Running...

She had been running for hours it seemed, she knew she had crossed atleast one state line last night, but to where she had no idea. She had been running, running from him and his evilness, everything about him was evil and it scared her.

She had been with him since she was 11, and now she was 19, trying to get away from him had proven hard over the years. But a couple nights ago she had finally made it, but it came at the expense of her mother, the same mother who had sold her to him. Oh she knew that her elders probably had a hand in it also, how could they have not, over the years she had been dispatched to go and do jobs for the elders, each and every time they had called, he had let her go, he had no choice.

Her mother would visit her and each time she came to visit, he would leave thme alone, leave possibly, she wasn't sure, but she would beg her mother to let her out, to let her escape, but it was no use, alcohol and drugs had kept her mother thinking she had done the right thing, had kept her thinking she was giving her daughter a better life when infact she had no idea what was actually going on.

She had finally given up asking ehr mother to let her out to take her away, she knew it was a futile attempt, but two nights ago something was different. Her mother had showed up, something was different, it did not take her long for her hightened sences to kick in and kow her mother was neither drunk, nor high, but she still did not ask her to be let go, she had been resigned for more years than not to her fait, being his slave, and the Elders assassin.

Her mother however seemed to have a change of heart, and opened her cage, actually haveing to prod her daughter to run, run fast and hard and leave, he was gone for the evening and would not be back for a few hours. However that was not to be true, she had grabbed what little stuff she had and stuffed it into her back pack, along with the journal he was always writing in. She started to go, thanking her mother for letting her go, he came back, her mother screaming for her to run, run fast, and she did, turning back one last time, she watched as he killed her mother.
*SCREAMSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*

She startled awake in the old abandonded alley, wet and cold, and sniffling, she still had no idea what state she was in, all she knew is that when she finally stopped running she was exhausted and passed out after tucking her small body into a small corner, she might be an adult, but big was not what or who she was. She was always the small one, the Elders had called her a runt, the runt of the litter, and it was true, her mother had told her time and time again that she was smaller than the other pups she had given birth to.

She looked up, pulling her wet jacket around her tighter, the rain coming down hard now, the lightening bright in the sky and the thunder loud, she knew she should not be scared, it was only thunder and she was Garou and all, but she was never on her own before, this was the first time, even when the elders sent her to assassinate soemone for them, she was still technically not alone..

She just could not help being scared, although she would never admitt it to anyone, Garou never admitt anything like that, that would just be dis-honourable. She stood up and tried to shake the rain off her a bit , but that wasn't helping , what she needed was to get in out of this rain and try and get herself dry.

Heading to the alley way entrace she stopped and looked one way and then the other, trying to gage where she may be, what state, but that wasn't happening, she couldn't tell and because it was such a dreadful night, there was absolutly no one that she could see on the street to even try and make an identification about the state she was in. A rather loud clap of thunder boomed, she jumped and hurried off ot her right, trying to find someplace to go to get dry, maybe there would be a laundromat somewhere down this street.. she could only hope.

It wasn't long before she had to stop and get her bearings, it had started raining harder and she was shivering, she was hungry and thirsty and way so sleepy that when she saw the lights across the street, she almost squeeled with joy and hurried across, almost becoming road kill as a taxi rushed by and splashed her, making her even more wet if that were possible.

CARITAS

That is what the sign was flashing to her as she finally got across the street and close enough the rain wasn't obscuring it anymore. She watched as a couple people walked inside, her sences on full alert, scanning to make sure that he sisn't actually follow her and he was jsut waiting for the right time to pounce. That was when her head turned upon smelling the demon, and there it was, going into the bar, her brow raised and she shook her head, wondering what she was getting herself into.

Reluctantly she followed after a few minutes of weighing the pros and cons, and the pros won out, but only becasue she was cold and wet, and thirsty and starving. As she moved in throgu the door and down the stairs , she shook herself, watching as the water dripped off of her, the place was very nice, definatly a demon club as there was demons all over the place, she could not only smell them, but she could see them, she figured tht being Garou she wouldn't be noticed to much and that was a good thing.

She spoted the bar, smoothed her hair back and threw on her charm as she moved up to the bartender and asked him with confidence for something fruity to drink. He smiled at her and quickly mad her drink, handing it to her she pulled out what little money she had and paid him, then headed back to a table out fo the way of everyone and to her suprise and happiness it was nead a floor heater. Shrugging of her backpack, she put it on the seat beside her, then came her jacket and she put that ontop of the floro heater, knowing no one would notice since the table cloth that was on the table touched the floor.

