Chapter 7 What are we doing?

Aelita wasn't asleep, she was up at 3:44 in the morning and still couldn't close her eyes. Thinking of all the great things in life but mostly Jeremy, the person that kept her from falling asleep Haunted her mind almost half of the time. She was so distracted by her thoughts she almost didn't answer the door when the Knock pounded her out of a daydream. She got out from under her bed sheets and answered the door to find Jeremy, standing and being ever so shy. what's wrong Jeremy? well, I cant sleep. Well that makes two of us. Why cant you sleep Jeremy. Haven't you thought of what Xana is doing at all? I mean He is out of the Super Computer and he hasn't shown himself yet. Come in, and well talk about it. He hesitated and walked in and sat down with Aelita, on the floor. Well ,maybe he is busy devising a plan, or he could be spying on the five of us without us Knowing. And if he is, what do you plan to do about it? Aelita asked in concern. I don't know, Maybe I'm being a bit over-protective. Of what? you. The thought of him feeling overly protective made him sound as if he was mad at himself. Your not being over-protective. I think your just over caring. He blushed at the comment that his crush made and he could have kissed her if he had the guts to make a move. He could before the Hospital ordeal, but now, he couldn't bring himself to do it any more. I'm going for a walk I've got to air out a bit, he was just getting up and reaching for the door when Aelita asked if she could go with him. He, stuttered for an moment and said sure. Blushing a deep crimson before opening the door. Aelita and Jeremy were walking by the woods until they found themselves, walking in the woods before too long. Making sure their was nothing that was following them, he turned around when ever he heard something and figuring out that he was the one making all the noises. Then again when ever Aelita switched her attention to him he looked the other way to stay off the subject of anything that had an assortment with love. She was looking at all the different shapes and sizes of trees. Until the silence was broken by Aelita, asking if they could go to the Hermitage. He simply nodded. They made a couple turns until they had come up with a conclusion they were lost. Jeremy thought he should let Aelita sit somewhere and rest, but she denied the offer. Hey, I think I see the Hermitage. They walked up to the house in the distance and rest assured, it was the hermitage. Aelita not stopping at all, walked downstairs, into a basement. She was way ahead of Jeremy. He saw her turn a corner, but when he turned he ran straight into her, causing them to fall on each other, but Jeremy Quickly withdrew because of being shy. Sitting staring at one another, Aelita replied OK, Now I know there is something wrong with you. No there isn't he protested. Listen, Jeremy I want to know more about you, I really do but you have to open up to me just as much as I want to open up to you. Aelita I... Then something grabbed Aelita and pulled her into the basement. AELITA! Jeremy ran down the stairs and tripped on the 5th step down to fracture his arm, but not break it. He got back up and continued to run after the guy, Girl... Ok we will call it a thing for now, He finally came to a room with a table on it, belts and a couple hydro-kinetic pulsators and shock resistant waistcoats. He then saw that the thing was strapping Aelita down to the belted table. Hiding around the corner he watched for a couple moments to see what The thing was up to, until he realized he was pulling a knife out of the pocket. Slowly drawing the blade and scrapping gently at her arm until the sleeve cut open. He poked the knife into her vain and drew a small sample of blood. but it kept on trickling until the Half of the table was covered in Blood. I will be back tomorrow the thing said in a whisper. He walked passed Jeremy without noticing him. He was out of site and ran into the room and quickly undid the straps on the table. We have to get out of here. But Jeremy, No if's ands or buts about it we are getting out. Before we leave I need to get to my room for a minute. Why? I want to get something. they waited ten to fifteen minuets until they decided the Coast was clear and they made their way up stairs. In Aelita's room she got on her knees totally being oblivious to the bloody arm, She reached for under her bed and got what she wanted a small 4 inch by 3 inch box and slipped it into her pocket. Ok I'm ready to go. they decided it would be less obvious if they climbed out the window. Jeremy got out first and Aelita climbed out but planting her feet on a wet part of the roof, caused her to almost slide off until Jeremy grabbed her by the waist and helped her back up. They continued to the trellis and climbed down that. They ran to the east of the woods and came to a really small pond. Here, we can take break here I guess. They sat by the pond and caught their breath. Let me see your arm. He slowly pulled the sleeve up, Making sure the cloth wasn't stuck in any dried blood. He tore off part of his sleeve and made it damp enough to put on her arm to make the bleeding slow down. She let out murmur, the water made it sting. Making sure he wasn't hurting her he wrapped it around the cut and tied it. Thanks. Whatever, he sighed. Jeremy she whispered, I know I know, I'm being over-protective again he smiled. No, not that. He turned his attention from the water to her and stared into her eyes. What is it then? Your shy aren't you? Drawing closer to him. Maybe just a little. He laid down on the soft grass and gazing at the stars. You don't have to be, if it feels like I'm pushing you too far you can at least tell me to stop. She lays on her stomach. He doesn't say any thing. She just turns to face him. He turns and faces her. With out alarm they fall asleep. Send in the reviews, I wrote this cause I wanted to:)
