She tripped on a tree root and fell into a pit. "Help!"She shouted. Jason appeared along with Jericho and another man. "Jason. Dad? Who are you?"She asked the other man. "Jace your highness."He said. "Why were you running?"Jason asked her. "I didn't know you had followed me."Ella started crying. "Ella, darling, I need for you to grab their hands."Jericho said. Jason and Jace held out their hands and Emma grabbed them. They pulled her up and she hugged Jason, crying. "I was so scared."She cried into his shoulder. "I know."He said. She smiled and looked up at him. He looked down at her and cupped her face. "I'm scared Jason."She said a single tear sliding down her cheek. "Enough. I'm tired of you saying your scared. If you're scared do something about it."He said. Ella put a hand on his cheek. "How can I… do something about it?"She asked, licking her lips. "Overcome the fear do what ever you're afraid to do."He encouraged. "But what if I'm just a coward?"She started to tear up again. "You are not a coward. Remember when you fought that man?"He asked. "Yeah." She shivered. "That wasn't being a coward."He said. "Yeah and if I'm afraid to do something does that mean I'm a coward?"She asked putting her other hand on the other side of his face. "No it means you're human."He said inching closer to Ella. "Yeah… human…"She murmured inching closer to him. Jason closed his eyes and tilted his head.
Ella pressed her lips to his and heard Amaris yelling,"Ella? Ella, now where did you go?" Sighing Ella pulled away from Jason and yelled back,"Over here mother!" Jason and Ella stood up and walked over to Amaris. "Oh' your father told me what happened are you alright?"She hugged her. "Yes I am alright."She smiled at Jason and parted from her mother. Ella held Jason's hand and walked back to the house.
Lunar went back to the palace with Jericho and Amaris. Ella refused to go back to the palace unless Nokomis was dead and Lunar smacked her then stomped out of the house ranting. Ella and Jason walked back to the building near the lake and Alice and Crescent were waiting for them. Ella looked at Jason and smiled. "We made it back."She said happily. "Yes we did."He smiled at her. Ella kissed his lips lightly and ran to Alice. "Alice! Crescent! Oh I missed you."Ella hugged them. "Yeah, why were you two gone for so long?"Crescent asked. "My mother,father, and cousin decided to drop in."Ella said. "And she kinda fell into a hole and there was a man trying to kill us. And Ella killed him with her handy shooting skills."Jason kissed Ella's cheek and smiled. Crescent ran a hand through her dark blue hair and went inside. Lilly walked outside and hugged Ella. "Nice of you to finally drop in."She said her blonde hair a mess. Alice's red hair whirled when she turned around and went inside.
