Shit. What the hell am I supposed to tell him?

I can't tell him my real name. What am I supposed to do now?

"What's your name?" I said sarcastically.

"I asked first" He said.

"Well you tell me first" I replied.

"No you"

"No you"

"No you!"

I stayed silent, annoyed. I just sat here while I felt the heat of the fire against my face.

"Belen. My name is Belen." He said as if he was defeated.

"Silver" I didn't say anything else, and just sat in silence. I have to get away from here soon before my eyes change back.

~Belen~

"So, Silvers your name huh?"

She nodded her head in response.

I glanced over at her and noticed her eyes slowly closing, struggling to stay open. She yawns while raising her hand to cover her mouth.

"Why don't you get some sleep?"

~Silver~

I slowly nod my head as sleepiness takes over.

I know I shouldn't let my guard down with a stranger, but I have no choice. I can't see anything currently and I'm extremely tired from lack of sleep the past few days. I my as well take this chance to get some sleep and regain some of my energy.

"I'll take you over to where you were sleeping before."

I nod my head and reach out my hand out until he grabs onto it. I stand up and walk until I feel a tree in front of me. It's the same tree as before. I slowly sit down, and listen as he walks away. Once he walks away, I close my eyes and lie down and slowly drift off into slumber.

~Belen~

About twenty minutes have passed when she finally falls asleep. I quietly walk over and place my blanket on top of her to keep her warm.

I throw some extra sticks into the fire before I find a comfortable spot on the opposite side of the fire from her and decide to get some sleep.

~Silver~

I wake up to the sound of someone snoring. Must be that Belen guy. How obnoxious. I slowly open my eyes as I get blinded by the sun.

I swiftly get up and see the fire has burned out, but the ashes are still hot. I look past the burned out fire, and see a man lying across the ground. That must be the man called Belen. He has short brown hair, and is wearing worn out clothes.

I decided to leave while I can. He is sleeping so it's the perfect opportunity to slip away un-noticed. As I quietly walk away, I look down and see all the cut's and bruises across my skin. Damn they hurt.

When I get far enough away, so he won't be able to hear me, I call for Brudo. Not long after I feel something brush against my skin...
