~Chapter Three~
They ate in silence that evening, before Shane slouched out on the sofa remote in hand and Elizabeth curled up on her beanbag book in hand,
"So many channels" Shane groaned as he flipped through channel after channel "and all showing…ooo South Park…Seen it" he tossed the remote aside,
"You want to play a game" Elizabeth mumbled,
"Game?" Shane had almost forgotten Elizabeth was there, 'almoast'.
"Yeah, I have the Wii, PS, 1 2 and 3 and…"
"Xbox? Please say you have an Xbox?" Shane blurted out
"Nope" she smiled, Shane looked disappointed "Got an Xbox 360"
"Funny" he smiled, "Where have these been hidden then/" He asked as they where clearly not by the TV in front of him,
"My room" she mumbled putting the bookmark in her book and placing it on the floor beside her beanbag "Help me up" she sighed holding out her hands, Shane hesitated the memory of his shower coming to mind, but he quickly shook the thought and walked over to where she was sitting, he gently took her hands in his and pulled her up towards him.
Shane wasn't sure what he had been expecting when he entered Elizabeth's room but what he found wasn't it.
Her room clearly had been two rooms at one point, the central dividing wall had been removed;
In the far Right corner had a mirrored closet built against the wall in an 'L' shape, it ran a quarter of the way along the back wall and half way along the side wall where it ended next to one of two windows in the room.
Next to the closet on the back wall was a queen sized canapé bed, covered in ornate pillows and quilts,
Left of the bed was another built in wardrobe this one with glass windows on the top section instead of Mirrors, inside these where shelves filled with small ornaments most of which, Shane could see were fairies, Dragons and unicorns.
On the right wall between the two windows there where floor to ceiling bookshelves filled to breaking with books, on the wall opposite there were more floor to ceiling bookshelves which stopped at the bedroom door situated in the far Left corner, these shelved were half filled with more books and the rest; Making Shanes eyes sine where filled with Games and Hand Consoles.
The games were arranged by console and alphabetically, everything from Retro Console games to modern 3D consoles and in the bottom corner where her Xbox and Xbox 360 games.
Finally the final wall, contained a corner unit that held a PC, a large TV in the centre, pinned up on the wall and beneath was a malty layer cabinet containing an Xbox, Xbox 36 and a Wii, all with controller charge stations.
"I thought you said you didn't have an Xbox? And you had a Ps…" Shane said
"I lied" she smiled "About the Xbox anyway, these are the three I play most, the rest…" she walked over to the glassed cabinet and opened one of the bottom cabinets to reveal boxed consoles
"Any console you can think of…I have" she said, "I collected them over the years"
"How old are you" Shane blurted out, as he headed to the shelf containing games
"Um, 16…plus maybe a few years" she mumbled
"A few?" Shane looked at her,
"Well daddy is 99 this year, you should be able to do the maths from that" she said digging through the draw for her TV remote,
"So if he was human when you were born…you would be at least…50, 60years old"
"I'm 44" she sighed
"You look good for your age" Shane lifted his head to look at her before returning to view her library of games, "wanna play together?" he asked
"Nah, I'll just watch" she sighed sitting on the end of her bed and allowing her body to fall back relaxing into her mattress.
Elizabeth jumped as she felt the edge of her bed dip as Shane took a seat,
"'lizabeth? Can I ask you something?" he said, he had a game in hand but he seemed to be holding this so that his hands were busy,
"Sure" she mumbled she didn't move just remained on her back staring at the sealing,
"Why do you chose to protect me, I mean you could have left me to Monica…" he mumbled the last part, it was at this that Elizabeth sat up,
"You haven't met very many decent people; have you?" She asked
"What?" Shane was shocked
"What I did, would have been what any normal kind hearted human being would have done…I mean maybe not threatening to rip her to shreds part, but I could clearly see she was not an old friend and…" Shane cut her off, his lips pressed to hers, causing a gasp to escape from her lips allowing his tongue access, his hands releasing the game which fell to the floor with a clonk, neither of them registered it, Shane enveloped her in his arms pulling her awkwardly closer to him.
She smiled into the kiss and turned her body to face him, making the kiss much easier and allowing them both access to explore with their hands.
