"Well, why don't we?" Huntr said sitting up. "We are both immortal now. I swore to be with you forever. Why not make it offical?"

lilly coughed on her sandwich " what hunter i was only joking i dont want to make it seem like i am forcing you ?" lilly toke a deep breath

"Lilly, you wouldn'tbe forceing me. This is something I want to do." Hunter pulled a ring out of his pocket. "This beonged to my mother, and now I want you to have it."

tears began to come down lilly's eyes " i dont know what to say i mean.." lilly face turned red as she began to cry even more

"Its alright. Just say what your heart feels."

lilly told the truth " i do not know i am scared i do not know what my mother will think i do not know what my father will say or do but to be honest i do not care as long as i am with you so umm.......................yes if you do not mind that is i will marry you now and how ever many more times you want in the future " lilly year were full of tears

Hunter reached over and hugged her "You have made me so happy!" Hunter placed the ring on Lilly's finger. "By the spirit of the forest, I now pronouce us married." Hunter kissed his bride.

lilly smiled " hunter not so fast we are getting married human style........is that okay with you?"

Hunter closed his eyes and nodded. "Human style it is. But will you please wear the ring until then?"

lilly smiled " yes of course i will i do not know how i am going to tell my parents i am scared to"

"Then your parents won't have to know. If they ask, just say its a regular piece of jewelry. It'll be our secret." Hunter smiled and kissed her.

lilly became a bit sad " but i want them to know hunter they have the right to don't you think?"

"You said that your parents were constantly leaving you, and that you didn't care what they thought. ut if you want to tell them, then I will support you."

lilly began to cry " i wish they wouldn't leave me i wish they were home more i wish they cared about me more than they do about there money why did they have me if they don't love me? i guess i am just a waste of there time "

Hunter looked Lilly in the eye. "Don't ever call yourself that. You are the most important person in the world to me." Hunter said, holding her face.

" i also want to be the most important person to the people who gave me life "lilly closed her eyes " i want a true mother and father"

Hunter put his head against hers. "I don't know how to give you that, but I have some idea."

lilly dried her eyes " there is nothing you can do or i its up to them to give a crap about me"

"Then why don't we run away. Start a life of our own. Leave the horrors of the past behined us."

"i like to face my fears hunter i dont run from problems i imbrace them " lilly laid her head on hunter's shoulder

"Then let me come with you when you do. I will support you. I will be your rock." Hunter put his arm around Lily's shoulder.

lilly smiled " thank you by the way i hope you know i am not going to marry until after i finish school"

"Of course" Hunter held Lilly's hands and smiled.

lilly smiled back with joy in her eyes " so what else did you make to eat on this trip in the lovely forest"

"I made some chocolate chip cookies." Hunter took out a plate of them and handed one to Lilly.
