~~Garroth's POV~~Before Ruby fell asleep for two weeks~~
I smiled as I walked away from the inn that Ruby was staying at. She was a puzzling girl, to say the least. During the trek here, she was fine answering questions like favorite color (sunset orange) and favorite hobby (archery), but whenever I asked something about her past, she would somehow turn the conversation around to me without answering me. She was so mysterious, and so beautiful. 'What am I thinking. She would never go for a guy like me.' Ruby. She reminded me of an old friend from O'kasis, I couldn't remember her name, but she was so tiny when I last saw her. Only 4 years old. Her mother had me watch her a few times when she had to go out.
~~This flashback brought to you by Celery~~
"Garroth. Good to see you." Topaz was saying as soon as my seven-year-old self was through the door. I looked at her.
"Hi, Topaz." I said smiling. Topaz was the girl's foster mom. "Do you need me to watch her?" Topaz nodded, handing the small redhead over. I looked at her face, and saw her bright green orbs staring back at me. Topaz left to do something or another, and I was left in charge.
I had just put her down for a nap when someone banged on the door. I opened it, seeing a large man.
"Can I help you, sir?" I asked. He responded with hitting me over the head with a big stick. I slipped into unconsciousness. That was the last time I saw the little redhead.

Hey, guys. Me here. Sorry for the short, probably horrible chapter this time. I wrote this on my iPod, in a cramped car, with my little sister kicking my seat the entire time. BTW, Gar is only 3 years older than Jewel, making her 4. It sounds like she is a baby, but she is tiny and not very strong yet. She's waddling. And remember, Tomato's secret love for Strawberry must be hidden from Celery at all costs. Bye guys.
