Flashback

Running and shouting was the only thing that could be heard and seen. "LINDSEY!" My dad shouted over the screams of people being killed or burned. "Lindsey, I want you to take your sister and run with you brother and other kids to safety and don't stop and look back. Okay?" "Okay dad." I took my sister from him and did what he told me to but when I got to the woods I stopped and looked back only to see me dad be killed. "LINDSEY COME ON WE GOT TO CATCH UP TO THE OTHERS!" my brother yelled and pulled me away from the village and into the woods...

End of flashback

 When I came out of my trance I saw everyone staring at me. "What?" I asked I was surprised when Stephen's thumb swept across my cheek very slowly. "You were crying sissy. Why?" Rosie asked "I was crying because I was thinking about dad." I said. "Lindsey you know we will never get him back. He is gone." Samuel said upset. "You think I don't know that Samuel!" I yelled at him. "I'm sorry ok but you shouldn't be crying ok he's dead!" He yelled back. "I know that ok I saw him die with my own eyes!" I yelled back.

By now I could tell that I was balling my eyes out, because I was being held by Stephen and when i pulled back i could see a tear spots on his shirt. Later that night I couldn't sleep so I got up to go take a walk. "Cant sleep?" I turned around only to find Stephen right behind me. "Yeah. How about you? What are you doing?" I asked back, "oh you know nightmares always come back to haunt you." He answered. "Want to tell me what it was about?" I asked him.

"It was about my older sister getting taken from me and my family." He said. "What was her name? If you don't mind me asking?" I said "Cassandra..." he said with sadness in his voice. "She must have been wonderful?... how old was she when she got taken from you guys?" I asked " she was 15... she was the best big sister that I could ever ask for..." he answered back.

"Well we better be getting back don't want to make them freak out about us." I said "Wait." Stephen said "What." I asked. Stephen grabbed my hand and pulled me back into him "umph" the impact was hard, when I looked up I saw him looking down at me. "What's wrong?" I asked instead of an answer he kissed me, the kiss was sweet and passionate.

 When we pulled away we were breathing slightly heavily. "That was so much better than in my dreams and thoughts." He said. When we got back to the camp site I saw Lucy and Rosie running around like headless chickens. Rosie came over to me and stephen she looked at our joint hands and asked "are you to dating?" " yeah are you too?" Samuel asked with a serious face that looked murderous.
