"Gavin!" I shout worriedly as I throw on the t-shirt he gave me. He turns to me and tells me to shush a little.

"What?" he whispers. I laugh quietly. It's funny to see him try to sneak around and be quiet.

"We left the horses in the woods..." I say and sit on his bed. "Will they be okay?" I ask.

He's standing in the bathroom trying to wipe off all the blood with a towel. I see him flinch as the wet cloth skims over the huge cut on his chest.

"Yeah they will be fine. I will inform one of the stable managers that they are there. Don't worry, I didn't forget." He says. He accidentally touches the huge gash on his chest again. "Shit." he hisses quietly. I giggle. I mean it's not funny but it kind of is...

I jump off of the bed and join him in the bathroom. I grab the cloth in his hand.

"Gavin let me do it." I say. He gives me a worried look and I laugh. He looks like I just asked him to jump off the Empire State Building. "I won't hurt you more than you've already hurt yourself." I say with an encouraging smile.

"That makes me feel better..." He says with a roll of his eyes. I let out another laugh, I don't know why this is so funny to me.

He finally allows me to take the cloth. I slowly dab the bloodied area around the deep cut.

When I look at it closly, I see it's a lot deeper than I assumed it was... This must have been Froam's doing. He was the only one to fully lay a hand on Gavin. The other rogues just nicked him up a little.

"Do you have any ointment in here?" I ask. He shakes his head. "How about any gauzes or bandages?"

"I don't think so but let me check." He pulls away from me and checks the cabinet. He takes out a box of large bandages. "This is all they have in here." I grab it from him and look at it. I sigh.

"We can work with this I guess..." Then I turn to him. "This is probably going to sting." He gives me a weird look and I place the damp towel on his cut to try to disinfect it as much as possible. He flinches for a moment, but all in all he does a very good job of sitting still.

After I dab it for a little while I unwrap about five bandages. I line them up and place them so that they are covering his cut, It sucks though, because these are the bandages with the gauze in the middle and the sticky parts on the edge. So, I have to cut off the sticky parts on two of the sides so that way it doesn't touch his cut. So much work for a makeshift bandage. I sigh in relief when I'm done, he did a good job of not flinching though.

"It's a good thing you're a werewolf and you heal quicker than humans, because my bandage kind of sucks." I say as I slowly slide my hand down the side of my bandage. Then I look up into his eyes. "How?" I ask. "How did you manage to beat Froam?"

He gazes at me for a moment then smirks and says, "Why, were you worried about me?" I roll my eyes and smile.

"Of course I was worried. But seriously, how Gavin?" I ask.

He sighs. "Froam taught me everything I know about battling. He knows my fighting strategy so well because it's his fighting strategy. So I had to think of a way to beat him in a way I wouldn't normally fight."

He looks in the mirror and examines the bandage. I follow his eyes. I glance at the cut but then my eyes trail down to his abs. What? I can't resist, if you saw this boy you wouldn't be able to either!

"I figured the only way to catch him off guard was to get him to think that he won." My eyes snap up to his face and I see he's still looking at his cut. Good, he didn't catch me looking at him...

I sigh and shake my head. "You're crazy." I smile and touch his arm. "I'm really glad you're okay though."

I let go of him and wander back into the room. I glance around. It's a little bit smaller than my room but it is still large. They welcome people so nicely here...

"We should probably go down to dinner soon. They will be wondering where we are." I say.

I hear Gavin walk into the room. He goes over to his wardrobe and opens it. I see a bunch of clothes, I know he didn't pack all of that. He must have gotten the same kind of treatment as I did. They must have given him all those clothes. I turn and follow him with my eyes. I see him grab a shirt and throw it over his head.

He quickly looks at me then smirks. He says, "I see you've gotten used to seeing me shirtless." I roll my eyes.

"Oh please. Not much to see anyway." I say in an unimpressed tone. He raises an eyebrow at my comment and I die laughing. He smiles a bit and shakes his head.

"Come on we should go." He says.

I agree and start to walk toward the door but Gavin catches my hand and stops me. I turn quickly and look into his darkened gray eyes. He takes a deep breath and I see them slowly turn back to his normal gray. He pulls me close to him and scoops me up. I let out a surprised squeal.

He lets out a quick laugh. "We can't go through my room. We have to go back to the stable and then go to dinner from there." He says. I sigh.

"Fine..." I grab onto his shirt tightly and he teleports us back to the barn.

*****

Dinner went smoothly. Well except for the fact that Kenneth and Gavin seem to hate each other, and Kenneth notice dthat I was wearing a different t-shirt. I kind of felt bad for Gavin, Kenneth seems to hate him and Leonardo didn't seem like a huge fan either. Wesley being the happy go lucky person he is, didn't care and just wanted to eat.

Kenneth had me sit in the same seat I was in yesterday so Gavin sat alone. I felt bad... I wonder why they hate each other so much.

