Miles and miles away from the safety of the palace and his Princess Wyatt Cain sat on a log staring into a camp fire. If he had not been so tired or depressed Cain might have taken a second to stop and look at the beautiful forest around him that was changing from vivid green to autumn greens, browns and golds.
It was early morning; the first sun had just begun to rise and already the camp of resistance fighters were bustling around him.
Cain was cold and the autumn weather did not help his shivering form. He was also very tired the only thing he could think of all night was DG and how he missed her.
Tipping his duster over his eyes Cain thought to himself 'I think I'm getting too old for this… How far north could we possibly have to go?' he asked himself 'If we wind up at The Northern Island I swear, I will kill that bastard on site'
Cain shivered at the thought of going to The Northern Island… He hated the cold
…What he wouldn't give to have DG in his arms right now… She would defiantly keep him warm right now
"Father?" Cain looked up to see his son Jeb standing in front of him with a cup of what he assumed was coffee. Jeb handed the cup to his father "Drink up. We have a long day ahead of us" Cain took the cup and looked away from his son, deep in thought.
"What's wrong?" Jeb asked, sitting down beside Cain on the log. "Nothing" Grunted Cain as he took a sip of the coffee
"Tell me… a boy can only watch his father suffer for so long" Cain stared at his son. "You miss Princess DG" Jeb declared.
"No I don't. She's the youngest Princess and I'm an old washed up Tin Man…" Cain's voice trailed off.
"You can stop with the act father, everyone here knows. You even stopped wearing your wedding ring!" Jeb gestured to the bare ring finger on his father's right hand. "You've been moping around like some love sick school boy since we left. You're obviously thinking about a girl and I know it isn't mother!"
Cain glared at his son "Excuse me?"
Jeb stood his ground "You heard me father" Cain shook his head
"The way you look at her, talk to her, hold her! How can you deny it? You love DG! You should have never left her. She needs you more than we do here" as Jeb finished his rant his father slammed down his cup and stood up
"We were asked to do a job! To protect the Princesses… to protect the O.Z. Was I supposed to tell the Queen 'No, I'm going to stay here with your daughter?'" Asked Cain
Jeb started to walk away "I was asked to go after Zero father. Me and the resistance fighters. You just came along!" he shouted over his shoulder
The camp came to a hault when the yelling started. "Get back to your work" Jeb ordered clearly annoyed
"Don't you walk away from me Jeb Cain! I came because you need all the help you can get" Jeb turned around and looked at his father
"I don't want to lose you again" Whispered Cain
Jeb walked back to Cain and put his hand on his father's shoulder. "You won't." Jeb answered simply "I have things to attend to father. I'll talk to you later"
Cain watched as his son made his way across the camp to where the horses were hitched. There he met a young brown haired girl whom he came up behind and wrapped his arms around her waist as she continued to feed the horses. Jeb whispered something in her ear, kissed her, and then walked away. Jeb glanced over at his father one last time, the two men locked eyes. Cain nodded and gave a little smile.
'Good luck with her son' Cain thought as he went to look for something to do.
