She sat there staring at him a few minutes, but then started staring around the house.
"How did he know to come here? How did he even know there was this shelter here? Wait, why did he even help me? ," questions filled her head by each passing second. She, then, once more started at his sleeping form with curiosity.
"He wouldn't hurt me, we would have done that already if that's what he wanted," the thought jumped in her head, but her thoughts suddenly stopped as her stomach roared with hunger. "Ah man, I'm starving. I wonder if there is any food around here," she whispered to herself.
The house was tiny, just one room. It was made out of bricks and wood. Two small windows where at the front of the house with a door between them. The bed she slept in was in one corner out of the four and a few cabinets hanging on the wall across from it. Vines and plats had been moving in too. A few vines had entered thought the windows and started to crawl inside the house.
Piper decided to look inside them and see if there was anything to eat. As she looked through it and found some canned foods and some bottled water. There was also a medium size box behind the food, it barely fit inside the cabinet. Piper moved all the food and grabbed the box carefully not to drop anything and wake up Leo. He deserved the rest, after all he was the one that made it possible to be here, alive. If he hadn't helped her she would have probably been dead by now. She gave a small sigh and kneeled on the floor, the box in front of her. Piper dusted off the inch of dust the box had gathered through out the time it had laid there, with the rest of the items. Inside it she found a few pieces of clothing. Some for men, others for woman. They were not the best clothes but anything was better than what she had on now. Piper took a quick peek at Leo on the floor, he was still sleeping.
"Might as well change into some of these clothes now," she looked at her clothing, "these aren't going to last another day."
The simple white dress she was wearing had lasted through so much in the past few days. Now, all that remained was an unrecognizable, dirty, muddy, shreds of what used to be a piece of clothing. Well, she did have Leo's jacket. He had give it to her yesterday when he found her. She took off the jacket and dropped it on the bed. She then changed into better clothes and waited for Leo to awake.
Leo awoke a half an hour later and had found Piper staring outside by the window. He quickly noticed her changed of clothing.
'She found the food and clothes," he realized. He quietly snuck behind her without making a sound and spoke directly at her ear.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
"Ah!," she quickly turned around and put her right hand in her chest."Don't do that!"
He had to laugh at her expression but apologized, "Sorry."
She took a deep breathe to calm her speeding heart answered the question left unanswered. "Yeah, it is beautiful. Calm and peaceful too."
A small lull took over for a few minutes. Leo couldn't help but look at her from time to time. Finally, he decided to speak and brake the silence that overcame the house.
"So, you found the clothes and food. Did you eat something?"
"Oh! Yes, umm.. hope you don't mind me changing into some of them," she said a bit shyly.
"Of course not! It's fine, really," he replied with a grin, "so, I'm assuming you didn't eat anything since there is nothing opened. Are you hungry?" His question was answered by the small growling of her stomach, followed by his.
"Does that answer your question?" Piper joked, a grin plastered on her face.
"Clear as daylight. Ok, so let's eat breakfast," he ordered and stood up offering a hand to Piper who was sitting in her bed. She took it, smiling, and both went on to eat breakfast.
