Chapter 4- Part 1

A/N: First of all, I just want to applogize for being sooo late! I know this is the first update in a month, but I've been so busy with university. Not only did I have a bunch of assignments due this week (just handed in my last essay yesterday!) but I have my finals coming up too! I also had a lot of problems uploading this chapter on wattpad, just cause my internet at my dorm is so horrible! But I came back home for the weekend, so yayy, finally got this snippet up! I know it's super short (it's more like the teaser of a chapter, rather than a chapter itself), but I honestly had no more time to write this! I had the full chapter written before, but I lost my files on my old laptop, and had to purchase a new one (I've just been having the worst time with technology this week!) I felt horrible for not having an update in such a long time, but I wanted to let you guys know that yes, I am alive, and yes, I will update more often soon! My finals finish on the 17th, so you can expect a couple of updates right after that! I actually know which way this story is going so I'm super excited to write this now! Also, I've ideas for two more stories, but I don't think I'm going to post them up until after the new year begins just because I want to focus on this story first. Anywhoo, lemme know what you guys think of this snippet!

Also, this chapter is dedicated to Natxox for making this amazing cover! I really apppreciate all your hardwork!

Days had passed since the fateful day that I had met the boy. The boy… that was a confusing topic all in itself. Over the past few days, I had grown something similar to fondness for him- almost. I knew I could not be fond of him; we had hardly had a conversation and the one that we did have consisted of me spewing out death threats at him. Yet… yet I couldn’t shrug off this feeling of a connection. Like this wasn’t our first meeting, rather we knew each other. But how could that be possible? I had never seen him in my life! ‘You’re going crazy Jane. Stop over thinking,’ I thought to myself, shaking my head.  

Feeling something wet drop onto my face, I looked up. It was drizzling again. Did it never stop?! If I was supposed to control the weather why couldn’t I just stop the blasted rain! Irritated, I got up to make sure that the boy remained dry. Standing up, I walked around to where I last left the boy, stopping short when I realized that he was no longer there. ‘How could that be possible. I left him right there! How could an unconscious boy just get up and walk away?’ I asked myself, trying to piece together where he could have gone.

Walking over to his blanket, I bent down trying to find any clues that would lead me to him. Seeing footsteps in the wet ground, I stood up to follow them.

“The least he could have done was thank me for saving his life. It’s not like I don’t have anything better to do. I could have used this time to continue on my journey. It’s unsafe for me to stay at one spot. But did he realize that? Noooo he didn’t, because he’s a spoiled brat. That’s what he is. Any other normal person would have had the courtesy to thank someone who just saved their life, or if not that, at least let them know that they’re alive and not leave the their saviour hanging, wondering whether they’re dead or alive. Stupid, stupid idiot.” I muttered to myself. In a bad mood, I cursed myself for not bringing a stick of fire with me, I could hardly see where I was going in this dreadful weather – not that the stick of fire would be much help considering the fact that it was raining, but I was beyond sanity at this point. My concern for the boy grew and I became more and more anxious and cross as I walked deeper into the forest.

Even though I was careful, and made sure that I was aware of my surroundings before I took a step, I still managed to trip over a tree root. Feeling my stomach plummet, I closed my eyes, readying myself for the painful impact that I knew was going to come shortly. Yet it never did. Opening one eye, then the other, I saw that my nose was an inch away from the ground. Dazedly wondering how that could be possible I looked through the locks of hair that had fallen in front of my eyes; not seeing anything in the dark. Then feeling a tightness around my stomach, I glanced down and noticed an arm wrapped around it.

I inhaled sharply as the arm pulled me back up and stood me straight. But before the arm could untangle itself from me, I swivelled around to see the face of my saviour.