She finally settled, pulling her feet up under her, the sandles that she had been wearing were now on the floor under the table. She sat back in her seat and took a drink from the glass, making a face as the liquor burned her throat when she swollowed, it was then she had wonder waht the hell a Seabreeze was.

Lorne came out from his office and moved towards the bar, leaning up against the far end of the bar, wincing as the Froxtox demon stood on stage butchering Achey Breaky Heart. His eyes scanned the floor area first, making sure everyone looked content and sure enough they did, smileing he scanned the back parts of the room, making sure nothing illegal was going on.
His eyes scaned across her and he smiled seeing someone new, and then stopped, his brow raising, he took her in even more and how small she was, leaning back more on the bar he called his bar tender over and frowned.

"Marcus, sweetpea, did you serve that little kitten sitting over there"

Marcus looked over to where his boss was pointing and nodded

"Yea, served her, she's old enough, boss"

Lorne frowned, his eyes still on her.

"If she is old enough to be drinking, then call me Elvis!"

Pushing himself off the bar, he walked toward her, still taking her in, trying to get a feel for her, just then realizing how small she truely was. He stopped at her table, watching her for a moment, she had yet to realize that he was standing there.

"Excuse me Kitten, I'm the owner of this georgous establishment and as such I would like to see some ID"

He flashed a smile at her when she startled and looked up at him, her nose flared and she took in his scent. he didn't smell bad and she knew bad, she had lived it for a very long time. She kept her eyes on him as she slipped her hand into her jeans pocket, it took a bit to fish out her ID becasue he jeans were truely soaked and stuck to her still. She handed the little card to him, all the while trying to use a gift she knew to make him belive that the ID was actually real and not doctored to make her a couple years older than she was.

He smiled in only the way the Lorne could and took the little card from her. He studdied it for a very long time, she was getting nervouse and took another sip off the drink she had, forcing herself not to wince at the burn that yet again happened when she swollowed. His eyes moved from the card to her and she smiled a little bit, he smiled back and she suddenly felt weird inside, she couldn't explain it, its not something she ever felt before, but it wasn't a bad weird.

"Beautiful... you are amazingly beautiful, kitten... but this?"

He looked at her firmly

"is about as real as the nose on Liza Minelli's face!, Marcus bring this sweet gal a nice fruit juice"

He took the drink from her and she sat up a bit in her seat, slipping her sandles on underneath the table, this was bad, she was feeling it, somethings wrong if her gift didn't work, he was jsut a demon, a handsome demon, but still jsut a demon, it should have worked, and then he took her drink.

"HEY!.. I was drinking that!"

She took it right back from him and took another drink from it, and there was that burn again, and she hid the wince, she was sure never gonna get another seabreeze again.

"And I am to old enough!, says so right there!"

She snatched the card right from his other hand at the same time that he took the glass right back out of her hand, his eyes hard on hers.

"And I have a paddle in my office just for a smart little tushy like you, now drink your juice, or you and it are gonna meet, kitten"

She sat back in her chair, having picked up her jacket from the floor heater and her backpack from the chair beside her, she wasn't sure if he was serious or not but that drink ws warming her up, she scowled at the juice, Lorne looked at her and smiled.

"Whats your name, sweetpea?"

"Tangi"

She said not to nicely as she fiddled with the zipper on her backpack, her soaked backpack.

"And that ID, IS real you know"

she pushed the juice away still scowling a nd he leaned close to her

"So's my paddle"

She looked up at him, man he was handsome and she couldn't shake the weird feeling.

"So"

It was not like she had not been spanked before, alright so she was not spanked, she was beaten, but was there a difference?, a real difference?, she just didn't care at this point.

"You always talk to your customers like this, mister?"

She stood up and slipped her jacket and back pack on and put what little change she had left on the table for that nasty smelling glass of juice, and stepped passed him.

"Think I'll take the rain after all"

Lorne stepped infront of her quickly and gently, yet firmly took both her arms and smiled.

"I'll make you a deal, tangi... you sing me a little song and I will personally make you any drink that you want"

She looked at him, her eyes widening, wondering if he was a nut.

"Sing?"

She wondered again why it was her that always seemed to attract the nut jobs, or worse. He smiled at her yet again and there it was, that werid not bad feeling inside her.

