Chapter 1: Deep Thoughts
Lief lay on his bed, thinking about the quest to obtain the Pirran Pipe. He thought of Jasmine and how brave she was….How much he loved her….But he knew he couldn't tell her. He knew she didn't feel the same. How did he know this, you may ask? Jasmine had been avoiding him and he didn't know why. His heart ached every time he thought about it. Lief had not slept for months. Jasmine was the only thing on his mind and he could barely handle the stress. He just wanted to be with her, to hold her, to calm her. But he couldn't. For she did not feel the same.
Jasmine was sitting high up in a tree, deep in thought. She thought about her feelings towards Lief and how she could control them. She loved Lief, that was certain, but she knew they could never be together. He knew he didn't love her, and he had been hanging out with a Toran girl named Josie. Every time she was with her, jealousy burned inside of Jasmine. Josie was beautiful, kind and caring, and Jasmine thought she was the opposite of that. She knew she had to get Lief out of her mind, to stop loving him. The only plan she had was to ignore him, and it was paining her like nothing ever had before.
