Chapter VIII

John

After not getting any answers from Anna, Will suggested that he talk to her alone when she wakes up. So I spent an hour eating some stew and having ale when I figured I have given them enough time and I was sleepy. If Will didn't get anything out of her maybe a little heat will get her to talk. Pretty girls are always trouble.

When I got to the door I put my ear to it to listen if the two of them were still talking and when I didn't hear anything I went inside. What I saw was like a punch to the stomach and before I could even think of my reaction I was yelling at them.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THE TWO OF YOU DOING!".

Anna

To say I was surprised was an understatement. I have no idea what happened. One minute I was crying and the next Will was kissing me. I mean I'm sure Will kissed me, but I wasn't expecting him to. He's like a big brother to me, I don't like him that way and all that did was make it awkward for me because I would have to tell him that I like him like a brother.

What further complicate things is that John saw him kissing me and he clearly isn't too happy about it.

"I was just upset and Will was trying to calm me down" was the only thing I could think of to say. I will speak to Will when we're alone. We definitely don't need mister-I-distrust-everything-about-Anna to be a part of that conversation. 

"Will can we talk later, I'm feeling a little tired". 

"Sure, sure Anna whatever you want".

"Oh so its whatever Anna wants, why am I not surprise. I leave you alone for a couple of hours and already you team up. Not that I'm surprised, your sure are a fast worker Anna. I guess I should have expected that. It does clear up a couple of things I guess that's why your in such high demand".

John was right in my face sneering at me and he's implication was clear. He thought that I seduced Will and even maybe the soldiers and that is why they after me. Before I knew what I was doing I slapped John across the face as hard as I could leaving a red hand-print on his cheek. As I was about to slap it again he caught my wrist and I could feel his warm fingers.

Will on the other hand was about to punch John when he snapped his fingers and a little flame appeared. 

I was so astounded by that, that I forgot what set about the occurrence. I was gasping at the flame as John was still keeping my wrist.

"How are you doing that?". I couldn't keep the wonder out of my  voice. It was truly amazing.

That seemed to calm everyone down and John released my wrist. "Its nothing, forget you saw anything and you owe us or me at least some answers".

"I guess we have to talk about it, but then you have to tell me how you do that thing with the fire. Deal?".
