The brisk autumn wind blew against her as she pulled her jacket closer to her chest. She quickly moved in front of the door and pulled out her key. Unlocking the top lock, she twisted the door knob and opened it up letting the autumn air in. She closed the door behind her and shook the chill bumps off her body. "Mom, I bought the milk." She shouted as she went into the kitchen. She sat the milk in the refrigerator, and walked up the stairs. "Mom?" Selena asked walking into her mother's bedroom to see her packing with tears in her eyes. "What's going on?" She asked as her mom looked up. "Oh sweetheart; we have to leave, right now." Her aunt sobbed. "What are you talking about?" Selena asked. Just then there was a sudden bang at the door. Selena's mom suddenly got shaky and grabbed a hold of Selena. "C'mon, we have to got. Now." She said then pushed Selena down the stairs and towards the back door. "Hurry. Run into the woods. Go!" She urged with more tears in her eyes. There was another bang at the door and Selena saw a glimpse of a few men with guns in their hands. "Go!" Selena's mom said as Selena slowly backed away which turned into a fast run. Luckily, Selena was on the track team at her old school so she knew how to run. After she felt as if she was far enough she stopped and turned around. She slowly backed away as she stared at a bunch of trees in front of her. "What's going on?" She mumbled to herself. Just as she said that a large hand came over her mouth aand pulled her back. She wanted to scream but all that came out was faint shreik. A gun came up to her face and the trigger was pulled. There was a small groan in the woods and a sound of a man dropping. "Come with me." Someone whispered pulling Selena into a car. "Who are you?" Selena whimpered as a tear came down her eye. "I'm here to protect you." The person said. Selena squinted her eyes and saw that it was a guy. "Protect me from what, what's going on?" Selena sobbed. The guy started the car and drove to a large cabin deep in the woods. "Come on, they can't find you here." The guy mumbled as he got out the car, Selena following him. He opened the door and rushed Selena into the cabin. "Can you please tell me what's going on here?" Selena begged as the guy closed the door behind him. "There are people following you. They think you're in possession of 30 million dollars." The guy said closing the blinds and locking the door. "Why? Who are you?" Selena asked wiping away her tears. "My name's Nick. I'm here to protect you for the next couple months."

Nick walked in from the snowy woods and took off his coat. He hung it up on the coat rack and walked into the kitchen, pulling out a box of hot chocolate."Hey, you're back." Selena said wrapping a blanket around her as she walked in from the bedroom. "Yeah. I talked to the guy. The heat should be on by 5." Nick said pouring milk into a cup. "How does it look out there?" Selena asked as Nick put the cup in the microwave and press some buttons then start. "It's cold but it's pretty out there." Nick said. Nick finished making two cups of hot chocolate and handed one to Selena. She sipped it and smiled as she said "This is great. My whole body feels like it's frozen." Selena sipped some more hot chocolate as Nick smiled. "Well that's not good. Come here, let me warm you up." Nick said as he wrapped around her. Selena stayed in his arms for a little while before he picked up her head and pecked her lips. He moved his lips against hers as Selena let him take control. Nick pulled away as Selena looked up at him. "Nick... I think..." Selena started off. "What is it?" Nick asked moving a strand of hair behind her ear. "I think I might be ready." Selena mumbled.
