Puck's POV
Lily streamed curses and tripped over more things than I could count, but we were half way to summer and unfortunately the wyldwood has perfect timing, because as we reached the half way point the sun set on the horizon. "We should make camp for the night and rest or we'll be too exhausted to steal anything." I said as I picked some sticks off the ground for firewood. Lily agreed and helped find a tree that we could use as shelter for the night. We lit the fire and settled in for the night, but I couldnt sleep plagued by thoughts of what might happen to Valerie. What made me more restless was that I fell in love with her in a day. That doesnt just happen, it sounds sappy and stupid but maybe were ment to be? The thoughts swirled in my head so fast it made me dizzy. I just gave up finally and fell asleep.
Lily's POV
I lay there attempting sleep for the 2nd hour now and still no luck. Robins soft snores could be heard across the fire that id kept between us. I had too much to think about and not enough answers to let myself sleep. Why does he love her, they dont even know each other. Does he like me at all? Should I have ever came back? What if I just end up leaving again, then there's no point in trying to even work things out. Robins sleep talking interrupted my thoughts. "Valerie! Valerie!" He said quickly as if trying to wake her from a deep sleep. Of course he's saying her name... then he suddenly said "Lily? please dont leave again like you did last time, I miss you." I couldnt tell if he was actually saying that or if he was just sleep talking but it still made my hopeless heart swell. I tried not to think of it as sleep pulled me into its clutches.
Valerie's POV
I kept reliving every bad memory over and over again unable to wake up and escape these nightmares. I was sucked into another as soon as the last ended. Ash sat there in the cornor being all brooding and pretending he didnt see anything as my mother hit me across the face for picking flowers instead of learning my princess lessons. I hated them even at a young age, they bored me and I knew id never get a chance to rule the kindom so what was the point? But nonetheless I still had to attend. I let a tear slip out and then Mab dismissed me. I ran to my room, my only safe haven only to find Rowan waiting to do the sick things he does to me. He was 16 and I was only 12, but age or relationship never mattered to him, any girl he could get his hands on would do. But before I could get to the worst part the nightmare ended and I was launched into another.
This one was during my desperate search for a husband, anyone to take me from this horrid life. But every suitor turned me down saying I wasnt beautiful or smart and no matter what each one found a problem with me to no avail. Eventually I cried all my tears of insecurities and gained my harded attitude. I stopped going to meet suitors and went hunting instead, or read a book, or even just walked around the palace to avoid them. I didnt need anyone but myself to be happy. That was when Ash still cared and woukd patch up my wounds and tell me to hold on to my little strand of hope. I was 22 now and Sage was first for the throne, then Rowan, but Ash had to give up the crown to stay with Meagan. The dream ended and a new one came but I faded out of anyconsciousness before it began.
