Lydia and Connor materilized in an old cabin. Lydia stepped away from Connor and looked around.

"So this is where we will be staying."

"Aye till friday. We then head to Jean-Luc in Texas."

"Jean-Luc Echarpe the designer."

"Aye. It seems Jean and Heather are going to do soemthing for the ball."

"Ball?"

"The spring ball."

"Oh!"

Lydia looked out to see how dark it was. She was going to br trapped for a long time. She walked over and sat on the couch with a sigh lifting her knees and putting her arm around them.

Connor watched as Lydia curled up into a ball. This brave fearless lass reduced to fear.

He looked away.

"Connor?"

"What?"

"Where will you sleep. I see a lot of windows."

"There is a secret door behind the bookcase in the kitchen. I'll sleep there. No you'll be okay for a few moment. I must return to Romatech and pick up out supplies."

"Okay."

When Connor left she let loss and finally cried. She lost her home everything she had of her parents were in there she had lost everything. All she had was the pendent her parents gave her. Hoepfully she could get in touch with her Uncle he had many pictures. Hopefully she can have some. Curling up into a ball she baried her face in her arms.

She had Angus adn Robby know but it still hurt to loss everything that told here where she come from. The soft side of her continued to weep at the strain that had fallen apon her on this night.

"Lass."

Lydia looked up into Connor's concerns face. She quickly wiped her cheeks and sat up."
"Ya okay?"

"I lost everything from my parents."

"It'll be okay lass. Your safe no one can hurt you here."

"I know but still. I am feeling the strain."

Connor handed her a large duffle bag.

"Some clothes for you Emma and Shanna got everything they tought ye would need. I brought food for you and me. Tomorrow Gregori will teleport with a batter source of supplies for both of us."

She nodded talking the duffle bag and stood up. With a sigh Connor stopped her.

"Why donna ya take a nice long hot bath. Shanna said she put bubble bath in there to help calm you."

"Thank you."

"The bathroom is just through the door on the left when you enter the bedroom. If ya like I'll built a small fire in ya room."

"Thanks but wait till I'm in the bath."

"Alright lass."

Connor watched Lydia walk into the room. He had taken everything Roman had ready for him and teleported back. As he had sat the food supplies down in the kitchen he had been surprised to here cring. He saw Lydia curled up cring as if she had lost of family member. He hated to see a woman weep. He could almost hear the ice cracking around his heart.
He heard the water come on he walked into the room and saw the contents of the duffle bag spred across the bed. Red adn Blue lace caught his eyes. With a growl he know knew what Vanda was smiling about.

Unable to help himself Connor stepped toward the bed and saw the blood red lace teddy near the lace undies and bra. There was a pair of flannel pajams and smiled Shanna must of though Lydia would like soemthing warmer to wear.

Looking at the bathroom door Connor imagination ran away seeing her in the tub filled with white bubbles. The her wearing the teddy.

With a growl he made her fire and went to the living room sitting on the couch.

Meanwhile Lydia just pulled off her dirty clothes and slide into the steaming hot water. With a sigh she layed back and closed her eyes. What the HELL was the person thinking packing ehr a lace teddy. She'll wear the bra and underwear but the teddy had gome to far.

Closing her eyes she rested letting the hot water warm her bone. Not relizing it she had falled asleep and the water had gone cool.

Pulling the plug she got out an ddried off wrapped a large towel around her. She was running another towel through her hair when she felt soemthing slid over her foot.
Looking down she saw a snake about five feet long slide over the floor toward her other foot.

Lydia jumped back a scream escaped her through as she snake turned on her and stiked missing her completly.

Connor was staring at the fire when he heard Lydia's scream. Grabbing a sword he ran to the bathroom and burst through the door. Ludia was standing with her back to him shaking staring at the floor. Connor followed her line of vision and saw a huge bloody snake.

Taking ahold of Lydia's arm with his free hand he turned her away as he chopped the snaked head off.

Lydia turned when she felt Connor's hand on her arm. She hid her face in his shoulder not wanting to see the nasty thing. It was the only thing she was afraid of. She had a huge fear of snakes. Looking up at Connor she placed a hand on his neck.

"Thank you."

He nodded his gaze roaming up and down her body. The towel didn't cover much and of what he could see he couldn't argue there was no better figure of woman alive. Quickly raising his eyes he lead Lydia out of the Bathrrom.

"Ya okay."

"Yeah. I am just scared to death of snakes."

"I teleport it outside and clean up while ye get dressed."

"Alright."

As he entered the bathroom and closed the door Lydia bulled on the blue lace then grabbed the flannel pajamas someone thought to pack. She then put everything up in the small dresser and pulling back the covers climbed into bed. She could hear Connor him the bathroom watching up and cleaning the mess. With a small laugh at the thought of Connor cleaning she fell asleep.

When Connor finished he walked out and saw Lydia asleep.
