"I don't trust my heart anymore. Not after what happened to Variana. Now can you please just leave?"

Jem awoke from his dream, when he jumped off a ledge trying to reach Variana. He jumped down from the tree, heading back to their camp. Astrid should have cooled down by now.

Jack said nothing. Astrid looked at him to see what was wrong and found that he was staring right at her, close.

Jem sat down by the fire. He figured he'd wait till Astrid came back. She'd come back… right?

"Why are you staring at me?"
"Am I not allowed to stare at the most beautiful woman I've ever seen?" Astrid blushed and jumped down.
"I should get back and apologise to Jem."

Jem looked around, hoping Astrid would cone back soon. He needed to apologise. He also hoped 'Jack' wouldn't come back. Even if it really was Jack, he still didn't trust him.

"Wait," Jack said, grabbing Astrid's hand. She tried to wrench it away but hid grip was stronger than hers.

(Lordy if Jem ways there
Jack is crossing the line)
Jem decided to go look for Astrid, getting anxious being by himself. He heard Jack's voice, and followed it, drawing nearer.

"Please let me go Jack."
"But, if I let you go, you'd disappear again."
"Me disappear? You're the one who disappeared!"

Jem heard Astrid's voice this time, leading him to a scene he didn't like. "Get your filthy hands off my sister." Jem said fiercely, squaring Jack up. "If I see you touch her again you'll be eating your stomach for dinner." He growled.

Astrid watched the two men. She knew that her brother was trying to help, but if he'd never come she might have gotten something out of Jack.

Jem glanced at Astrid. "I'm sorry sis." He said, looking down. "For yelling." He reached to grab her hand, then grimaced, instead holding it out to her, glaring at Jack.

Astrid didn't take his hand. "You might be my big brother Jem, but you need to trust me more."

Jem shifted uncomfortably, trying to control his temper. He turned around, staring at the ground. "Alright, have fun with your long lost boyfriend then." He said ruffly, walking back towards camp.

"We never dated!" Astrid called after Jem.
"But we could," Jack said from behind Astrid. She turned and stared at him.
"I'm sorry what?"

Jem spun around. "Esqueeze me?" He said, habit kicking in. "I mean—excuse me?" He turned back around hurriedly. "Never mind, not my business."

"I mean, I kinda had a crush on you when we met. That's why I stuck around. And it was kinda obvious that you liked me too."

"Yeah never mind, I'm staying for this. Carry on." He said, turning around again, plopping down on the ground criss cross.

Astrid blushed. "I….what…..You….."

"Oooo what next?" Jem whispered 'excitedly', resting his head on his hand. "Please, continue."

Astrid shot a jet of ice that covered Jem's mouth, glaring at him. When she turned around she was surprised by Jack suddenly kissing her.

Jem's eyes widened when Astrid covered his mouth, and growled when Jack kissed Astrid. He moved to get up and get Jack of his sister, but hesitated.

Astrid hesitated for a few seconds, then found herself leaning into the kiss.
