Chapter 7
To Safety

"Mr. Warren Earnest? The story was confirmed; you are free to go. Your. . . girlfriend. . . is here to take you out." The guard checked his clipboard, and opened the cell door.
He turned to see a very upset Evie standing beside the guard. It looked as though she had been in tears for a while.
He didn't move for some time, but eventually sat up, and moved towards the door, as if in a trance.
'Evie?" He asked, confused, as if it couldn't possibly be happening.
She began to sob, and locked her arms around his chest.
Warren didn't react.
"What happened?"
Evie sniffled, and led him out the cellblock. "I told them what happened. The people I left Ash with confirmed. They found that mans' fingerprints around. They said they found a blade hidden under his pant leg and that you're lucky he didn't get to it."
She walked the entire way clutched to his arm.
He still didn't speak much, and set his eyes on the ground.
She stopped the car in front of their house and turned to him. "Are you ok?"
"Fine."
Evie looked at him deeply. "You don't seem fine. You've barely said anything since last night. You did what you had to do. You saved me and Ash! That man would have killed us."
Warren finally looked into her eyes. "But the only reason he was after you was because of me; because I am with you."
"That is my choice." She touched the side of his face and he leaned into it.
"I knew what the dangers were; but it dosen't matter. I love you, and I chose to be with only you. I have taken you as my Mate. And by your actions last night, I know you have taken me as yours'. It dosen't matter what comes our way; we will deal with it together. Isn't that what you told me before?"
Warrens' eyes shone with tears, and he gave the first true smile since Marcus showed up.
He took her in a deep kiss, and when they finaly broke from it, he smiled.
"I think it's time we leave this city for a better one."
Evie smiled and nodded.

A short one, but it's all that needed to be said in this chapter.

Once again, I do not own the original Grimm characters.
I lay claim to Warren, Evie and Ash.
