I just stood there. Thinking about what he just said. Me, one of the youngest Coronals in the world for a girl. How? I barely know her. She is just some stranger to me. But when I see her I can't help but what to get to know her better. Also, this feeling I get in my gut. Mostly when I see her with other guys. I just don't get it.

*Elizabeth's POV*

I was surprised to see Darcy in the woods. I thought he wouldn't travel in there alone if he doesn't have to. But on the other hand, I am not really that surprised. He is a great warrior I have heard. So, the woods are nothing what he probably have seen or went up against.

I walked back into my house. The rest of family was up and having breakfast. My put my book down and joined them. I didn't say a word to any of them. But once my mother saw that I was back. She would question me.

"Where have you been?" She asked me.

"I took a walk." I said. I didn't lie to her. I did take a walk.

"You and those walks." She said shaking her head.

"Any trouble?" My papa asked me.

"No. Didn't see one. That what worries me the most." I told him.

"That is weird." My papa said.

"Can we have one meal where we don't talk about zombies?" My mother asked annoyed.

"Yes, my dear." My papa.

Then Hill came over to Jane. She had something in her hand. She then said,

"Letter for you mama."

Jane took the letter. Wow, how old fashion. No one really does letters any more. Most of us just text or call. But the people who got the money and title usually does letter. We all looked at her. She was reading it.

"Who is it from?" My mother asked impatient.

Jane looked up from the letter smiling. Now I am even curious. She then said,

"Caroline invited me for dinner." She said.

"Oh my gosh." My mother said excited.

"But the gentleman will not be joining us. They will be dining out." Jane said.

"What? Why?" My mother asked.

"I don't know. I just don't know how I will get there." Jane said.

"Horse back." My mother said.

It was later day Jane was getting ready to leave. I was looking at the sky. It worried me. It looked like it was going to rain. Zombies come out when it rains.

"Are you sure there is no other way?" Jane asked.

"No. With the rain. You will have to stay." My mother said smiling.

"Or they will send her home." I said.

"Oh hush Elizabeth." My mother said to me.

I ignored her. I then said,

"Go before it rain. Be careful."

Then Jane was gone. We went back inside. I was now away worried. Jane was going horseback alone. She is a good fighter. But still. I worry.
