. : Briar's P.O.V. : .

"It'r r-reall pretty." Lee said softly.

I watched as Lee softly touched the stictchings of Lark's wall hanging. Little Lee finally began warming up to them, And he started to attach himself to me like a second skin and followed me around like a lost puppy.

I never understood why, but I never pushed him away.

Rosethorn even let Lee come to lessons, as long as he kept busy and didn't bother us.

"I'll make you one if you like." Lark smiled when Lee nodded meekly and hide behind me. I felt the stares of Tris and Daja while Sandry giggled behind her hand, unwilling, I felt my cheeks heat up.

"time for lessons." Sandry chirped. The girls went their seprate ways while Lee and I followed Rosethorn out to a little place by disipline. When we settled down, I saw him skip over to a nearby pond. I looked to Rosethorn when she sighed and stood up.

"I forgot I have to meet Crane, meditate just for now and I'll come back later." She sighed and stood up again. "and make sure that Lee doesn't hurt himself again." Rosethorn instructed.

I nodded and assumed position. I took deep breathes in and slowly let them out until I began feeling my energy pool in the middle of my stomach.

. : Lee's P.O.V : .

I watch the ripples dissapear into the water after pump my legs.

I love the water.

No matter what changes around it, It'll always survive. I turn my head and looked to the boy meditating.

Like Briar.

Briar thrived on the streets for most of his life, and he still turns out to be a wonderful guy. He's never yelled at me before or anything!

He was real pretty.

His sun kissed skin shone in the sun light, his long lashes fluttered as his eyes moved under the lids. His dark hair moved lightly in the breeze and his chest rose and fell with deep breathes.

Briar was real pretty.

But I bet he would get angry if he heard me say that. I sighed softly and turned my attention back to my reflection, I kicked my legs again when the water stilled. I watched my warbled reflection as it cleared up.

I jumped when a hand landed on mine and I snatched it away quickly, I whipped to my right and saw a boy I never seen before in my entire life.

"Hi, I am Mark." He had green eyes, blonde hair, and a beautiful face.

'But not like Briar's.' I thought to myself frowning.

I waved meekly hoping he would go away, I peeked back at Briar and saw he hadn't moved from his spot.

"Aw, don't be shy beautiful." A hand was placed on my thigh and I whimpered pushing it away. I saw him frown before he took my wrist in tight grip.

"come on, beautiful, I won't bite unless you want me too." He leaned over and placed a kiss on my neck.

hands roaming

screams coming back in his ears

gruff grunts in his ears

"BRIAR!!"

. : Briar's P.O.V. : .

My eyes snapped open when I heard a scream for my name. I quickly found Lee trying to push away a boy at least twice his size.

"OI!" I ran full steam ahead and tackled the boy off of the weeping Lee.

I felt blind rage boil up inside of me as I let loose on the boy under me, I grunted when kick came to my stomach making me fall backward. I growled when nearby adults pulled us apart.

"what's going on out here?" Niko asked as he held the other back.

"This guy just attacked me while I talked to him!" Mark jabbed a thumb at Lee. I wanted to snap that thing off and shove it in his eye.

"that's not true! tell him what you were really doing you sick bas--" before I could finish my sentence, the adult holding me put his hand over my mouth.

"Lee...what happened?" Niko asked. Lee stared fearfully at Mark who smirked secretly. He hid his face in my chest and he whimpered softly. seeing as I couldn't use my arms to patt his back, I settled for mumuring to him.

"see? I did nothing wrong." Mark sneered. I heard Lee give another whimper and small hand clutched at my shirt. I growled and shrugged off the adults hands and took Lee's hand, I drug him back to my meditation spot and sat him down roughly. I then began to realize he hand his shoulder hunched over as if I was going to hit him...

again.

I sighed and ran fingers threw my hair.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly. I got a nod in response and didn't push it. "well, while you're here...meditate with me. you do know how, right?" I asked. I saw him give another nod before he settled himself down like I was before he closed his eyes.


I was running in a large field with someone's hand in my hand.

I never felt so free, it was too sunny though. I couldn't see who I was holding on to, They're hand was icy though...but I could hear them laughing.

"Briar."

I never heard my name whispered so sweetly.

"Briar?"

Say it again...please.

"Briar?"

My eyes snapped open and they found a figure next to me. It was Lee. He ws crouched over me shaking me gently, I could see he was afraid. I groggily sat up with one eye closed.

"huh?" I anwsered so smartly.

"I-I...I had a bad dream." Lee whispered it so softly that I leaned in a little thinking it was a secret. "so?" I saw him flinch at my bluntess and he toyed with the sheets underneath.

"c-can I sleep in your bed?"

My eyes snapped open and I stared at him. I was waiting for him to say 'oh, just kidding, go back to your dream lover!' but he didn't. Lee stared down at the sheets biting his lip. I sighed and cursed myself for my soft ways and scooted over while I lifted the blanket on his side.

"hop in." I mumbled. I saw him scrambled onto my side and quickly grabbed my arm.

"sweet dreams Briar." He yawned cutley as I pulled the blankets around us. "yeah...you too." I felt him give my arm a nuzzle before his breathes evened out. I didn't go to sleep quickly.

I was staring down at him, How can this boy change me so much in a few days?

Change my feelings.

I hesitently brushed a hair out of his round face and saw his cheeks colored just a bit. so innocent. I laid back and turned my head into his raven locks...

Maybe he could use him as a pillow for a few minutes...

or days.
