"Fainu, if that is where my heart leads me I will gladly go with you." Cree smiled and tried to put back her own thoughts. She would follow Fainu any wheres. She remembered the friendship they had and hopefully will have. In the long run, I am the only reason he is still alive. I still wish I was with him the day his parents died. Perhaps then he wouldn't have lost so much. Cree blamed herself for so much of the trouble of her friends. Between solem lips she said, "Fainu, I am to blame for you not being with your parents and for you being the way you are. To think, if I was there that day perhaps my heart would have died with you."
She looked up and coudn't keep from shedding a single tear. The others seemed to be shy and didn't want to be seen. Cree blinked back the other tears and wipped away the lonely one. She had so much to be thankful for, yet she had so much that tore her apart on the inside. "Fainu, I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me the most. I'm sorry for everything. Most of all, I'm sorry for letting you have my heart." Cree turned to see the door open and Avalon fly in. The bird always seemed majestic to her. There is only three people I could ever trust, Avalon, myself, and Fainu. He always had my heart and he will forever keep it. I can not deny him what I have long since denied myself.
