"Why is life such an issue in your mind." Ann quietly whispered the lyrics as she walked around the field. "Why are the answers to my problems hard to find." She smiled as she saw Jack run up to her.
"How are you feeling?" Jack quietly asked.
"Fine." Ann said. She was wearing a sweater, sweat pants and one of his pajama shirts. All the clothes she wore now belonged to Jack. She didn't mind. She felt that boy clothes felt better around her scarred body. She held her shoulders, taking in the warmth of the warm clothes. She didn't have any clothes of her own anymore. They were all at the Inn and she wasn't willing to go back there. She didn't ever want to leave the peaceful farm. Jack smiled.
"Good." He shivered. "It's chilly out today." He looked around.
"It's autumn silly." Ann stared at her friend. "Of course it's chilly." She shuddered.
"Well okay." Jack turned back to Ann. "Time for lunch." Ann nodded and followed Jack back into the house.

"When will he wake up mommy?" Ciar was leaning over Ghai's body. They had walked to the docks and gotten on a boat. They had brought the unconscious boy with them.
"When he isn't tired anymore." Elli tried her best to not let Ciar know that her best friend was badly hurt. "That's when he will wake up." She tried not to cry.
"When will that be?" Ciar's huge green eyes almost matched the color of Ghai's hair.
"Soon…" Elli's voice quivered as she ran her fingers through Ghai's hair. The boy moaned slightly then shivered. Ciar ran to a nearby closet and grabbed blankets and pillows. She immediately started assorting and arranging the pillows and blankets on and around his body. Elli was proud of her daughter's care for this young boy.
"Please wake up…" Ciar's eyes started to water. "Please come talk to me." She dug her face into his chest. "I need you…" Elli walked up to her daughter and scooped her up into her arms. She cradled the little brunette until she fell asleep.
"He's fine." She whispered into the five year old's ear. Elli gently set the sleeping child next to the unconscious one and closed the door to the cabin room. "I hope."

Ann wiped her mouth with a napkin and pushed her chair back.
"Thanks Jack." She chimed. "It was good." Ann picked up the plates and put them into the sink. Jack walked over to her.
"Your smiling." He noticed. He smiled also. Ann quickly blushed and covered her face with the sleeves of her shirt. "Ann, it's a good thing." Jack commented as he brought Ann's hands away from her face. She was still blushing but now she was crying.
"I'm sorry." She whispered. "I just can't forget what you said." She looked into his eyes. "I don't know how to believe it."
"You may not have to believe it, just know that it's true and it may come naturally." Jack smiled and put his hands on Ann's waist. Ann wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and pulled him into a hug.
"Thanks Jack." She whispered into his ear. They stood in the embrace for a while then Ann broke it and walked over to the bed. She sniffled and sat down. "What will I do with my life?" She looked at her feet.
"Follow your dreams." Jack didn't know what to say but he hoped he could help. He was trying his best.
"I don't have any…" Ann replied, still looking down at the floor. "I don't dream."
"Why not?" Jack wondered. Ann shrugged her shoulders. "You don't know what you want to do…." Ann sadly shook her head.
"I…" She quivered. "I just don't know what to do…I don't have goals. I just…." She looked up at Jack. "I've always just done what I was told."
"Ann." Jack walked over to Ann and sat beside her. "You have to live your own life now."
"I don't know how." Ann replied, staring at her shoes again.
"Then I can help you." Jack brought Ann's chin up to look at her eyes. He smiled and Ann blushed.
"Okay…" Ann whispered. She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her side and watched her close her eyes. "I trust you." She said.

"Ciar?" A young voice wavered in the dark room. "Ciar!" He started to panic. He stood up but immediately fell onto his face. He lifted his head up and called out again. "Ciar! Miss Elli!"
"Ghai?" A slender and beautiful voice came from a light that was a few feet away from him. The light expanded and covered him like a blanket. "Ghai! Your awake." Elli walked into the room and helped the little boy onto his feet. She knelt down and smiled into his face.
"Hello Miss Elli." The boy said. "Where is Ciar?" He wondered. Just then a tiny black figure appeared in the space of light that Elli had walked through.
"Ghai?" The figure whispered. "Are you okay?" The figure walked over to him and he realized that it was Ciar. Ghai ran up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Ciar! Are you okay?" Ghai pulled away from the hug and grabbed one of her hands. She giggled and nodded.
"We're going to my mommy's home." Ciar chimed. "In a new place called Minal City!" She beamed.
"It's, Mineral Town dearest." Elli corrected her cute brunette of a daughter. Ciar blushed.
"Cool!" Ghai broke the uneasy silence. "Where are we now?"
"We're on a boat." Ciar chimed.
"Why am I on the boat?" Ghai asked. Elli looked at him again.
"Your staying with us from now on." Ghai gasped while Elli and Ciar smiled greatly.
"Really?" He asked. Ciar hugged her friend again and brought him out of the room. His eyes enlarged greatly as he saw that they were surrounded by water.
"Yes…really." Ciar's cute smile spread across her face. Ghai was amazed. He had never been out of Dustwood City. Neither had Ciar. Now they were there together, hand in hand, both hoping for a better future.
