Chapter 13

"Listen hard and carefully. I am not a patient man and I won't hesitate to kill you so try not to get on my bad side, and just answer my questions. Where did you fly him too."? Johan snarled at the shivering man. "Don't even try to lie, a few of my men followed them here to you!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," The man stuttered. The grip on his throat tightened. "Remember when I said I'm not a patient man. We'll my patience had just run out."

*********** "So boss what did he tell you?" the head motorcyclist asked eagerly. Johan and the remaining of his crew had met the motorcyclist group in a bar about a town away. They had been cursing at an unknown stranger who had beaten all of them up. With a quick tap into their minds he had recognized Tristian. But his curiosity got the best of him when he was a little chit beside him. In fact Tristian was defending the girl.

(Haraman get rid of them.) he told his most trusted employee. "Gladly boss," the big burly shapeshifter said.

"You be wanting your payment now right?" Haraman asked the 5 bikers. They exchanged greedy looks and nodded their heads. "Then just follow me and I'll show you where we keep our loot. But you gotta swear you won't ever show any body," Haraman continued on with his little game sending the rest of Johan's crew leering looks.

They in turned chuckled back, and waved merrily at the bikers, snickering behind their backs.

"Any body else hungry for some meat. There's enough to go around," Johan said when the bikers were out of earshot.

"Actually I'm kind of hungry myself," Krow replied and jaunted after the retreating group.

"Well well Tristian. What are you up to now?" Johan mused. The pilot had been easy to read. "Why are you going to Vegas. You can't hide from me you know," he said softly into the air. "I'll find you soon enough." With that said he turned and motioned for the crew to follow.

"Well boys, are you up for some gambling. Because tomorrow we're heading to Vegas." (And I'll be seeing you soon enough Tristian.) he mused to himself.

************

(Tristian!) Charli whined (you're killing my leg) Looking up from his reading, he raised a questioning eyebrow at her.

Giggling she wiggled her foot and he quickly understood. Somehow he ended up sitting on her foot. "How did that happen?" he asked curiously.

Charli glanced at him sheepishly (Well they were getting cold so I stuck them behind your tush while you were reading and I didn't think you'd mind, but when I went to pull them off, my right foot got stuck)

He couldn't help it, but the same time she finished her explanations, his mouth started to curve upwards, and a few moments later laughter started spilling from it. She cringed at the sound, uncertain at his motive, but was quickly reassured when he bent forward and brushed a kiss upon her confused brow.

"Are you hungry," he asked her when his laughter subsided. She cocked her head to the side and a small grin emerged. (You bet. I think I could eat a horse) (Well doesn't that sound appetizing) he teased.

************ Later that night was he allowed to think of the change that occurred in both of them. Today they were civil to each other. Even on friendly terms. In fact it would've been no surprise to anyone that they were anything but soulmates.

He glanced at the sleeping figure on the bed and gently removed the covers that lay on top of her. For the time being he became entranced with the body beneath him. All the curves of her body looked soft and inviting. He remembered them and it seemed they had gotten more beautiful than before.

She rolled on to his side, her arms searching for something. He felt an odd feeling towards her unconscious actions. Was she looking for him?

(Tristian its cold. Give me back my blankets, or come and help me warm this bed. Please)

He glanced up startled. She neither stirred nor made any movements to hint that she was awake. He dropped the blankets slightly uncomfortable at being caught.

(Aren't you going to sleep?)

He glanced at the figure a moment longer before she turned her eyes on him and gave him a pleading look. He didn't anymore coaxing after that. He promptly got under the covers beside her and hesitantly slipped an arm around her waist. Charli in turn snuggled closer to him and rested her wrapped up arm on top of his waist.

(How's your arm doing?) (Well its still numb, but it doesn't hurt as much.) Then she playfully added (Just try not to squish it tonight okay)

He didn't realize it right there and then, but an unmistakable change had swept over them. Whether it was because they were coming to terms with their situation, or because they had both accepted it, but after tonight their lives would never be the same. Not after what would happen next.

************** Know whats weird. My spacebar is kind of acting weird. But anyway I know its incredible short, but I am still in the process of finishing the plot. I have somewhat an idea on what's going to happen next, but I might change my mind before that soo.please do keep reading!

I have a very weird question to ask you. Did you at one point last year have a diary at Teenopendiary.com or something like that? Well I shall definently try to use less cussing or just block them out for you. So sorry if that offended you, but just to let you know I am Catholic too, so I understand your reasons for it. Kinda makes me look bad doesn't it! LOL
