Chapter Four:

When I woke up the next morning, I swore I was still dreaming, because there was a man sitting next to a fire that I had been next to. But that wasn't why I thought I was still dreaming. I see guys all the time but none of them look as good as this one. The only ones that are as handsome as him are in my dreams. I pinched my arm just to make sure, and it hurt as it normally would. This was no dream…….. I was ten feet away from the hottest guy I had ever seen.

He had wavy brunette hair like me but it was completely darker than mine. You could almost mistake it for black. His eyes were as green as the leaves on the tree next to me. He was wearing swade pants with a loose shirt, and black boots (all the men wear this that I know). Around his neck was a necklace with a medal on it. It had a symbol but I could not make out what it was. It was when I saw the bow around his back, I knew who he was…………. it was Kered, the archer I had met last night. The archer who I dreaded coming along with me was more handsome than any other man I have ever seen. Almost as much as Raul.

Kered saw that I was awake smiled and said, "Good morning."

"Good morning," I replied. Then I added, "Do you have any idea of where we are or where we are going?"

"No. I thought you said you knew where we were going."

"If you recall, last night I said that I hadn't planned that far yet. Besides why wouldn't you have a plan of where you are going? Did you run away or something?"

He sat silently for a moment and replied, "Yes, I ran away, but I don't want to talk about it okay?"

"Why don't you want to talk about it?"

"Because I just don't want to. Is that hard for you to understand?" When he said that he seemed so angry. His face was a light red and I could've sworn I even saw a tear in his eye. Obviously for whatever reason he ran away for it was still hurting him. Like how I still hurt from the death of my fiancé. There was a long silence.

I finally broke the silence, "Well I will tell you why I ran away. It will probably be good for me to talk about it," I took a deep breath, "well I guess after my fiancé was murdered a few weeks ago, I couldn't take it anymore. Walking around my village made me sick knowing that anyone of them could have been his murderer. My once happy life became a miserable nightmare. Everywhere I went people would look at me and whisper about how I am so sad about my fiancé or guess whom his murderer was. One night I couldn't take it anymore; I had to get out, so I ran away. After walking in the forest for about an hour I realized that I had brought nothing but the clothes on my back. I had decided to go back and get some supplies when I ran into the dragon. Then I met you," I paused again, "If it wasn't for you I would be dead now. So thank you and sorry for being really bitter about it."

"It wasn't your fault you were bitter, you just went through a tough time," he replied sympathetically.

"Thanks for listening to me, it was probably good for me to talk about it," I paused, "and if you ever want to talk about why you ran away, you can talk to me."

"Your welcome and thanks."

We started to walk again. When we were walking for about a hour, I noticed that there were some guards ahead of us. I said, "Look, some guards lets go ask them where we are or where the closest city is."

Kered replied very quickly, "No. Lets go the other way. We can't talk to those guards."

"Why not?"

His voice became quit and very serious, "Because……………………. those guards are after me."

My eyes widened, "What?"

Tell me how I am doing! R&R!