"Sing, a little song, nothing fancy, kitten, just a little tune"

She just looked at him, but something inside her told her to sing, and the only song she could remember right at that very moment was kinda childish but she sang it anyway.

"Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky,...."

His eyes clsoed as she sang, her voice quiet but sweet and gentle, her story was a sad one, her mother gave her away and she was running from someone, he knew she was blocking him, what she could block from him, but he knew one thing for sure, she was his, he saw it, saw that this sweet little gal was his, kitten.

"Kay.. sang.. now ummm, I gotta go"

She said fastly and turned trying to hurry away, but Lorne was having none of it and gently but firmly grabbed her arm again.

"your not going anywhere, sweetie, except to my office... we need to talk"

She looked way up at him again, her tummy feeling sick, her panick starting to rise.

"Why?... I sang.. and.. and.. I didn't even drink that drink after you said not to"

She kicked his shin hard and tried to move away from him, trying not to cause a sceen in here as there was t many demons and she just wan't sure. He winced and grabbed her, throwing her gently over his shoulder.

"Sweet Sinatra!, I wasn't gonna spank ya, but now I am!"

He started for his office, and she struggles over his shoulder, smacking his back as they walked.

"Hey!, put me down!, NOW!"

He set hr down only after he was inside his office and the door was clsoed and locked, she took hr back pack off, it was easier to run while she was holding it and not wearing it.

"You need to calm down kitten and listen to what I have to say!"

She whacked him with her bag and growled at him, He winced and raised a brow

"nutcases!, why is it always me, why do I always find them!, god why do I..."

She whacked him again, harder this time, hping that it would distract him enoguh so she could get out, but Lorn had other ideas and when she went to hit im for a third time, he ducked it and grabbed her , managing to get ahold of the bag and toss it across the room, he sat, she over his lap, his hand coming down hard on her little ass as he spanked her.

"I said calm down little girl!"

"OWWWW, OKOK, OWWWW, OKOK"

She got perfectly still, not moving, trined for years, she made sure not to move. Once she stopped fighting him and was still, he stopped spanking her, his hand gently rubbing her wet jean covered ass.

"I read auras, kitten.. when people sing, I see things.. sometimes their pasts.. their future.. it could be anything"

He kept rubbing her bottom, she layed there wondering what he was doing, why he was rubbing her ass

"I saw your future kitten, some of it anyway, and it was with me"

She wrinkled her brow, still wondering why he was rubbing her bottom, still.

"oh....why are you rubbing?"

His brow furrowed.

"It helps take the sting out, i'll stop if you want me to kitten"

She thought about that for a long time, quietly and he kept rubbing, waiting for her to answer, letting her take her time, he didn't want to scre her off, from the read he had gotten on her, it seemed she was already scared enough.

"Kay.. no, I mean, its kay, you don't gotta stop"

She spoke quietly and he smiled, continuing to rub, noting jsut how wet her jeans are, from the rain otuside.

"We are mates kitten, I saw it as clear as day"

She nodded

"Kay.. want up now"

He stopped rubbing and carefully eased her up, so she was sitting on his lap.

"we are soul mates, you are mine and I am yours, kitten"

Again she nodded, feelign that weird not bad feeling inside her again, and then he kissed her softly while she was in deep thought, and she flinched, pulling back from him, blushing.

'"I'll never hurt you, kitten, I will take care of you, I promise"

His words were deep, but soft, and the only thing she could pay attention to was that kiss.

"Did you kiss me?"

His smile grew and he nodded.

"yes, just like this"

He leaned into her and kissed her even softer, and this time she let him, smiling at him

"oh, ok"

He grined at her, his hand rubbing her back softly.

"You like that , Sweetie?"

She smiled at him blushing, the weird not bad feeling even stronger in her now for some reason and she wasn't sure waht it was, but she nodded.

"yea, never been kissed before"

She spoke softly, his hand rubbing her back reassuringly.

"well hold onto your socks, babygirl"

With that said he leaned in again and kissed her again. She melted right then and there on his lap and tried kissing him back. He kept rubbing her back and smiling as she kissed him back and finally broke for some much needed air.

"mmmmmm"

Her eyes were still clsoed and he thought she looked adorable.

"I'm Lorne by the way"

He grinned, and she atleast had the good sence to blush.

"Uhhh.. sorry...I just don't go around kissing people I don't know.. I don't kiss people.. so.. umm.. yea.. I'm sorry"

She stammered out starting to panick, and he could almost feel her panick rise, his hand moved from her back to her hair and he stroked it gently

"no sorries, dollface"

He kissed her head as she started to calm down a bit.

