Djaq lay completely still, eyes closed, praying Will would realize it was her, and fearing that he already did. The sword pressed uncomfortably into her throat.

"What do you want?"

"Will, it is me...it is Djaq!"

"Djaq..."

The sword fell away with a clatter, and when she opened her eyes, Will was kneeling beside her, a look of utter terror on his face.

"I could have killed you, what are you doing here?"

Djaq sat up and threw her arms around him. At first, he didn't respond, then wrapped hsi arms tightly around her.

"I needed you to know that there is nothing between Alan and me. I only told him there might be a chance, because I was afraid of him turning on us again if I told him no.

But I do not care anymore. I want everyone to know about us if it means I will not lose you."

"Djaq, I knew in my heart that it wasn't true, but I was so scared because you mean so much to me. I couldn't stand the thought that I might lose you once Alan came back."

"You will never lose me."

The two sat there for some time with their arms wrapped around each other. Djaq lay her head on his shoulder and nuzzled into his neck, breathing in the scent of him, her favorite smell in the world.

Will gently stroked her back. He had never believed he could feel so lonely in his life, until the second he thought she was going to leave him for Alan.

Then reason stepped in. Djaq's head shot up, and she pulled back.

"What will we do tonight? It is too dark to go back to camp."

"I wouldn't want to anyway, I only want to hear you snore tonight, not the whole bloody camp."

"Snore? I do not snore!"

"Whatever you say, Djaq." Will winked as he stood up and offered her his hand. "You can sleep under my cloak tonight, I'll sleep on the other side of the fire."

"No one is here to see us, Will. You could sleep beside me."

Will smiled at her, and took her hand. "Are you sure?"

"I am sure."

The two lay down together, and snuggled against each other under the cloak.

The fire burned brightly, adding warmth.

Djaq turned on her side, to face Will.

"WIll, I..." She drifted off.

"Yeah?"

"Nothing, we will talk in the morning. I am very tired."

She closed her eyes, and turned so her back was to him. WIll chuckled softly to himself, and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her snug against him.
