Note: short chapter, the next one is longer. And sorry about the long update with the last chapter, I went with my sister to my sister's boyfriends birthday party and I couln't get to a computer since it was out in the middle of the woods.
Anyways, here's the next chapter.

A secret place


The next night Catie slept fairly well, she still had nightmares but she tried to work through them.
"Catie, can I talk with you for a second?" Hercules asked.
"Sure" Catie said and they stepped outside the house. "What is it?"
"I want to show you something" Hercules said and took her hand and led her towards the woods. "I used to explore these woods when I was younger" He told her after a while.
"Hercules, could you slow down a bit?" Catie asked they were practicully running. Hercules slowed down a little but it was still going fast. "What is it that you get in such a hurry to show me?"
"This" Hercules answered and pushed a few bush branches away and it revealed a beautiful clearing. They stepped out into it and Catie was stunned, she didn't know what to say except,
"Wow." Hercules smiled.
"I used to come here whenever I was angry, I just sat here and let the sun melt my troubles away" Hercules told Catie.
"It's beautiful."
They sat down for a while and just sat there in silence, not a word was spoken until Hercules said that it was probably time to get back to the house so the others wouldn't get worried and Catie agreed. Hercules stood up and offered Catie a hand up, she took it and they walked back in normal pace. Hercules glanced at Catie and she was smiling. *Maybe it was a good thing taking her there* Hercules thought.