"We were ment to bed sugarpie... this was ment to be"

She leaned against him, soaking in his warmth, this was new to her, this was not something she ever got, people as a general ruler were never nice to her without wanting something, and she was sure he didn't want anything from her. She decided she liked to be held, alot. Lorne sences something , he knew her head was spinning and he just held her close, rubbing her back and kissing her head.

"Your mine now babygirl.. i'm gonna take good care of you.. I promise you that"

She opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"I need to pee"

He looked down at her and cracked a grin, shaking his head, he knew this was going to take time, she wasn't one for paying attention to much, he could already tell, she was a subject hopper, it would take time, but they would figure it out.

"Right over there, kitten.. I have a private one"

He helped her up from his lap and patted her bottom gently to scoot her off to the bathroom. She hurried towards the bathroom, making a detour and grabbed her backpack from the floor, then headed straight in and closed and locked the door once she was inside. She did what she had to, then washed her hands, being hygenic was her thing, she was forever washing her hands.
She dried her hands on the towl and replace it neatly back up on the rack and then looked around, spotting a blow dryer she set about trying to dry her clothing a bit, she was getting really cold, with the wet clothing fromt he rain.

Lorne had heard the blow dryer go on and knew what she must be doing, atleast she was trying to get herself dry, he knew it wouldn't be a fight to get her clothing off so she didn't get sick. He stood and headed to the closet, taking out one of his shirts and went over knocking on the door

"Try this babygirl, its dry"

She stopped the dryer hearing him and opened the door.

"Ohh, I don't wanna mess up your things, I can wear these, I'll just dry them, its ok"

She smiled at him, and his heart melted, he smiled back

"Take it sweetpea, try it, it will be better than the wet stuff your wearing."

She looked at the shirt and nodded, taking it she closed the door again and puled off her wet stuff, pulling the shirt on it fell to her ankels, she was very small, she had always knew this. But this just sealed the deala nd she opened the door and came back out

"It is kinda big, 'casue i'm kinda small, but thank you"

She smile and he smiled right back at her, how could he not, she was so cute.

"It looks beautiful on you babygirl, wanna cuddle on the couch?"

She looked up at him as he took her hand

"huh?"

His brow raised

"you never been cuddle, kitten?"

She shrugged.

"Once, I think.. maybe.. ummm, I dunno.. do'nt you have to go back out there"

He lead her over to the sofa and sat down, noting she was holding her bag close to her, guarding it almost.

"Nope, are you trying to get rid of me hunny?, I won't hurt your bag, won't even look at it if you do't want me to"

He patted the cushion next to him. She took a seat and put the bag at her feet.

"I know"

He smiled and pulled her close, his strong arms wrapping around her protectively.

"I love you, my little Garou"

She was liking this cuddling, but she froze when he said Garou and she looked up at him.

"You.... you know I'm garou?"

He looked down at her.

"I read you babygirl, when you sang, did you think I just made that up.?"

She shrugged, she didn't care at this point if he made it up or not, she felt safe and she liked that feeling, so he could lie to her all he wanted as long as he didn't hurt her.

"People say alot of things for different reasons"

"Look at me, kitten"

His fingers gently pulled her shin up, she looked at him.

"I will NEVER lie to you, I sware it"

she looked at him for a long time, something in her made her belive him and he nodded.

"ok"

He smiled

"You will trust me one day"

He kissed her head and went back to cuddling her some more, she liked cuddling, especially with him, and she was still chilly but she was getting warmer.

"I like cuddling"

"Me to, especially with you punkin', your a damn fine cuddler"

she blushed, changing the subject.

"you.... umm.. got a vending machine around here?"

He looked down at her and sat her up

"you hungry, kitten?, just name it and I will get it for you"

She shook her head no, and then stopped and shook it yes

"yes, but a vending machine is ok"

"you want chips, I ahve a stash over there in the cupboard"

She looked at him

"Chocolate?"

Her mouth watered at the prospect of their being chocolate, becsue it had been so long since she had, had any.

"Go take a look over in those cupboards kitten, anything you want, help yourself."

She smiled and looked over, then got up and hurried over, having to pull up the shirt she was wearing a bit, so she did not trip on it. her eyes widened as she looked inside the cupboard, he sure had alot of stuff in there, and she found the poptarts, chocolate ones, and she took one, replacing the box.

