Adrian: *His throat burns again and he's suddenly very dizzy and tired. He lays down* Maybe I just need some sleep...everything will be...fine... - ''Blood. There's blood everywhere. He sits there, covered in blood, cuts and burns. As he realizes what he's done, a tear slides down his cheek. Reality sets in and starts to sob. He hears footsteps, they stop in front of him. He's scared, but he looks up. There's a young girl of about the age 10-12. Her long brown hair drapes in face, sheltering her. "What's your name?" He's stunned, she doesn't ask why he's covered in blood, cut and burnt, or why his eyes are completely black. She simply asks what his name is. "A-Adrian..." She sits beside him and he finds himself once again, stunned. He doesn't want her to be scared of him... As if she read his mind, she says "Don't worry. I'm not scared of you. I already know what happened." He's shocked once again but can sense something about her...she's hurt. Physically and emotionally. He knows it's wrong, but he wants- no, has to know why. He looks into her eyes, into her mind, her soul, into her'' heart. ''He gasps and jumps back. "You-you..." She looks down, her hair falling like a vial, protecting her from looking at him. "It was an accident..! I-I didn't mean for it to happen!" He's scared for a moment, then thinks, she just doesn't know how to control it yet... "You know you really shouldn't look into someone's feelings. You may find something you hadn't desired to see." He nods silently, accepting her advice. "What....what's your name?" He asks, trying to change to subject. "......I would prefer being called Ember." She replies. He wants to know her real name, but is now too scared to try to find out. "Ember....that's a really pretty name for a really pretty girl." He brushes her hair away and she giggles. He gasps, he knows that laugh! He heard it before, she, she was the one who was suppose to help him! She was the Princess! "You! You're the Princess, aren't you?!" She looks down. "Yes...The Princess of a'' fallen kingdom." ''He grabs her hands and looks into her eyes. "You're the Princess who's suppose to help me! You're my Princess!" "No...I'm not I can't help anyone, not even myself..." She says sadly. His hands suddenly feel...weird. He looks down and the cuts and burns are healing, it's because he's touching her... "Look! You are! You're healing me!" She shakes her head. "What would it take? What would I have to do?" He thinks for a moment, then says, "What do you'' want?" She thinks then says, "I was always suppose to be strong and never be a kid. Not really anyway. I would actually, just like to be innocent again...just be a kid..." ''She buries her face in her knees and he can tell she's trying not to cry, which she is obviously in need of. He thinks for a moment, then gets an idea. "Do you want to play a game?" It's what ALL kids do, it would have to work, yet...she doesn't reply. He suddenly 'tags' her. "Tag! You're it!" She just looks at him, confused. For a moment, he's worried she doesn't know how to play. He tags her again. "Tag! You're it!" She just sits there. "I...haven't played in a long time...I only run when it's for or away from something...When I need to...get away..." She stands up. "Then you have to play now!" "But..." "No! No buts! You said you wanted to be a kid again. No one's going to stop you now." "But...what if they see..." "I won't let anyone stop or hurt you. I promise." A small smile spreads across her face and he runs away as she begins to chase him.'' - Mallory: Adrian? Adrian? Adrian? Adrian?

Adrian: Uhhh...what?

Mallory: Where's Ember?

Adrian: *He suddenly sits up* Wait, what? Huh? What's going on?

Mallory: I was looking for Ember and I thought you would know where she is...

Adrian: What do you mean? You don't know where she is? Did she leave?

Mallory: I don't know...What happened to your throat?

Adrian: OH! N-nothing! *Grabs the scarf and puts it on* Nothing. It's fine!

Mallory: *Looks down* Okay...
