I was glad that Will had decided to stop, it was difficult to follow them now that they had horses, but as I suspected, Will knew I was following and rode slowly. I watched carefully and mimicked Will's moves as he trained Cordell. It was so annoying they way she threw herself at him.
as it got dark, the tension between them was becoming unbearable. I listened quietly as Will told of his past. Then she grabbed him and hugged him. this felt like a stab to my heart. I didn't understand these feelings of animosity that I felt towards Cordell. I couldn't take it any longer.
I threw the paper on the ground (a few yards in front on Will) and started off into the woods. Where I was standing, only Will could've seen me, and he did.
"I uh.." he pushed away from Cordell.
"nature calls?" she asked at his urgency.
he just nodded as he watched me storming away. "be right back"
Cordell was oblivious to the whole situation.
after a good ten feet or so, Will managed to catch me by the arm.
"you're a monk, you shouldn't be ogling this woman!" I jerked his arm away and kept marching on. it's not what I meant to say, and not how I felt. I was confused, I had never felt this way towards another person. I did not want to feel this way about him, or anyone else. I wanted things back the way they were before I ever knew he existed. why was I so angry at him?

let's just say that she has a feeling of love for him, but not a romantic attraction. she hasn't felt love from anyone in a long time. her father (chief) was not the loving sort. he thought of her more as a warrior, like a son, he did not want her to be "weak."
