I turn around and see him looking down.

-Don't you have a quest to do too? I whisper
-...
-Don't you have to do that?
-I don't care about the stupid quest anymore. He murmured
-Okay well... I do. I say

He looked up at me with sadness

-Y-you do??! He says
-Like I said, I have no choice. I murmur.
-Everyone has a choice. He says.
-Not everyone. I whisper
-Yes everyone. You don't have to do this! You can just forget about the quest and stay. He pleaded
-If I just forget about it, my dad will get it for Himself! And I can't let him do That! I was starting to cry now.

He pulls me close to him and I cry in his chest.

-All he cares about is that stupid stone! He doesn't care about me and never will! I cry out.

I put away my ears and wings.

- Are you shure about that? He asks me softly

I pull away from his chest and stare into his black eyes.

-He didn't care what I did all my life. When I ever saw him, he would order me to train. He didn't care about my cuts and bruises, he only cared about having that stone. He didn't care about me leaving. Correction, he was glad I left. He was glad that I finally get his precious stone after all these years. I just... don't know what to do. I say between sobs.

He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. I look down and let tears fall.

-He would be wondering where I am. I should've been back a week ago. He probobly thinks I'm dead. I whisper
- Well then there you go. He says

I look at him in confusion

-If he thinks your dead, then you don't have to do that Quest.
-What if he finds Me? I ask him
-Why would he be wandering in the woods this far from his Village? He asks me

I shake my head

-I don't know...
-Trust me on this one. He says
-Why should I ever trust you with anything? You won't let me see your eyes and you won't tell me your name? I protest
-I... don't know. He says

All movement in the woods caught my eye. I tense up, trying to catch his attention. He looks at me then turns around, trying to look where I'm looking. He finally looks where I'm looking and takes his sword out. I do the same

- Show yourself! He yells 

Suddenly, a rabbit hops out of the bush and stares at us.

- -_- 
-Oh... its only a bunny. I say
-I feel a little stupid. He admits
-Yeahhh. You and me both. I say.
-Come, lets go inside. He says, taking my hand.

He lead me inside the house and sat me on the couch. We sat there in silence. After a couple of minuites, we heard a knock on the door. I take out my ears and wings and the stranger took out his purple sword. He moves slowly to the door and I cautiously stood up. he slowly reached out his hand to the door handle but the door opened before he could touch it. It revealed a blond haired girl with devil horns and black wings with a bit of purple

-Hi! She said cheerfully.
-State your buisness. The stranger said, hostility in his voice.
-Why should I tell you anything? She asks.
-Because it could be your ticket to suriving. He threatened.
-Temper now. You don't want to talk to me like that. She says.
-And why not? He asks her.
-Because I was ordered here from the lord of DarkHill, her dad. She says pointing at me.
