I'm back in Chardon forest waiting on Fynn. I was really excited to tell him about my mom saying yes to the carnival. She never lets me go to things since my dad disappeared, so I am glad that she agreed. I heard footsteps from around the trees and found Fynn walking towards me with a worried look on his face.

"What's the matter, are you alright?", I asked him as he came up to me somberly.

He had a limp that I didn't notice yesterday, and I feared that he might have actually gotten hurt from the beast.

"I'm okay Thora, but what about you? I told you not to be in the woods alone. You could have gotten yourself killed!"

He looked at me in a way that made me want to curl into a ball and never come out. I didn't mean to upset him this much, I didn't know that my actions could hurt him this way.

"There are dangerous things out here that I can't always be here to protect you from. You have to understand that you can't come back here. Not for a long time anyway. You have to go home. Now."

Why was he saying this to me? Did he not want to see me again? What else is in this forest and why won't he ever tell me about them?

"Fynn, tell me what's going on. I can help I promise! Just let me know what I can do. Why do you want me to leave?"

He looked at me with the most soft yet intense gaze I've ever seen. I could tell he was debating whether or not he should tell me. His golden eyes lingered on mine before he let out a disheartening sigh.

He was about to open up to me, but before he could, a blonde haired girl came running through the woods.
"Fynn we need to go now before it's too late."

She kept running and wasn't going to wait around for Fynn's reply. I turned to him to drill more questions at him, but all he did was apologize and run after the girl that I never knew about.
My head was spinning with questions of why he just up and left me.
What was he not telling me? Who was that girl? What dangers could possibly out here that I can't even know about? Was she his girlfriend?
I guess that doesn't matter because I have a loving boyfriend of my own, but I can't shake the feeling of betrayal from him.
What ever was going on here, I will get to the bottom of it. I have to.
