Rhydian ran as fast as he could through the forest. Maddy was losing blood and she could barely keep her eyes open.

"Maddy stay with me. Keep your eyes open." Rhydian begged. He began to run even faster, hoping that Maddy would be able to make it home.

After half an hour of running, Rhydian finally made it to Maddy's house. He ran up to the door and kicked it open.

Emma and Maddy's dad Dan were sitting on the couch worrying about where Maddy had been when Rhydian kicked the door open.

"Mrs Smith, Maddy and I were sittin on the floor I the forest when Ceri come up and attacked Maddy. I ran as fast as I could but I don't know how much blood she lost." Rhydian was freaking out.

"Put her in the spare room upstairs." Emma said as calm as she could.

Rhydian did as he was told, but when Emma told him to leave the room so she could help Maddy, Rhydian refused. Dan had to drag him down the stirs and sit him down on the couch.

"Rhydian how did you find her?" Dan asked trying to ease the tension slightly.

"She found me." Rhydian was really nervous. He had Maddy's blood on his hands and shirt. He was tapping his feet on the floor and Dan realised that that was all he was going to get out of him.

After 3 hours of waiting, Rhydian was becoming seriously nervous. He was worried that Ceri had killed Maddy and every time he thought that, he got even more nervous.

Eventually, Emma came down the stairs and told Rhydian that he could go and see her. Rhydian had to stop himself from sprinting up the stairs.

When he got to the door, he slowly opened it.

"Rhydian, you stayed." Maddy whispered. She was in pain and she was as white as ghost. Rhydian closed the door behind him and then sat down on the bed next to MADD and crossed his legs.

"It wasn't your fault she attacked me Rhydian. Ceri just changed to quickly." Maddy said, knowing exactly what Rhydian was going to say.

"Yes it is. If I was able to change quicker this wouldn't of happened."

"Rhydian, I don't care whose fault it was. All I know is that you saved me. That means more then anything."

"I saved you because I love you." Rhydian whispered a few seconds later. Maddy put a small smile on.

"I love you more. Now come and lay down next to me. I'm tired." And with that, Rhydian carefully laid down next to her.

Maddy looked at him and then took his hand. She was so happy that he was here. Even though she couldn't move much, she snuggled herself into Rhydian's chest.

They just laid there, Maddy with her head on Rhydian's chest and Rhydian with his arm are fully wrapped carefully around her.

Rhydian and Maddy talked for most of the day. Every couple of hours Maddy would whine in pain and so Rhydian and Emma made her take more panadol.

Emma was glad that Rhydian was on we side about Maddy. Every time that Emma said that Maddy should have more panadol or she should eat it drink, Rhydian backed her up.

By dinnertime, Maddy was able to slowly walk to the kitchen. Rhydian had one hand around Maddy's waist and the other one was holding onto her hand. He walked Maddy to the kitchen and helped her sit down. He wasn't sure if he was aloud to stay for dinner or not but when Emma handed him a plate with bacon and a whole heap of other delicious meats.

Everyone was very chatty at dinner. Rhydian was recounting his first week with Ceri but he pretended to space it out over two weeks. He didn't tell anyone what he really did in the second week. He had blacked out for most of it so he wasn't even sure anyway.

After everyone had dinner, Rhydian and Maddy sat down on the couch.

"How did you find me yesterday night?" Rhydian asked Maddy after a few they were comfortable on the couch.

"I didn't. I'm pretty sure i slept walked." Maddy replied.

"Seriously? I wondered why you didn't know where you were and now i know." Rhydian said with a cheeky grin.

Maddy, who was still slightly pale, turned her head to Rhydian and crashed her lips to his. Maddy put her hands around Rhydian's neck and Rhydian, not wanting to hurt her, put his hands lightly on her waist. he slowly wrapped his arms around her, being careful not to hurt her.

A few minutes later Dan walked in from the kitchen. He cleared his throat, but Maddy and Rhydian didn't take much notice to him being there. They eventually pulled away from each other to breath. Dan slowly backed away from them and walked back into the kitchen.

"Oh boy. This is going to be a rough time for us. Maddy and Rhydian paid no attention to my presence just then. They just kept on kissing." Dan was shaking his head as he said this.

"Dan, their soul mates. they can do what they please as long as we can't see or hear it." Emma said, a look of slight disgust on her face.

"What did you just say? Did you just say that they're soul mates?" Dan asked, surprised by his wifes words.

"Did you just say that we're soul mates?" Maddy said as she and Rhydian came out of the lounge room. Dan looked from Maddy to Rhydian then back to Maddy. he suddenly knew what Emma was talking about.

"Yes I did. You two are each others soul mates. That's why it felt like your heart was being ripped out Maddy. Rhydian, you didn't say if you did or not. Did you feel anything?" Emma asked him. Rhydian just looked down at his feet and he had a sheepish look on his face.

"Yes. The entire second week I basically blacked out because of the pain." Rhydian blushed a dark shade of crimson.

Maddy looked at him and Rhydian looked straight down. He slowly looked up and then nervously smiled at her.

Maddy took his hand in her own and then kissed him on his blushed left cheek.

Emma and Dan took that as sign to leave and so they left the house and decided to go to an old friends house.

All they knew was that their little cub was no longer a child.
