He stood up and hopped off the ledge and walked outside. He slide around to the back of the cave and pushed through some trees to where he knew there was a crystal clear pond that was great for swimming.

She followed close behind him looking around happily she smiled and looks at the water.

He grinned and jumped into the water without caring if his clothes got wet. He avoided wearing shoes when he could, so his feet were bare and the thin t-shirt and jeans he wore would dry quickly.

She giggled softly and took off her shirt and shorts her bra and underwear looked more like a swim suit she walked into the water and stood in the shallows.

Sage decided to swim around under the water for a few moments before coming back up to the surface. He thought about taking his shirt off, but it was already wet so he shrugged the thought of. Besides, he wasn't sure how Ellie would react to all the scars and he didn't want to worry her or anything.

Ellie walked into the water until it was up to her hips. her hands rested on the top of the water as she watched him smiling softly.

He found a small water bug on the water and followed it around, watching it intently. He wasn't sure why, but it was a cool looking bug so why not follow it around. When it flew away, he swam back towards Ellie, and flipped his wet hair out of his eyes. It revealed a scar on his forehead that was normally hidden by his hair.

she lowered herself into the water when she saw the scar she gently touched his forehead to get a better look " what happened?" she asked him a bit worried.

He blinked and then shrugged. "It happened when I was young. I don't really remember what happened exactly. My dad was probably drunk and hit me or something. That's the best I can figure." He chuckled dryly. "He was drunk a lot. But it was almost safer that way. Easier to run."

She kissed his forehead gently and ran her fingers through his wet hair "well you don't have to worry about that anymore" she spoke softly.
