"We can just get stuff on the way." I explain as Luke pulls me through the trees.
We stop in a clearing and he sits on the ground, clearly stressed. I plop down next to him.
"Are you ok?" I ask silently begging his eyes to meet my own.
"Of course." He says with his eyes glued to the ground.
I take hold of his chin between my thumb and index finger, forcing him to look at me.
His light blue eyes glance into mine for a moment and then they make their way back to the ground.
"Luke what's wrong?" I ask wrapping my arm around his waist.
He ignores me.
"Luke?" I say quietly not wanting to anger him.
He looks at me and his eyes are glazed over with tears.
I wrap an arm around his waist and hug him tight.
"It's okay Luke. We'll be okay."
He hugs me back and stands from the ground. He offers me a hand and I take it using it to pull me up.
"I love you Ashton."

"How much farther." I groan staring down at my aching feet.
Luke looks back at me.
"We have quite a distance."
I let out a louder groan.
Luke chuckles softly and I've had enough of all of this. The running. The killing. The walking.
I sit down on the dirt floor crossing my arms and legs in refusal of getting up.
Luke continues walking not even noticing I have sat down.
I clear my throat.
He looks back confused.
"What are you doing Ashton?" He asks.
I look at his smiling face with the most serious look I have.
Which isn't much.
"I quit." I simply say.
Luke laughs a deep laugh.
"You quit?" He asks grabbing his chest.
"Yes." I answer not understanding why he is laughing.
He drops to his knees grabbing his sides, tears leaking from his eyes at how hard he is laughing.
He regains his composure and stands.
"You do realize, if you quit you're immediately dead?"
"Why do you say that?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well 1) you're in the middle of a forest and you probably don't know how to get back. And 2) if you do get back you'll be caught and executed." He explains.
"Hey...... I- shut up."
He laughs and picks me up.
"Well if you aren't going to come I'm going to carry you."
I let out a squeal.
"Luke stop." I scream as he tickles my waist.
I wrap my arms around his neck and play with his hair.
He stops his walking and sits down on a stump.
"Fuck." He breathes out pulling me into a kiss.
His hands brush my sides lightly and I swear I am melting under his touch.
He lightly squeezed my bum and my breathing hitches.
He pulls away.
"Sorry Ash but we have to finish this later." He says helping me off of his lap.
I walk ahead of him and I can feel his eyes watching me as I walk.
I run a hand through my hair and slow my pace.
"You're so beautiful princess." He whispers, his hot breath tickling my ear.
I giggle as he kisses my cheek lightly and walks in front of me.
A pain in my gut emerges from nowhere and next thing I know I'm falling to the ground.
"Ugh." I cry out as I clutch my stomach.
Luke runs towards me and my vision goes blurry.
Luke holds me crying as he reaches for my face.
He pulls them back.
Only weird thing is, his hands are covered in blood.
