sitting position and fixed the pillows behind me. The tray was set on my lap as he climbed into bed next to me.

“Trisha said you got really sick.” I nodded.

“Care to tell me what’s wrong? Was it the breakfast?” I shook my head as I took a bite of the toast. Luckily the smell was gone, now it was just Devon’s scent. I never realized it before but he smelled kind of like the blanket, of woods and pine. He looked at me.

“I smelled something awful. And would you care to tell me what you were shielding me from out there? I mean I’m a big girl I can handle things ya know.”

“There was a wild bear, he went to attack Brandon. Tucker always had his gun ready for those suckers. They are always around.”

“I didn’t hear a gun.” I said. He sighed.

“Look Sage. I was just protecting you okay? Can’t we just leave it at that?” he sounded angry. It was the first time he had raised his voice since I had met him.

“Protecting me from what? And by the way this whole big secret about what will happen when I turn 16 is really starting to get on my nerves. Why can’t I just know already?” I screamed.

“You just can’t, okay? It’s not like I can explain that.”

“Well then you know what, if you guys are going to not tell me then I’m just going to leave.” I tried to get up and nearly knocked the tray over in the process. I started to feel dizzy; my head swirled with colors and shapes.

I woke up to Devon’s face and a cool damp cloth on my head. His hands were brushing through my hair softly. I blinked a few times before I fully gained conscious.

“Try not to get up this time.” he warned.

“What’s going on here, I have never fainted before in my entire life until today. I can smell things; I smell things I have never smelled before. I can hear them playing…” I listened for a moment. “…Pictionary downstairs in the living room. What’s going on? Please just tell me.” I felt a tear escape from my eyes. He wiped it away quickly with his thumb and then caressed my face with his entire hand. Now I was scared, I wasn’t before but now this was too much for me to handle, and I just broke down right in front of him. He sat me up and wrapped his arms around me. I shook with fear as I cried in his arms.

“I thought you trusted me?”

“I do. But you have to tell me the truth.” I whispered in between breaths.

“If I tell you now, it will mess everything up. You have to wait. You’re down to 3 days. You can handle that can’t you? Just 3 days.” he was rubbing my back to calm me down.

“What do you mean 3 I thought it was…?”

“You have been past out since 4 this afternoon. It’s just about midnight now.”

“Is this normal?” I asked.

“What? Passing out well… its letting us know that your body is ready to handle what’s to come.”

“My body doesn’t feel very ready.” I sighed.

“You’re doing just fine. Just please believe me if you wait out the 3 days it will all be just fine.” I didn’t want to fight him anymore on this subject, and I didn’t want to tire myself out.

My Mother must have known what was going on, her and my Step Father. I wonder why they were allowed and I wasn’t. I calmed down a bit and he put his arm around me, and I put my head on his chest. He was breathing calmly, but his heart was beating a million miles and hour. I placed my hand on his hard chest. I felt his cheek against my hair.

“What are you doing?”

“Listening to your heart rate, if I didn’t know any better I’d think it was going to pop right out of your chest.” He snickered.

“Maybe you just drive me crazy.” I looked up at him not sure weather to believe him or not. His eyes were serious for a moment and then I noticed the lines under them from his smile. I smacked his arm and put my head back down.

“I hate you.” I mumbled.

“Love you too.” he joked. I closed my eyes and listened once again to his heart beating. I was so tired from just everything, mentally exhausted is more like it. His heart was calming me and making me fall asleep. I listened to the rhythm it was like a song, and somehow it calmed me and made me feel safe again. I took in a deep breath, and was out like a light.


I was in the forest looking back at the beautiful house that I was in. I knew in my heart that it was wrong to leave, but I had to. I started walking further and further away. That’s when I heard a branch move from a bush a few feet away. There was a growl, so low it almost sounded half human.

“Hello is anyone there?” I yelled.

“Hello?” there was no answer. I walked forward and that’s when it jumped out of the green bush. It looked human but it was tall thin and pale, with these fangs that looked like it could cut through anything. I jumped back as the thing shoved me to the ground. That’s when I felt it; my body was being pulled in both directions at the same time. It hurt so badly, I screamed in pain, and that’s when I heard my name.

