Chapter 13: Nice and clean

It has been one moon since we returned from training camp. My father hasn't told us why he ran away from home but I know one day when he is ready he will tell us.

Me, Ivan, Kazbar, and Valdis are currently taking a bath together in the pond. It is very warm out so it feels good to clean off in the pond. I have always liked the water, expect for a few moons after the bitch woman had tried to drown me.

My father used to tease me and say that I was going to turn into a Argonian I was in the water so much. I used to say that I wouldn't mind if it meant I could live in the water. It felt like it was only yesterday that we had teased each other like that when in fact it has been almost five years.

I sigh in contentment as Ivan gently washes my back and my hair. When he's done he smiles at me,"All done honey."

I smile back,"Your turn." He hands me the soap and turns around and leans down so that I can reach his back. I gently wash and smile at his contentment. I then wash his his hair and when I'm done I smirked and then splashed him with water.

I laugh at the face he makes when water gets in his mouth,"Hey!"

"Hey is for horses sweets!"

He then splashes me back and pretty soon we are both laughing so hard that we can barely breath.

"Are you two having fun over there?" Valdis asks from across pond.

"We sure are." I say. I then smirk as I whisper to Ivan,"Let's go splash those two."

"Haha okay."

We quietly swim toward them. Kazbar looks and when he seems me looking at him says,"Don't even think about it."

I laugh evilly and swim under the water. When I reach him I grab him by his feet and pull him all the way into the water."

He glares at me as we swim back up to the top of the water. I look over and see Ivan and Valdis laughing. Ivan had splashed her when she wasn't looking and she had turned around and splashed him back.

The four of us swim so we were now together in the middle of the pond.

Kazbar looked annoyed,"You are evil."

"You're welcome brother!" I say with a laugh to which he just rolls his eyes.

"Well I've enough water for the day." Valdis said.

"Yeah me too." Kazbar agrees."

"Bye see you later." I wave to them.

"Bye."

Once they are gone Ivan and I cuddle with me in his arms and make out. When we break apart I smile happily and lay my head down on his chest. He kisses my head gently and I soon fall asleep.

When I wake up we are on the grass and are both fully clothed. I sigh in annoyance because I had once again fell asleep and was so asleep that I didn't even notice when he put my clothes back on.

I sit up and gently shake Ivan to wake him up as he had fallen asleep after getting us both dressed. Unlike me when I'm sleeping, Ivan is easy to wake up. He looks at me with a smile and says,"Wow the time sure did go by fast."

As he said that my stomach growled. It was almost time for dinner. "Let's hurry back to the Sanctuary so you can eat."

"Yeah good idea." I say. "You should cook. You are the best cooking!"

"I'd love to cook for you honey. What would you like?"

I thought about it for a minute before deciding,"Stew! Your stew is the best food ever!" It's true. The first time he made stew for me I couldn't believe how amazing it was. My family loves it as well.

Ivan smiles,"Of course my dear!"

Before we returned home we stopped and I watched as Ivan turned into a wolf and killed deer. Once he changed back we walk to the Sanctuary.

When we enter people give us weird looks and I see a couple of them whispering. I exchange confused looks with Ivan and we walk over to where the cooking spit is.

A few minutes later my father and Step mother walk in followed by Valdis and Kazbar.

"Oh so you finally decided to join us." Kazbar said.

"Yeah we um kind of fell asleep." I said with a laugh.

"Sure you did."

"What does that mean?" I ask getting annoyed because we were now getting the same looks from the four of them.

"Why is everyone looking st us like that?" Ivan asks in a irradiated voice.

Before anyone could answer Tori walks in from the other room and says,"Your parents think that you two having been having sex."

It's quiet for a few seconds before both me and Ivan in outrage yell,"WHAT!?"

Not giving them a chance to speak I continue,"In what world do you think I would do that when I have spent most of my life, being bullied for having been born to parents that weren't married?"

I glare at them in fury. Tori then said,"Me and Rhonda both tried telling them that but they wouldn't listen. She got fed up and left." At least my friends have some sense. I would of thought that Kazbar and Valdis did as well but apparently not.

By this point I am so angry that tears are coming out of my eyes and my hands are balled into fists.

My father finally decides to talk and says,"I'm sorry Vicky. I should of known better then that. After all, you aren't me."

"That's right I would never spend two years going to someone's house just for sex!" I snapped angrily and then walked into the bedroom slamming the door behind me.

Later Ivan brought me a bowl of stew in my room and sat down with me while I ate. When I was done I put my head down on Ivan's chest. He gently rubbed my back and asked."Is what you said true?"

I sighed in misery. "Yeah I still to this day get told that I'm a worthless bastard for having unmarried parents." I cried softly. "I'm sick of it. I can't wait to move away and never return. And when I do leave an causing all kinds of chaos!"

"When did you want to leave?"

I sighed again."I'm not sure. I'm still trying to talk my family into going. Tori and Rhonda already agreed to go." Even though he is currently with me in Cheydinhal, Ivan actually has a house in Skyrim. He had moved there three years ago after getting into a fight with his sister. I agreed that I would go to Skyrim with him. I have heard that's it's full of snow and tall mountains. I like snow.

"Would you still go if they stayed here?" Ivan asked me looking worried. I looked into his beautiful golden eyes and knew that I would go wherever he when. "I would go anywhere with you.

And with that we closed our eyes and went to sleep.
