(Y/N) POV:

As we walked through the dark covered woods to the cabin, I tightened my grasp on my shoulders as I hugged myself to get some warmth from the cold. I couldn't help but glance over at Jack every few seconds, he walked a couple feet in front of me as I slowly walked behind him like a lost puppy. I felt so happy and great full that he had come and helped me, but guilt soon took over my thoughts as I thought about our situations. I felt like a burden on his shoulders and as the seconds past, the weight became more and more heaver. I couldn't help but wonder why he had done the stuff he did but I never questioned it, we had gotten at least midway to the cabin when a dim light flashed in front of me. My body tensed at the sight making me stop in my tracks, the light had been small and dimly light. My heart beating faster with every minute I stood there, the echo of Jacks footsteps soon disappeared from my thoughts as I stared at the blank space where the light had been. I soon figured out what the light had come from and loosened my tenseness as a smile grew onto my face.

The small firefly's light grew again as it hovered in front of my face, the smile on my face grew as more and more fireflies lit up from the green grassy ground by my feet. I let go of my grasp on my shoulders and slowly began to bend down to the ground, the lights kept flashing as I sat there gazing at them. My eyes lit up with the sparkle they presented themselves in the pale moon light and dark midnight sky, my focus was completely on the fireflies that I hadn't noticed that Jack had come back calling my name. When he found me he stood still and watched from beside a tree, I snapped out of my thoughts as I caught sight of him. Once he noticed that I was looking over at him, he stood straight and walked cautiously towards me.

"Beautiful, aren't they..." he spoke with a deep emotionless voice that caused my heart to stop for a split second, I took in his figure as he came closer to my form which was still on the ground on my knees.

"Y-yes, they are beautiful" I spoke up snapping out of my stare that was locked on him, he nelt down beside me and faced in front of us. I sighed and looked out above us into the starry sky, I could feel Jacks stare on me but I didn't look back I only focused on the stars above us.

"Why did you want me to kill you?" The question caught me off guard as my body tensed up and my gaze landed on Jack.

"Why ask such a question?" I tried to avoid giving an answer as I looked away from him and back at the flickering lights in front of us, I heard a slight sigh come from beside me as I felt his stare become more tense.

"There's no point in hiding it, your eyes show it anyway. I can read you like a book" he spoke out.

I couldn't help but hold my tongue at his statement, it was true. I didn't have really any reason to avoid his question and I have been told my emotions show more then my words. I bit the side of my cheek as I contemplated if I should just let it out, I don't know Jack very well at all.

Should I tell him?

Jack's POV:

Her quietness didn't help her situation at all, it just made it more obvious that she was hiding something. I wanted to know because no one has WILLINGLY wanted to die before my hands, I couldn't help but hate that she wanted to end a life that she was given and I didn't have. I stared her down as we sat there, I wasn't leaving without an answer from her and I knew I wouldn't let her leave without one either. She started to figit with her hands as she brought her knees up to her chest, she put her head down to her knees. I could hear her breathing as it became rapid and harder as she sat there, the more she waited to answer the more demanding I became.
