This takes place during 'Revenge' when Becky was sneaking into the castle and got caught by Jim. This is not taking place during the last chapter when she met the king. This is not Becky's Pov, so it doesn't have a dream. Enjoy!

Layla's POV

I sit against a tree as Apollo paces in front of me. Luke comes over and sits next to me. Luke is the one of the 3 kids that has a disability. A girl, Lilly, is deaf and a boy, Noah, has major anxiety. Noah had abusive parents but thanks to Becky, they will never hurt him again. Lilly was lost in the woods the same day she lost her hearing. She would've died if it wasn't for Floria and Nico finding her.

Apollo is a whole different story. His family died during an attack a long time ago. He was out of the house when it happened, so he didn't see anything traumatizing. Apollo's Parents sent him shopping around the village. Becky found him a year or two later after Floria and me. Luke was born much later and was abandoned by his parents. All he has ever known was being poor. Apollo, Floria, Becky and I raised him along with a few other kids.

"Where is she!" Apollo yells worriedly. I comfort Luke and look Apollo in his eyes, "She should have been there by now!"

"Exactly so she will be back tomorrow," I try to say as calmly as possible. He looks at me. His eyes were filled with anger and confusion. He was scared and worried. I looked at Luke. He shouldn't have to hear this.

"You knew her longer than any of us, how are you not worried!" Luke flinched at Apollo yelling so loudly, "How can you just sit there!?" He was angry.

"I am worried! But I know she can take care of herself!" I stood up face to face with Apollo, "You know why? Because she has taken care of every single one of us! So shut up and go do something!" I screamed in his face.

I was always known as the quiet one. I never raised my voice and I'm good with kids. Apollo was always quick to get angry, so I always calmed him down. I rarely got mad. Which is why I shocked myself when I yelled at him.

He looked at me shocked but then walked away. A takes a deep breath and looks back at Luke who is covering his ears. I sat back down and comforted him. Where are you B. Luke taps on my shoulder, making me look down at him. He points at his mouth then his stomach.

I sigh and nod my head knowing what he meant. He smiles then goes to play with the other kids. How much money did she leave? I take out the small bag of money that Becky left. She left just enough for about 2 days. Great! I feel tears start to form and the world starts to spin. My chest feels heavy, and it starts to get hard to breathe. Am i dying! I hold my hand to my throat and hunch over. I don't want to die!

"Hey love, look at me. You're okay just look at me," I hear a familiar voice. I feel someone's hands around me, pulling me into his arms. "Come on breath with me. In and out. In and out."

My breathing starts to go back to normal and my vision starts to clear up. Tears stop rolling down my face and my heart rate goes back to normal. I look up at the person who's holding me. I see an adorable face with beautiful hazel eyes. The brightest blond hair draping down their face. His smile is so soft and so warm.

Apollos Pov

"I'm sorry love," She looks at me innocently, "I shouldn't have yelled at you. I know you're stressed." She shakes her head quickly and gets out of my arms. I feel disappointed. Partly because I can't feel her body on mine and because it's my fault, she had a panic attack.

"H-how'd you know what to do?" She looked at me confused. God, she looks so cute when she's confused. She tilts her head slightly, "I thought I was dying."
