Kat shivered in her cage, wich was sitting in the middle of town square, wich was open and exposed to the viscious winds wiping through the night air. The iron chains around her neck, wrists, and ankles, were so cold the felt boiling hot against her skin. She kept still in her criss-cross position, her eyes fixed stubbornly ahead. She didn't regret what she did. She had to protect the forest, and she did her duty. It would take months for a new shipment of axes and knives to arrive from a big city, and even longer to build one.

"pssssst," A voice wisphered behind her. Kat ignored it. Probably just another kid come to poke her with a stick, since they knew there was nothing she could do about it. "Kat! Kitty!"

''Kitty. . . ''Kat twisted around. Of course. It was Keira. Kat cursed inwardly. Who doesn't recognze their own girlfriend's voice? Keira didn't seem to mind, though. She was holding something slim and dark, that was shining in the moonlight. A key!

"Keira?!" Kat wisphered in disbelief. Keira put a finger to her lips, signaling for Kat to be quiet. Kat obeyed. Keira inserted the key in the lock of the cage, and unlocked it with a satisfiying click. SHe entered the cage, and did the same for Kat's chains. Kat stood up, and gave Keira a quick kiss, showing her apreication. Keira smiled, and led Kat out of the cage, out of the square, out to the outskirts of her village.

She turned to Kat.

"You need to go," she said, "You can't stay. You know they will kill you." Kat felt her eyes blurr with tears.

"What about you?" she asked, her voice hoarse. Keira smiled bittersweetly.

"I can't come," she said, "I have to take care of my sister. I'm all Kelly has left, and she's too young to come. Don't worry, I'll re-plant the key in the mayor's office. No one will know. I'm sneaky like that." Kat felt tears blurr her eyes. She wanted to ask when she'd see Keira again, but she knew how Keira would answer: Never. Kat worried Keira loved her too much, so much she would sacrifice their relationship. Kat was a stubborn person, though, and she knew she'd see Keira again, someday, no matter what Keira thought.

"This is good-bye, then," Kat said. Keira looked up at her sadly.

"Yes. It is," she wisphered. There were no 'I'll always love you's, and no 'I'll remember you's Keira and Kat would both always remember, and always love, and they knew that, no words needed.

Kat gave Keira one last kiss, and then she withdrew, and walked into the woods.
