"I...I'm sorry," she said, looking down.
"I can't. I can't do this!" she shouted, standing up, running out of the kitchen.

 

He got up and ran after her. "What is it? What's wrong? Is it me? Was it something I said? Something I did?"

 

She continued to run. She ran outside and into the forest. She wanted to be alone.

 

He continued to run after her until he tripped and twisted his ankle.

 

Natalie sensed something wrong. She turned around and used her mind to find out what happened.
"No," she said seeing what she did. She ran back to Sean... She fell to her knees beside him and kissed his cheek.
"I'm sorry Sean," she said then hugged him.

 

"It's not your fault." he said, trying to get up. His ankle hurt and he fell back down.

 

"Yes it is," she said, her eyes filing up in tears. She put her hand on his cheek.
"You may have broken it," she said

 

"I'll be fine, it's just a little pain." he said, wiping away her tears. "What I want to know is why you ran away from me. Did I do or say something wrong?"

 

She let out a few quiet sobs.
"When you put both your hands on my cheeks and kissed me, it reminded me of Seph," she said.

 

"I see. I'm sorry." he said, looking at the ground.

 

She put her finger under his chin and tilted his face to hers.
"You shouldn't be sorry," she said then kissed his lips quickly. She then stood up, helped him up and put his arm around her shoulder.
"We better get you to the infirmary," she said.

 

"Thanks." he said. With her help, he limped towards the infirmary.

 

Once they reached the infirmary, she looked through a cabinet and found a sort of medication that was secretive.
"This was my fathers recipe," she said, sadness in her voice. She gave it to him.
"It mends broken bones. You'll be better in an hour" she said

 

"I don't think it's broken, just twisted." he said.

 

"It works the same. It'll repair anything injured to the muscle or bone," she said.

 

"Okay." he said, taking the medicine.

 

She sighed and looked down.
"Sean.. I need to be alone for a few minutes. I think I might go get some herbs by the river, and clear my thoughts," she said.

 

"Okay." he said with a sigh, "I'll be here when you get back."

 

She walked over to a closet and got out a pair of crutches.
"Here.. So you won't have to stay in this room all day," she said, then walked out the door heading outside.

 

He decided to walk around for a bit to get used to the crutches.
