Chapter 8
"I spy with my eye something...Green!"
"Hm... the tree's?" Quinn asked, she placed one finger on her chin while looking around for more green.
"Nope, try again"
"Um...the grass?" Dragon shook his head, Quinn puffed her cheeks and focuses.
"Oh! My bow!" Quinn smiled and pointed behind her, but frowned as Dragon shook his head again.
"Ok! The bushes, the bugs! Oh oh wait! The birdy!" Quinn quickly suggested, thinking that she won, she folds her arms and giggles.
"Nope" staring blankly at him, her arms slowly raises up.
"I'm done! That's it!" Quinn turns around and walks the other way, while yelling curse words.
"Its your eye's!" Dragon yells and watches in amusement while chuckling.
Kala sees Quinn walks past him, and gives her a questioning look. He continues to watch her as she sits on a boulder, her cheeks puffed and trying, key word *trying* to glare at everything that moves.
"Stubborn as a mule" Kala said quietly to himself, knowing Dragon could hear him.
"Yeah, but I'm loving it" Dragon smiled and pated Kala shoulder "go on ahead, we'll catch up"
Kala rolled his eyes and walked down the path. Waiting until he's no longer in site, Dragon turns around and walks towards Quinn, who now had a small smile as she held a small golden heart.
"Where did you get that?" Startling Quinn, she squeaks and blushes in embarrassment.
"S-sorry, was deep in thought" she giggles and lookes back at the gold heart. "It's... whats left of my family"
"Your family huh? What were they like?" Dragon asked, sitting right on the rock next to her. Her eyes widen and squeezes her hand tightly. Surprise and concerned, Dragon place his hand on hers and gently rubs his thump over her hand.
"You don't have to tell me" Dragon smiles as her grip loosens.
"I-i... it's just..." blinking away the tears, she smiles sadly and tightly squeezes his hand. "Its a story, that will be told when the time comes"

"Kala! Hey, guess what!" Quinn giggles and jumps in front on him.
"What?" Never taking his eyes away from the map.
"Look! A town!" Quinn smiles happily and points. Kala looks up from the map and sees a small village to far from the path.
"Wait, I don't see it on the map?" Kala questioned, Quinn rolls her eyes and grabbed his arm, pulling him towards the village.
"Let's go! I want to see it!" She smiled as Kala glared and gave up, letting her drag him.
"Where's Dragon?"
"Oh! He's already there! I just came to find you, I don't want you to miss all the fun!" Quinn started to pull on his arm more, signaling to walk faster. Kala stared at her as her eyes filled with joy.
"I can see right through you, smiling through the pain will only make it worse" he whispers to himself while frowning, but he did not notice that they were already at the gates. Looking up from the light blue colored gate, he finds the town's name in sliver.
"Sliver Stone? Such a dumb name"
"Its not a dump name! Don't be mean" Quinn lightly punches Kalas arm and walks into the village, Kala sighed and followed her.
As he walked around, he noticed the villagers all stared, like they have never seen any outsiders. He looked back at quinn, to find her smiling like a little kid, jumping from stand to stand. 'Well at least someone's having fun'
Then he saw Dragon slowly creeping behind her, smirking as she focused on the dresses. Kala quickly had an idea.
"Quinn! Look out, there's a bug behind you!" He called out.
Quinn took his warning and quickly turned around, swatting her hand to scare away the bug, but to her surprise, she hits something. She quickly opens her eyes.
"O-oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!" Quinn's eyes widen and covers her mouth with her holding on her breathe. 'H-he's going to kill me' she slowly backed away while apologizing.
