“What are you doing here?” asked Eric. Startled, Ruby let out a scream. Looking at him with shocking eyes, Ruby said, “You scared me.”Eric stared at her. He was admiring her beautiful look and her gorgeous body. His thoughts was telling him to take her by the waist and pin her down on the ground. As he is on top of her, strip off all of her clothes and make love to her while they were alone. His manhood leap in joy. She is his fiancée, so he have every right to touch her. "What are you doing?" asked Eric walking closer to her. "It was getting hot, so I was just trying to cool off by taking off my-my coat," replied Ruby. She pulled her clothes to cover herself. Eric nearly smiled as he admired her trying to cover herself. Ruby looked up at him as he was still staring at her. Keeping a straight face he said, “Why are you here?”“I’m picking up herbs.”“You know herbs as well?”“Yes. I did grow up in the mountain, so it’s common for me to know.”Eric didn’t reply.Ruby handed him h

Eric watched as she went to her tent. He thought, "So you like to read huh? I never knew that. How interesting." He too was exhausted from the long day, so he also left for his tent. As he lay awake in his bed, he couldn't help but remember seeing how excited she was when she told the story. Smiling, he thought about her and fell asleep. As the third week rolled around, the talk of the enemy attacking them started to heat up the army.Inside Eric’s tent, his commanders and him were discussing military strategy.Zachery said, “Eric we must find a way to penetrate their lair. Or else we won’t be able to win this war.”“I keep on trying to think of a way to get the Secret Map, but I just couldn't figure out how to get it. If we can get it, we can turn this war around.”"What's the truth behind this Secret map?" asked John."The Secret Map tells us of all the mountain, hidden terrain, caves, and secret passages. Basically, it's the ins and outs of the Cursed Land. So, if we obtained it,

...From that very moment he met her again he fell head over heels for her. He was constantly looking for her. His eyes would peek at her. He would secretly glance at her to get a glimpse of her. He would follow her around without him knowing it. His ears would listen for her voice in the mass crowd. He wanted to be close to her. Finding any possible way to be near her. Eric was slowly losing his mind over this woman. She have grown on him. Poisoning his mind, making a hole in his heart, and now his heart wavers whenever he sees her.He wanted to ask her, "You lived on the Forbidden Mountain all by yourself this whole entire time, were you scared? Was there anyone with you when you're alone? Did you feel safe in that big eerie mountain? Was life hard?” Eric shook his head of nonsense. Even if he asked her she wouldn't tell him. He treated her like trash in the past. So, what reasons would she have to tell him. Hell, even now she doesn't talk to him. “What’s wrong Eric?” asked Kevin. “Y

Ruby bowed to the crowd. With that she disappeared with the ringmaster behind the stage. The four of them were worried, but Ruby gave them a hand signal before leaving that she was okay.Shortly afterward the competition came to an end. The performers and audience started to dissipate."Look," said John pointing at Ruby.They all saw her and followed her closely as she was coming out from backstage. "Zachery put a bug on her," said Eric.Zachery nodded. He spoke to one of his bugs and it flew over to Ruby and landed on her shoulder. Ruby noticed the bug but didn't flinch. Instead, she remained calm and continued walking towards a carriage."We got her on a tracker now, we'll know if anything happens," said Eric."Hopefully she stays safe," said Kevin."If she is in any danger the bug will explode and it will send a signal to us," said Zachery. "Good. We'll know the moment she needs help," said Eric trying to look calm. They watched as Ruby's carriage made a stop at the stadium. In

They ran hand in hand from the burning stage. Eric was happy that he found a reason to be close to her. To hold her. To be with her. He rescued her and for that he had to hold her hands. Her hands were soft and warm just the way he thought they would be. They ran hand in hand from the burning stage. Eric was happy that he rescued her. For rescuing her he gets to be close to her. To hold her hand. Her hands were soft and warm just the way he thought they would be. They came to a stop as they were near the corridor. “Where is John?” asked Ruby, catching her breath. Eric frowned and pulled her into his embrace.Ruby was caught off guard and gasped at his sudden eagerness. "Ah!" “You dare talk about other men in front of me?" question Eric with jealousy in his eyes. “What?”"Don't talk about other men when you’re with me?”"Huh?"“You heard me,” said Eric pulling her closer until their lips nearly touched. Ruby was shocked at Eric’s actions. He was acting strange. It’s as if he’s j
