Jenny's POV

It's been weeks since I fought with Peter and I've been working on my magic everyday, all day. I've not only practiced with magic but I perfect my sword, dagger, and bow and arrow skills.

As for Peter and I, we've never been better. If anything these past few weeks have brought us closer together, as a couple. Yes, he officially asked me to be his and why the hell would I say no? It's basically common sense to say yes!

I throw a punch at Felix and it lands right on his jaw. He shakes it off and swings at me which I easily dodge. He depends on his strength, he is slow, and his moves are predictable. Tsk tsk.

I swing my leg around and kick him in the chest, knocking him off his feet and on to his back. I straddle his waist and hold a dagger to his neck in seconds right after he fell.

"Damn, Jen the third time this week." Felix said putting his hands up in surrender.

I hop off of him and help him up, dusting myself off.

"You've been a lot better these past few weeks, that's as far as I'm complimenting you so you might as well take it." He mumbles with a stoic expression.

"Haha thanks Felix." I chuckle, rolling my eyes.

I've felt my improvement too, I feel all my magical energy becoming more powerful. It felt so great but at the same time scary. I want to do great things with my powers but at the same time, I can't help but let... Dark thoughts cloud my head for a few seconds.

But I guess it's nothing to worry about, maybe hormones? I'm not sure, it's not something to backflip over.

"Jenny! It's time to practice!" Peter called from across the camp. I bid goodbye to Felix and jog up to Peter, giving him a kiss.

"I meant practice magic, not kissing. Not like I would mind." He smirked. Little rascal.

We arrive to our usual practice clearing for magic.

"Okay let's start off by using the right attacks at the right time when you're in a battle." Peter instructs as he slowly walks around me in a full circle, stopping in front of me.

"Now let's get started shall we?"

After two hours of relentless battling with Peter, I got the hang of it and it felt like a second nature to me. It felt right, I felt like I empowered myself.

"Okay time to rest." Peter breathes out slightly, his hairline lining with drops of sweat. If he's just starting to sweat, then I must be drenched.

"Can we go back to camp now, I'm tired." I said breathlessly, sitting on the floor. He chuckled then shook his head yes.

He started to walk away but stopped realizing I wasn't following suit. He turned his head back with an eyebrow raised.

"You're going to have to carry me, you wore me out." I say lazily, putting my arms up waiting for him.

He scoops me up in his arms and resumed the route back to camp.

"I have other ways of tiring you out and not able to walk." He gives me a seductive smirk. Lord, give me strength.

I hit his chest. "Oh shush."

Peter's POV

On the way to camp, Jenny ended up falling asleep. Wow, I did tire her out.

I carry her to my tent and, gently as possible, lay her on my– our bed. I watched her sleep for a few minutes, listening to her soft snores. She's so beautiful even when she's sleeping.