Shane's hands worked their way from her waist to her heaving chest, whilst her hands began exploring the hidden muscle beneath his shirt.
Downstairs there was a loud bank, causing the two to pull apart in alarm, their lips swollen and parted as they gasped for air, they looked from one another to the Door,
"Stay" Elizabeth swallowed as she stood and made her way to the door, Shane did not obey and was only two steps behind her.
Elizabeth crept silently down the stairs her eyes searching the entrance hall, she slowly made her way to the lounge where she found the intruder,
"I nearly ripped you head off" she hissed, lettering her grad down
"Who is it" Shane asked seeing her relax,
"Dad, you go play the Xbox, I'll…" She began
"No, It is actually Shane I need to speak with" Sam said simply, not in a threatening way, but in a way that made Elizabeth cringe,
"No" Elizabeth said, "No Way dad." She hissed
"Now darling I only wish to convey a message from your Mother, you may stay to hear it as well."
"Fine" Shane said
"Amelie, requested that you give the Morrell Family a wide birth, she was informed of the events of today…"
"Excuse me dad but the Morrell will be giving us a wide birth as of today" Elizabeth said "Besides she came over to Shane"
"Lizzy, Stop it, your mother is less than please at the way you handled the situation she will not take this any further…this time as long as you agree…"
"I don't want to be anywhere near the Morrell family, so you have no issues of me going anywhere near them" Shane snapped,
"That is all she asks…That and she wants you to behave yourself in future" Sam had turned to Elizabeth now
"I was doing as I had promised…protecting Shane" she said turning her back on her dad "If that is all you can leave" Elizabeth was not happy and Shane could tell.
"No that is no all, when did you last…"
"Yesterday" she snapped "I'm old enough to take care of myself" she said
"You've never had a Human living with you" Sam was getting angry now, Shane held his breath
"Not that you knew of" she mumbled before heading to the stairs "Oh and daddy I would appreciate it if you knock next time you visit" whit that Shane could tell that was Sam's que to leave,
"Shane do me a favour, when you grow up and have kids…don't their nothing but trouble" Sam sighed heading for the door
"Yeah see ya Sam" Shane nodded, following Sam and bolting the door shut after him before heading upstairs.
By the time Shane got to the top of the landing he could hear the bath running, he made his way to her bedroom door to find her in her wardrobe
"You ok?" he asked
"Sure, Look feel free to play the Xbox, I'm going for a very long, Very Hot bath" she said retrieving a few items from the wardrobe before closing the door, "There are some beanbags in the next room if you want to sit closer to the TV" she never turned to face him,
"You…you ok?" he asked not sure that she would want to speak with him about family matters,
"Yeah I'll be fine" she sighed walking to one of the book shelves and pulling out a book,
"Well if you wanna talk" He said whilst it mind screamed at him 'STOP BEING A SUCH A PUSSY GIRL…SO NOT SEXY!' She turned to him
"Thanks Shane" she half smiled at him, "You enjoy the Xbox" With that she left the room.
By the time She decided to get out of the bath the sun had fully set, she dried herself off and dressed leaving her hair wrapped in a towel, before heading to her room where Shane was perched on two stacked bean bags, he didn't see her at first, he was to into killing whatever it was on the screen, she stood in the doorway and watched the joy on his face; it was like a kid a Christmas she smiled to herself
"Die Super Mutant DIIIIIEEEE" she said "Fuck!" he groaned as his character died on screen, Elizabeth couldn't hold back the giggle alerting Shane to her presence. "Not Funny" he sulked,
"Sorry, what were you playing?" she asked moving further into the room
"Fallout 3" he sighed as the game reloaded to his last save point, "Enjoy your bath?"
"yeah was ok, was thinking of dyeing my hair to piss mum off, what would you think of pink hair" she laughed
"Pink, interesting choice how about green?" Shane smiled saving the game,
"Nah done green, didn't suit me" she smiled making hr way to her bed "you can keep playing" she smiled
"Nah bored of getting my ass whooped by mutants, pay play Left for dead if you would like to join me" he said taking the CD from the console and returning it and it's case to the self where he had taken it from.
