Eve revealed three scars about three inches long and perfectly claw shaped. Continuing along she twisted around in her seat and lifted the back of her sweater to reveal several thin scratches horizontally across her back.
"Oh and there's one more that you should see...keep in mind nothing ever became of it." She said as she lifted her long brown hair to reveal the beginning signs of two puncture wound looking scars, "My brother...." Eve said with a heavy sigh and a down cast look. "My father, didn't know it was him when he started to attack me...shot him through the heart with a sliver bullet." Lupin's eyes were the size of saucers
"Oh, Eve ..." he said in a consoling tone as she turned to look out the window "I promise to do anything that I can not to harm you."
"Does that mean I'm staying with you for a while?" Eve asked still looking out the side window.
"If you would like, I'm leaving it up to you." He said his eyes fixed on the road
"So would you like-?"
"Yes, I would like." Eve said finally turning to face Lupin with a bright smile spread across her gentle face.
"Ok, it's said no more to say." Lupin said returning the gracious smile.
"So where are we going?" Eve asked watching the road barrel on in front of her
"Well that's a good question; I'm going where my instincts tell me. I'm looking for something." Lupin said "I think we're finally coming into a town so, maybe we should find some place to rest for the night well need an early start tomorrow my instincts are telling me to go south." As Lupin said this they started to pass by motels and hotels of all sorts shady and well kept all of them seemed to have bright signs that said
"NO VACANCY" Lupin and Eve drove around the small town until they found a very small inn that held no sign so they decided to try and get two rooms for one night much to Eve's dismay,
"Sir, I-"
"That would be Remus not sir..." Remus said with a smile "Remus Lupin Professor for Defence against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
He continued, blushing only slightly as Eve started to giggle profusely and suddenly stopped giggling her eyes realizing something she should have a lot earlier but keeping it to herself.
"Right, well then Mr. Remus Lupin, I have no money. Zip, Zilch, Nada, None Zero, I'll just stay here in the car and watch the stuff you go ahead in you need your rest anyway. It must have been a rough night for you."
"Oh no you don't," Remus said pulling into the parking lot there is no way that I'm going to let you freeze out here I intend on paying for your room and board you are my travel guest after all. Besides I don't think I'm the only one that had a rough night...did anyone ever look at your ribs and wrist from last night?" Remus asked his cool grey eyes going steely colored and in a sense stormy.
"No, I've had worse injuries than that no harm done just a little bruise that's all."
"Well I think that I should take a look at them just incase, I don't pretend to be a master healer but at the very least I could conjure up a splint for you." Remus said taking Eve tiny wrist in his hand.
"No, really I'm fine." Eve said softly, "Maybe later."
After a few moments Remus hopped out of the car went in to try and book two rooms for one night came out with a message for Eve saying, "Eve, they don't have two rooms open the only thing they have is a room with one full sized bed. And I will not hear of you sleeping on the floor." Eve started to blush
"Well I guess that's fine we'll just have to share for a night."
"Right then, room 242 through the lobby, up on to the elevators, and down the hall, third door on the left." Remus said as he helped her out of the car. Eve turned around to get her things when she realized that she didn't bring anything with her.
"Oh drat!" She said "I'll have to conjure some clothes when we get up to the room." And she helped Remus carry in his trunk and head up to the room. After a few minutes of sitting around she looked at Lupin and said, "Remus, do you mind if I hop into the shower and get cleaned up for once in a long time?"
"Not at all, then I can have a better look at those ribs and that wrist." He said with a meek smile.
"I'm telling you there's nothing wrong with me." Eve said stubbornly "Well just to make sure, and now go get in there before I chase you in there." Lupin said with a wide grin as Eve got up and headed to the bathroom,
"Vastis quo" and suddenly all that she needed appeared at her feet in a nicely arranged bag. "It's only enough until I can get back to Tom's and pick up some of my own stuff." Eve said with a sheepish grin and disappeared into the bathroom for about 25 minutes.
When she came out her skin seemed to be glowing and her hair was full of waves and her eyes sparkled and her teeth glowed radiantly as Remus got up he led her gently by the hand told her to sit up strait and breath normally which she did. Finding nothing in her ribs that would seem extraordinary like a brake or a crack he moved on to her wrist which, though still very small was about twice the size of her other wrist and apparently broken we'll mend this if it's broken he said dressing it with a make shift splint. She looked at him and smiled in a thankful manner as a small piece of hair fell across her face Remus reached up to brush it away and caught her eyes for a second he thought about a girl he had liked back at school and how Sirius had won her over with his help. Suddenly he shook that feeling knowing that she had died in an attack by Voldemort. They stood up together Eve was about seven or eight inches shorter than Remus but she kept his gaze.
"You know Eve you have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen."
"Mr. Lupin, are you trying to seduce me?" Eve said with a laugh
"Is it working?" Lupin said with a sparkle in his eye
"Maybe..."
With that Lupin lifted her up off of her feet and into his arms and set her gently on the bed as she started to fall asleep as she closed her eyes she lifted the covers up over her and nuzzled down in a soft pillow for the first good night sleep in about seventeen years. About twenty minutes later Lupin was ready for bed and crawled in beside Eve through a protective arm around her and he too fell asleep asking himself if he believed in love at first sight.
"Oh and there's one more that you should see...keep in mind nothing ever became of it." She said as she lifted her long brown hair to reveal the beginning signs of two puncture wound looking scars, "My brother...." Eve said with a heavy sigh and a down cast look.
