"Hey where did you come from, here get out of the rain," Lex opening the window for the black bird to hop thought her window, her room was dark and falling apart hardly no heat not suitable for a girl. All she had was one little blanket that hardly covered her, the crow flew into her room and landed on her chair, she had no bed, the only books she had were the nickel comic books that were all about Eric. She lit some candles and sat them in a circle around her and put the blanket around her and started rocking back and forth,

there is no one that loves me, no one that cares, Lex thought as she finally lays in the floor curled into a ball and fell asleep. She had a dream she was there with Eric, the one she had waited for to come,

"Eric Draven, I read about you," Lex trying to talk to the dark creature, he appeared out of the darkness and seemed to have paint on his face, Lex was surprised and wakes up breathing a bit hard.

"Lex," Eric whispers,

"Eric, you gave me a fright in my dream, why have you come," Lex puzzled, he saw her shaking from the cold, he stood in the candle light, took his trench coat off and placed it around Lex's shoulder.

"I saw you looking at me in a book, I heard what you thought, I want you to come with me and live in my apartment, it's a bit warmer there than it is here," Eric squatting down,

"I couldn't, I cant leave this place," Lex hurt,

"it has a bed and more blankets," Eric explained.

"But my mom, I cant leave her with my father, she will die," Lex thinking of how her father beats her and her mother.

"Could you come and at least talk with me," Eric wanting to be near her, to understand her, to be with someone who understood him,

"yes, but I have no way out of here, cause my father would kill me if I were to go out after dark," Lex remembering the scars and pain,

"I can get you out of here if you want to come with me," Eric seriously,

"if you can only get me back in without my father knowing," Lex looking at him with her frail eyes.

"I can get you back in too," Eric getting up and putting his hand out for Lex to take, she took his hand and he helped her up, but her scar on her wrist showed, he saw it and she quickly covered it up.

"I already know what you have done, its okay, I want you to hold on to my neck cause we are going to fly out of this window okay," he picks her up in his arms, she groans,

"what is it," Eric putting her back down, knowing she had been hurt,

"I am okay, lets go," Lex eagerly to hang out with him, he picks her back up and runs and jumps out of the window, Lex almost screams,

"your hurt," Eric getting her on the bike,
