As Matt woke the next morning he found Annie's tails still wrapped around him and her still in the same position as last night. This time he was awake and felt everything. So to make sure it won't be as awkward as it already is he maneuvered out of her grip and for the first time he was first awake so he grabbed his cloths for the day and headed for the shower. He closed the door and locked it he turned the water on and stripped down. He then jumped in and washed himself off. This only took a few minutes after he wrapped a towel around his waist and headed to the sink. He got shaving cream out and opened his cut throat razor. Looking at it he noticed it was duller then usual so he took a fine sharpening stone and ran the blade across it's surface. Then he rubbed the cream on his face and started to shave. About midway through he heard three raps on the door. Hearing this he headed over and opened it to see the cyclops standing there covered in soot.
"Hey you want to take a shower don't ya alright go ahead I won't look I have to finish shaving anyway." Matt said letting her in before turning back to the mirror.
" By the way where were you last night I went to check on you and you weren't in your room. I also don't know your name." He finished with concern as he washed his razor off and toweling his face off before dabbing some aftershave on.
"I was working in the forge to make you a thank you gift for how kind you were to me and Annie. As for my name it is Samantha Romand but please call me Samy." She spoke with a soft voice as she took her cloths off and stepped in the tub.
"Alright well breakfast will be ready in about thirty minutes." Matt said as he pulled a pair of jeans on along with a shirt that said "BLACK STALLIONS." on the front with a black horse on the back with a inscription around it reading "ON THE RUN" and throwing the cloths he wore last night in the hamper.
As he walked out he saw Crista walking down the hall yawning. Instantly smelling Matt due to the aftershave he put on. Within that minute they were in the same positing they were in when they officially met Face to breast.
"Good to see you too." Matt said lifting the girl up off him.
"Really thank you hey can you take me over to the gym I want to work out for about three hours!" The kobold said almost having her words jumble together.
"Yea I can after breakfast." Matt said laying her next to him before getting up and helping her up.
"Thanks Matt!" she said before dashing to the bathroom.
Chuckling to himself he walked down the stairs to find Sarah walking up yawning and rubbing her eyes. Then she walked to the kitchen and popped in a Mixed CD containing several top hits from ACDC ,Guns N Roses ,Aerosmith, Green day, Bon Jovi ,and Black Sabbath. No sooner the song Living on a Prayer came on and Matt went to the kitchen to see Sarah waking up with help of coffee. He started breakfast for the people in his home. And after about thirty minutes of cooking and rock n roll playing the food was done. Then after smelling the bacon Crista roused all the occupants of the house and heading them down into the den which took only two minutes in total. Matt then looked out his window and looked back in utter weariness written on his face. The others followed suit and saw it had snowed Seven feet over the night. The doors were frozen and the wall outside was thick.
"Well I'm sorry Crista but I'll have to clear the door and melt the ice so till that happens no gym yet but working this will take a long while and snow will tire you. You want to help?" Was what drew the winter gear out.
The wall blocking the door must be demolished or at least tunneled through. Their only chance was if they could burrow down from the top an make a tunnel from the door out. And that is what was done. After breakfast Matt grabbed a shovel and pulled on a pair of black boots after some white fleece lined pants and stuffed the cuffs into the boots. Over his shirt he bore a hooded heavy white jacket. He marched to the second story window just over the front door. There was a large wall just under him. He saw this and jumped with a shovel and bucket in hand out the window Crista following along with Sarah and Annie then after they got out Loraine shut the window.
After about thirty minutes of shoveling and compressing snow which was used to stabilize the hole made they were through the top and at the door. The line of ice was clear but not to thick. It still ran around the door. So digging a hammer and chisel out of a pocket in his jacket Matt got to work. The girls were starting a tunnel system around the house to Samy's forge. After ten minutes the door was open again. The girls have gotten to the forge and were surprised to find that there was a seven yard radios around it that was free of snow and a blade on the work bench. They also saw that Samy was outside with them making a multi use hatchet. She soon noticed her spectators and Matt walked through the side door that was next to them with a railroad spike in his hand. He then took a pair of tongs and embedded it in the red coals. He pulled on a leaver that activated a pump at the bottom of the furnace that puffed air in the flame. He took his coat off and rolled the sleeves of his shirt up. Samy put her project back into the coals. After twenty minutes he pulled the white hot spike out and while Samy held the sake on the anvil with the tongs she watchdog the host work.
After a good twenty minutes of striking one side and rotating the spike the blade was drawn out and it was a good start to a fighting knife. It was a dark red now so it was put back in the coals and the smiths waited for three more minutes before Samy pulled her new blade out and Matt held it as she struck the head defining the blade and giving it a image of a bearded ax. After this small amount of work it went into the flame once more to bring it to temperature for heat treat and tempering. By this time Matt's new knife was back to a white. This time he made the tip into a clip point and pre be lied the edge but before he did anything else Matt cut the spare metal off of the back and put it into a small foundry he had made a wile ago. Samy also said that the blade was still hot enough for heat treat. So Matt stuck it into a vat of oil near them. He then walked to the belt sander and started to grind the cutting edge sharp. After about ten minutes in the foundry the steel was liquid and Matt pulled a pommel and hand guard mold that he carved into refractory bricks. Then after the metal cooled down to a near solid state he dumped the contents out into the wall of snow surrounding him and Samy.
