(I do not own Tin Man or any of the songs in the story.) (Im sorry my chapters are so short, I can't seem to make them any longer.) (Savin Me by Nickelback)

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

When Cain and DG rode out of the stables, Cain felt a rush of freedom. He always felt like that when he was with DG. He looked over at DG, who had a huge smile across her face as her horse galloped through the field. Her hair blowing in the breeze.

When they found their spot, they secured the horses, then sat down on the bank. It was warm out today so Cain decided to take his duster and hat off. DG settled down next to him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Her soft blue eyes were looking out over the lake. She was beautiful. He had an urge to pull her into his arms and hold her. However he resisted the urge.

He knew that they could never be. She probably wouldn't want an old Tin Man with demons. DG probably wanted to be with a young handsome duke. Plus her parents would never allow it another thing was he was older than her. He had nothing to offer her.

Her question brought him out of deep thought.

"Cain? Are you ok? You look tired.", DG asked in a concerned tone.

That was something he didn't want her to ask. He didn't want her to know that he was having nightmares that scared him. He didn't want her to feel burdened by his problems. So he said the first thing that came to his mind.

"I'm fine Deege. How were your lessons with Tutor today?", Cain replied, quickly changing the subject. Now maybe she would leave it alone.

"They were fine. Now he is teaching me how to manipulate different elements. First we are going to work on water. Tutor says that is the easiest one to learn.", she explained.

"That's good.", he replied turning his face away from her, hoping to discourage her from trying to drag anything out of him.

"Cain. What's going on. I can tell when you are hiding something from me. I wish you would just tell me.", DG told him.

He let out a deep breath, and thought Oh here we go.

"Deege..", he said.
