I wake up. Its mornin. Im in the small cave. "Jake..." I look around the small cave. He isn't here. I hear a scream. "Jake!?" I run outside to see him being held by two men. "Hey Jenna... i guess we were we were-" SMACK! I gasp. I freeze in fear as one of the men punch Jake in the stomach. One of the men yank Jakes hair. "Is she one of you? Or is she your next victom!?" The bigger man yells. "I-" Jake was cut off by me saying, "Im with him!"

The bigger man looks at the smaller one. "Kill her." My eyes widen, but i never back down from a fight. The smaller man approaches. "GAH" The bigger man slams Jake on the ground pinning him. The smaller man grabs out a knife and lifts it to stab me, i use my four arm to smack it away. "LET ME GO!" Jake yells. "Never." The man says. "LET ME GO!" She screams. She turns to me. The knife in her hand dissapears. "Never." She says and puts one hand on her eyes.

I stare at Jake remembering what mom said. "I STOPPED, I PROM-" The man covers Jakes mouth. "You will never stop." The man says. He lets go of Jakes mouth. I run over to help him out. I try pushing the bigger man. He stands up letting go of Jake. And pushes me on the ground. I fall down like a bowling pin. "Pathetic." He smirks.

Jake gets up, the smaller man stabs Jake in the stomach. "JAKE!" Jake doesn't even react to the pain. Yet the blood poors on the ground. The bigger man walks over to Jake. Jake runs towards me and grabs my wrist pulling me up. We run together. The two men dont even bother to chase us.

About 10 minutes after running, we slow down. Jake lets go of my wrist and lays down on his back. His hands are cut and he bleeds from his stomach. "Jake..." I sit on my knees. "Hmm?" He turns his head to look at me. "Your stomach..." He looks down at his stomach. "Aaaaye, look at that!" He smiles. He puts one hand on the wound and lifts it back up to look at it. Blood covers his hand.

"I guess i didnt bother to figure out why my stomach hurt so bad." He smirked and layed his head back down. "Soooo, imma die now. It was nice meetin ya Jenna." Jake layed his head down and closed his eyes. Im not surprised he fell asleep so fast, he must be exhausted.

My jaw drops. I can't believe he doesn't even care! I check his pulse. Still alive but definitely dying. I cross my legs and close my eyes. I hovered my hands over his wound. I feel the warmth of a body on my back and breath on my neck. "Imagine a purple fog coming from your hands and entering his wound." The same guy from that elements dream and from the class whispered in my ear. I feel his arms wrapped around me. But I do as told.

I open my eyes. The warmth dissapears and I can no longer feel his breath. My eyes widen. Jake is healed. I get close to Jake and I lay on my side facing his unconscious body. I poke his nose. "Jake." I whisper in his ear. "Jaaake." I say loudly this time. I wait for about 30 seconds before lightly tugging his short brown hair.

"I like that, keep doin that." He says without opening his eyes. I roll my eyes and yank his hair. "Ow!" Jake sits up faster than a bullet leaving a gun. "Mk I'm up, I'm up!" He looks down at his stomach. "Well, would ya look at that." Jake chuckles. "That was weird." I tilt my head. "What was weird?" He scratches the back of his head. "I drempt I put my arms around you and told you how to heal me." My heart beats fast."You what!?" He looks at me.

"I guess those guys killed us, huh?" Jake sighs. "NO THEY DIDN'T KILL US. SOME GUY TOLD ME HOW TO HEAL YOU SO I DID AS TOLD!!!!!" I yell. Jake blankly stares at me. "But I uh... b-but we uh..." Jake shakes his head. "Ya know what just forget it and continue on with our day."

Evening arrives, we have been walking for hours. Jake stops walking. He looks down at my stomach. "How did you heal me? Healers in gaustras use herbs." I turn around. "I don't know. But I do know I'm hungry." I bend over touching the ground. I imagine a tiny pear plant. I lift my hand and there it is. I swirl my finger around it and it grows into a giant tree.

Jake uses his foot to try and shake the pears. A few fall and we eat till we're full. As night arrives we make a new place to sleep. It was a small shelter we made from sticks and large leaves. "The air is cold." Jake huffs, fog leaves his mouth. "Ya, so?" I ask. "It means the air people think it's time for winter." Jake lays down. "I'm not gonna help make it snow again." He says obviously annoyed. "Mk." I say laying down. I close my eyes.
