Disclaimer: Chapter 1

AN- Holy…Crap… Y'all can thank Scoutcraft Empress for this update… she went and reviewed for every single chapter! Lol… I get online and I see eighteen new messages… wow… that's never happened to me before… So anyway, read and review!

Ruth had been half awake when she heard a soft noise. But she was too tired to think anything of it, and had closed her eyes momentarily. That is until she felt someone breathing on her face. Which would freak any tired person out, not matter how weird they are. So she cracked her eyes open. Just a bit, nothing to give it away. It was Lane who was breathing rather rudely on her face. But he was lulling her back to sleep with his closeness. So it really surprised her when she felt the bed move and shift, and then whom she assumed was Lane pull her body against his.

But she was too tired, too warm, and too comfortable to do anything about it. And it didn't feel scary at all.

And now she had woken up again. The room was pitch black, and Lane's face was mere inches from hers. She could tell that from his breath. And one of his arms was thrown over her waist, with a leg of his too.

So she was effectively trapped, but too comfortable to do anything about it.

And what does someone do when they're wide awake, trapped, and bored?

Ruth began tracing Lane's face with her fingers… only to be shocked that she was touching smooth skin, instead of the rough skin he usually had.

She felt his head, only to find human hair instead of animal hair.

She trailed her hand down his chest, which was bare, to find hardened muscles and warm, soft skin.

What in the hell's going on? She thought to herself.

She'd known it was Lane who had crawled into bed a few hours ago… but who was this?

Lane was actually human?

While she was pondering on this, the guy began to wake up.

He didn't move much… stretched a leg, yawned, tightened his hold on Ruth, the buried his face back into the pillow they were sharing.

"Mmmph… love ya Ruth." He muttered, before laying still again.

Now she knew that was Lane. That was his voice!

But was he under some curse?

She thought about it some more… but it was getting harder to stay awake. Lane's breathing and scent had begun to lull her to sleep.

Ruth laced her fingers through his, and was once again asleep.

In another bed in the castle, Riley and Penny were at it again.

They both decided to become friends with benefits.

Which meant making out wherever they could; and sleeping together every night.

Both were pretty happy with the deal… except for the jealousy issue.

Because neither liked seeing the other flirting with anyone else.

And neither wanted to admit they had fallen for the other.
