River and Nightengail checked into a hotel. They had no suitcases with them and no money. They spent the money on the hotel and things they needed like food and clean cloths. The hotel room was small and had two beds, a couch, a small fuzzy tv, a bathroom, and a tiny kitchen. The place stank to high heavens to. Nightengail was leaning against the wall sitting on one of the beds. Her side hurt but she was feeling better.

River sat on the other bed. They could hear the facet (sorry for spelling) in the kitchen dripping. It was the only thing that made a sound.

"River..." Nightengail finally said.

He looked over at her.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"You didn't have to do this,"

"Do what?"

"Come with me..."

"You were hurt...and I didn't want him to take you,"

"Your'e only putting yourself in danger,"

"I'll take that risk,"

There was the silence again. River thought about going over to the other bed and sitting with her. Maybe even giving her a hug. But the temptation was to great. I mean think about it...no parents...a room all alone. The temptation was very large.

"What are we supposed to do?" River asked.

"We run,"

"We have to go back in two weeks,"

"What? Why?"

"I promised my mom..."

"Oh,"

Nightengail clutched her side and groaned. There was a large cut there that hadn't fually healed yet. River looked over at her.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm super," she said sarcastically.

He got up.

"Do you want anything?" he asked.

"A glass of water would be nice," she said sweetly giving him the puppy dog eyes.

"Your wish is my command," he said bowing slightly.

He placed a glass of water on the table next to the bed. He was sitting on the edge of the bed. Away from Nightengail... She scootched (sorry for spelling!) closer to him. He scootched away. Nightengail glared at him.

"Do I have some type of fatal disease?" she asked.

"What? Oh...no...no not at all,"

"Then why won't you come near me?"

"I don't want to do something I might regret"

Nightengail gave him a funny look.

"You think we might...you actually think...you're telling me..."

She burst out laughing.

"Well it could happen!" River exclaimed.

"Please River I don't want that to happen! I'm 15,"

"So am I,"

"So is it agreed,"

"Is what agreed?"

She playfually punched his sholder.

"We don't do anything naughty," she said.

"Yes it is agreed," he said rubbing his sholder.

He paused.

"You know you really have a strong punch,"

"Do you want me to kiss it," she said mockingly.

He looked up as if he was thinking about it. She laughed.

"Well would you?"

"I am not going to kiss your sholder!"

She leaned over and gave him a quick harmless kiss on the cheek.

"But I will kiss you," she said.

Then she kicked him off the bed. He lay there on the floor and blinked very confused.

"If you excuse me River I would like some sleep," she said hanging her head over the side of the bed.

"Hey you could have asked me to get off,"

"I had more fun that way,"

He stood up to go get changed.

"Hey River,"

"Yeah,"

"I know where we have to go,"

"Where?"

"To New York. In fact I'll take us there tomorrow,"

"Why New York?"

"Because Slade always holds a party there. We might be able to sneak in and find out what he's planning,"

"Why would Slade hold a party?"

"To get money silly. To find someone dumb enough to buy into his plots,"

"Alright then tomorrow we go to New York,"

She smiled and stood up. Moments later she came out from the bathroom in a skimpy t-shirt that left most of her legs revealed. River quickly looked away as she got into bed. God, this is going to be harder than I thought, he thought to himself, Stupid temptation stupid temptation.
