Once we had eaten we packed up some food and rowed to the woods. we casually began to walk through the them, we were holding hands. They began to climb a massive hill. slightly exited I ran ahead. Tim followed also. When we got there we found out that it was a cliff over looking a valley. I slowly walked forward to look down into the valley. My mouth dropped but my heart dropped further. I fell to my nee's, crying. I began to shake all over.
"What's wrong princess?" Tim asked worried.
"L...l...look." I said pointing over the cliff.
Tim stepped forward so he could see into the valley.
"It's only fire." he said looking at me confused. I shook my head "look closer."
He did, the he saw it to, "omg."
"This is all my fault, I should have just died when I was meant to! Then non of this would have happened." I blurted out, sobbing.
"It's not your fault, they decided to help us." he try's to comfort me.
"I'm their queen, they had no choice but to help in some way, if I'd have just stayed and fought and let you guys go, everyone would be safe."
"They would have killed you! They put you in your own home to weaken you."
"So what! At least you guys would be safe."
"Wait what do you mean 'so what'?"
"So what if I died, non of the fight at Toby's town would have happened or you being poisoned by your own brother, or this!" I said shaking.
"Don't say that!"
"It's true."
Suddenly we hear a whisper from in the woods.
"Ma'am" it said.
"Hello." I said recognising the voice.
The voice burst out crying, "they came, they came to the mountains, we tried to fight but we couldn't, there was too many they took us all, our children made it out, there was a hidden exit to the back of the cave, the rest of us were taken. I managed to escape because of my ability, the other we're not so lucky. Please try and find out children when you can."
"What about you?" I ask.
"I cannot live with this in my mind, I must join them."
I nod understanding however Tim doesn't understand fully. Then the person runs and jumps off the edge of the cliff. I watch as he jumps.
"What no!" Tim shouts. He shouts other things, I cannot hear him. my hearing blots out. I begin to feel sick. I can't breath.
I scream at the top of my lungs.
"I'm gonna kill them." I say quietly, repeating it over and over again.
"What is it? Do you see?" Tim asks.
"L...l..look, there." I say pointing. A second fire is burning in the background.
"What this time?" Tim says to himself, then spots it. I begin to cry. my sobs are loud.
"The children." I hear Tim say before I black out.

I wake up with a start and panting. I'm cuddled up to Tim's chest and he watching TV. Maybe it was all just a bad dream.
"I guess we're not going back in the woods again." Tim remarks. I sigh, no it wasn't a dream.
"Well we don't need to go anywhere to have fun though do we?" Tim adds. I smirk, get up and then go to our room so I can read some more of the book I was reading.
I've read another five chapters when I hear the door close.
"Your not going to disturb me again are you?" I say.
He must be able to see I've been crying. "have you been crying?" He asks.
I look up from my book, my eyes red from crying.
"It's book." I say, "it's very..... emotional?"
Tim chuckles then jumps on the bed, sitting next to me. He kisses me them says "your know, your a terrible lier."
He kisses me again, "but I don't care, I love it."
I begin to kiss him back.

I eventually fall asleep in his arms. My dream is not a good one, but not a bad one either.
