They were now standing next to a small camp and Ashton looked at Liam with a questioning expression.
"I thought we could camp here for the night."
"Are you kidding me? Do you want werewolves to kill us in our sleep?" Ashton glared.
"What is it with you and werewolves?"
"Liam." Ashton sighed and then looked over his shoulder, knowing it will be hard leaving the woods by himself since he didn't even payed attention to the path they were taking.
"You always wanted to camp."
"Yeah it came with my desire to live. Now they're both gone." Ashton bitterly muttered and Liam looked at him for a few moments befor moving on.
"Its just one night. Tomorrow you will be back with Luke and everything will be back to normal."
Ashton didn't even bothered making a comment on that sentence and Liam realized what he said only moments later.
"I didn't mean it that way-"
"Just forget it."
Two hours later they were both sitting infront of eachother and a small fire between them. The dark surrounded them along with the faint noises of bugs and owels.
"Well?" Ashton finally asked.
Liam looked at him and didn't say a word so Ashton continued.
"Why did you want to spent the night here? What is it more to tell?"
"In that day, when I left you in the woods, I went to find someone hoping he could help us."
"Who is it?"
"Our father. But he didn't want to help."
"I wanted to take you with me but he's.. different. He's not like the father you had your whole life Ashton."
"I don't care. I'm not planning to reunite with him or something." Ashton shrugged and watched the fire again.
"I know but I still thought he will want to help his sons."
"And he didn't?"
"No. He wanted nothing to do with us because he was afraid it will get him revealed."
"Okay.." Ashton trailed.
"I guess its just you and me now."
"Stop saying that Liam, I still hate you for what you've done. You lied to me, there's nothing worse then making someone think his parents are alive for two years."
"If I would have told you-"
"It doesn't matter what would have happened. You still didn't had the right." Ashton spat angrily, now feeling his body warm up.
"Okay," Liam stared at his eyes and watched as the fire reflection danced in them.
It was silent for a few minutes and then Liam spoked again.
"I thought maybe we could practice or something, help you gain a better control."
"So that's why were here?"
"Yes. Its pretty isolated in this area."
"What if someone will still cross here?"
"Don't worry."
****
They spent the night with the small fire that slowly died into the darkness, both boys sleeping with a thin blanket on each of them.
Ashton woke up and at first, he just stared up at the trees. After he felt the ache in his back he pulled himself to sit and made a noise on puropse to wake Liam. He didn't want to talk to him or actually do something but he was depended on him now because he didn't knew the way back so he woke him up so that day will be over already.
