(Time Skip!)

I didn't know what else happened after that. But, when I woke up, my wound was numb. I looked around to see what I could. My eyes stopped wandering when they fell on the young man laying in the bed next to me.

I smiled.

I turned onto my side to face him (not the side that was hurt) And swept a few strands of white hair out of his face. The moment was ruined by my tummy. It growled because it was hungry and wanted some food. I gasped because I forgot that I haven't ate in awhile. It also woke Tristan.

"Was that your belly?" I blushed. I cracked a smile because it was also funny. Tristan smiled at me. "Okay. . . Well, here. . . I'll help you sit up." Tristan got off the hay bed and started to lift me up so my back was against the wall.

"Oh. . . Your finally awake." Me and Tristan both looked at the door to see Roxane. I weakly smiled and nodded. "By the way. . . Aren't you Lexi?" Roxane ask.

"Yes. . . I am." I told her. She looked at the young man with the white hair.

"Then, who is this?"

"He. . . Uh. . ." I looked at Tristan for help. He looked just as clueless as I felt.

"Oh. . . Friend? Family? What?"

"She is my friend. . . We grew up together. . . She was talking to me when she almost passed out. I was even about to tell her that I love her." Tristan told her. I glared at him, but went along with it. She nodded as if she didn't believe Tristan was telling the truth.

She gave me a bowl of. . . Stuff.

"Here, you need to eat. . . And you will have to leave so I can change her bandages." She said while looking at Tristan. He cocked his head to the side. Roxane pointed towards the door. "Leave until I say you can come back in!" I giggled. Tristan stood up and walked out.

"Does it hurt, at all?"

I shook my head.

"Not at all. . . Have you sent for Dustfinger, yet?"

"Why? Do you want him here? I did send Brianna and Jehan to the camp. . . Why are you so attached to my husband, anyways?" Roxane ask.

I gasped. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't just tell her that I have a crush on him. I don't want to be that much of a B**** to her. I hate her, but still, I don't want her to hate Dustfinger for it. . .

Oh, my god! I am caring about what she thinks about him! What has happened to me!
"Um. . . Because. . ."

"Lexi? At least tell me how long you've known him."

"Um. . . Three years maybe?"

She nodded. I think that she knows somethings up with us. . . Me and Dustfinger.

She took off my bloody bandages. I had winced and once in awhile say ow. . . more like yelling ow. Roxane would just smile when I screamed. When she was done, I finally got to eat. When Tristan came in, I had already finished eating all of my food.

"Wow. . . I guess its good that your eating." Roxane said as she picked up my bowl.

"Uh, Roxane. . . Would it be alright for me to go outside and sit?" She looked at me, smiled and nodded.

"Yes. . . Tristan should help you, though. . . I'll come out and work on the garden when I'm finished in here." I grinned like a child and nodded.

When she left the room, Tristan knelt on the bed beside me and started to lace up the front of my dress.

"Thanks Tristan. . . I'm surprised that you haven't left me yet since you have before." I said.

He smirked while still tightening my dress.

"Well, I have already thought about it, but if I did then you might have died." I giggled from the thought of a Shadowman being worried about me. After he was done, he picked me up and carried me outside. We stayed in the yard, but he sat me down under a shady tree. He set me down on my butt, but, then, I fell backwards onto my back.

"Lexi? Are you okay?" He ask.

He got closer and closer until he was right above my face. I scared him when I sat up a little, wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down.

I was meaning to make him lay down next to me, but when I pulled him down, he landed on top of me.

I started blushing like mad. Tristan just looked at me in the eyes, not even trying to get up.

"Tristan. . . Can you please get off of me?" I ask him.

He just smirked even more and shook his head.

"Nope. . . I do not want to."

"But. . . Your getting heavy. And what if someone sees us like this?" My face has to be so red right now and he must be loving it.

"So? If someone sees us like this then they'll know that your mine."

"Lexi? Your his what?"

Dun Dun Dunnnn! What's going to happen? Who was it that spoke? I will give you a hint. . . He's a male!
