PART 4

    Pocahontas slowly made her way to John. When she finally reached his side, he put his arms around her and gave her a hug. She sighed because for once, in a long time she liked hugging John, only because her imagination let her think it was John Smith.
    “I can see that you’re worrying about something.” John finally spoke.
    “That is true.” Pocahontas agreed.
    “Let’s go for a walk.” John said.
    He wanted to get away. Maybe if they were alone, she would be willing to open up to him again. It had been so long since they had made a real connection. Pocahontas tried to stay as far from John as she could without making it obvious that she wanted to get away from him. John reached for her hand, but she pulled away.
    “Pocahontas,” John started. “I know we’ve been having problems, but we just need to work on them. We love each other.”
    “Yes,” Pocahontas awkwardly smiled. “I love you John.”
    In that moment that she spoke those four words, she realized that she was saying it to the wrong John. She wanted to speak those four words to John Smith more than anyone else. John was satisfied though. He believed Pocahontas and kissed her.
    “This kiss,” Pocahontas thought. “It’s nothing like the kiss of John Smith. He kissed me with such passion and love.”
    She pulled away from John and smiled. He truly believed that they were in love with each other, but he was only half right.
    “I need to be alone,” Pocahontas said.
    She walked away from John and when he called her back, she began to run. She ran far from him, not knowing where she was going, but she was getting away. She stopped running when she was far enough away. Once again she heard the pitter patter of footsteps. Coming from the distance were Meeko and Flit.
    Pocahontas smiled at her friends than Meeko did something he had done before. In his hand was a compass, and he handed it to Pocahontas.
    “You still have this?” Pocahontas smiled. “It’s John’s compass.”
    Looking at the compass, she knew at once what her heart and what Meeko was telling her to do.
    “I have to find him.” She realized. “Tomorrow.”