All of this time Crista and Annie hand tunneled around the house and were thoroughly wiped out but got back to the forge as Matt was cleaning the pommel and guard of the knife. He had also carved a deer antler he had to fit the blade perfectly as well as the new parts. The finished product was amazing. Sammy was impressed at it as it was his making and it was perfectly made. She had also finished her project about three hours beforehand and watched him work. After testing if the blade was sharp enough to shave he wiped it and turned to the smith. He kneeled and with the blade in both hands presented it to the girl who was shocked. After a minute she took the blade in her right hand as to see if it was her size. But to her surprise she saw that it was perfect for her. She the put it on the table gently and picked up a gladiolus and the hatchet. She took them and pressed them into Matt's hands. He costed them and gave her a smile and picked himself up off the ground. He walked to the door and opened it and held it open as the girls filled in he then grabbed his jacket and closed the door.
"Like the knife Samy?" He asked as he saw her in the den starring at the weapon made for her hands.
"Yes it's beautiful. I can see everything in the steel. I can't believe that you pounded my full name on the hilt and in cursive writing on top of that." She said admiringly.
"You did the same to the weapons you made me. Besides I still need to make a sheath for the things." He said with a smile earning one from the smith.
"Well it's still only three I will see what I can get done by dinner at five. Oh yeah order a two large pizzas with help from the girls at about 4:30." Matt said walking back out to the work bench.
He had taken all the measurements for the sword ,knife, and hatchet and the sheaths for each one was done as the pizzas came in. Sarah had got him as he finished the last stitch for the knife sheath. He had finished the sword and hatchet first to save time. But in any case the work was done and he was tired. He paid for the pizza and added a slightly bigger tip than normal for the trouble of going though the tunnels that the girls bug out. Surprisingly got lost. Twice! But after it was all said and done he dished out the food. Two slices each and a small pool of garlic butter on the side for the crust. The gang ate their fill and soon the shot glasses were out again as well as the moonshine Matt had. He was down to the last bit and needed to get more from a friend who made and sold it. But luck would have it that there was enough for one round of shots for them all.
"To family new and old!" Was the toast for that night. After he and everyone was done he put the knife sheath over the blade to see if it fit. And it did it sat firm in the case. Matt then moved the two straps over the hilt and clicked the button in place. He then looked around the house to find Samy reading in her room. He knocked and after he heard a "come in." From the other side he opened the door. For the first time since he met Samy he saw her figure firsthand. She had tanned skin and long golden hair with a bright green eye. She sat up seeing Matt and he caught movement from her breasts. He also noted that they were huge. But keeping a clear mind he presented the knife and sheath to her again and she took it off him. Kissing his forehead as a thank you. He also noticed he was dog tired. As he turned he heard Samy cringe.
"Um Matt you got a nasty burn on your arm. You arm I think you should have Loraine check it out." She said as she looked on with concern.
"Alright then I will after my shower." He said with obvious fatigue.
"Just take care of that okay." Samy said with a concerned grin.
"Trust me I will." Matt said walking out of the room.
He walked to his room and grabbed his bed cloths and headed to the bathroom. He walked in and seeing nobody there he turned the water on and let it run over him. He looked down as the sot from the forge washed from his face and hair. He then got out and dried himself off. He pulled the cloths on and made the comb to the attic. He rapped three times on the latch and heard Lorain say "enter" and he did.
"Hey Loraine can you give me a hand?" Matt asked tapping his arm that was burned.
"What did you do this time Mathew?" Lorain asked with a voice as of a mothers asking why her son looked guilty of something.
"Burn." Matt said back turning his back to her to let her see the injury.
"Okay lay down on the hammock and keep your arm stretched out." Loraine said walking to the bag of medical supplies that she had stored.
"Alright." Was Matt's answer.
He laid down as told. As Lorain studied the injury she grimaced at what she had to do next. Matt had gotten a shard of hot metal into his arm and it cauterized the wound instantly. In the terms of treatment she had to cut Matt's arm open pull the piece of metal and bandage it again. So she got the things she needed. The objects included an exacto knife with a fine edge that was shade as a scalpel, hydrogen peroxide, corn pads, medical tape, and a small pair of tweezers. She told Matt to scream into a pillow. She made an incision ungovernable the metal and to thank the lord it was within reach the first time. So she took hold of the piece of metal and gave a quick pull and it came out. She then wiped the wound of blood poured a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in there and patched him up. He was then told to take some alive and get some sleep. He did as told and found Crista laying in his bed fast asleep. To tired to go down the stairs he crawled in beside her pulled the blanket up and went to seep felling Crista wrap her arms around his midsection.
