(Switching to the first person unless I say otherwise)

I walk through the forest trying to find someone to help me. I stumble into a clearing and yelp in surprise when I feel something hit my shin. I jump, of course as any rational person would. I look down to see a little boy with a stick. I kneel down to his level. I say in the friendliest tone I can muster, "Hello there, what's your name?" The little boy giggles and hugs me making me fall onto my butt with him in my lap, hugging. (It's very cute might I add.) The little boy squeaks into my shoulder,  "It's Matthew, but all my friends call me Matt," he giggles, "So that's what you get to call me." I chuckle, "So little man, care to tell me where your parents are?" At that he stops giggling at his eyes start watering, "I don't know." I hug him tighter and stand up carrying him. I kiss his forehead, "Oh. Well, let's find them together." I look around, "Which way did you come from?" He points to the north. "Okay, buddy, hanging on?" He nods so I take off running, he laughs and claps as the wind tousles his air. 

I run straight into a hard metal suit, knocking the wind out of me as I turn to protect Matt. He squeals and buries his face in my chest. I lay on the ground and slowly sit up shushing him. He slowly calms down as I stand up. I set him down and brush myself off. I look to see a man wearing iron armor with a helm that covers his whole face and another man with acorn-brown hair with light blue eyes staring at me. I look down my face flushing, "I am so sorry! I was not watching where I was going!" The brown haired one smirks and says, "It's fine 'my love' as long as you are uninjured." I looked up shocked. The only person who has ever talked to me like that ever called me that...NO BAD JESS! You need to forget them! The man with his face covered notices my reluctance to speak to the brown-haired man, "Excuse him." He extends his hand and says, "My name is Garroth, I am the head-guard of Phoenix Drop." She shakes his hand, he motions to the other man, "And this idiot is the second in command, and his name is Laurance," I extend my hand, expecting a handshake when I am greeted with a kiss on my hand. 

Matt pulls on my leg so I look down, "Are we going to find Daddy?" Laurence's face drops when Matt mentions his Dad. I chuckle and bend down to Matt, "I promised didn't I? It's my job to help those in need." I froze as I realized what just came out of my mouth. Matt giggled and hugged me, "Thank you..." he thinks for a little bit, "What's your name?" I open my mouth, "J-Aphmau." I cut myself off giving my middle name, as I remember I'm here to hide and then move on. He hugs me, "Thank you Aphmoo." I laugh and hug him and stand up with him in my arms, I address the guards, "Thank you for introducing yourselves, but I have to go find Matt's parents." I smile and leave to walk around the village looking for his mom and dad. 

I look at the sky and see it's getting dark, I look at Matt in my arms, he's fast asleep. I walk towards the inn and book a room for me and I sleep holding the little boy close to my chest. I smile imagining my lover holding me while I'm holding Matt, and I slip into a peaceful sleep.
