After finishing my food I set the tray on the night stand and plop back on my bed. There's not much to do in my room. No art to stare at. No books to read. Nothing.

All I have is Jeremy's watch. I lifted it and begin examining it. Tracing my finger through every nook and cranny. It was a simple watch. Mostly silver on the outside. On the inside the two hands are a different one is black and the other white. Two dots rest on the inside indicating the twelve and the six.

I stare at the hand and listen to it's constant ticking. Memorizing each piece. Realizing Jeremy is my only friend here, if I can even call him that.

A loud knock shakes my trance. I quickly sit up in my bed and shove the watch under my pillow.

"Come in" I call, sitting on the edge of the bed.

The door opens slowly and Luke's slids through, closing the door softly. He smiles as he does this but it doesn't reach his eyes like it usually does.

"Are you ok?" I stand. Why do you even care? A voice in my head calls.

"Yea I'm fine. I'm just exhausted" he says taking a seat at the edge of my bed.

"Oh I'm sorry" I say, looking down at him as he rubs his eyes aggressively.

"It's alright. It will all be worth it in the end" he says yawning and stretching.

"What happens at the end?" I ask and take a seat next to him.

"Kronos rises" he states plainly.

It is silent in the room for a moment, then I let out an uncomfortable laugh. This soon turns into a real laugh as I reply the statement over and over again.

"That's a good one" I say after my fit of hysteria is over.

"What do you mean? I'm not joking" Luke says as he rest on his elbows.

"Okayyy. So your actually going to try and raise Kronos?" I ask.

"Yes" he nods, his tired eyes are serious as they stare into me. I say nothing.

"So what did you wanna talk about?" He smiles, once again not reaching his eyes.

"Oh. Um I want to get out of my room. I just want to walk around the ship and get some fresh air. Id be willing to have someone accompany me if you don't trust me still. Maybe after I gain your trust I cant practice on deck. It would be cool if I could spar with some of the guys but only if you-" I ramble but I'm cut off.

"Stop. I trust you but for safety reasons I would like someone to join you. You can walk outside, spar, or explore. I don't really care as long as your on the ship it's fine" he says as he gets to his feet.

"Thanks Luke!" I yelp with excitement as I get to my feet and hug his torso.

Luke is stiff at first and is unsure what to do. He soon relaxes and wraps his arms around me causing a wave of excitement to flow through me. Guilt soon takes it's place so I slide out of his grip.

"I mean. Thank you" I say, folding my hands in front of me and giving him a quick nod. He looks surprised but he just nods and mutters a quick 'your welcome' before heading to the door.

"Luke" I say before he can get through the door. He stops and turns to me.

"I would like Jeremy to accompany me. I trust him" I say confidently.

"I understand. I'll ask if he's up for it"

"Also, I think it would be nice for us to have dinner again. I mean together. If you want. I still have a few questions for you"

"I would like that" he nods and I do the same. As he leaves I see a smile on his face, it's still a weak smile but at least it reached his eyes.
