Merry walks in and closes the door behind her and sits in a chair that is below the bed, I wipe the tears that have been sliding down my face “What is it merry and yes I am fine” I say with tears still falling down ”Well, first don’t lie I saw you just then and what you said earlier, second I… was told by both uncle and my brother about something and wanted to ask” she says pausing at the second reason why she came into my room.

“I am not lying I am fine it was just a… at the moment reaction nothing more what about the question you wanted to ask” I say trying to get off the topic of remembering wick “is it about the time we had wick if so you can talk” she says like she was reading my mind, quite filled the room before the sound of merry moving around was heard.

I look up to see her siting at the top of the ladder to get up to the bed, as she sat there she was fiddling around with her hands most likely trying to figure out what to say next, I move to sit next to her dangling my legs of the side of the bed.

“So it was what happened at wick was it not?” she asks in a soft tone, I look down with disgust in my eyes about that place “Yes it was about when you got kidnapped” I say in defeat of trying to divert the topic “When you were kidnapped by the person you were interested in me and mark both kidnapped him and tortured him for information on the entrances and exits of the place, how many people where in there and the build of said people” I let out a breath and breath in some air.

Why am talking about this? Why am I just blurting out this information? I…… don’t want to her to hear this stuff, but she should know this information about this as well as it does involve her. I sigh out loud “While we were getting information he… went off on a talk not giving information or anything just talking about random things… then he got to the point of you” I breath out air struggling to speak as what he had said has always stuck with me “He stated that he was confused on which girl we were asking for information about as he had so many other girls fall for him which I have a hard time believing, he then remembered you as the new toy he was going to play with, at that point before he continue I pulled out a gun and pointed it at him ready to pull the trigger but I didn’t, he noticed that I would not pull it and continued with his talk about how he was going to use you as his new toy” I stop and breath out again unsure if I want to continue.

“at that point I wanted to pull the trigger but I didn’t, so he continued to talk and talk and talk until it got so bad me and mark were disgusted by him, we had enough and knocked him out and left him in a ditch and retrieved you and started to find a new home, every night from that point on I had nightmares on whether or not I should have shoot him then and there” I say with a tremble in my voice having to remember him talking about what stuff he was coming up with in his mind, I slouch forward almost falling off the side of the bed.

“So that was why you are so protective of me from then on” she says, I look at her seeing her face plastered with a sad look “Yes roughly” I answer back, where do we take this conversation now? How can we talk about something else as though it never happened “you know whenever you leave I wonder ‘will he be alright out there all by himself’ I worry so much about you and I don’t know why I do so, if it has something to deal with my feeling’s like love I don’t want to trust it as what happened at wick with me and Kade then with what happened with the trap not long ago I want to be happy and help out but if I do I think something bad will happen like those two times” she blurts out to get rid of the quietness, I sit up properly and look forward to stare at the wall in front of me “Well if not for you being our cook, cleaner and scout we would have died long ago in the snow” she scuffs at my remark to her “throughout the entire journey here I was nothing but dead wight and slowing us down and even now I am dead wight” I sight prompting her to stop talking “you really don’t understand how important you were while we travelled? You were our cook when none of us knew how to cook, you scouted when me and mark were tired and taught us first aid but we still relied on you to heal us as you have more experience than both of us” she looked surprised by what I had said when I looked back at her.

“Now what was the question you wanted to answer as I bet the two bellow are getting suspicious of you being up here for this long” I said know that those two set it up to push the tower over and get the relationship started “OH, yes thank you for reminding me” she said “um, I-I was wondering… as the two bellow told me something” she said trying to advert making eye contact with me, I think I have a rough understanding of what they said “They had said that you have had been romantically interested in me for a while so I wanted to see if that was true” she said flustered, honestly woman are a different bread and I am clueless on how they work “they took their time with telling you” ”What do you mean by that?” I look at her with shock on how she does not understand what I mean “I’m saying yes and surprised that they have taken their sweet time with telling you, I guess they got fed up with waiting and just told you” As the silence past it grew awkward and her face progressively more red.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

At this point I might as well give up on trying to ask her out as she might not understand what I mean and she is not yet in touch with that feeling of romance and accepting that she is obviously into me, sounds like a poorly written crush sub-plot, she hops down and walks over to the door “well I will leave you to be you and get on with what you were going to do after you woke up” she opens the door and steps outside and close’s it behind her “What am I going to do” I hear faintly from the other side of the door, Definitely a poorly done crush sub-plot.