"thank you"

She moved back to him and sat down, eating hungrily. he leaned back and wrapped his arm back around her, and watched her a moment while she ate, he thoguht it was adorable how she growled softly as she she ate the sugary treat.

"Wanna tell me what your running from?"

He asked and she stopped eating a moment and shook her head

"nuthin' "

He kissed her head.

"I know you are running from something sweetpea, I saw, when I read you."

His fingers carded through her hair and she continued to eat.

"I respect privcy.. and the need for secrets on occassion.. Just don't lie to me, if you don't wanna tell me, then just say, I don't wanna tell you"

She nodded

"Ok"

She took arouther bite as his brow went up and he wondered when the last time she ate was, His finger stroked through her hair again.

"So what are you running from sweetpea"

He asked again, she shook her head.

"Nuthin;, can I have another poptart, please?"

she looked up at him

"Smiling he kissed her head and nodded

"sure you can sweetpea"

"thanks!"

She got up and hurried over, grabbed another tart and came back, sitting down. Lorne wrapped his arm around her again and started to sing softly to heras she finished off her second set of tarts in the last 10 minutes.

"wanna go see your new home, babygirl?"

she looked at him, brow furrowed

"this isin't it?"

Lorne laughed and shook his head, she was cute.

"No babygirl, this is the club, I got a nice loft upstairs"

With that he stood and offered her his hand, and when she accepted, he smiled and started to lead her to the hallway, when she abruptly stopped and pulled her hand away.

"DOn't got any cages up there do ya?"

She asked him serious and his brow almost flew off his face at the question.

"Oh heavens no!, why would I have cages?"

She shrugged

"Just asking, no reason"

He kneeled down, looking her right in the eye.

"I will never hurt you Tangi, never.. I know you've been hurt... bably, but I will never do that, you will never be hurt again."

She looked at him and smiled, she belived him and she felt safe, and she ws tired, maybe he had a bed up there she could sleep in, it has been a long time since she had slep in a bed.

"I belive you"

He stood

"GOOD!, common lets go show you your new home!"

He lead her towards the elevators and she smiled, she really liked elevators. Stepping inside, he pulled the door down and pushed the button for up, while she looked around.

"What city is this?"

She asked finally looking over at him. He watched her look around and smiled at her when she made eye contact.

"Los Angeles, hunny.. The City of Angels"

She snorted at that.

"Angel's my ass"

His brow raised at the language, he wasn't a lover of the crude, he would have to break her of it, but not anytime soon, just let her settle in and not overwhelm her.

"Well I happen to know one Angel and he is my best pal."

she nodded

"ok"

"you'll like him, kitten, he is nice"

The elevator stopped and he opened the door

"Well here we are, welcome home, kitten"

He stepped out taking her hand and pulling her put with him, she looked around and smiled.

"Wow, its way big, and nice.. and no cages either."

She took a deep breath and smiled more. Lorne smiled proudly.

"Check out the kitchen, kitten"

"the kitchen?"

He nodded and she headed the way he was pointing, he followed.

"I like to cook on occassion, I make a mean lasagna"

She looked around, it was big, and looked expensive.

"its pretty, I make peanut butter sandwiches"

She grinned and he laughed.

"I bet you make the best darndest peanutbutter sandwhiches around, go take a look in the fridge"

She looked at him suddenly nervous

"Why.. is there... will I get in trouble?"

She almost whispered the last part. His heart almost broke right in two when he saw the look on her face and the fear in her voice.

"No.. no its your fridge to now, you can have anything you like, kitten"

His arm moved around her for reassurance, and he could feel the relief come over her whole little body.

"how do you feel about shareing a bed, sweetie?"

She looked up at him

"A bed?.. a real bed?.. I can sleep on the floor, I'm pretty small I won't take up alot of room."

He caressed her face gently, and kissed her softly. she growled softly in return, liking the kiss.

"You will never sleep on the floor, babygirl.. you are my mate, and if your not comfortable with shareing a bed, I have two rooms, I'd like to share, but either way there will be no floor"
She smiled.

"Shareings ok.. I mean if its ok with you.. I don't like being alone"

It was his turn to smile and he hugged her gently.

"Me either kitten, and you will never be alone again, see we fit perfectly togeather"

He kissed her softly and she smiled shyly

"I like kisses"

"me to kitten, see we match perfectly"

She nodded

"I Have to pee again."

He patted her bottom, gently towards another door.

