Avalon pov

"Well hello Avalon"

"What are you doing here, in the middle of the woods?" I asked.

"I could ask you the same thing." Jaycob replied.

"I asked you first though."

He chuckled. I already knew what he was here for, he didn't find me at the tree so he must have followed my scent down the trees and to here. But he obviously can't say that to a human. Hehehe.

"Well, if you must know, I wanted to go for a walk." he said, "Now I think you need to answer my question."

"Well you already know that the forest is calming for me, so I came here to calm down?" I said, making it sound a little like a question.

"Now, I must go..." I said.

"Where are you going?"

"For a walk."

"Can I walk with you?"

Please can he come with us. We might be able to see if he is trustworthy enough with our secret. Dea pleaded. Only for you. I sighed. Dea did a little victory dance in my mind.

I started walking off.

"Well come on then." I said motioning with my hand for him to follow.

He hurried after me like a lost puppy. We walked in silence for a while, but then he broke the silence.

"What's your favourite colour?"

"Silver why?"

"That's not a colour." he said in a sing song voice.

"Well it is still my favourite, but you still haven't answered my question."

"I don't know. I guess I just want to know more about you."

"Let's play 20 questions then." I say even though I know that this is very cliché but I do want to know more about him and this is the best way.

"Sure." he goes to say something but I inturupt him.

"Excuse me, but you have already had your first question."

He grits his teeth and says "Fine."

I smile and ask him. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

"Wow you really are straight in there with the big questions. Well I want to be married, maybe have a few kids." he says this whilst looking at me, I don't know why but my heart drops at the thought of him being with someone else.

"Oh. Whose the lucky lady - or man, you never know."

"It is most definatelly a lady, she might be closer than you think." he takes his hand in mine when he says this.

I can't look away from his captivating hazel eyes. It is like I'm in a trance.

"Anyway, my turn." he snaps me out of my trance. "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" he fires the question back at me.

"I don't know, I haven't really given any thought to it."

I stare off jn to space. What if I have to give him up? What if he can't come to Epidoro? What if I have to give up my life as a guardian to be with him? I know it mighf sound selfish but, if I have to choose between him and my life as a guardian, I would choose to stay as a guardian. I can't just give up the life I have known for over 2000 years. I just can't.

A hand waved in front of my fave, snappinc me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry, you zoned out." Jaycob explained.
