I slid off Cheif's back, allowing him to wander slightly. I knew that as long as Leona stayed, he would stay. I gathered up some dead branches from a nearby thicket of trees, placing them in a camp fire configuration. I pulled out my flint and steel from my bag, before gesturing for Maurina to come over. "Can you get the fire going? I want to scout out the area before it gets to dark." I asked, holding out the tools.

I smiled and took the tools. "Go ahead, I'll get the fire going. Brutis and the horses are here. I'd have to be deaf and blind to not hear a warning from them."
Bending down, I hit the pieces together, getting a spark. As soon as I get some of the kindling caught fire, I blew gently on it, fanning the flames.
When the fire was going pretty well, I placed some meat over a spit and began cooking.

I spent about twenty minutes scouting around, but didn't find anything interesting. To our right, far off in the distance, were some moving things. I could only assume they were Ex. I quickly made my way back to our camp, being greeted by the smell of cooking meat. "Mm, that smells good." I said. "What is it?"

"A rabbit. Brutis brought it to me earlier and since it's so cold out, I figured it wouldn't go bad." I told him, scratching Bru's head. Leona and Chief were content to munch on the grass and bushes nearby.
When the meat was ready, I plucked off a piece for Jacob, Brutis, and myself. I bit into the meat and the juices melted in my mouth. "Bru! You got a good one!"
I licked the juices off of my fingers before Brutis could get it.

I bit into the rabbit, savoring the juicy meat. It had been a awhile since I had eaten fresh meat. After I had pick the bone clean, I reached in my bag and grabbed my black ocarina. My dad had gotten it for me for my fifteenth birthday, seeing as I loved Legend of Zelda games. I had practiced everyday for months, till I had mastered it. It's soothing notes had always brought me comfort, more so now than ever. It was the only keepsake from my life before. I began to play my favorite song, The Song of Storms, but slower than usual. More like the eye of the storm. Soft and calm.

I watched him pull a strange black instrument from his pack. I didn't know what it was but when he started playing it, I relaxed. The song was slow and melodic. I'd always loved music. I had played the violin and sung. But I hadn't done that in years. Maybe...if I found the right time?
Brutis gave a howl, singing to the music.

I put everything I had into that song. All of my troubles, every worry I had felt during the day, I let flow into the notes. As I played I thought of home, and my family. I missed them terribly. Those feelings flowed into the song. I thought of my feelings for Maurina, however confused they might be. It felt so strange. I realize that it was love. Not only love, but also a feeling of brotherly protectiveness. These feelings clashed in my mind. I let them wash away into my music. By the time I had finished, I realized that tears had been rolling down my face for quite some time now. I quickly wiped them away.

I saw him wipe at his eyes, but I didn't pry. I didn't want to upset him. I didn't know how I felt about this strange boy. One part of me wanted to get to know him better. To learn his likes and dislikes. But another part of me didn't care, so long as I got to be near him.
"So, what's your story?" I finally asked, looking over at him, "If you don't mind me asking."
Brutis lifted his head and looked at Jacob as well.

I hesitated. Did I trust this girl enough to tell her? Yes of course i did. But was I ready to relive those old nightmares? Those horrible events that I had, for the last two years, done my best to forget. As I thought about it, I trembled slightly. I remebered the darkness, the blood and the screaming... so much screaming. No I couldn't put myself through that again. "I-I don't mind you asking, but I can't tell you. Please understand, it's not because I don't trust you, it's just..." I put my head between my clenched fists. The tears had begun to flow again. "I just can't."

"I understand. The last two years have been...well they've been hell," I berated myself for upsetting him like that. Hesitantly, I crawled over to him and placed a hand on his back. I don't know what prompted me to do it. It just felt right. Not knowing what else to do, I began to sing. It was an old song about rainbows and nature. Her mom used to sing her to sleep with it. Her voice was clear and sorrowful. But she was glad she was able to sing again.

Her touch was electric, sending a shiver up my spine. It seemed to soothe my wounds, which had begun to sting again. When she began to sing my soul seemed to sing with her, shaking off the pain of my past. Her voice was beautiful and enchanting, like that of the Sirens of ancient myth. Maybe it was a part of her powers, but I didn't really care. I simply sat and listened. I could't understand why she trusted me so much. Even after all she had been through, here she sat, comforting and singing to me, a total stranger. It was then that I realized it. I loved this girl, loved her more than I had ever loved anyone. I would do anything for her, as long as it made her happy. I leaned against her shoulder, hoping she wouldn't mind, and whispered, "Thank you."