"Right in there hunny"

she scurried off to the bathroom and closed the door, thinking that he really liked to touch her ass, she did her business, washed her hands throughly again and came back out.

"ok.. done, thank you"

He moved to her

"you don't have to thank me puddin' pop, what can I do to make you fell at home?"

She changed the subject again after he patted her bottom again.

"you really like to pat my ass"

He raised a brow and smiled, letting her language go for now, and wiggled his brows

"Its a nice bum kitten, do ya mind?.."

She shook her head.

"No, its sorta... nice"

"good cause I love your tushy"

He moved over to the sofa and took a seat.

"Come here babygirl, lay over my lap"

She looked at him and shook her head, he eyes getting big.

"No"

She backed up

"ok, ok, calm down, I just wanted to rub your tushy, hunny.. but can I ask you something?"

She looked at him, relaxing some.

"Did I hurt you downstairs.. when I spanked you?"

She thought about that and shook her head

"not, really"

He nodded.

"I never want to hurt you.. spanking.. well yea it hurts.. but I never wanna hurt hurt you.. does that make sence?"

She smiled and nodded, moving to sit beside him.

"Can I ask you something else?"

She nodded

"why did you get upset when I asked you to get over my lap?"

She held her bag close to her in her lap

"no, reason"

He looked at her

" someone's hurt you haven't they.. a man someone?"

She shook her head no

"No"

"Tangi"

She looked at him, his tone had slightly changed, she could tell, even this short of time with him.

She shook her head again.

"No"

He watched her a moment or two or three, he knew they had just discussed the lieing downstairs, how if she did not want to tell him, then she could say so, but not lie to him, this was something they needed to work on as well.

"Ok, then.. come on lets go show you the bedroom"

He took her hand and gently pulled her up, she followed him, down the hall and to the big door at the end.

"Well this is it.. thats a King cal.. biggest bed there is, go on try it, jump on it hunny!"

He was excited to see the excitement on her face when she saw the bed. She smiled and toed her sandles off and set her bag on top of them, then climbed onto the bed and layed there.

"ohhhhh this is nice.. its way so soft"

He smiled so big at her cuteness

"Go on get under the blankets."

She sat up and shook her head.

"No, thats alright, I'm ok here"

He moved to her and took a seat on the bed beside her.

"Tangi, someones hurt you, I know this, but whoever it was, I am NOT them, i will not hurt you, you need to accept that, sweetheart"

She climbed off the side of the bed, grabbed her bag and moved back out to the couch and sat down, holding her bag in her lap, Lorne went after her.

"I upset you"

She shook her head no

"No"

He shook his head sadly, she was a scared little girl, even if she was technically an adult, oh yes he knew her real age, it was something he saw, when he had read her.

"I don't expect anything from you babygirl.. no sex, if thats what your worried about"

She nodded

"no, sex?"

She looked at him, he looked at her, his eyes on hers.

"I wanna make love with you.. when you are ready, no matter how long it takes, you have my heart, my soul, I love you, Tangi"

She bit her lip and nodded a few moments later

"ok"

She sat back on the couch and he wrapped an arm around her stroking her hair, gently.

"If you never want to, thats perfectly fine to, sweetpea, i'll always love you"

She looked at him a wee bit misty

"really?.. why?"

He smiled

"Becasue I've seen your heart, and how beautiful and amazing it is, babygirl"

He kissed her head and she blushed and yawned.

"How about I tuck you in to bed, and I'll sleep in the spare room tonight"

She nodded

"ok.. you not gonna stay with me?"

He looked at her and smiled

"you.. you want me to?"

She blushed and nodded shyly

"Yes I don't like being alone.. and well.. I'm sorta used to sleeping in a cage"

His heart sank as he held her close

"Never again babygirl.. never again"

He stood with her still in his arms and carreid her to the bedroom, laying her down and curling in next to her, holding her close and stroking her hair gently.

"Never again"

She started growlign softly.. she liked cuddleling, she liked kissing, she liked being held and she liked him, no that wasn't true, she loved him. She wasn't sure why, she had no reason to trust this man, demon, person, but she did. She rolled over and nuzzled herself into him close.

"love you"

She growled out softly to him, his smile growing BIG as he heard her, his arms wrapping around her just a little bit tighter

"I love you my babygirl, I love you"

He spoke to her, then started singing softly to her, knowing that she was HIS, and even though she was going to take some work, possibly alot of work, he loved her.
