"Well… where shall I start?" Huw began.

"S-see that volcano over there?" he said, a little more calm.

I looked to the direction he was pointing to. Sure enough, in the distance, there was a tiny volcano, spewing out bright red liquid. Somehow, though I wasn't worried at all. Well, except that when I fall asleep, Huw will disappear. Thinking of Huw made my whole body shudder and my throat giggle. I looked into his sincere eyes. Why did he save me? I saw him also staring into my eyes and suddenly I felt the urge to kiss him. He began to lean towards me and kissed me there and then. I'm not going to go into details and say things like 'there were fireworks exploding all around us', because it's not true.

As soon as I woke up, I turned to see Huw lying beside me, as loyal as ever. Whenever I look at his face, it makes the corners of my mouth automatically turn. Then I remembered the kiss. The look he gave me afterwards. That's when I knew that he felt exactly the same as I felt towards him. I stroked his chocolate brown hair and smoothed it down. Then I remembered that I was still in my stupid dream. I mean, I didn't actually think that Huw would actually like me in real life, did I? Maybe I did, but I was obviously just kidding myself.

"Anna?" I heard a voice whisper from the bushes opposite.

"W-who's there? I asked, shakily.

Suddenly, a boy emerged from the dark green bush.

"Aaaaahhhh- James…?"

I knew James Maharg from school and I kinda liked him a little, but not as much as Huw.

Huw had woken up by now and as soon as he saw James, he thrust his body forward to shield me.

'Touch her, and you're dead" he snarled.

"Wh- what, is she your girlfriend or something" James scoffed, but with a tad of uncertainty in his voice.

Without hesitating to think, he spat back "yes. Yes. Yes. YES. YES! ANNA IS MY GIRLFRIEND AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER" he smiled.

James looked stung and tried to talk to me, but Huw wouldn't let him. Before I could take it all in, I saw the silver shine of a sword glint from James' hand. I blinked, everything was in slow motion. Huw was unarmed. Then I saw the sword disappear and then reappear again. It was soaked in blood.
