Demi and Naya had spent the last few days exploring the area. Being cooped up in the house didn't fare well with the pair, despite them having each other. So they managed to persuade the men guarding the house to allow them to atleast stay within a half a mile.

Naya was surprised that Demi was so outdoorsy. Demi practically took to nature like she was born in it. Her eyes lighting up as she twirled around the tree's laughing like a child. Naya really didn't understand the woman's excitement. But seeing the other girl so happy was enough for her.

Demi had taught Naya a bit about the plants outside. She pointed out the Lilies and the tulips that grew wild around the trees. She even picked her a pure white rose from a bush.

Naya wondered how the girl managed to avoid the thorns, seeing the thing was littered with them. But took the rose and placed it in a cup of water when they got back to the house.

Demi promised her things, things that if it were with any other person she would have denied. One of them was fishing. Naya hated fishing. Her father did it all the time with their family. She was never one to partake.

But Naya knew if she denied the girl, it would bring out a bout of sadness. She couldn't stand to see that, so reluctantly. Naya had agreed.

That night, Demi didnt come to bed until atleast midnight. She had been out picking worms for their 'fishing date'. Secretly, Naya was pleased to find the girl had showered after. Not that it would have really mattered. Dirty or not, she wanted to fall asleep with the girl in her arms.

And thats just what they did.

...

The next morning, Demi had woken her before. Yes, before sunrise. Naya thought murderous thoughts. "6am should be illegal ,and anyone who is up should be flogged."

Demi chuckled, pulling at the girl."Maybe i'll let you !" She gave the girl another tug, successfully pulling her off the bed and onto the floor.

Naya still didn't move, face first on the floor , grumbling like an old woman. "I hate before sunrise." She mumbled. "Cant we just go when I wake up..." She then felt the smaller girl crawl onto her back, straddling her waist. She traced along the exposed parts of the Latina's skin, gaining a shiver of delight from the other girl.

"Come on Naya." Demi said in a sing-song tone. "Then we can play after..."

Naya almost took the bait, but decided to play the sleepy tired girl bit for a little while longer. Fake yawning, she brought her arms to her head like a mock pillow. "5 more minutes mami"

Demi frowned, thinking that she hadn't quite made her point. She grinded against the girl, her jeans bringing up the Latina's shirt to expose about an inch of her back. "Nayaaaa" Demi whispered. "Come on Naya, you know you want to..." Demi tried her best to purr, but it came out more of a growl.

Naya squirmed slightly, feeling the girl on her bare skin. "Not fair..." She whined.

Demi chuckled, kissing the back of the girl's neck."You love me."

Naya managed to flip around, grabbing the girl by the scruff of her shirt and pulling her into a messy kiss. "I do. " She purred. "Cant we just wait until tomorrow?" She still held the girl's collar, tugging on it gently. "I'm feeling in the mood for something different."

Demi rose an eyebrow and smirked. "No, Were going fishing. Trust me. You'll love what i have planned for you."

Demi leaned in to bite the girl's lip somewhat roughly which in turn made the Latina moan and release her hold on the other girl's shirt. Demi took this chance to rise from the girl. Walking toward the door. "You have 10 minutes, or i'm taking the boat out without you."

Naya gave her a pouty lip that she didnt see, then groaned, getting dressed quickly. Naya found herself not caring about her appearance while she was around Demi. She didn't need makeup or fancy clothes. She could wake up with Cthulu hair and eye liner wiped across her face and Demi still looked at her like she was the most beautiful creature on the planet. Though, Naya knew this part not to be true.

Because Demi was the only person to fit that part.

With those thoughts in mind, she walked down the stairs, out the door, and to the pond. As promised, Demi waited inside of the small row boat. Two fishing poles were seen hanging un baited over the side.

"Good, I thought you were going to wimp out on me Rivera!" Demi Exclaimed.

Naya gave the girl a hurt look. "Me, miss this?" She said with sarcasm. "NEVER!"

Both of the girls let out a laugh as Demi motioned her to the boat.

"Enough of the sass Naya, Get in this boat or else." Demi waggled her finger at the girl like she was scolding her.

"Or else what? You'll take the boat out without me?" Naya groaned, trying to get into the boat and not fall in the water.

Demi grabbed her, pulling her in. "No..." She pulled the girl in for another kiss. So their playful taunting did get a rise out of the smaller girl. Naya smiled in victory. "It just means after we wont enjoy that shower together."

Naya quirked a brow. "Shower?"

Demi nodded, her face completely serious. "Yea! I mean, after this. were going to be pretty dirty. All those fish we catch, and i'm sure theres bound to be spots I cant reach-"

Naya took an ore quickly, pushing it from the docking area. "Fishing, right now Lovato. No more talking." her eyes held a look of hunger that Demi had never seen before.

Demi chuckled, taking one of the poles in her hands, baiting it like she had done this a thousand times.

...

"AhhhhhhCHOOO!" Demi sneezed, curling up into the blanket while sitting on the couch.

Naya looked miserable, she held a cup of tea in her hands , placing it in front of the sick girl. "I said i was sorry..."

Demi furrowed her eyebrows. "You pushed me in the pond!" she yelled, earning another sneeze in response.

Naya held up a box of tissues , trying to make this less painful for the girl. "Well...You threw a FISH in my lap thinking it was funny!"

Demi tried to laugh, but coughed instead ,taking a breath. " Well, It kinda was...Your face was priceless."

Naya narrowed her eyes at the girl. 'I'm gonna make you some soup...Though i should just let you suffer...Fish thrower..."

Demi pouted her lip. "Your not the one whos sick Naya...I want my cuddles..."

Naya laughed. "Hell no Lovato. I'm not the sharing type, remember." she gave the girl a wink. "Not my fault you got sick from a dip in a pond."