Now I'm heading to my room. Marla and Stacey insisted on bringing me even though I now know my way around. Apparently they have to follow my every move and attend to my every wish...

Marla opens up my door and allows me to step in first. I go straight for my bed but Marla stops me.

"Oh Evelyn... Wouldn't you feel a lot better if you bathed first?" She asks. I sigh.

"Can I just take a fast shower?" I ask pleadingly. She smiles and nods.

"Of course you can. Stacey can you please get Evelyn clean undergarments." Marla says. Stacey nods and heads over to my closet.

She scrounges up some underwear and hands it to me. Marla pushes me to the bathroom.

"All the necessities are already in the shower. If you need us, we will be right out here!" she says. She's about to close the door when she stops and looks at me. "Oh and please leave your dirty clothes on the floor near the shower. We will pick them up."

Then she's gone and I'm finally alone. I let out a relieved sigh and strip my clothes off. I walk over to the shower and place my messy clothes in a heap on the floor. I unbraid the two strands of hair that were connected in the back. Then I run my hands through my long hair. It feels great to just be able to be alone.

I turn on the shower. I allow it to run for a little while so that it gets nice and hot. After a long day, all I want to do is relax my muscles under hot water. Then I step under the running shower.

The water trickles through my hair and down my body. I can feel the dirt from the past two days slipping off me. It's amazing. I grab the vanilla scented shampoo and scrub my head. The fresh scent flows around me and I smile. I've always owned vanilla scented things. It's my favorite thing to smell like. I'm glad they had that scent of shampoo here.

I use the matching conditioner after thoroughly scrubbing my head and rinsing it. While the conditioner sits I decide I should shave. I mean it's been a couple of days, which is gross so it's necessary to do it now. I shave then rinse out the conditioner. After scrubbing my body with body wash, I sit under the water for a couple more minutes then turn it off.

My body is so sore, I'm better off going to bed then continuing my shower. I dry off quickly then put on my undergarments. Why didn't they just give me my pajamas with the underwear...?

I walk out of the bathroom and Marla is standing right outside the door. She pushes me over to Stacey while she goes to pick up my dirty clothes.

Stacey puts me in my sleeping wear which is just a pink little silk dress that's short. Then she brushes out my hair. Marla comes out of the bathroom and walks to the door.

"Well goodnight Evelyn." She says with a smile.

"Goodnight Marla, goodnight Stacey." I say. They both wave and leave me alone. I turn the light out and go to my bed. I curl up under the covers and rest my head. I close my eyes and cuddle closer to my pillow. It feels great to relax.

Suddenly I hear a thud in the room. My eyes shoot open, but all I see is darkness. I hear a few steps come toward my bed and my heart beat quickens. There's someone in my room.

I feel something lean onto the bed near my head. I take a deep breath. It's now or never... I reach out and use my full force to pull the person down onto the bed. I straddle them and place my hands on their neck.

Then I hear a familiar laugh and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Gavin you're an asshole." I say. He laughs.

"No I'm not." I roll my eyes. Then I remeber it is dark and he can't see that I rolled my eyes... Then he says, "Also, I hope you realizes that this position wouldn't help you if I was a real intruder." I frown.

"What are you talking about? I have you in a choke. You would be a goner." I say cockily.

I hear him snicker. "If you think you would stop an intrude go ahead and try to choke me." He says.

I smirk. Fine, jerk. I squeeze my hands tighter around his throat.

Suddenly I'm flipped over onto my back, Gavin is straddling my waist and both my hands are over my head being held by one of his. I feel him lean down. His warm breath brushes on my neck. I shiver from his closeness.

"See?" He says. I freeze as this weird butterfly feeling swirls in my stomach. Well this is new....

"Uhuh..." I say lightly. I have this sudden urge to lean up and kiss him... It's weird I never feel like this around guys.

I feel Gavin freeze. He squeezes my wrists a little tighter and I hear him take in a deep breath then let it out. He gets off of me and releases my arms. I feel my heart sink a little bit as he gets further from me.

"Sorry about that... I um, I came here to tell you that I got the horses back to the barn safely." He says. I smile.

"I'm glad they are safe. Do you think we can ride them again sometime?" I ask. He release a quick laugh.

"Sure." We stay silent for a moment then I feel Gabin move a little bit on the bed. "Well I should probably get back to my room." He says. He starts to get off the bed and I reach out to grab him. I catch his upper arm.

"Wait..." I say quietly. "Can you just stay here.... please?" I ask. I don't know what possessed me to say that but this weird feeling in my heart tells me I'm glad I did.

"I don't know Evelyn..." He says.

I sigh. "Please? Gavin, I don't want to feel alone anymore." I say. I hear him sigh.

He moves toward my in the bed. "Push over." he says. I smile. I actually convinced him to stay?

He hops into bed and stays a good distance away from me. I kind of want him closer but I won't admit to it.

"Goodnight Gavin." I say. He lets out a quick laugh.

"Night Evie."
