Chapter 8 - AfterMath

Til woke up early, and saw Aaron was asleep. Til didn't normally wake up early. 'Maybe he stayed here, so he didn't see the others'. Til walked outside the cave and stared at her reflection in the lake. The sun was just coming up, Til just sighed staring at her reflection. She looked back at the cave again, Aaron was still curled up in his grey blankets. Til walked over to the cave and climbed her way on top. She stared at the pit of burned ash's from their fire, she sat in front of it and stared down at the lake, her reflection out of sight. Til sat their thinking, about life, what would happen if she went back, if she had stayed and not run away. 'No, they were abusive, I made the right choice, they aren't sad either way' she reassured herself. She sat there for a few hours, just thinking. Aaron woke up and looked around the cave panicking, he couldn't see Til, Awake or asleep, dead or alive. Aaron rushed out the cave and over to the shining lake. "Morning" Til called down. Aaron spun around to see her on the cave. "You scared the Hell out of me" he called out laughing. He climbed his way up the cave to sit with her. "Did you sleep well?" he asked once he sat with her, "Yeah it was ok" Til said smiling. "Did you get cold?" he asked curiously, "Not really, I fell asleep pretty quickly" Til told him. "We never said how old We are, did we?" Aaron questioned, "No, we didn't I'm sixteen" Til replied looking back up at him."Oh I'm eighteen" Aaron replied, "but your short, aren't you?" Aaron laughed, "hey hey, it's that bad" Til said trying to sit up straight to look taller then she really was. Aaron sighed, "Your exhausted, aren't you?" Til Sighed, she laid back quickly. Aaron quickly reached his arms out and catched her so she didn't fall on the old fire ashes. Til completely forget they were there, she jumped up, the second his arms touched her, she felt her face go red. "You should be careful" Aaron reminded sliding down of the cave. "Hey, How many hybrids know where you live? " Til asked sliding down the same side Aaron did. Aaron turned around, "At least half of them, Why?" Aaron asked. "You should rest" Aaron told Til as we wondered off. Til Went in the cave, she was tired, So she went to sleep. After awhile she woke again. Anyway a few days had past until Aaron asked her to go back to the meeting grounds with him.
