Unknown's POV

Seven years is a long time for a heart-broken guy, seven years and many opportunities to reveal yourself to the one you truly love. But if you do that you immediately destroy her chance of a normal life, a normal life without big battles, without the Huntsclan, without…Me. Life is a true battle between choices pick the one that is the most important and you will come out victoriously, at least in your view.

Rose's POV

Lying in my bed I woke up by a gentle breeze, I opened my eyes and felt the bright and warm sunlight gently wrap around my face. I sat up straight in my bed and looked around, 'Crap I'm going to be late' I said out loud as I saw the clock, its 8.05 and class begins at 8.15. I quickly shot up and dressed quickly into my blue jeans and my red t-shirt; I tied my hair up in a knot and brushed my teeth. I stormed downstairs and saw dad stand there leaning against the wall, 'late huh, here's breakfast and you can make it if you hurry' dad said optimistically as he gave me a bag with toast and a wink. 'Thanks dad, love you' I said as I raced past him and out the door.

Running past the streets made me remind the days I ran past this place towards my old school also many times too late, College is on my old route to my old school which is very handy. I stood at the gates of my new school looking at my watch I saw that it is 8.14; 'yeah I'm in time' I thought to myself as I happily shot my fist in the air. Suddenly I got bumped by someone making me fall fore over and he fell on me crushing my chest, I grunted in pain as he stood up he gently moved his warm hands on mine and gave a gentle thug enough to pull me up, he kept looking at the ground embarrassed and pointing his black hair with green tips at me 'Oh sorry are you alright, I didn't saw you….' He stopped talking as he saw my face shock covered his face as his cute brown eyes widened and I think he whispered 'Rose'. 'How do you know my name?' I asked seriously, he shook the shock of his face 'Uh, no I don't know you sorry' he said with a fake smile that actually still made me feel a bit warm. The bell rang 'Uh see you around' I said innocently, he still didn't know what to say a smile covered his face but there was pain in his eyes. He took a deep breath 'I'm sorry but you don't know me and you never will' his voice shaky and filled with sorrow; I saw a little tear fall out the corner of his eye as he quickly turned and skated away. I felt a sharp feeling pierce through my heart but the warmth remained in there, I looked at him as he ran up the stairs and into the door of sch…'Crap! I'm late, no time for boys got to hurry' I said out loud. I quickly made my way to the school, I saw the corridors being empty and I franticly started to look around for door number 049. Oh this is going to be a hell of a long day.

After I found the class I quickly hurried inside finding myself in the middle of an intense lecture and suddenly everyone turned their heads towards me, 'Uh is this Mythological?' I innocently asked 'Well yes, take a seat Ms…' the loud voice of the teacher stopped 'Buckler, I'm Rose Buckle I'm new' I quickly said as I looked around for a seat. 'Ok Ms. Buckler there is a seat next to Mr. Long, Mr. Long stand up please' suddenly I saw a black haired guy reluctantly stand up and slowly raise his hand, 'Ok Prof. Lineman' his warm and low voice said reluctantly. I was embarrassed by the way how he didn't wanted to know me and I needed to sit next to him, I slowly walked towards my seat and reluctantly sat down as Prof. Lineman continued his story about Dragons. I couldn't help but took a small glance at him; I saw his broad shoulders, his muscled arms, and his red leather jacket stroked up, his black jeans, his white sport shoes, and an uninterested look on his cute face. 'Damn why doesn't he want to know me, is it about my hair, maybe my breath' I put my hand in front on my lips, I exhaled and breathed it in, he slowly turned his face towards my direction I saw this defeated look on his face, 'Look I'm sorry how I reacted and I'm sorry that I bumped you, and you smell fine' his voice filling me with warmth again and his face had this satisfied look on it together with a broad grin, he wanted to continue and opened his mouth, but rethought he closed his mouth and continued listening to the 'Interesting story'. The lecture passed by too quickly and before I knew the bell rang, everyone stood up and headed for the exit. He also shoved his stuff in his bag and threw his bag over his shoulder, while I gently put everything in my bag. As I tried to pull the shoulder bag over my head I couldn't pull higher by the weight of it, 'Oh let me help' he said helpfully as he simply grabbed the bag and gently laid it on my shoulder. 'Thanks' I said while his warm hands radiated warmth into my body as he touched my shoulder, 'I owed you one' he said as he chuckled a bit as a small blush came over his cheeks. 'So is it now lunch time?' I asked him while rubbing my stomach, 'Yes it is' he said casually. 'So where are you going then?' I said to him as we walked out the door together, 'Oh somewhere, why?' he said as he raised an eyebrow, 'Can I go with you, I'm new here and I don't know anyone' I said hopefully that he would answer yes. He hesitated and looked deeply in my eyes but this time with those lovely warm eyes, he put his warm hands on my shoulders and a look filled with sorrow covered his cute face again 'I'm sorry I can't hang out with you, I'm really really sorry about it' he said with his voice filled with disappointment. He shook his head turned away and walked on, and I… I just stood there looking at him as he walked down the stairs. I could follow him but I was too busy thinking about what could make him feel so bad while around me, this will be a thoughtful day for me.

Unknown's POV

I couldn't I just couldn't hang around with her without falling endlessly in love again, these three hours I spent with her made my heart leap up while I just put her off two times in a row. Times like this I wished I could be normal, not a guy that is endangered and endangers everyone he loves and cares for. As long as that stupid Dark dragon is around, I don't want to involve someone with my life. But she's different she was the Huntsgirl, yeah she WAS the Huntsgirl. Awww man why is life not easy, it'll never be, it's not meant to be.

Ah man I really hate see the difficult relation between Rose and Jake, but it's for the storyline… it's all for the storyline. Review please.
