Let's do this!

Snowy's POV

I fell asleep with Eric using me as a pillow. Surprisingly, it was quite comfortable.

I woke up to find that he was gone. Like it always does when I can't find him, panic surged through me.

I jumped from my resting place and walked over to find him feeding Ace and Destiny.

I sighed in relief and walked towards them. Then I got an idea.

I went and hid behind the many tree's covering his surrondings

I made sure not to step on any of the branches as they would make noise and give away my position.

"Ace, quit hogging all the food. Leave some for the lady. A little respect wouldn't hurt you, now would it?" He said with a chuckle and moved the food over to Destiny.

Ace snorted in response.

"Don't give me that. I know. I lied to her, but what am I supposed to do?"

Both Destiny and my ears perked up.

"I shoud've just told her the truth." He looked up into the sky and let out a deep sigh.

I stayed in my spot hoping to hear more.

"I know I love her. It's just that..She's too good for me."

I felt my heart tighten in my chest.

Ace, again, snorted. Probably telling him he was wrong. Which he was.

"What? You really think that any of her court, or even the people of Tabor, would go for it?" He nearly shouted.

Ace just stood there.

"And just who do you suppose would go for it?" He asked it as if Ace could verbally give him and answer.

"I would." I said stepping out from behind the trees.

Eric didn't jump one inch. Even when sneaked up on he didn't get scared.

"..How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to hear everything that you said."

He was silent. Looking at the ground, ashamed of what he had said.

"Eric, look at me."

He looked up but didn't meet my eyes.

"It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. And if it did, I still wouldn't care. For the first time in a long time, I'm happy. Im genuienly happy. Call me selfish if you will, but I'm not going to let anyone take that away from me. Not even you."

I was never aware of it before but I was extremely stubborn when it came to the things that I wanted. And Eric, was definatly one of them. I was a little scared of what he would say to get me out of feeling the way I do.

I could just hear him say it with his thick accent

'Princess, it is not right for a queen to be with a huntsman. I'll tak you to the Duke's castle and you and William will be married in the next few days. And I'll leave you to live happily ever after with him'

To my surprise, a smile was trying to creep up on his lips.

"I've already told you, I'm not going to be marrying William. The only thing I'm going to be doing now, is be there when he needs me the most. That's the least I could do after what's been done."

I should have felt a pang of guilt after my affair with Eric, but I don't. Maybe that makes me a horrible human being but. It just felt so natural. Being with William it felt so..uptight. With Eric, I could just be myself.

"Well then, Princess, we should be on our way. We don't want to burn anymore daylight. It's already going on 10."

"How can you tell?"

"By the sunlight." Now we were walking back to the camp and were putting everything away in our packs.

"I wish someone would invent a portable clock. That way you would always know what time it was."

"I highly doubly that would catch on." He said as he strapped in his pack to the back of Ace and mine to the back of Destiny.

"You never know." I said as I placed my foot in one of her sterrups and swung my other leg over.

"Well, I suppose we should get going." he said as he mounted on Ace.

"I'll race you." I said with a challenging smirk.

"You'll only lose. Again." He returned the smirk with a sly smile.

"Bet me."

"Alright. Whoever makes it to that creek," he pointed to a tiny patch of water just 25 yards away. "has to kiss the other person."

"Deal." I said sticking my hand out.

He spits in his and shakes mine.

"That's disgusting!" I shriek. But just before I pull my hand away he pulls it up to his lips and he kisses it.

It puts a dazzle in my eyes and it gives him the opportunity to take off ahead of me.

I smile and take off.

Oh no Eric. I think to myself. I know your tricks this time.

William's POV

I decided to get fully dressed today. I have a feeling that Snow is coming here soon.

I have so much to say. So much to apologize for.

She'll probably hate me for the rest of my life. It doesn't matter. I've excepted it. Hopefully she will to.

Oh you guy's, ya'll now I can't leave you without a cliffhanger. (:

At any rate. I hope ya'll enjoyed this!

What is William up to? Ugh it is killing me ;)

Do you think the Huntsman is done with all of his "She's-too-good-for-me" crap?

Let me know in a review below!

I love you!
