A/N – Welp, it's raining and I have all the curtains/blinds up, and am sitting in my "circle room," which is basically a room that is a circle and sticks out from the rest of the house. It's so magical in here when it rains, like I'm in the middle of a storm and the rain isn't touching me.

The idea of living in the forest before had been romantic. Living with Robin and his gang, sleeping under the stars, swimming in the river, the idea had been romantic, before. What she hadn't thought of was how annoying the critters could be when one was trying to fall asleep. She hadn't thought of John's loud snores, either. And that fact that she could not fall asleep made her even more teary-eyed; all she wanted to do was sleep after today.

She held back a sob, but couldn't keep back the sniffle. A very loud sniffle even compared to John's snores that could wake up the whole forest if not for the fact that his snores had become one with nature, after living in nature for so long.

Everything was so different in the forest. It was so dark. There's a difference between the dark of your bedroom, and the dark of the outside world at night. She felt like a little girl again, hiding beneath the covers to block out any nighttime monsters. And then there were the bugs. They were everywhere. She had to suppress the shriek that was forming when she found one in her hair. Her hair, for goodness sakes! And then one landed on the very tip of her nose, its beady eyes meeting her blue ones and she couldn't stop the loud terrified gasp that emitted from her mouth.

Well, after you let one out, you can't really stop the next one either, that comes from a sudden weight by your feet.

"Love, it's only me."

Her tears met his sympathetic eyes, tears that had been waiting to bubble over since she had laid down to go to bed thinking of her father, tears that had then bubbled over when she had thought a murderer was by her feet.

He grabbed the hand that she had been reaching out for him to take as soon as she had known it was him and he laid down next to her, whispering of how everything would be alright.

And for a few moments, in the darkness of the forest, amidst John's snores and the bugs of the night, she believed him.

Tell me that you're alright, yeah everything is alright.
