"What do you want me to say?" He asks with his curious eyes staring me down
"Tell me, you'll never leave me."
Everything about his facial expressions tells me he was confused by my question like I just asked him to jump out of his own car. A few seconds go by and I bite my lip and wait. Zara, how could you tell him to say that when he could not care? I think to myself in the heat of the moment. He pulls the car to the curb of my drive way and turns and faces me and leans close to my ear so I can feel his warm dog breath against my neck.
Thermophobia - Fear of heat.
No, I am not afraid of heat. Not Nick's warmth.
"I'll never leave you" He whispers.
Just before I can kiss him, Gram comes out and yells something about it getting dark. I barely heard her because I was so caught up in the moment. It took me awhile to convince Gram into letting Nick stay at our house but she finally agreed after I told her how hard it would be for him to drive here back and forth when she was on the run. After all, the pixes could eventually escape. Since the glamour is still there (Is said she can't see the house still) That means The King is still alive. If The King is still alive, we are in danger. That's what Mom told me when were checking on the trap. I also told Gram I had Autophobia - Fear of being alone or of oneself. In this case it was of being alone. When the spider feelings are there and are creeping on my arms and legs at night sometimes. I always wonder if The King escaped. I wake up in the night some times. I'm sweaty and shaking but Nick's always there for me.
He's always there, holding me until I fall asleep again. Brushing my hair gently, trying to calm me down. And it works. Except for the nights when I have dreams of loosing him to The King. Finding him like I found Jay, only worse. He can't move or speak. His dead eyes just stare into me as I plead him to do something. No one can ever erase those dreams. I can't lose him. I shudder at the though of those dreams and Nick shakes me back to reality. We are still in the car.
"Zara... You're shivering." He says in his deep voice and he wraps his jacket around me. The warmth fills my body and it smells like the forest, the fresh green grass, the pine trees. It smells like home. I know I'm safe whenever I'm with Nick.
My arm is still bandaged up and he helps me out of the car. I can't feel my legs. Kinetophobia - Fear of movement or motion. He picks me up like a little kid who is carying a butterfly on their hand. He looks down at me with cocern and I reassure him I'm fine but he doesn't put me down. And I don't want him too ever let go of me.
