Author's notes: YAY! I'm finally getting reviews again! (Mainly from
Jackie, but it's all good, lol). A special thanks to Jaime (I hope I
spelled that right) for suggesting a certain something that's going to
happen in the next chapter (Jaime, I think you can see it coming, lol), and
to Jackie for agreeing to the idea and helping find a way to put it in.
Don't forget to review!
-Scholcomp25: Thanks for the review and kind comments.
-Jmistar688 (about your last 3 reviews): No problem for thanking you- you
deserve it! And I pity poor Eric if you ever do "shoot him with a shovel"
lol. Hmm, you know what's gonna happen next..maybe I should drag it out
and make you wait in suspense, lol. Naa, I'm not that evil.
-Ansem Snape: Thanks for the kind words and review!
Chapter 10: Running Away
Eric sat and watched Selina as she slept, feeling somewhat sorry for
her. However, he could not help but smile to himself, knowing that Selina
was now his once again, and seemed to love him. As time passed, Eric also
began to feel tired, and he soon found himself curling up beside Selina,
putting his arm around her, and falling asleep.
After talking for a few hours with no sign of the return of either
Selina or Eric, Voldemort and Severus decided to make sure they were all
right. They headed off towards Selina's room, and Severus knocked on the
door when they arrived. After a few moments of receiving no reply,
Voldemort spoke.
"Eric, Selina, are you in there?"
When there was no response again, they both burst into the room. However,
the sight that greeted them made them both smile. Selina and Eric were
still asleep beside each other, and Eric still had his arm around her.
"Looks like he was able to comfort her." Voldemort said.
"And that she's warmed up to him again." Severus added.
"But I think we should leave them alone, seeing as they're alright."
Voldemort said, heading out of the room again.
Severus nodded and followed, glancing back at Eric and Selina once more
before closing the door, and etching the sight into his memory forever.
Selina awoke a few hours later, feeling well rested. She sat up and
saw Eric sleeping beside her, his arm now in her lap. She was shocked that
he would have done such a thing without asking her if she was ok with it
first. She got up, and let Eric's arm fall to the bed. This caused him to
wake with a start and jump out of bed. He looked over at Selina.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Just fine." She replied angrily.
Eric went over to her and put his hands on her upper arms, looking at her
with concern in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Selina pulled out of his grasp.
"If you can't figure it out, then I'm not going to tell you!" She
exclaimed.
"Selina, I only want to know what's wrong, and fix it if I can." Eric
said, growing quite concerned now.
Selina heard the concern in his voice, and the anger left her.
"I know, I'm sorry. I was just a little uncomfortable when I woke up and
found you asleep beside me." She said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd mind because we're supposed to be
dating again." Eric said.
"Just because we're together again doesn't mean that I'm comfortable with
everything you do." Selina replied.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'll ask next time." Eric said.
"If there is a next time." Selina muttered so quietly that Eric didn't
hear. "Good, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going for a walk." She added in
a normal tone and leaving the room.
Eric simply sighed in frustration and sat on the bed again.
Selina knew exactly what she wanted to do. She went into the nearest
room with a fireplace she could find, and pulled some floo powder from her
pocket that she kept for emergencies. She threw it into the fire, then
stepped into it.
"The Snape home." She called, and disappeared.
She reappeared a few moments later, standing in her home fireplace.
She stepped out, and went to her room. Grabbing a bag from in her closet,
she filled it with clothing. When she had packed all that she could, she
left the house again, hoping that nobody would notice that she had left.
She soon arrived at Kevin's house, and knocked on the door. Kevin's
mother answered it this time, and her face brightened at whom she saw.
"Selina! Kevin will be so happy to see you, he's done nothing but mope
around since you last left." She said happily.
Kevin appeared behind his mother, having heard Selina's name.
"Selina?" He asked in disbelief when he saw her.
Selina nodded, smiling.
"Well, let's not just stand here all day, come on in, Selina." Kevin's
mother said.
Selina entered, and Kevin immediately pulled her into a hug, causing her to
drop her bag. Kevin's mother noticed this.
"Were you planning to stay with us?" She asked.
"For a few days, in that's alright." Selina replied from Kevin's arms.
"Of course it is. I'll just take your things to the guest room for you
then." Kevin's mother replied.
"Can she stay with me in my room instead?" Kevin asked, finally releasing
Selina.
"Well, that's up to Selina." Kevin's mother replied, looking over at
Selina.
"It's fine with me as long as it's alright with everyone else." Selina
said.
"Alright, then I'll put your things in Kevin's room." Kevin's mother
replied, leaving them alone in the entrance hall.
When they were alone, Kevin spoke first.
"Want to sit down?" He asked, heading towards the living room.
"Sure." Selina replied, following him.
When they arrived, they sat together on the couch.
"What made you come back?" Kevin asked.
"I couldn't take any more of Eric, I just had to see you again. And the
only way I could do so was by running away, so I did." Selina replied.
"Won't they come looking for you?" Kevin asked.
"Well, probably, but I'd say we have at least a day together." Selina
replied.
"I just hope that nothing happens to you when they arrive." Kevin said,
concerned.
"Don't worry, I won't let them." Selina replied.
Kevin merely smiled weakly in return.

happen in the next chapter (Jaime, I think you can see it coming, lol), and
