Book 1: Chapter 17 - Facing Danger.

   "Good morning," Jake smiles, walking over to me whilst holding a tray one handed. The smell of pancakes floats through the air and my stomach grumbles loudly.

   "Morning, what time is it?" I smile back, running a hand through my hair. We didn't get home until late last night, the sun was beginning to rise just as I was drifting off.

   "It's two in the afternoon," Jake chuckles, sitting down onto the empty side of my bed.

   "Seriously? Wow," I respond, happiness filling my stomach as I think back to last night. The beauty of the night and Jake. I grin at him and sit up, propping myself up on the pillows behind me. A dull pain flares up my side and I close my eyes, breathing through it. I wish it would hurry up and heal.

   "Are you still in pain?" Jake asks me, a worried expression plastered across his face. I shake my head, shrugging it off.
