Heya people! Be warned, this chapter contains adorableness and the first appearance of the 'Thief Lord'! Super excited!

Here it is:

Chapter 4

Scip's POV

I awoke that morning with my arms around something soft. I felt something pressing against my chest and a light material under my chin. When I looked down I panicked.

Mellina POV.

When my eyes opened I felt strong, but caring and gentle arms around me. My face has being held tightly to someone's chest and a chin rested on my head. It must be him. My Thief Lord. Here to look after me. The arm's abruptly relaxed and pulled away. But I didn't want him to leave yet.

Scip's POV

Dammit Scipio! You have only known her for a day! One damn day! Get out of there before she wakes up! I slowly removed my arms and tried to push myself away from her, but as I did so, Millena snuggled back into my chest. She must still be asleep. If I can wriggle away slowly enough...

'Thief Lord?' Fuck - I cursed in my head - now I am totally screwed.
'Don't leave. I want to know who you are.'
She tried to look up but I grasped her tightly, bringing her face towards my chest.
'No. Let's leave it a mystery.' I said in my most husky and manly fake voice. 'Go back to sleep.'

As I held her tightly in my arms I felt... Different. I felt like I had something important to look after. It was like when I was first looking after Bo, but much stronger. Like I...

No. I wasn't going to say that. I have never said that. And I never will.

When she finally drifted off to sleep again, I moved away and realized I needed to change my shirt, now that she must have seen me in it. Being too lazy I opted to just take off the shirt and chuck it in the wardrobe. Then I changed my pants for good measure. I didn't really have anywhere to go today, so I lay in the hammock near my bed and watched Millena as she slept.
She was actually very pretty. I wondered what her intellect what like so I opened her bag and looked at the titles of the books she was reading. 'Pride and Prejudice', 'The Lord of the Ring's' trilogy, all of the 'Harry Potter' books... Wow. 'Someone likes adventure...' I whispered to myself. 'Well you've come to the right place!'

Sorry! Only a short one!

Until the next chapter
