Forever Isn't Always

Chapter 11

‘’Here,wear this'' John said tossing me a pair of clothes and then leaving the room. To my surprise, it was the clothes I wore on the day I was to meet him.

I came out of the room after I got ready. I had worn the clothes, boots and tied my hair up in a ponytail. John was already waiting in the living room.

‘’Are you ready?'' John asked me. 

‘’Yeah'' I said  Then he passed me a backpack.

‘’Jasmine packed the backpack, she said everything you'd need is in it'' he said

‘’Do I get to say goodbye?'' I asked

‘’ She's asleep but you'll see her again'' he said and smiled.

‘’so are you ready to leave?'' he added. 

‘’Yeah,sure'' I said

As we stepped out, a morning breeze hit me and I closed my eyes just to get the feel of it. 

‘’Are you meditating or what? We nedd to get going'' John said. He had gone forward and was looking back at me. I opened my eyes and glared at him. 

‘’You know what…I liked you better in my dreams when you didn't talk'' I replied

He grinned and said ‘’Just try to keep up''

 I ran to get in pace with him. I looked around as we walked. It was a really huge forest, The sun came in slits into the forest. I could hear the birds chirping and regularly saw squirells passing and climbing trees.

‘’Are you related to Jasmine?'' I asked

‘’No, we only cross pass when we have business to take care of'' 

‘’So what are you? A prince or something''

‘’Nah..I'm just a very high up warrior and a lord'' That was pretty high up. The highest 

‘’You know my father?'' I asked

‘’Yeah, I do. I won't be where I am today if not for him. My parents died when I was little but the king raised and took care of me like his own son.  The king is a good man Clara…you're lucky to have him''

‘’I'm sorry about your parents, I didn't know. I shouldn't have asked.'' I said and I meant it. But it was good that I had been given a good impression of my father.

‘’It's ok. It's been a long time anyway'' He said and smiled at me.
