"Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." - Maya Angelou


"Run Abby Run!" Blake grabs my arm and starts racing down the mountain.

"HEY GET BACK HERE!" The guards yell as they begin chasing us,

"Abby, hold on to me tight and don't let go!" shouted Blake,

"I won't!" I yelled.

Blake and I keep running until we found a small cave-like area to hide by. "Where did they go!" yelled one guard, "They must've run down the mountain!" yelled the other guard. "Let's go!" screamed the first guard as they both ran further down the mountain.

Blake and I waited 5 minutes before we would move away from here, but then we saw something we didn't expect.

"Abby look!" said Blake surprised,

"Is that a backpack?" I asked,

"I think so? Let's check," Blake replied confused as we both head towards the backpack. As soon as we touched the backpack the way to enter the small cave as rocks fall and block the way out.

"NOOOO!" I yelled, "WHY?" I asked myself. Why does everything get worse and worse by day? Why do I feel this pain? Why me? I yelled, but Blake reminded me, "The guards will hear us!" I tried to push those heavy rocks that blocked the way out, but I felt so weak. I slipped and sat in the corner crying.

"Abby?" Blake called but I didn't respond, "Abby. I know you hate me and I understand that it's gonna take forever to forgive me but-", "Blake stop!" I interrupted, "I have heard a lot from you long enough to know that I might not ever forgive you but at least you should understand that when you see someone cry, it probably means to leave them alone,"

"But Abby, look!" Blake says as he points to a pathway in the cave, "There's more to be seen. Let's go," he said as he walks toward the pathway.

"Blake wait!" I said quickly,

"Yes?" he asked,

"How do I know that I can trust you?" I asked, hesitantly

"Trust yourself, you will start to trust others - Santosh Kalwar" He answered,

"Huh?" I asked,

"Once you do trust yourself you'll hopefully be able to trust me," Blake said

I just stood there surprised from what he just said, but even if his words and Santosh Kalwar's words are inspiring I am still hesitant of trusting him.

"It's okay if you don't trust me yet, let's see how it goes so far and you can decide later truce?"

Still hesitant I answer, "Truce," and we sealed this promise with a handshake.

1 Hour Later

"We've been walking for an hour," I say,

"We're almost there, I know it," Blake responds,

"Blake stop," I call him,

"What's wrong?" He asked

"We have gone far enough. When will you realize that we'll never arrive? Why can't you just give up?" I asked upset,

"That's because I have faith in myself and I trust myself to continue on," he answered,

"You said that five times already! Just give up!" I cried,

"I don't give up that easily and I don't tell people to give unlike..." he stopped,

"Unlike what? Unlike me right? This is so typical of you to say. I shouldn't have tried to trust you!" I yelled,

"Abby, look!" Blake pointed to...

"Is...is that what I think it is?" I asked,

"Yeah, those..."

"Those are SKELETONS!" I yelled,

"Oh my god!" Blake yelled,

"Who are they?" I asked,

"Which one there two of them?"

"Both of them!"

"Calm down, let's see them both," Blake said, "This one says...."

"What-what does it say?" I asked,

"Jason Roberts..." he answered,

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," I said with sympathy,

"I want to be left alone now..." Blake replied,

"I...I understand," I say looking at the other skeleton guessing it's Cassandra Wright.

I wait a while before I hear Blake say, "I'm alone. I'm all alone now,"

"No, you're not," I reply,

"Yes, I am! And I have lost everything. I've lost my family and I've lost all my faith." shouted Blake.

"BLAKE STOP!" I yelled, "You may have lost your family, but you HAVEN'T lost everything! You think you have lost everything because you've lost your faith but I believe in you. I know I may still be mad at you but I can't help that, you know what happened and it'll take a while to forgive you for that. You may have lost faith in yourself but I haven't lost faith in you! It takes time to let go of something and forget, like my past, but what you need to do is give yourself some time and be free. I have faith in you because... I still..." Blake stands up and walks towards me, "I...still..." Blake comes closer and...hugs me?

"Isn't love beautiful?" We hear someone say across the cave. It was a man or more specifically Issac Winters.

"Let's all continue this conversation in a different setting now shall we?" He continued when suddenly the two guards bring their napkins with chloroform and shove it to our face.

"Abby?" I hear Blake call me,

"Yeah?" I ask,

"I..." I hear Blake say but he passes out and so do I...

"Love stories don't last so long do they?" Issac says in his evil voice.
