Like the art? I drew that. Today. For this chapter. YEET! Btw, I'm writing this on my new laptop. And that's not necessarily what you look like, your hair and maybe skin tone is different, unless u just white, then your skin looks like that. But that's kinda just a default thing for me, the whole pale skin and brown hair.

Your P.O.V


 You woke up in your bed in your cabin. Except it wasn't your cabin, but it felt like home. You were covered by an old home made patch blanket. Last  thing you remember you were with... With... Who were you with again? You didn't know.


You hear your mom call for you to get washed up and come eat. After yelling a reply you go to your vanity and look into the large mirror. Your long (H/C) hair was a tangled mess so you try brushing it out. You wash your face with the pan of water and a wrag that was on your vanity and after doing so you smile into the mirror, your sparkling (E/C) eyes glimmering with joy from a new day. Getting into a beautiful dress and putting a ribbon into your hair you go out to greet your family. 


Upon reaching the dining  table you greet your mother and three siblings. "Good morning." "Good afternoon sleepy head, sit down and eat your eggs. Today's a special day." You do as told and sit down making small talk among each other.


Jack's P.O.V (This will be a reoccurring thing.)


Her cabin wasn't far from where we were and I was able to get her bandaged up and into her bed before fixing my two broken ribs.  She will make it I know she will. I slide my mask off before hesitantly and carefully removing hers as well.  Shes so beautiful, god I wish I could tell her. I lean my forehead on hers  and i can feel her soft, warm breath as she exhales. She'll be okay. She'll be just fine. 


Your P.O.V


After eating you went out picking flowers in the fields. You feel a soft warm breeze blow past your face and you swore you heard something. "I love you (Y/N), please wake up soon." You straighten up as your eyes widen. Looking around you couldn't see anyone but you swore yu just heard someone say your name.


"(Y/N)!" You hear your mother shout. Running back home with the bouquet of flowers, handing them over to your mother, she smiles and hugs you then drags you inside telling you you need to get ready. "Todays your big day. We need to get you ready." You didn't know what was going to happen but you were excited, you had been preparing for this your whole life.


Your mother did up your hair and dressed you in a beautiful gown. Everyone outside was setting up a big party. Your mother has told you many times that as the night ends you will get a present that will please the gods and grace the land with joy and prosperity for another two years. You had ever been old enough to attend these parties but now you were the center of attention. 


Jacks P.O.V


Its been two weeks and every day I have been taking care of (Y/N)'s every need. She's getting better but I'm still worried.  My ribs have already healed but I haven't eaten, slept or even left the house since she passed out.  I don't want to leave for even one second. I want to be here when she wakes up.


Your P.O.V


The night coming to a close, your mother had given you a red wooden mask and instructed you not to put it on.  She had left and you were awaiting her return when suddenly two men came up in blue masks and asked you to go with them. Everyone had started putting their masks on, red for women and blue for men. You were confused but figured it was just part of the party. On your right, being escorted by two masked women was a boy around your age with a blue mask in hand. It was Jack


You were both brought to a field and instructed to sit back to back before being tied together. The men who'd escorted you came up to you with knives and nodded to whom you guessed was the two women behind you. They knelt in front of you and suddenly jack started jerking around and screaming. Before you could question if e was okay the men grabbed your face and started to gouge your eyes out. You understood now, this is what they were doing to Jack as well. once they were done taking your eyes, they poured a hot thick liquid into your eyes and placed your mask over your face. They let go and your head fell limp, the hot liquid, blood and tears streaming out your sockets. On the verge of passing out  you felt jack grab and squeeze your hand.


The noise of people faded as they left leaving you and Jack to die. When it was totally silent you hear Jack faintly whisper "I'll be with you until the end, i promise. You'll be okay, just relax." He gave your hand a reassuring squeeze as you passed out. The last thing you heard before dying was "I'll get you revenge for what they did to us. To you..."

You opened your eyes to the sunrise coming through the window of your small cabins bedroom. Someone was holding your hand and as you looked over you saw Jack asleep. Both his and your mask were on the bedside table. You moved your hand to pet his soft fluffy brown hair causing him to wake up. Immediately upon seeing your open empty sockets he jumped up and cupped your face in his hands. You giggled at this. "You're awake. You're awake!" He was crying, his warm tar like tears falling on your face as he laid his head on yours. You place your hand on his cheek. "You're awake... I, I thought I lost you. I, don't know what i would have done if i lost you. (Y/N)... (Y/N) I love you too much . Please, please never do that again. Please." 


You had no idea what to say. You smiled. "Jack... I love you too. I promise I won't ever do that again. It's over  now, you won't ever lose me." Jack smiled and kissed you. You stayed in that position eyes closed and foreheads touching for what you had hoped would be forever, enjoying what you could have lost...


Then Jacks stomach growled. His eyes few open as yours squinted while you laughed. He went to get some food and promised to bring you some back as well.
