New Friends

Third pov

After Honey finished helping the tall male with his injury "so..um My name is Ajax but my friends call me Jax.." said the tall male "well it's nice to meet you Ajax, I'm Honey but my friends call me Honey." said Honey "you too" Jax said while he was watching Honey struggling to put the bandages on the top shelf, stood up and walked over to Honey "you need some help?" Jax said looking at the struggling male, Honey turned around to see a Jax standing over him, Honey could practically feel himself blushing "ye..yeah sure" Honey said nervously, Jax grabbed the bandages from honey's hands and put the bandages on the shelf. "So..um..what do you wanna do?" Jax asked, "uh well do you how to climb a tree, or maybe return all the stuff you stole?" honey said angrily "I can't without getting arrested and if I get arrested I will be stuck in the king's dungeon," Jax said looking at the short male "why do you steal?" Honey asked "I steal for money, so I can pay off a debt," Jax said unsure why he was telling Honey this. "How bad is the debt that you have to steal?" Honey asked concerned about Jax. Even though Honey just met Jax and not to mention the fact that Jax was kidnapped, and also steals Honey still felt generally worried about Jax, Jax had a kind heart. "Well...I am in debt by 287,976 gold" Jax said chuckling nervously "oh...Wait What!!" Honey said practically yelled, "YOU'RE IN DEBT BY 287,976 GOL-" Honey was cut off by Jax putting his hand over his mouth "shhh..shut up!!" Jax yelled quietly which scared Honey "listen." Jax whispered, "I think I heard something over here!" A guard yelled while getting hit in the head by another guard. The guard walked over to the entrance of the cave "he's in here" said the other guard "we need to hide" Jax said in a worried tone "well do you know a good hiding place or another exit?" Honey asked concerned "yeah follow me," Jax said while grabbing Honey's hand "o-okay" Honey stuttered as his face was turning a light shade of pink, Jax went straight toward a small hole in the cave's wall that was covered up with a square piece of plywood. Jax moved the plywood covering the escape, "This will take you outside the cave" Jax said quickly "go and don't look back I will be out in a second" Jax said while pushing Honey into the tunnel, "but you won't make it out in time" Honey said in a worried tone "don't worry about me" Jax said moving the plywood in front of the escape tunnel Honey could hear the guards talking "we finally found you" one of the guards said, "let's go!" another guard said loudly "you're going to the king's dungeon" said a different voice. One of the voices sounded familiar to Honey but he couldn't figure out where he heard it before.
