I was suddenly walking in a tunnel. It was so dark inside but there was light coming from the end, it thought there were people there so i started moving towards.

'IVY!' I Turned around to the familiar voice.

'Trijan?!' I called back 'is that you ?'

'Yes ! please come back'

'But I can't see' I told him, it was completely dark.

'Look again' I peered  and I could gradually make him out of the darkness and he was approaching me.'I was scared I thought I lost you please dont  go'

'I won't ' i said as he pulled me in for a hug and then released me.

'I love you ivy' he said

'I love you too" then we kissed.

When I opened my eyes, Trijan's lips were sealed in mine. I felt a sudden jolt of electricity shocked my back to life. Trijan's eyes stared in mine, a sudden bliss filled me. This must be how Snow white and Sleeping beauty felt but my bliss was cut short as gulps of water came out my mouth in fits of coughs. His hands glided through my back as he cooed me to relax.

"It's ok. Thank GOD you are alive" he said as I relaxed "Are you ok?". I nodded as my throat relaxed.

He hugged me. His arms encircled me as his cold wet skin rubbed mine. I was still for a moment, if only he knew what was happening in my body as his touched me. I hugged him back inhaling his wet scent. "Thank you" he whispered to my ear lobes "you saved my life"

"And you saved mine" I whispered back before we pulled away almost reluctantly. I looked around, we were in a very different environment. The waterfall wasn't far away as I could see it spill into the stream in front of us. we were surrounded by trees. "Where are we?"

"I hate to say this but I don't know" he looked away, hiding the disappointment on his face. I know he didn't like being helpless and somehow unintelligent, that was why he always read about everywhere we were going too.

For a few minutes, we sat there trying to navigate our whereabouts but we be no luck. We tried screaming 'HELP' but our voices turned sore

"I think we should move around a bit" he looked at me looking exhausted and pale "we might be lucky and get help".

He helped me get up and we moved inside the forest. The tree branches formed canopies and shielded our heads from the scorching sun.   The forest was dim but we were able to move on the shrubs, mushrooms and tree roots. I didn't know how long we had walked before I got tired. The bushes seemed not to end, i was getting nauseous  from all the green and damp smell.

After a long endless walk, we saw smoke. The bushes had been cleared and it seemed to be coming from an open area. Trijan put me on his back after I paused for the 4th time.

"We are almost there" he whispered more like an encouragement to himself than me because I was famished. The smoke was coming from a small cabin. It was made of chopped logs of wood and there was no electricity. As we got closer, he sat me on the floor with my back resting on the wall of the cabin. He knocked but no one answered then he pushed the door open. He went in and after a moment he came out back.

"Ivy there's no one in there" he said as he lifted me and went in. The cabin had an orange flow from the candle sticks lit on a table. Sheered leopard skin sat in the middle of the cabin and a thin mattress at the end. I was laid there. I couldn't figure out what the clanking of glasses and movement was about.

"Here" Trijan tilted my head forward "drink water". I opened my mouth and let the cool liquid flow through my mouth down my throat, refreshing me. I gulped another one down and soon got an ounce of strength.

Water is good.

He laid me back gently as I regained my strength. The cabin was pretty empty. Just a few hunting tools,a stack of clothes by the right and of the  cabin. A rough wide table I thought was the owner's dinning table.
"What are you doing?" I asked Trijan when I heard puffing sounds and slight exploding sounds.

"I'm making eggs and fish" Trijan replied "you need something to eat and whenever the owner comes. I would pay him back.

"You think it's a him?" I asked curious.

"Well the shallow interior design and quick food suggests so" he replied as he scrambled the eggs.

He brought them on a plate to the bed where I sat up. I wanted to collect the plate from him but he stopped me "don't worry I would feed you". I didn't object, nope the teen in me agreed without any obstruction.

He scooped the eggs and put it in my mouth. When his fingers grazed my lips, my lips shuddered. One moment I trapped his fingers in my mouth, his eyes locked mine and I sucked them slightly.

"What are you going to eat? " I asked

"I'm not really hungry"

"You are joking" I dragged the plate from him, took a little in my fingers "open your mouth"

He shook his head but I pressed him till he finally agreed and ate" Thanks"

"Thank you too" I replied when he was done. I moved to drop the plate in the sink. It was the only metal thing in the cabin. I cleaned the plate of the oil and washed my hands, Trijan did too. When he stood up, the cabin felt a little to small for both of Us. I was sweating when he stood behind me to wash his hand.

We sat in silence for a while before I drifted from consciousness to dreamland.
