Chapter 17

*Oneye*

I walked away from the house. It hurt to leave, but who was I kidding? I'd never see her again! I just couldn't get her out of my mind. It was hard.

I could just picture her in that First Nations clothes. Beautiful, authentic, genuine; but most of all different. The good different.

Sometimes, I thought about what would happen if we ever became a couple. Even though I knew it wasn't possible. Could it?

I just kept walking, and I left, soon, I'd be out and gone for good even though I don't want to be. All I knew was that I had other duties. Duties that my family gives me, and I don't have a choice. This was the one time I was allowed to drop everything. It was only because I swore.

Where I come from, to break a promise is bad luck. So they made sure I did it. I want so bad to turn around, tell her I want to stay with her, but I can't.

I knew it would be a long journey until I got home, so I decided to take a long way, the one that passed the secret chamber.

As I walked towards the mountain with the chamber. I sat beside it, leaning on the rocks. I just didn't feel like myself anymore. There was no one to talk to, and I'd gotten used to it. Now I had to get used to being a loner.

I fought the urge to run back and tell her I needed her. Instead, I headed inside the chamber and got ready for a long night rest.
