The sun is about to set. The sunset reminds me of Sam. It looks so beautiful and bright and colorful before it's gone. Remembering him was hard but forgetting him was way more difficult. "SAM!" I hold my hand to my chest and I look away from the blonde in front of me. My heart was racing now more than ever because I was about to tell him something I wasn't ever going to tell him At the same place where we first met. My hands feel sweaty. His face stays the same, despite my panicked figure. "I like you!" I say the words that I have been avoiding. The word that describes what I’ve been feeling for mouths but He doesn't look all too surprised

It starts raining. A clash of thunder made me flinch or was it what he said? “I am sorry.” My hair was damp. I watched as he turned around and walked away. Something shifted inside me. I wish I said something to stop him. Anything because that was the last time I saw him in years. For years I went to that same spot where he left me crying.

For most people it's history but for me, whenever I close my eyes it all comes back clearly. The flames, the feeling of water flowing into my lungs. The feeling of tears on my face. Somehow I wasn't mad at them for what they did but I knew deep down that I would never be that me again. It's hard to let go of the past even more difficult to hold a grudge knowing it would only hurt me in the end. More than anything I hate the past that I can't even change.

She could hear the heavy thud of her own boot steps. I walked into the hospital room. I look at the poor guy a shot. I sat down on the bed next to him. The nurse walked up to me telling me he was going to be fine. I hear another set of footsteps. I turned around to see the red head. "You know he Underestimated you. That's why he lost." I look back at him slightly regretting pulling the trigger. "He didn't think you would have the guts to shoot." I slightly raised my eyebrows. "Oh so you're saying he is not a complete psycho who wanted to get shot at?" My voice was Laced with sarcasm. He ignored my comment. "I won the first round because of you. You weaken my opponent." I rolled my eyes. "He shouldn't have tried to take my weapon. I wasn't trying to help." "But still you did. Even if you didn't mean to help me, thanks." I glare at him a bit before standing up. "You didn't even win. You only got a few gold coins." His fists were white from clenching them so hard. "Don't worry, sweetheart. That's all I needed." The nickname slightly pissed me off considering I barely know the guy.

"Don't call me sweetheart." I push past him and I walk to my carriage.

I sit in a very uncomfortable chair. The boat sways back and forth. I look at the white-haired woman in front of me. "I don't know why you couldn't kill her yourself." The captain of the wooden ship says while putting out her cigarettes. "I don't want to get my hands dirty. Do You think I wanted to kill my sister? She knew too much." my sister is dead, and now almost nothing is in my way. "Aw, sweet baby brother didn't want to put her out of her misery himself. It's too bad you don't have the guts to do anything. You're such a wimp for someone who wants to rule a kingdom. " she is as cruel as she is pretty. "Satori, you don't get to call me a wimp after you bolted and vanished from everything." The one I loved looked at me with such contempt. Her scowl pierced my heart.  "I did what I had to do to feel free for once in my life. My mother was always controlling. Telling me what to do." I can't take this anymore. "So the lady of steel couldn't take a few orders from her mother?" She stood up and slammed her hands on the desk. Her hair covered her face and The room was engulfed with cigarette smoke. "You know it was much more than that. "  her words a mere whisper. Did I cross the line? I know her situation isn't something to joke about but she looks like she is going to let one of her men throw me overboard next.

His voice made me think back to the day first met. The day we first met was the day my mother was buried. To be exact I was nine. The body didn't look like my mother. I couldn't understand why no one was crying when I couldn't even sit through the ceremony then when I glanced at my dad my heart shattered when I saw he wasn’t even frowning. Some were good friends with my mom and those people were reading. The sight made me sick. Did they not care? I don’t even know how she died.

So I ran, I pushed open the church door not looking back. Not knowing where I was going Or where I was. Just running from reality. I sat down on a log and let it all fall, my tears, my shoulders, my smile. "What are you doing?" I sniffle up my snot. I wiped the tears from my face so I could see better.! " You're crying?” I nodded."I saw something pretty on my way here. Can I show you?"I fiddle with the handkerchief in my hand. “Um, sure.”He took me deeper into the woods holding my hand "Look, we are here." A waterfall. The sound of the rushing water was soothing, My lips Parted, and my eyes widened. I take my shoes off and step into the freezing water lifting my dress. A laughing Escaped my mouth. The fresh aroma of the waterfall made me feel slightly better I splashed him with water. The sky was a light pink hue I looked next to me and I noticed his eyes for the first time. They were different colors.

The red hood fit perfectly. It didn't touch the floor, which was a good thing. _The market was on fire _ The little girl's hand held onto mine tight. I look at the poster on the wall And it says in big bold words "Knightly tournament" I take the poster and stuff it in my pocket. _I hear a high-pitched squealing pierced the loud and noisy market, come from right next to me. _ I see Amara pointing at something. A dog, not just any dog a Doberman And a stray. __ "Can we keep her?" she asked her nanny. "You will have to ask your father about that." "I want him." "She is a nasty stray. You could get sick." She crossed her arms. "Nauh! Besides, he would make a good surveillance dog." "She is just a puppy." Then I saw someone from the corner of my eye. My eyes make contact with his heterochromia eyes. "Sam?!" __ _ pushing through the crowd i race down the dark alley. I started sprinting down the alley but he is too far ahead. Reaching out my hand I grabbed his arm almost missing and he turned and looked at me. _ _My breathing came to short gasps but I look him in the eyes. I wonder if this was the same guy I knew and loved when I was a kid. _ _I take a deep breath. _ "Samuel, where have you been?" He was wearing armor, was he a knight of Zodel? _"Do I know you?" _ As I stared into the eyes of the person I once loved, every ounce of my affection melted into suspicion… _"We met Over 5 years ago? You disappeared! Is this where you have been all this time Sam?" _ "5 years ago? We should talk about this some other time. " He tried to walk away and I let him As soon as I heard Amara shout.
