Roxanne's P.O.V

I woke up by the sound of birds, singing. I had a dream about our parents. It felt real though. I really miss them. I hope I will see them again soon.

My thoughts were brushed off when I felt strong, warm hands around me. I opened my eyes and looked behind me. Aaron was lying behind me, with closed eyes and arms all around me. He looked so peaceful, I didn't want to wake him up. He was warm so I took advantage of it and I turned position.

My face was now buried to his chest. His hands hold me tighter. I nuzzled on his chest. I looked up at him. His black eyes were locked on my blue ones. A small smile appeared on his face and I blushed. I looked away but I could see out of the corner of my eye that he was still looking at me. He put his hand under my chin and I was forced to look at him. My eyes met his again.

Our lips were inches away, not that far. He closed his eyes and leaned forward. His warm breath was brushing my lips.

Are we really going to kiss now? It did not happen. I heard a voice and turned around. It was my fucking brother.

"Get a room you love birds." I grinned.

"Axel, you idiot. Ugh I hate you." I pulled away from Aaron and stood up.

"I love you too." He said and I smacked his elbow with mine playfully.

"Haha, you two look so cute together." Sophie said helping Aaron stand up. I blush and he does the same. The others started laughing and we followed right after.

We stopped when we heard a voice behind one of the bushes in front of us. "What the?" Axel said slowly approaching the bush.

"Shit Axel, be careful." Aaron said standing next to him. Me and Sophie were behind them.

Axel's P.O.V

The bush stopped, I noticed a head with brown hair. "Reveal yourself!" I said staring down at the bush.

"Okay, you caught me." A soft voice said. Behind the bush was a girl. Maybe one or two years younger? She had short, messy, brown hair. The locks of her hair reached her shoulders. Brown eyes with a scar on her left eye. She had a white crop top and some black jeans. Her arms were covert with scars. Some old and some fresh ones.

I kinda felt bad for her. God knows what she has been through. Her facial features were soft. But these eyes. These eyes were filled with pain and anger. She looked confused and mad. I took a closer look.

Then I realized her bloody nose. It was bleeding hard. She seemed like she was attacked? But by who?

"Who are you?" I said after a long silence.

"Lauren." She looked up and our eyes met.

"What...what are you doing here? Are you...stalking us?" Her eyes got wide open.

"Do you see these scars?" She said pointing at them.

"Yes?" Aaron said and I nodded. "Who did this to you?" She laughed and we looked at each other with a confused face.

"The werewolves did this to me." She whispered. My eyes got wide open.

I couldn't believe it. Who would do this to an innocent creature? Wait- werewolves?

"You are all one of them. Stay away!" We froze and we didn't dare to move. "Don't you dare approach me!" She screamed, walking backwards. I took a step forward.

"We are not going to hurt you. We are the good werewolves. Don't worry." I said walking forward. She kept walking backwards until her back hit a tall tree.

"Don't...don't kill me. Please." She whispered.

"We won't. I promise." She then bursted into tears. Leaning backwards into the tree and slowly sliding down to the ground.

I looked behind me to see the others. Their eyes wide open and their mouths closed. Looking at me with a curious look. Aaron was looking at me with a look 'what are you waiting for?' I turned back to the crying girl. She looked up at me with puffy eyes.

I took another step forward and sat on the ground in front of her. I hold her hand and whispered for comfort. She started to calm down and I smiled at her. She smiled back.

"You are Axel, right?" She said and I nodded. "What about Roxanne?" She said and I pointed to the blonde girl. Roxanne. Roxanne took a step forward.

"How do you know..." Lauren smirked.

"We are in the same school," I looked at Roxanne. Sophie and Aaron were confused. "at least we were."

"What?" I asked. My eyes locked with hers.

"We are trap here. We will never go back."

"No! No we are not! You don't understand. We are the chosen ones. We will find the Dark Crystal and-" I was cut off by Lauren.

"The Dark...what?" She murmured.

"The Dark Crystal," Sophie joined the conversation. "we need to find it before The Dark Queen finds it first. And when we will find it, we will go back...to the real world." She explained with a smile on her face. The girl looked confused.

"How did you get here in the first place?" Aaron said.

"I...I don't know." She murmured once again.

"Apparently you are not a full human being. You must be something else and probably this is why you are here?"

"I...don't know." She looked down at her hands.

"Hey, it's okay." I said putting a hand on her shoulders gently. She looked at me and smiled. After a few minutes, she hugged me. I looked at the others. Aaron was smiling, Roxanne was smirking and Sophie was clapping.

"You two, we need to search for the Dark Crystal." She said.

"We can't. Not now. We have been here for hours. Dark is slowly approaching. We better go to sleep and search again tomorrow." Roxanne said.

"Oh, you are right." Sophie said lying down on her sleeping bag. The others followed right after. I stood up and helped Lauren.

"Wanna sleep in my sleeping bag? It's okay, I will sleep on the ground. I don't mind." I said. She smiled.

"Thank you." She whispered. She lied down and fell quickly asleep. I was lying next to her. She snored lightly. She was so cute and looked so peaceful.

Was I falling for her? I only met her hours ago but I feel so attached to her. What is this feeling?

Am I really falling in love?

And with that, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
