"Aaron." Aphmau says.

"Aaron? Didn't take him for the type of person to do this kind of thing." I say.

"Garroth is head guard, so he's out. Plus, there is news of upcoming wars. So Laurence and Dante have to stay here. Aaron isn't technically a guard, but he'll be as good as one."

"Ok. I'm ready as I'll ever be." I sigh.

"You can back out if it's too hard."

"No. I have to at least try to bury them. I have to go back."

"If you say. Good luck." I nod and head to the gate. I see Aaron and Laurence with horses.

"Hey guys." I say. Aaron nods.

"F/N. I need to talk to you before you leave." Laurence says.

"Ok." I say. Laurence leads me away so Aaron can't hear us.

"Be safe. I don't know if I trust this guy yet." He says.

"I will be. I trust him enough. Don't worry about me." I say.

"I do though. I wish I could go. Take care." He kisses me on my cheek. I blush a bit. He walks off, going back to his duties. I shrug it off and head over to Aaron. I hop on my horse. It's a beautiful white horse with black dots on it. I command her to go. Aaron and I take off. His horse is black, with white dots. The opposite of mine. We have to hurry because it's kinda far. We make it somewhere between half way and a three quarters.

"We should stop. It's getting later and it's still a bit far." I say, making my horse slow down.

"I agree." Aaron says. We tie up the horses and set up camp. I get a fire going while Aaron pitches the tents. We eat some of our food after we feed the horses. After the horses are taken care of, we fight to say who should have the first watch.

"Go to sleep. I'll take the first watch." Aaron says.

"No. Forgive me, but I know you won't let yourself get to much sleep." I say.

"I'll be fine. I'll wake you."

"No. Plus, I can't sleep. My mind is wandering too much."

"Try. Don't worry. I'll wake you."

"Nope. Please let me have the first watch."

"Fine." He says walking to the tent. He falls asleep really fast. Figured. I was out really late last night. I keep looking at the map. My village is on the map. It's old, because my village is so small on it. I shake the sleep from my eyes. It's like I'm tired, but I know I'll never sleep. Guess I'll have to entertain myself. I have an idea! I take the cup I was drinking from. I start to use it like an instrument. I mess up over and over till I get it right. I haven't sang this or used a cup as an instrument in a while. It takes an an hour or so, but I get it. I try to remember the song to. It takes a bit, but I remember. It was a game the younger villagers would play.

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
Two bottle whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I'm leaving tomorrow. What d'you say?

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I've got my ticket for the long way 'round
The one with the prettiest of views
It's got mountains, it's got rivers
It's got sights to give you shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my hair
You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You're sure gonna miss me when I'm gone

When I'm gone, when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me by my walk
You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I hear clapping. I turn to see Aaron. I blush and I'm thankful for the cloak I have on and for the dark.

"Thanks. It was a game in the village. I'm surprised I remembered it. At least something will live on other than me. I can probably teach the kids in Phoenix Drop." I say.

"I think they would like that F/N. I think it's time for me to keep watch." Aaron says. I look up to see the position of the moon.

"I guess your right. Oh! Did I wake you?"

"No. I woke up on my own."

"Sure......... Ok than. I'll sleep." Him and I switch places.

"Night Aaron." I say, curling up.

"Night F/N." He replies.

Aaron's POV

I wake up to the sound of F/N's singing. It sounded like Lily's. I miss them. Lily and Jacob. I wait till she finishes to make myself known. I sit up and clap. Her attention shifts from the cup to me. I can't really see her face.

Once I take the watch I listen to hear if she really did fall asleep. She doesn't, however.

"Having a hard time?" I ask her. She sits up and rubs the sleep from her eyes.

"Yeah. I told you earlier." She says. She gets up and sits next to me, looking at the fire.

"Try to sleep. I can help somehow. I don't know how, but I don't know." I can't seem to find the right words. She looks at me and has a small smile on her face.

"Thanks, but I have an idea." She gets up and lays down in a place where the trees break so you can see the sky.

"See that one." She says pointing. "That one is from Greek Mythology. She was a huntress of Artmis. She was brave and died in battle. She was so close to the goddess, Artmis had her live on. By putting her in the stars."

"I haven't hear about that one." I say.

"Course not. Only if you lived in V/N. That group of stars remind us if her. So, we call it Zoey Nightshade. Her name."

"Anymore unique ones?"

"Come here. I'll show you." I get up and lay next to her. She names many kinds of stars. Being far from the fire, she gets kinda cold.

"A-and that o-one is-" She says, shivering. I put my arm around her so she warms up. She curls up into my embrace and continues. She starts to doze off a bit and falls asleep in my arms. She looks the most at peace I've ever seen her.

Sup?

Ok, so no one shout at me for doing an Aaron scene cause only one person commented and I wanted to write the chapter. So yeah. If at anytime you want a scene with a different guy, comment down below.
