XXII: Iris

  I stand there Lindsey on the ground bleeding and not healing. I killed her and I have no regrets. I drop my dagger and turn to Jaxson. He drops his weapon which is basically a sword. He goes up to me and hugs me. I lay my head on his shoulder.

  “Are you okay?” he asks.

  “Yeah I'm fine,” I say as we let go of our hug.

  We walk in the forest far away from both of our camps.

  “Thanks for walking with me. When are you going to head back to your camp?” I ask

  “I'm not going back.” he quickly says. I stop walking.

  “What? Why!”

  “I’ll be honest Zak died in his sleep last night and I never really cared since we never really talked. But Jared cared a lot and has been mentally ill since. I need to get away from him before he kills me out of insanity.”

  “Oh I'm sorry,” I reply.

  “Don't be,” he grabs my hand gently. “I'd rather be with you,” I smile.

  “Let's find a new camp,” I say with some hope. I hold his hand tightly and we continue to walk on quicker than our walking pace before through the dense forest.
