                                            Your dirty feet picked up the pace as you ran through the dirty streets, panting. In your arms held a fresh loaf of bread and the baker's son was on your tail. You knew this street, you knew this part, and you knew exactly how to lose him.

                                            You took a sharp left then a right and dove into a small crack in a wall.

                                             "Dammit!" The baker's son swore.

                                               Your heart beats quickly as you moved away from the wall. As you turned a corner, you felt someone grab you from behind.

                                                 "Got you, you little punk!"

                                                   He snatched the bread from your hands and shoved it into his bag then slammed you against the wall, pinning you.

                                                    "Now, what to do with yo-" smack!

                                                       His body collapsed and standing behind him was another boy dirty just like you. You've seen him around before, always loathing around by himself.

                                                          He dug through the bag and handed you the loaf again then started to walk away. He turned his head as if he were asking if you were going to follow so you did.

                                                           For the next few years it's been the same, you stole food, clothes, or any other necessities and Lorcan, as you've come to know, took care of whoever had the nerve to chase after you.

                                                            But one day.

                                                            "I caught Maeve's eye."

                                                              You blinked at Lorcan in confusion as you both sat in front of a roaring fire.

                                                              "She offered me the blood oath........and I took it."

                                                                That means.........he's leaving you.

                                                                 "Just because I took it doesn't mean I won't forget about you, okay? I won't be able to come see you because of Maeve, I'll send you coins so you can get yourself a house, food, clothes, and a bed. That's all I can do for you."

                                                                   You tackled Lorcan down.

                                                                    "I'll miss you too."
