***************************************

It was midnight.

After the whole "I'm your father but I can't tell you anything about me. But oh wait. I'm the king of this place." Tarn and my father dragged me along behind them on a long journey to god knows where. Neither of them would tell me anything. Not a word. Not even a "watch your step," or an "Ashana be careful. There's a rock." Just, silence.

At least Keira was beside me, gently padding along at a slow jog. Best wolf ever. Even if she's only been mine for a few hours.

I was still pissed. I hated not being filled in on things. What if there was information that I needed to know? What if, if I didn't know something, I'd get eaten by some giant, scary monster? Ugh, I hate this.

I stared at the back of Tarn's hairy head. I was tempted to quietly run off into the woods but that would be dangerous. Hoorah.

Just as the thought crossed my mind, Tarn whipped around and grabbed onto my elbow, tightly. His eyes were narrowed and angry. I stared back at him, as stubborn as ever.

"Don't even think about running into those woods without me Ashana." He growled.

Great. Now he can read my frickin mind.

"Oh no?" I said dangerously causing his eyes to narrow even further. "What would happen if I did? You see I don't know anything about this place so I wouldn't think it would be dangerous now would I Tarn?" I grumbled. He stared at me in disappointment. I lifted my right eyebrow in confusion to his reaction.

"You really think you're fooling anyone, Ashana? I know you're pissed that you don't know what you want to. But this shit is dangerous."

"Tarn. Language." My father warned him.

"Sorry." His eyes stayed focused on mine. "You could get hurt. You could get killed. Do you understand me?" He said, his hand moving to rest on my cheek. "Please Just stay where I can see you." He seemed genuinely torn up at that thought. I nodded sadly and grabbed onto his hand. He smirked at the action and started walking again.

A little while later I broke the annoying silence that had set once again. Tarn had been watching everything intently, just thinking about something with furrowed eyebrows. He really was a gorgeous boy.

"I'm sorry." I told him, tugging on his arm so he'd come closer to me.

"For what?" He whispered, turning his face to look at me.

"For not trusting you. For getting so angry when all you were trying to do was protect me. I'm sorry." I blurted.

For God's sake. This boy makes me do weird things.

His face softened and he stepped closer to me. His free hand that wasn't held by mine, reached up to brush some hair out of my face and gently cup my jaw.

"You don't have to be sorry." He whispered. "I get it. I just- You got me so angry at the thought." I looked down at his moving lips and then back to him.

"But that's the thing Tarn. It was a thought. I didn't say it out loud." He nodded and I could sense what he was about to say.

"I know. I'll explain it to you at some point." I was fuming. I'm not going to deny it. But I didn't let him know. Like he said, he'll explain it to me at some point.

I nodded. His face moved closer to mine, drifting in almost to touch it.

"Excuse me." My father interrupted. Tarn stepped back and turned to him. "I am sorry for the interruption. But we have arrived." I could tell he wasn't too happy with Tarns closeness.

I turned to Tarn in confusion.

"Arrived where?" I asked to both of them while watching him watch my Father.

"The home of the King, my darling." My father said with a smirk.

You have got to be kidding me.
