Okay - I now this technically not allowed, but I've never been one for rules anyway. (lol) Here's the deal - I really want to continue this, but I'm SUCH a slow writer. Also, I like having this little fic (chapter 1) in it's own thread and I want to change the title for the overall story. But, I want to keep my stats & reviews & so on.

His mental pep-talk was soon forgotten at the sound of approaching footsteps. Get it together solider, he snapped at himself as he quickly closed his eyes & relaxed his breathing, moments before the door opened. Relying on his senses he listened as someone, what smelt like a male someone, slowly walked into the room and stopped just inches from the bed.
More coming soon:)
