RECAP

"Oh," I kind of felt kind of dumb not thinking of that before. I looked up and saw that camp was already set up.

How do you do that? I thought to her.

A small smile appeared on her face "Get some rest Mteçellia."

Three days! We have been hiking and camping out in this weird forest for THREE. FREAKING. DAYS!

However it wasn't that bad. Sade had taught me a few things like how to start a fire with my bare hands; how to read thoughts/project them; and most importantly, how to hunt. I felt like freaking Katniss Everdeen, when I mastered the bow and arrow! She said that I was a quick learner

I was currently practicing sword throwing...it was not going well. The sword was way too heavy so I had to hold it with both hands. With all my strength, I threw the sword as far as I could, it barely made it two feet from me let alone hit the target.

"That was weak." Sade just popped up out of nowhere, making me jump about a foot in the air. She had arm full of logs and in her bags was berries and 'game', which is hunter for 'dead animals.'

"You have like no upper body strength at all. My gůrthā could beat you up!" I was starting to feel agitated, lately my temper was becoming short. I don't know why and it was scaring me.

"We need to work on your forest senses too." Whatever.

"What's going on with you?" Sade finally looked up from setting up camp.

"Nothing." I snapped. "I'm going for a run."

"Don't get lost, you remember the navigation spell-"

"Yeah, I know the spell! Stop pestering me, you're not my mother!"

I knew that she was trying to help and all but everything, every little thing was aggravating me.

"I need some air." I mumbled and then pushed past her.

You already are out in the air. She thought to me.

Then, I need space! And at that note I ran into the forest, not looking back. I ran and ran until my lungs burned and I had to stop. I felt slightly better than before, the running had calmed me down a bit.

I jolted awake, I can't believe that I fell asleep! Scrambling to my feet I tried to remember where I was and why I felt cold. Then I remembered, the images flashed in my mind overwhelming me, leaving me dazed.

What now? I thought do I go back? No I couldn't, not now anyway, not after how I acted. But I need to go back I could die in these woods.

Why not come with me? A voice sounded in my head. Making me jump because I know that it wasn't mine. But why did it sound so familiar?

"So?" there it was again, but not in my head I spun around, so fast I was dizzy. There he was, standing right in front of me. The seemingly permanent smirk on his face was bigger than ever.

I was confused how did he get here? "The same way that you did princess." it was like he read my mind.

"P-princess?" My brain was working at half its usual pace.

"Yeah, what you don't like it?"

"U-uummm...I-I " For some reason I couldn't stop staring at him...he was so beautiful.
