Hey guys! Still no phone or laptop, but I'm managing… somehow. I'm gonna reclaim/get a new phone this weekend and I'll inherit my sister's laptop, so I'll probably be good by next week. Congrats to NerdyBarista for winning my contest, "Reasonable Doubt" is the name of Jay-Z's first album, and an all-time hip-hop classic. You guys seemed to respond positively to the idea, so I'm likely gonna do contests with most of my fics. My next fic definitely will be the old cast, either DxG or BxG (don't like, don't read!) Anyway, aside from all that, here's Chapter 4!


Dawn was in a state of utter shock. Not only from the kiss, but from the fact that B had just spoken. Never once before had she ever heard him speak. It even said in his aura that he never did. But then again, it hadn't been the first time that week she was incorrect with her readings.

"You… you spoke." Dawn managed out.

B nodded.

"And… you said that you… loved me."

Another nod.

"So are we officially going out now?"

Yet another nod.

"That's wonderful… I've never had a boyfriend before. Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

This time, B shook his head. Dawn was getting slightly annoyed by this point. She knew it was part of B's personality, but she couldn't help being a bit peeved that he was still silent around her now.

"You know, I am your girlfriend now, it would be beneficial for you to talk to me." Dawn teased.

B merely shrugged, partly due to his nature, and partly just to continue their little game - a game he intended to win. He certainly had the talent to do so. Dawn pouted for a bit. She really did want him to talk more, to open up to her. They were a couple now, after all. But alas, she soon she gave in. They had already hooked up that day, therefore she couldn't really ask for much more. After a quick kiss, the new couple went to spend their day relaxing at the resort.


As the game went on, the other contestants piled in. Sam, Brick, the now mutated Dakota , Mike, and Jo all soon found themselves at the resort. Thankfully, most of the contestants had now discovered Scott's evil ways, and any claims against Dawn or B were now proven as lies. Life at the resort was very comfortable, much better than living on the island. Dawn eventually taught Sam and Dakota to meditate. It was a good skill to learn for them both, as it helped with Sam's gaming addiction (albeit only slightly) and with the Dakota's fits of rage (a side effect of the mutation.)

She was also helping Mike out with his personalities. He had made big strides in controlling them, but they still relapsed on occurrences. Dawn was looking deep in Mike's divided aura trying to search for the root of his problem, for she knew people were never born with this condition. She sensed abuse as a child before he was adopted, and he had never gained full grasp of his actual personality. They were making clear progress, and with a bit more work, it appeared that Mike would banish his personalities forever.

Dawn also helped Brick develop more of a personality of his own, and get a grasp on his own thoughts and ideas, rather than just strictly listening to orders. As for Jo… Dawn offered to help her try to find the root of her competitive spirit. She sensed some self-consciousness and some humiliation as a child as well. However, Jo wasn't quite as receptive to that information as others, considering that she threated to beat in her skull if she tried her "creepy aura shit" on her. Naturally, Dawn opted to avoid that.

All the while, B and Dawn's relationship made great strides as well. If they were able to understand each other well before, they practically read each other's minds now. Though B was starting to come out of his shell more, they still needed few words to communicate. They actually preferred this silent communication over verbal interaction. The silence was a symbol of their bond, it showed that they didn't need words to have a strong, healthy relationship.

One day as they sat in the minibar, B spoke up. "What is it specifically that you like about me?"

Dawn smiled, as she knew that had been on his mind for a while. It was a bit unfair that she was fully prepared, but everything she said was straight from the heart.

"I liked you from the minute I saw your aura. Never have I seen such a pure blend of purple and green. Both are colors that symbolize qualities that all humans should strive for: honesty, kindness, acceptance, hard-working, just… I could go on for ages. You're a very complex individual, you're very balanced. You're the smartest person I've ever met, and quite physically adept as well. You can work technology I could only dream of operating, yet you're good at all the simple things as well… like knowing how to make a girl happy… inside and out, you're the most fascinating person I've ever met."

B smiled. "You knew I was going to ask you that, didn't you."

Dawn giggled in reply. "Yes, I did. I saw it in your aura."

B rolled his eyes. Her aura reading definitely gave her the upper hand at times.

"But now," Dawn said, "I'm going to put you on the spot. What is it you like about me?"

B froze. He really was put on the spot here. He was never really good with words. That's why he preferred to stay silent. He didn't want to keep Dawn waiting, so he just said the first things that came to his mind.

"You fascinate me as well… Never in my life have I ever come across anything that... could just blow my mind. You do this routinely. Theway that you can read auras, communicate with animals, it's simply amazing. You can look past the fact I don't talk much… you look for the person inside that. No one's ever tried to do that before. It was always trying to get me to talk first. I don't know… everything you do just intrigues me to no end. You're beautiful… inside and out."

Dawn didn't need to read his aura to know his words were sincere. The look in his eyes said it all. The genuine emotion, the honesty that conveyed from both speeches, it spoke volumes of how they both felt about the other.

"Shall we go in the pool now?"

B nodded. After a while, they got bored of swimming. Without much else to do, they ended up going in the hot tub and making out. Nothing else really happened until nighttime. Everyone was sitting by the spa, talking and laughing amongst each other. Suddenly, a loud scream was heard from the air. A body hit the ground with a loud thud. Groaning, the figure stood up. It was Scott.

You had to figure at some point, right? Yeah, the ending was a bit rushed. It's kind of becoming a habit… Sorry for taking so long to post, I had a bad case of writer's block. Thanks again to NerdyBarista for your suggestions, they actually really helped me lay a foundation for this chapter. It really helped me get going. As for the bit with Mike, I got curious about MPD and looked it up, it said that abuse was usually the reason it forms. I didn't exactly love putting in that bit, but it only seemed logical. I'm not really sure how far I'll take this story, I just see where it goes. Spring break starts next week for me, so I'll update more frequently then. Thank you all so much for being so supportive thus far. As always, suggestions are welcomed, and please review!
