I open my eyes only to realise I was dreaming. Climbing down the tree this time for real. My foot presses into the squishy floor It must have drizzled a bit while I was asleep.
Why I prefer this tree is because it leaves are very Broad and shady. I start to walk, inhaling the damp air as I go
My wandering about the woods these days has made me more familiar with the area. I have reached the T-junction which branches to that place. where he and I nearly...
Today I decided to do something different, I decided to go there.
I mean what are the chances of me running into him zilch right
Ever since the last game Anastasia had gone into a deep slumber and I couldn't reach her. I guess healing my wounds while trying to keep my body from falling apart must have been a drain on her, so bad, she had to hibernate for a bit.
Swoosh
I am nearly knocked down by large wolf. Why does he like to run into me like this?
I... I....
Flustered I start to speak at once.
I remind myself that this is a man I am angry with. Ignoring him I keep walking and he silently follows me. I should have just gone straight back to the hostel.
Stopping my thought train. But this is a man I am supposed to compete for. How come I don't want to have anything to do with him.
How am I supposed to live with him if I keep holding grudges against him?
I think of a future without him in it, a future with me back in my pack and I shiver with fear. Suddenly I feel so scared. I don't want to ever go back there again. I don't want to ever suffer the way I did again. I can't bear being looked down or having no future to look forward to again.
I have to change my future for me. And he is key to that future except I have other alternatives which I am seriously lacking right now.
As if sensing my fear, he comes closer.
I still don't see anything to him.
I am sorry Amelia.
I turned to see he had transformed.
I'm sorry, please forgive me.
I ponder my next words carefully, speaking slowly as I can. I accept your apology, but you and I can't be seen together alone from now.
I am here to compete for your hand and I will win it fair and square or no other way. Already I am the most hated person among the contestants because of you, any one of them is looking for an opportunity to have me either disqualified or messed Up.
So I beg you not to make this any harder for me. Fortunately we have been able to not meet each other since then.
Tell me you don't feel anything, tell me you don't crave my touch.
I tremble at his words but don't say anything.
Amelia these past few weeks I haven't seen you, had me going out of my mind with one thing. You.... I need you Amelia
Like deja vu, I remember the dream I just had and instinctively I put my hands up as if to defend myself from being kissed.
You can't , you can't
Weren't you listening to me?
He quirks an eyebrow at me.
Turning my back on him I start to hurry back to the hostel. Remembering something I yell over my shoulders.
And don't follow me!
