I went over and started to prepare what I could and then set the table for us to eat as we sat across from each other and ate. I watched as his surprise look told me a lot. "You made this..how are you so good?" He asked as I smiled. "Well I took lessons from my grandmother." I said 

We ended up talking turns out we both were living in caves not far from this hut which benefited us. "So you get supplies on Mondays.." He asked as I had some water that I'd given us. "Yea and seems you do too..so why don't we make this a habit? Our little secret until something happens and we have to go separate ways." I suggested as he smiled at that. "Yeah, sounds like we can do that.." He said as he got in the pocket he had and handed me something. I was curious as I put my hand out and when he left it in my hand I took a look surprised.

I was speechless but then he got up as he walked over picking it up from my hand then placing it around my neck

I was speechless but then he got up as he walked over picking it up from my hand then placing it around my neck. "There now you have something from me." He said but I was quiet for a few minutes as I felt my heart tighten at the feel of his fingers brushing against my skin as he had finished with the necklace. "Yeah..I'll never take it off." I promised as he kneeled down by my ear "Amira, my real name is Aleksander." He said as I was surprised when he told me. "I won't tell anyone." I assured him

We smiled as we went about this for months meeting on Mondays and enjoying our time..that it until one night I'd started feeling bad he was always on the couch so for the once we decided to share the bed after all it was big enough. I faced the wall and he faced the kitchen as we slept..until that storm
