It felt like time was moving in slow motion. Jax was dead asleep while Ellie smiled at him and started to get closer. Honestly, don't know they could've gotten any closer.......... She then kissed him on the cheek. WHAT?!?!?! My eyes widen. She looks at the door that is opened a little bit and I'm worried that she can see me. So I dart out of her sight as fast as I can.

I walked back to my room and lay down. Out of the corner of my eye, I see my bow. I pick it up carefully and exhale. I have plenty of bows, but my dad made me this one so that why it's my favorite. It had my name carved into it too. I set it back down and then head to bed.

********************************************

I was so focused nothing can stop me. My eyes were burning holes into the bullseye. My arrow positioned just right. All the sudden, someone grabs my waist. I laugh. The person whirls me around and I'm immediately met with a pair of violet eyes. So much for being focused.

"Hey Thief. Watcha doing?"

"Archery until you suddenly disturbed me." I say in mock disapproval.

"Aw you love me though." He says burying his head in my neck. I roll my eyes. "Wanna hang out today?"

"What about Ellie?" I say bitterly. He sighs.

"What's your deal with her?"

"I just don't like her. And anyways why were you in her room last night?"

"She had a nightmare."

Flashback:

Tears streaming down my face and shallow breaths continue to rattle my body.

"Thief?" Jax opens the door.

As soon as I see him, I burst into tears. He rushes over to me.

"What wrong?"

"Nightmare." I gasp through my tears. He hugs me and we stay like that for a while, my tears making a damp spot on his shoulder, him hugging me tightly and not letting go.

End of flashback

"Gilly?"

"Huh?" I say, snapping back to reality.

"You okay?" His violet eyes flash in concern.

"Yeah, yeah. It's nothing."

"Okay. If you're sure." He says still not buying my lie. I clear my throat.

"Yeah sure. We can hang right now."

He puts his arm around me and we start walking into the village.

There are so many people. Kids running around, shopkeepers selling their latest products, people throwing a penny in the fountain, and people shopping.

We stop in at Three Little Pigs and sit down.

"Let me guess, the three stack pancakes with bacon and sausage?" I smile.

"You know me so well."

A girl that looks around the same age as us comes over with a notepad.

"Hi there! My name is Isabel and I will be your waitress today. What can I get you?"

"I'll take the pigs in a blanket and the lady will take the three stack pancakes with bacon and sausage." Jax says with a wink. I felt my face grow hot. No Gilly! Snap out of it!

The waitress brings our food a couple minutes later and we start to eat. All the sudden, I get a notification on my phone.

"What?" Jax asks when he sees my face.
