Chapter 10

(Alaska)

Scott had dropped Brennan, and Fox off at the cottage, and wished Brennan good luck. Brennan thanked him for all his help, and also wished him a merry Christmas, as Christmas only a few short weeks away. He also thanked Scott for disengaging his sub dermal governor.

Brennan walked around to the back of the cottage, Fox at his side. He knew from all the information he had received from all the guards in the last three months that Adam, and Richard would have made Shalimar go back to Sanctuary whether or not she wanted. Every time Brennan had tried to escape, and got caught the guards gave him a hell of a beating. Brennan had taken that time to ask questions. He also knew that Shal was smart, and would have left the back door unlocked, and that Richard would be to wrapped up in Shalimar to pay any attention to a door.

Just as he thought the door was unlocked. He and Fox went inside, Brennan headed immediately towards the bedroom. Almost all of their stuff was still there which meant Richard had taken Shalimar back to Sanctuary without her consent. Brennan opened up Shalimar's nightstand, and found a letter inside addressed to him. Shalimar had written the letter while Richard was on the phone with Adam a few months earlier.

Dear Brennan,

If you're reading this then you made your way back to the cottage, hopefully sooner than later. I don't have much time but know that I'll never stop looking for you. I love you Bren, and I always will. There could never be anyone else for me, not even Richard. So just come back home, back to me. Never give up Brennan, and as I told you once before never loose faith. I love you Brennan.

XOXO Shalimar XOXO

After reading the letter Brennan was almost in tears. Shalimar was the main he reason he kept taking beatings. He had to get back to her somehow, but he didn't know how just yet. He had a deadline for himself as well; he wanted to get back to his family before Christmas.

(Sanctuary)

Richard, Emma, and Jesse had just arrived home after a long night, so Emma, and Jesse went to wash up before they went to bed. Richard on the other hand decided to go check up on Shalimar.

(Fifteen Minutes Late- Outside Shalimar's room)

Richard knocked on Shalimar's door softly not wanting to wake her up if he was sleeping. When she didn't answer he opened the door only to find an empty bed. Using his feral abilities he sensed out Shalimar to make sure she was still as Sanctuary. Indeed she was still at Sanctuary but in Brennan's room.

//Huh, I wish she was sleeping in my bed.// Richard thought as he headed back to his room ticked off.

//Tomorrow I think I'll have a chat with Shalimar about what happened after I dies.// With that last thought Richard closed his bedroom door, and went to bed.

(Brennan's Room)

In Brennan's room Shalimar was dreaming peacefully. She dreamt of the first time she kissed Brennan, after the whole Noel incident. She remembered how cute he looked his Harley. She also dreamt of one of her favourite moments. Which was when she walked in on Brennan playing his guitar after they got back from the courthouse where Vic was testified. It felt so good to have him hold her so close. At the time she would have never admitted it though.

Meanwhile Adam was trying to sleep but not having much luck. He was worried about Shalimar, and the fact that she had built a wall around herself when it came to him, and Richard. He knew Shalimar, and Brennan were very close but he hadn't realised how much Brennan meant to Shalimar. Adam was starting to regret what he had done, but he knew if Shalimar ever found out exactly what he had done she would never forgive. He was also certain with time that Shalimar would get over Brennan, and when she did she would see Richard, a nice guy, and a fellow feral, right there in front of her, again.