"I-you're welcome," I spoke softly. I was stunned when he leaned into me. My nerve endings were acutely aware of his presence. Everywhere they touched sparked a fire on my skin. He seemed to trust me. I don't know what I'd done to spark that trust but I was suddenly glad I did. He was different from every other boy I'd ever meet. With a start, I realized I trusted him back. I wanted to be more then just friends with him. I hadn't thought I'd find someone like that ever. I was suddenly worried he could tell and didn't want me like that. I pet Brutis absently, letting his warm fur soothe me.

A worry began to grow in the back of my mind, gnawing at my consciousness. What if she didn't feel the same way I did? I wasn't sure what I would do if she rejected me. I decided that I would wait. Take some time to judge her reactions. Then if she seemed to reciprocate my feeling toward her, I would tell her how I felt. I lay back, using my bag as a pillow, and stared up at the stars. One thing you couldn't deny, the apocalypse sure had improved New York's air quality. My eyes began to grow heavy as I stared into the sky. Soon I had drifted into a peaceful slumber.

I nearly cried out in pain when he moved away. I was so surprised by my reaction I sat there stunned, watching him lay back. My face grew red as I realized what a creeper I'd look like if he suddenly sat up. But I couldn't look away! Brutis had already fallen asleep. So I lay down, resting my head on him. I lay on my side, watching Jacob. His deep even breathing lulling me into sleep.

Screaming... So much screaming... My sleeping mind was filled with my terrible memories. They tore at me, like a lion would tear at its prey. After a while I began to dream. I stood in a dark wood, staring at a house through the trees. Moving closer, I stopped beneath a large window from which light was pouring. A woman suddenly peeked past the closed curtains. When she saw me she screamed, running away from the window. Her name was Kathrine. I don't know how I knew her name, but I did. I teleported into the building, standing at the end of a long hallway. Kathrine stood at the other end, letting out a shriek, before entering one of the rooms and slamming the door behind her. Silly girl. I was not confined to human limitations. Walls and doors meant nothing to me. I moved into the room with her. She sat huddled in the corner, sobbing and trembling. I stood directly before her, reaching out with my pale white hand. She would be mine... I started awake suddenly, gasping for breath. Rubbing my temples, I thought about the dream. I had never seen the woman before, but I knew whose eyes I had been seeing out of. Twice now I had dreamed of him, but he was just a story right? Some scary ghost tale someone had made up on the Internet. But all stories start with facts.

I woke with a start and pulled out my fans, searching for the danger. Jacob tossed and turned, crying out in his sleep.
"Jacob! Hey! It's alright! Hey! It's just a bad dream! Jacob! I'm right here!" I franticly called, trying to rouse him. Unable to stand seeing him seeing him like that, I enfolded him in a hug, somehow hoping he'd sense it and relax!
Brutis whined, circling them nervously. He yipped, and looked at Jacob anxiously. The horses pulled at there reins, freaked out by Jacobs screams and the wolfs strange behavior.

I awoke with so much force that I accidentally knocked Maurina back. My mind was in such agony that I didn't even notice. Images flashed through my head, of the terrible night this had all started. I watched again as the monster tore my parents apart. As I tore them apart... I threw my head back and let out an wail of despair, more like the sound of tearing metal than a human cry. The horses tore themselves loose, bolting away into the trees. My face was bleeding profusely, and it felt like acid ran through my viens. I was the one who killed them. My family died at my hands. How could I live with that? I had to get away, had to keep Maurina safe. I was too dangerous. Maybe the world would be better off without me... I crawled a few feet before the pain overtook me. As the world faded to black, all I say was, "I'm sorry..."

"Jacob! Hey! You're okay! I'm here!" I yelled, trying to get his attention. He was frantic, trying to get away from me. I sobbed, trying to call him down. Did I do something wrong? I didn't think I had. When he passed out, I crawled over to his side, gently stroking his hair out of his face. He'd ripped open his scabs. With a heavy heart I sent about cleaning them. Then I pulled him by the fire with Brutis' help. I placed a blanket over him and put his head in my lap. He had a fever. I took a damp cloth and gently wiped the sweat from his brow.

In my unconsciousness I did not dream. Instead I was forced to watch my slaughter over and over again. I was in a hell of my own design, unable to escape or even look away. My mental agony led to me speaking softly in my fitful sleep. Over and over I repeated the same words. "I did it. It was me. It's me. It's me. Save her. Save her. Save her..." Then a soft silky voice, filled with gleeful malice, whispered to my mind. "You can't"

I didn't know who he was talking about but I suddenly was flooded by jealousy. I realized I wanted Jacob to want me that way. Shame and guilt washed over me like an icy bath. How could I even think like that?! He was in pain!
"Jacob, hey, you're okay! You're safe! Please, wake up, let me help you," I whispered. I still held his head in my lap, trying to keep his fever down.
