Note: Just wanted to say thank you to Melinda Wyatt Charmed for the review, I am always happy when I get a review from you.

As Derik looked around he realized that they were standing in the attic. When he turned to look at Melinda she was already looking through the Book of Shadows for the map.

"You think it's in there?" He asked walking to stand by her. He stud very close, close enough that he was almost touching her, making men shiver.

"Well, I hope so. I mean I have no idea where else they would have put it." She told him. "Evil beings can't touch the book so I would say that is the safest place to hid it."

"But haven't you looked through the book hundreds of times?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said confused at why he was asking.

"Then don't you think you may have seen it before?"

She knew he was right but she was not about to let him out smart her again. "Well…Yes, but it is possible that they put a spell on the map so you could not see it." She told him still flipping through the book.

Derik smiled knowing that she was trying to make him sound stupid for once. "Oh…okay, but if you can't see it then why are you still looking for it." He asked.

Frustrated she slammed the book shut. "Do you always have to be right?!" She asked in a very angry tone.

Derik just laughed to himself, he thought it was so cute how mad she would get when she was wrong and he was right. "Most of the time…..Yes." He replied.

Melinda gave him a fake smile, which quickly changed to a frown. "Fine, smart ass, what's your idea?" She asked looking up at him.

Derik looked down at her, she was so beautiful, and he just sat there staring into her eyes. After a minute she looked down. Realizing he was staring he answered the question. "Um…..We could……Maybe…….I don't know." He told her truthfully.

She could not believe what she was hearing. He didn't know! "Wait…..What? Did you just say you didn't know?"

"Yeah."

"I never thought I would ever hear you say 'you didn't know'." She was slightly shock. But after a moment her smile was gone. If he didn't have a plan and she didn't have a plan, then how would they find the map. She slowly turned around and walked to the couch sitting down.

Derik watched Melinda as she walked to the couch. What had happened on minute she was laughing and the next she looked like she was going to cry? "What's wrong." He asked as he moved to sit next to her.

After a small time she finally answered his question trying not to cry. "Neither one of us has any idea where the map could be……I mean what are we going to do now?" She tried to hold back her tears but she was unable to.

He watched as she cried moving his hand to her back to rub it. "Its okay….We'll think of something." He told her.

She turned and nestled her head on his chest and he hugged her. "But what if you don't?" She asked.

"We will." He said whispering in her ear. He was happy with the physical contact between the two but he wish it was for a different reason.

After about five minutes Melinda's breathing started to slow. The two sating there in each others arms when Melinda quickly jumped up scaring the crap out of Derik.

"What?" He asked in shock, sad that he was not longer able to hold her.

"I can't believe I never thought about it." She said smacking herself in the head with the palm of her hand.

"What the hell are you talking about?"
"When I was little my mom would always tell me a story about this little witch who when on a dangerous trip to hid and evil book from the demons.

P.S. So tell me what you think!
