But she had to wait for the bell...The bell went off. Everyone stated to dig in. Except her, she was still sniffing in the flavor."She's scared", someone said backstage. They were watching what was going on on the television.Emily looked at him. "No , she's not"."Wanna bet?", he asked." I bet $200 on Damien. Kid's got an appetite of a cow", a woman waved her stake in the air."I'm going to bet $100 on the girl with the piercings",
Joe's PoVI shook in my sleep. My spirit shot out of my body. I tried to get back into it, but i kept felling out. "Can't sleep?", Master Damien asked.I went over to where he sat on a rock,reading a book."Why are we here?""Your training"."You knew that I didn't leave. And you didn't chase me away"."Dietri. She might be weak when it comes to power levels, but she's got a good eye. It's why I made her head of the academy", he replied. "And Eida has a soft spot for you", he added I kept quiet. There were people in the world who cared about me. Wanted the best for me. Loved me. 'Why didn't I cross paths with them sooner?', I thought."I've never seen her show affection for anyone, not in the last century. Her clan got wiped out"."Wiped out?""By Demon Hunters. Her brother was the leader ,then he got beheaded. She had to lead them. She couldn't have known that they had a traitor who wanted his own clan wiped out so bad he sold them out"."He's a monster", I said. "He was her betro

"Thank you for not giving up on me", he said gratefully.She pat his back. "You're choking me ", she said.He let her go."You're not supposed to hug a teenager so provocaticely", she joked."But you're not a teenager", he said.She looked at his house."Nice house", she commented."Yeah.

She was leaving."Say.
Emily's POVCountrysideWe walked down the road. "I'm supposed to be at break", Jordan complained. He held up a mystical fang-shaped artifact suspended from a rope. He entered into the bushes."What's that thing anyway?", I asked."Animal totem. All you have to do is to think about the creature, and the totem would lead you to it"."It's a she", I said angrily."Woah. I'm sorry", he apologised."Why does it have to be you who has to think of Sly?", Aubrey said jealously."Because I'm the only one with any magical ability. And now, great I've lost her".We stood, in the middle of nowhere. Aubrey had sat on the floor and Jordan was marking symbols into the ground.I looked at them. They weren't worried as much as I am. I was an idiot. Sly should have been my priority."Give me the totem", I asked."It's not going to work..".I grabbed it from his hands, and wore it on my neck like a necklace.I suddenly felt my sense of smell growing stronger. I nearly puked- my sense if smell had incr

Joe's POV The City, in a storeI remember telling myself not to spend too much. Turns out I never follow any of my personal rules.I got a new haircut , three new suits and a shoe. 'Wasn't too much', I told myself. I was going to be the new HRM in a few hours. The hope I gave myself.I headed out of the store, the late night cool breeze giving me a rejuvenating feeling. I looked across the street. Couples held themselves close to each other. I shook my head. Could have been me and Emily. But we just had to go out separate ways. I remembered my dream and hoped after she married, she had left the City. I didn't want to meet with her anymore. Might help me move on.I took a corner. My house was just up ahead.I entered the house. I remember switching off the lights of the sitting room but now they were on. Did I? I switched them off and went to my bedroom. I lay on my bed, putting my shopping on the ground below me.A scent wafted through my dark room. 'What smelt so good?', I thought.
Narrator's POVThe City, Joe's HouseJoe lay on the bed, ,close to a fast asleep Emily. He fought the urge to hold her, kiss her. So he played with her hair. Her beautiful brown hair which had always intrigued him. The more he thought about Dennis' words, the more they made sense to him. He'd just seen her body for the first time since he'd known her.
