*************************

Skylar's POV

"Here, take mine," I pushed my piece of stale bread towards Alex, trying my best not to rattle the chains. The guards seemed more alert these few days. Many were killed when the made the slightest sounds.

"You're not hungry?" Alex asked, confused.

"Nope, you have it," I lied. I was starving.

Alex bit the hard bread, eating half of it.

"Here, you can eat this," Alex passed me the bread.

The pangs of hunger made me accept the food.

"So Alex, where's your Daddy?" I asked.

"In here," Alex said. "Dead, dying,"

"Why?"

"He tried to save Ma and me," Alex replied.

"No, why dead or dying?"

"We're all going to starve or get beaten to death, Sky," Alex whispered.

"No, I'm going to escape. I'm going to save us," I told him, determination burning within me.

"No!" Alex almost shouted. "I don't want you to escape! You'll die,"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to escape now," I reassured him. Later, perhaps a few days later, but not now. I overhaerd one of the guards talking about preparing for a war and a plan started to form in my head.

"Skylar?"

"Yes?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nope, but I have a boyfriend," I said softly. Will's face seemed to blur nowadays, even the memory of our dates seemed to fade. I regret not telling him that I love him. I love him, I really do. 

"Boyfriend? I thought boys are supposed to have girlfriends?"

"Not for me. I'm gay, it means that I can like boys,"

"Can I like boys too?"

"Of course you can," I smiled softly.

"Is your boyfriend pretty?"

"Oh yes, Will is extremely pretty," I chuckled.

"Do you love him?"

"I love him, more than anything," I didn't hesitate to say.

"More than cream and cheese?"

"More than cream and cheese." I confirmed.

"Tell me more about him!" Alex begged.

*Flashback*

"Where we going this time?" I ask.

"A very big field,"

"We'll be flying kites?" My eyebrows raised.

"Nope,"

"Rolling cheese?"

"No,"

"Throwing rocks?"

"No,"

"Picking grass?"

Will pretended to sigh. "We're going on a hot air balloon,"

"You lie,"

"No,"

"I've been wanting to go up on those balloons for ages! Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou!" I ranted.

Will chuckled softly. His beautiful blue eyes twinkling with happiness.

*End Of Flashback*

"It sounds brilliant," Alex breathed.

"Oh yes it is! Do you want to know the best part of being gay?"

"What is it?" Alex asked, excitement sparkling in his eyes.

"You'll never get girl cooties!"

Alex laughed out loud. The sound of mirth was cut short.

An angry red slash appeared on his arm.

We looked up to see a very, very angry hunter.