"I think I'll give it a miss this evening my book was just getting interesting," Shane turned to look at her realising for the first time what she was now wearing; a very thin, almost see-through, pale blue, baby-doll night dress, she was stretched out on her bed, causing the hem to rise revealing a lacy thong, Shane bit his lip,
'Um maybe I should really call it a night' his mind though but his mouth opened
"Fuck you, you're fucking gorgeous!" Shanes Jaw dropped 'Why the fuck did I just say that?'
His mind was betraying him and now so was his body, he's feet began to walk without him wanting or willing them to, not in the direction of the exit as his brain was pleading him to but closer to the bed, closer to her, she was watching him her blue eyes sparkling, she smiled, patting the bed beside her
"this…it doesn't make sense…" he mumbled kneeling on the bed and crawling closer to Elizabeth, she smiled "Have you put a spell on me?" he mumbled, he was kneeling beside her, he moved his hands to rest either side of her head, his head moving closer to hers but stopped inches away
"I was going to ask you the same question" she whispered, the lust in her voice was clear, Shane smiled down at her before he moved to kiss at her neck smiling when he found a sensitive spot just behind her ear,
"You like that" he smiled placing another gentle kiss on that spot, she let out a moan in compliance, "what do you want?" he whispered nibbling her ear, before he could register what was happening he was on his back and she was straddling him,
"Mmm" she smiled leaning forward "I think…" she smiled, her hands slipping between them, "these are a little too tight" she smiled releasing the button on his jeans, Shane let out a moan as his throbbing erection sprang free "Better" she whispered in his ear, he didn't answer just put his hand on the back of her head pulling her down into a hot sexy kiss. Shane bit gently at Elizabeth's lower lip erecting another moan from her lips. Not wanting to be out done Elizabeth gently ground her pelvis into his, causing him to let out a groan.
"Shane…" she whispered he looked up into her eyes, "We…I cant do this we have to stop" she moved of off him
"What's the matter" he sane moving to her side at the edge of the be
"I'm sorry I… it's just, there's something about you…"
"did I do something…" he began
"No…No defiantly not…it's…I've slept with people before no trouble…but you, with you I…you make me hungry…and not in a good way" she said staring at her hands in her lap, Shane looked at her
"'Lizabeth…"
"I don't want to hurt you Shane…I…" a tear fell down her cheek and onto her hands, Shane turned to face her more, he gently lifted her face to look at him,
"it's ok" he whispered, he smiled at her before pulling her into a tight hug "I'll go to my room, you…" he began
"No…I mean…." She stopped, "I need to go out, I'll be back later" she pulled away from Shane, who starred unsure of what to do, she was digging through her closet so Shane decided to leave the room.
Shane hear her leave but never heard her return, it was now one in the morning and he was beginning to worry, he quickly did a scan of the house to make sure that he hadn't missed her coming in, but the house was empty and silent,
"Liz where are you?" he asked aloud, he grabbed a coat and slipped on his trainers, no socks he knew he would regret that later but he didn't care he opened the door of the house to find Amelie standing there arm mid way through knocking,
"Um, Hi" Shane said stupidly
"Where are you going at one in the morning?" She asked,
"Um well actually I was about to come and speak with you" Shane said
"Why would you want to see me?" she asked
"Well um it's about Elizabeth, I…she left and she hasn't come back…I was worried about her." Shane said unsure if she would think him stupid
"You mean she's not here?" Amelie asked she sounded worried,
"No" Shane answered "Why are you here?" Shane asked suddenly,
"My daughter came to me a few hours ago, we spoke, I sent her home and advised I would be by shortly to speak with you both…you mean to tell me she hasn't been back since she spoke with me?" Amelie asked, Shane shook his head "Stay here, it will be safer for us to search until sunrise, do you have a mobile?" she asked, Shane nodded absentmindedly pulling the phone from his pocket, Amelie grabbed the phone and input a number, "You are to call this number immanently should she return home, do you understand"
"But I want to…"
"It is too dangerous for you until Sun-up and I do not believe my daughter would forgive me if I allowed anything to happen to you, so please stay here!" Amelie placed a cold hand on Shane's shoulder, "We will find her. Now please lock the door open it for no one but Elizabeth or myself, unless I ring you to advise otherwise." Shane nodded and locked to door behind Amelie.
