Tord's POV

"What happened?" I ask, she cocks her head.
"Huh?" She whispers, her voice was just as quiet and soft as I remember.
I slip her shirt up, only a bit, enough to see a touch of the wound.
"Oh.. Kenny accidentally stabbed me.." he says, nervously laughing.
"What?!" I snap, she flinches and I sigh.
"On accident" she says urgently, I lean down to kiss her but she turns her head.
"M-Me and Kenny kinda have a-a thing.." she whispers. I feel my heart sink, my chest collapse and my knees go weak.
I take a slight shuffle back, and she stares at me. Right in the eyes.
Her eyes were almost blank, she had the face of someone so innocent but at the same time someone who could commit murder happily.
"Every time I wanna love you, your taken" I finally say, trying my best to smile. I carefully tickle her sides and she laughs, pushing me away. Her laugh made me feel better.
"I still love you" I say, adjusting her hat.
"I love you too.." she whispers, I smile a bit and kiss her hand, tucking her hair behind her hat.
"You should rest, I have to go help Conner soon anyway" I say. She nods and pulls me down into a soft kiss. I enjoy it. But as soon as it started it was over, and I walked out of the camper with a stupid smile on my face.

~Few Minutes Later~

"Hey Conner" I say, grabbing a shovel.
"Oh, heya Tord" Conner says, looking up at me.
I get to work with him, our job was to move the snow away from the campers.
"So I heard your moving up a camper" Conner says, grinning at me. I laugh,
"Yep, it's been long enough".
He nods, and changes the conversation,
"So did you see the newbie?" Conner beams. I nod and open my mouth to say something, but he did before I could.
"She's kinna cute" Conner says in a sing song voice, I don't respond.
Their was a short silence.
"You don't agree?" Conner asks, I hesitate,
"She's an old friend of mine" I say.
"That doesn't answer my question" Conner laughs, I hesitate.
"She's pretty cute" I say, shrugging.
"Dude she's hot" Conner says, I glare at his words, shoving the snow with more aggression.
We continue in silence.

~ Few Hours Later ~

I put the shovel away and head toward the third camper without saying goodbye to Conner, I probably shouldn't be as upset with him as I am because he's just a kid and he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Conner was 11, short but strong. His hair was nearly black and his eyes were the same color, he had Snow White skin.
I open the door and immediately look at where Jay is, she's cuddled up in blankets asleep.
A boy- teenager? Hung over her, playing with her hair. I take a deep breath,
"You must be Kenny" I say, walking over.
He turns around and smiles a bit,
"Uh.. yeah- and you are?" He asks.
"..." she hasn't talked about me?
"I'm Tord" I say slowly, shaking his hand.
"Awe cool, aren't you one of Jay's old friends or something?" He asks, I stop myself from rolling my eyes and nod.
"Yeah, sort of like that" I say.
"Well it's nice to meet you" Kenny says, turning back toward Jay.
"Very" I whisper.
