Sorry for the wait I have been busy. It was homecoming week. Well if you are still interested here is the story.

Chapter 12

Jake woke up in a room with a fire blazing beside him. He was quite comfortable except for the pain in his side. It was dark out and Jake saw that he was in the room alone. HE pulled off the blanket to see himself shirtless with bandages around his waist. He poked at the red spot on the bandage. It still was very tender. The door opened and Eleanor walked in.

"Oh, Jake you're awake."

"Where are we?" he asked.

"After you passed out we decided to run from the town. Will figured out that My Stepmother new I was a live because of the magic mirror. We decided to go to place nobody knew about. That is when we met the little men from the circus. Do you remember them?" She asked.

"Yes I remember them. Are we here with them?" he asked.

"Yes, they said they would gladly take us in because I was so kind to them. They had a little secret cottage in the woods and that were we are now."

Jake looked around the room. He now noticed that the furniture in the room was rather small. He noticed the roof was also very low and that he was sleeping on three little beds instead of one.

"Who put the bandages on me?" asked Jake in pain. "They are very tight and it feels like I can't breath."

"Oh Will insisted that he put on the bandages." Said Eleanor, smiling.

"Oh did he, now."

"Well that why I came in here." Said Eleanor, pulling out a roll of bandages.

She grabbed the old bandages around Jakes waist and was quickly unraveling them. Jake was surprised by this and when he felt Eleanor's cold hands on his stomach, he began to laugh, but not to long because the laughing hurt his stomach.

"Eleanor! Heheh owwww. Stop that I can do it myself."

"Don't be such a baby look I already have the bandage off." The wound had not healed allot and it looked very sore.

Eleanor stuck her hand oh Jakes side. He was laughing and as a reaction, he turned to lay on his back catching Eleanor's arm under him. She was then pulled up on top of him. They stared at each other. Jake could feel himself breathing hard and feeling Eleanor's breath on his face. His eyes met her green eyes and they were silent. Jake moved closer to her face and she did the same. His lips brushed against hers when all of a sudden she pulled back. She sat next to him looking a bit embarrassed.

"Well Jake I say we better get the new bandages on." And she started tending to his wound. They both remained silent. Jake looking confused and Eleanor looking like nothing had happened. One of the little men walking into the room soon broke the silent.

"Ah! I see the boy is up. How are you feeling?" asked the little dwarf.

"I'm fine thank you very much for taking care of us." answered Jake.

"No problem. I am John, but everyone calls me Doc since I have a few skills with medicine. I am the one who tended to your wound, but your brother was the one who bandaged it." He said chuckling.

"I will leave now." Said Eleanor walking out of the room.

"She is a nice girl isn't she?" said Doc. "Do you know that when you were passed out she was very worried about you she didn't leave your side."

"Really?" asked Jake that made him feel a little better.

The door opened again to reveal Cavaldi.

"Oh, Jake!" He yelled. "We were worried for you." He then grabbed Jake and hugged him. Jake groaned as pain rushed into his side.

"Will said we will stay here for a while.' Said Cavaldi. "Isn't it cute, it is so small."

Music then rushed into the room.

"We are having a party in honor of our guest." Said Doc. "Do you think you could come Jake?"

"Yes I think I can I could use some fun." Answered Jake, putting on his shirt.

"Yes a party." Said Cavaldi. "I am a very good dancer Jake come I'll show you." With that, they rushed out of the room. To see a band of little men playing instruments and dancing, with Will, Anjelika, and Eleanor.