Demi shivered, cuddling into the blanked further. "It was COLD and now i have a COLD... This is all your fault!"

Yeah, It was. Naya didn't need to shove the girl into the water. But she would take care of her while she was sick. After all, this is what you did for the person you loved, right?"I'll be back Demi, let me make you some soup."

Demi crossed her arms and pouted. "You just wait...I will get my revenge."

Naya smirked, leaving the room. " We'll see about that sicky face."

Naya could hear the girl coughing from the other room, damn did she feel guilty. Shifting through the cupboards, she pulled out a box of lipton chicken noodle soup. She didnt even wait for the water in the pot to boil, pouring the contents into the half full pot of water.

Turning on the stove, she heard the girl try to suppress a series of 5 sneezes, all coming out in a squeak. Naya sighed. "God damnit..."

Pulling out her phone, she pressed the call button. "Tom? Yeah, Demi's got a cold...How fast can you get someone here...

...

About 7 hours actually. Thats how log it took one of Erickson's attendants to get to the safe house.

Erickson herself couldn't make it, she had surgeries that day, and seeing she was the most recent doctor that had looked after Demi, law enforcement demanded it be her that provided her care.

Naya was not happy about this, and was even less about the fact that she had sent one of her lacky's and not come herself.

His name was Darius Garrick. He was 2 years out of Med school and was top of his program. Law enforcement made him sign waivers and made him swear to secrecy about the location of the women.

Naya had to admit, he was a very good doctor. He had seen, and promptly treated Demi faster than she had ever seen a practitioner aide a patient. But there was something about him she didnt like, he was too nervous. Not to mention, he was asking far too many questions.

As much as she hated to Admit it. Naya had wished that Erickson had made the trip. Erickson may have been a bitch 5 ways to Sunday. But at least she knew that she could trust her with Demi.

Dr Garrick finished up with Demi, giving her instructions to go along with her medication. Naya thought he was done, when he turned to face her. She crossed her arms, glaring at him ." Yeah, What do you want?" Naya all but snapped.

Garrick seemed to give his best confused look. "Well, I was instructed to examine you too. You were exposed to this as well. Were you not? While i'm here I should check and see if your vitals are normal."

Naya gave the man a sneer. "I'm Fin- AHHHhhhChOO!"

Demi all but rolled on the floor laughing. "See Naya! Sharing is caring!"

Naya shot a glare at the other girl. "Damnit all! You and your plague!" She sniffed involuntarily.

All Demi could do was chuckle as Dr. Garrick examined her. Taking out his note pad, he scribbled a few things down.

"Well Ms. Rivera, I think you may have contracted what Ms. Lovato has. " He reached into his bag, taking out the same clear colored liquid he had given to Demi. "Now, We may have caught this early enough where we can nip it in the bud before it goes into a full blown cold. Take this, follow the instructions on the bottle, and you and Ms. Lovato should be right as rain in a few days." He gave her a smile.

Naya didnt return it, There was something in that smile that made her squirm. Hes hiding something. she thought to herself. Hes being way too fake.

Though Garrick seemed confused by her coldness. He retrieved his supplies and bid the girl's a farewell.

Both Tom and Chris had refused to come into the infected zone. Neither one wanted to get sick. Naya made it a point to text message both of them after everyone had left and tell them how they were both on a new level of Asshole.

Demi shook her head. 'I dont know why you were so mean to him." She spoke softly. "He was really nice."

Naya sighed, taking a seat next to Demi. "Theres just something about him. I dont know what. But he doesn't seem trustworthy. No one and i mean no one is that nice."

Demi rolled her eyes. "One's too bitchy, and one's too nice. Nothing can please you can it Rivera?"

Naya grabbed some of the covers, crawling into them to hold Demi in her arms. She already had the Plague, this didn't matter anymore. "I just don't trust him...We should probably have Chris and Tom keep an eye on him to be safe."

Demi shrugged. "I just think your on High alert because of Briggs. Dont worry Naya, Hes not going to find us. We're too well hidden." She coughed and sneezed almost directly after, wiping her nose with a tissue. "I hate being sick..."

Naya held the girl closer. "I'll take care of you. Dont you worry Demi Girl."

Demi smiled, resting her head on the Latina's chest. "So i'm going to guess no more fishing?"

Naya let out a harsh laugh. "No, No fishing ever again."

...

Briggs sat in front of the computer, he had not heard anything in days. Nothing at all. There were no emails aside from the one's he used to track the money he was having brought to him. He was beginning to panic. This was not going according to plan.

A few nights, he had woken himself from a dead sleep to start an email to his informant. But stopped himself. Even though the threat of the files he had in his possession loomed over his informant's head. He knew that they could just as easily turn him into the police and he'd be right back in a jail cell.

Briggs hated the waiting game.

It had been a few hours since his last obsessive staring spell at the computer screen. He laid in his bed, trying to catch some sleep , when the ping of an email erupted in his ears.

Scrambling off his bed, he saw the email was from his informant. In haste, he clicked on it.

Change of plans, new information has been brought to light. Expect it by morning. It is password encrypted. You will get the password once I get confirmation and proof of the file's deletion.

Karl was shaking with excitement. His next words came out without much thought.

Deal, I will not contact you anymore after this is done.

Karl could wait another day , he had what he needed. Or would have what he needed. This truly was a blessed day. He was receiving his money from over seas, he was gaining valuable information about the women's whereabouts, and most importantly. He would soon see Demi Again.

And decimate the bitch that held her captive.

...

Sorry about the shortness. I have to go to practice tonight as well as tomorrow in preparation for our bout on Saturday night. Sadly, they will be shorter these next few days because of Real life.

But i will keep my promise and Write as much as i can whenever I can.

Cheers!
