Hey! I'm still sick so I decided to write another chapter! Yea for you right? Lol.

Elf of rohan: Thanks for reviewing! You'll find out! I promise!


We woke up at 1:00 am to the sounds of shouting.

"Get out of here!"

"Not until you tell us where the beast is. We will get what we came for!"

"Leave him alone! He hasn't done anything to you!"

"He killed Bill Turnings!" So that's what this was all about! The man in the alley!

"Erik we have to get you somewhere to hide!" I said panicking. I helped him get out of bed. I grabbed his coat and threw it over his shoulders. I left mine hanging on the rack. Not very smart when it's fifty below outside. There was a window on the other side of the bed that I dragged him to.

"Can you climb out?" I asked.

"I think so."

"Okay, umm… I'll climb out first and you follow me. If you need help, I'll be right below you."

"I can do it. I'm not a helpless child."

"Yes, but you're a helpless adult with a broken hip bone!"

"We are going in that room whether we have to kill you or not!" We could here the voices on the outside of the door again.

"Erik hurry!" I cried hoarsely. Some how, we made it out of there alive. I could here the men, as I hoisted Erik into the alley, screaming with rage.

"Here, hide behind this!" It was an old cardboard box that was decaying in the alley. When the men finally left, I waited an hour and then escorted Erik home.

When we got there, He collapsed on the couch. I took that as an opportunity to lay next to him. I began to fall asleep, when he moved.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to move you."

"Oh no, it's fine. Do you want me to leave?"

"No. It's fine. I like the company."

"Okay. Do you want something to eat?"

"No. But if you want to get something you can."

"I'm not in the least bit hungry."

"Okay." He began to play with my hair. I was about to fall asleep when he said, "Do you want to marry me?"

"Yes of course I do!"

"Let's get married tomorrow."

"Tomorrow!"

"Yes! I love you so much! I can't wait another day till your all mine!"

"Erik, you can't even get off this couch. What makes you think you can go all the way down to the chapel and get the dude to marry us?"

"Love can do amazing things!"

"Now you're just being silly. Go to sleep and we'll see how you feel in a few weeks."

"But…"

"You wouldn't hear any buts from me so guess what? I'm not going to hear any from you!"

"So this is what they mean by things coming back to bite you aye?"

"Yup!" He began to stroke my hand where the ring was. He had soft hands. You wouldn't think he would considering all the things that he had been threw, but he did. I think his hands are one of his best features. I began to fall asleep to the stroking of his hand across my face and hands.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