I lay back down, what time is it at the moment, I grab my helmet sitting on the table below somehow I am not particularly sure as I could not see what I was grabbing but alas. I strap it on and look at the time 3:45 pm. In that case I am going back to sleep until 7 or 6, I take off the helmet and place it on one the corners of the bed and let it rest and close my eyes to sleep.

I can’t help but think that whole talk was very unnatural and awkward to a degree I never want to go through it again, but I feel relieved that I did talk about that event to her and let her know. God I have no talking skills even though I do know her for a while I just can’t talk to girls or anyone really I guess.

Even if I do sleep what will happen? Will I go bac to those same dreams as always or will I have a normal one for once. I close my eyes and hope for the best outcome for this, I just never again want to go through that whole experience, I love to repeat myself in my thoughts.

I slowly slip away into the darkness that is sleep.

“Wake Up!” I hear in my left ear, I turn to see who had awoken me and it was mark of all people “Ow, could you have not done that” I said with a groggy tone “Jeez you need to wake up better but I can tell you were quite the dream what was it about to keep you that much into your sleep?” Dream? Oh yeah now I remember “Yeah, it was pretty nice” I said wanting water desperately “what was it about come on tell me” I smile a little at that request as if I told him that I was think about a very romantic trip with merry he would start scheming things with the old man.

“No, that information is only privilege to me and me only” a very potent sigh of anger could be heard from mark not knowing what juicy information I could be dreaming about. I look behind me as I feel as if someone is watching me noting down what I was doing and, I will have to keep a watch out for now, me and mark walk down to the main big area that is slightly looking less cluttered and filled up with scrap and materials.

Welcoming as ever with the 2 others sitting around a table that is newly built with walls and door leading into other areas, this place is really starting to look like a home by he hour. Me and mark both sit down while I take time to scrub my eyes from trying to feel tired. What was the food for tonight and maybe for a couple days down the road, Wolf. Sadly.

I don’t want to eat my favourite animal and maybe pet later down the road but, there are sacrifices that are to be made such as favourite’s of a particular animal in order to survive and many other thing’s are to be sacrificed to survive.

“Here take it” merry shoved a bowl in my face “It is soup so it is not as bad as you think it is” I sigh and bring the bowl closer “Still has bits and pieces of my favourite animal” I say under my breath, I eat it and shut up for the rest of the time we were eating nothing being said, as I can understand why merry is quiet due to what was being talked about between us both what three to four hours ago? the other two I suspect are planning quietly about something.

I hate their plots to have me and merry to start dating, it was something done so often it is now just annoying, I don’t understand why they won’t let it naturally occur and not by force to have us date. I don’t know if that made any sense looking back at the words I choose to use in my head.

The silence broke when a chair creaked, I looked up to see who’s and found Jackson leaving in a slow manner like he is listening to someone talk to him and he does not want to be disturbed. I want to question further but knowing him he wouldn’t talk not one bit, what ever he and who ever else he is talking to.

Make me wonder what their talking about “Yes sir, I am currently training the boy” I hear as he passes me, was he training me all of a sudden due to an order he had received from a higher ranked person in some organisation he is in? I am getting more knowledge about him by the second even though I have known him since I was eleven or twelve maybe ten.

This is odd to find out all of sudden that he works under a crime syndicate or a rebel group operating on a world stage, this will have to be talked about later. I pocket the idea that Jackson is someone very dangerous as if the training I had done earlier today spell that out for me.

I have to get better at hiding and moving silently so that I don’t get spotted while moving to point to point, with the training but how do I do so? It feels like he has a eye looking at me always could it be that some at points during the course have different viewpoints?

I will have to sleep first and think about it during the training as the best way to grow is form being beating to the ground multiple times, even if it takes your years or so to be able to achieve that you wish to do in life, even if I have become isolated to do this.

I want to and will become a better sniper even if regrettably I have to become isolated from merry and mark in the process, sacrifices are required in this time.

Even if I need to cut out people I am close to.
