[jacob w.c.]

It was time. It hadn't felt like too long ago when Jacob had been left with his Pa, then when he'd seen flames lick the sky as he was rushed out, then when he took sanctuary with his 'big brother', Jerseyboy. However, the time had come for the two to leave the city. At first, it had been a lot of aimless wandering but then they heard of some groups being formed nearby. Jacob wasn't too sure about how Jersey felt, but he missed being with other people. He loved Jersey but he wanted to have a few friends again, maybe even some family and, considering Jersey had agreed to come with him, it seemed like he felt the same way. Not to mention the fact Jacob still had trouble with... undesirable individuals seeking him out. He kept his first name, it was general enough and no one seemed to think much of it, but he'd long since stopped sharing the two names that connected him to his past families. It caused too much trouble and meant very little to people that didn't know where he came from. The only people that'd know those names from this far away would only be the type looking for trouble and Jacob wasn't interested in that. So, he stayed with Jersey and he was overjoyed his brother had agreed to come with him.

However, he was not as joyous about the fact he'd had to carry the wagon almost the entire way. Over half the stuff in here had to be Jersey's, he was sure of it. "Couldn't ya' 'ave carried this for even a li'l bit? 'M bigger but this is heavy n' my paws hurt," the boy complained. It felt like he'd been walking forever. They had to be getting close. "You're lucky, 'ere's the border. I woulda' made ya' start draggin' this thing." That was a lie. Jacob wouldn't have made Jersey do anything. For all his complaining, he didn't exactly have the courage to force Jersey to do anything. He settled down at the border with a sigh, happy to finally let his legs rest.