I awoke to green eyes staring down into mine. It was Devon again; he was still in my room. The blankets were torn off and I saw feathers all over the bed. I sat up quickly almost head butting him. His hand was on my back.

“What… Why are… What just happened?” I questioned. I noticed that outside it was gray and miserable again, but it was definitely the afternoon, I could sense that somehow. I had slept practically all day, until this nightmare woke me up.

“You ripped the pillow in your sleep.” he placed some loose hair behind my ears.

“I did that?” I looked around; it looked like a wild animal had come into my room and tore apart the pillows. It wasn’t a wild animal it had been me. I never had nightmares not once in my life, not even as a kid. My dreams were always just dreams. I had never awakened in a sweat like this before. I rubbed my forehead and tried to focus on what was going on.

“I’ll clean up, why don’t you relax in the hot tub for a little while, get your mind off of things.” he suggested. I nodded; since I had been here I hadn’t used the hot tub that was right in my bathroom. I nodded and got off the bed. I rummaged through the dresser that was given to me, and found a bathing suit hiding in one of the drawers. I shut the bathroom door and started the hot tub. It started to bubble and I could not wait to step inside. The steam cleared my head as I changed into a red bikini. It definitely wasn’t my kind of suit. I covered my stomach hoping that he wouldn’t come in. With each step I took into the hot tub my body became lighter, and when I was full submerged I leaned my head back and sighed. The bubbles massaged my body, and my bones no longer ached.

“Hey everything is cleaned up….” I shot him a look as he just barged in. I wrapped my arms around my upper body and looked up at him in his blue swimming trunks. I couldn’t help but stare, what had been hiding under his shirt was muscle after muscle.

“I… thank… What are you doing?” I stuttered, still staring at his beautifully sculpted body. His arms were huge just as I had thought.


“Can’t I come in?” he questioned. I shrugged.

“I don’t, I don’t want you to see me like this.” I protested.

“Like what?” he questioned putting his left foot into the tub. His eyes rolled back from the sensation of the warm water. I made sure I was as far away as I could go when he finally stepped in.

“Do you want to talk about your dream?” he asked he sat down. I shook my head.

“Maybe later, okay?”

He tilted his head back and closed his eyes. I felt out of shape compared to his perfect body. I kept my arms around my body. His left eye opened to look at me.

“That’s creepy ya know?”

“What, that I am looking at you like this?”

“Yes, now stop.” I flung water in his direction. He spit it out and laughed. The next thing I knew we were having a full on water war. It wasn’t enough to soak the floor but it was enough to leave our hair dripping wet. Both of us had water droplets sliding down our faces. After the night I had I finally had felt better. I had only known him for 2 days, but he was keeping me sane from everything that had been going on. I needed to keep Devon close because he made me feel something that I had never felt before.

“Wait stay still.” he moved close to me, I mean we’d been pretty close in only a matter of 24 hours, but this closeness was just begging for his lips to touch mine. I couldn’t help but stare at them as he moved in, they looked so soft. I even noted that his top lip was slightly bigger. Sage, stop it I thought to myself, hold your-self together. His thumb touched right underneath my eye, he was breathing heavily, and I wondered if he had been feeling the same.

“You had an eyelash.” he whispered not moving an inch after he had removed it. I was now looking into his eyes again; it had been an on-going thing to crave, to look into his eyes. They were so relaxing, they made me feel worry free. It made me forget everything that had just happened. Gravity was pulling us towards each other. I wasn’t sure who had made the first move if it were him or me. I waited, and when our lips grazed each others my heart almost screamed with excitement, until we heard the door open. Both of us pulled away quickly and looked up to see Trisha standing at the door.

“Oh, did I interrupt something?” she giggled. I shook my head.

“No, I just need to relax in the…” another figure appeared behind her it was Tucker, Devon’s cousin. I suddenly felt my face flush red. He looked at me and nodded his head in approval.

“Nice Cuz.” he directed towards Devon, who rolled his eyes.

“Are they ready to…” another voice and another figure right behind Tucker it was Bethany with her hands on her hips.

“Oh- my- god.” I felt like submerging myself under the boiling
