Chapter 7: Three Days

Moments passed with either of us speaking. I had the right to no after all I was a guest in his home. "I can't tell you…at least not now." His voice came as he turned and faced me. Looking into his eyes I knew he wanted to tell me now, but something deep down told him not to.

"What is it? Is it that you don't trust me?" I asked still looking at him. "You've known me for quite a long time."

Looking at me with those eyes something changed within them. "Stop asking me that." He yelled as he brushed past me and went upstairs. I could hear the door to his bedroom being slammed shut.

Looking up the stairs and at his door, all of a sudden I felt bad for asking. Doing the same I went up to my room and began crying as I lay on my bed. I was certain that Rhett could hear my muffled cries as I lay burying my face into my pillow. Nothing was going to change, nothing at all! Why did I think things would? Because they wouldn't I had been here for a year and everything that had been the same hadn't changed. Shutting my eyes I began to fall asleep unknowing what would come later.

"What am I going to do?" Rhett asked walking back and forth in his room. He couldn't possibly tell me now. In the middle of his thinking he could hear my cries from the other side of the wall. Opening the door Rhett walked over to my door and opened it. Walking over to the bed he laid down next to me playing with my hair then he proceeded to put an arm around me. Calming me down as I continued to sob, I must have been having a nightmare or something. I didn't remember opening my eyes at his touch. As he rubbed my arm I began to fill at ease and fell asleep within moments.

Opening my eyes as the autumn sun came through that small window. I yawned and stretched before getting up. Turning over I saw Rhett standing and looking out that small window. "Rhett, what are you doing in here?" I asked putting on my red velvet rob.

"You were having another nightmare my pet," Rhett said not moving his eyes from the window.

"You told me I would never have another nightmare as long as I was here." I said as I raised my right eyebrow. That varmint he told me I would NEVER have another nightmare.

"Yes, yes, I said that. However, you did have one last night. I could hear you crying from my bedroom." Rhett answered still not turning around. "I came in here last night to calm you down."

Walking over to him like I had done before. "Yes, I know you did." I answered as I stood several inches away from him.

Turning around he faced me with that handsome face of his. A smile came to his lips as he walked up to me. Then when he looked down at me his face changed once again. "You're not happy here." He said looking into my eyes.

"What makes you say that?" I asked as I drew in a breath to my lungs.

"I can see it in your eyes. You've wanted to go back to Tara for quite some time. I've failed to realize that." Rhett said taking my hand.

I was shocked by what he said. Did this mean? Freedom? Could I really go home? I could fill all the blood in my body drain out. I felt rather sick all of a sudden. "I'm letting you go see your family for a few days. However, if you tell anyone of this place or if you do not come back then unspeakable horror will happen upon this house…and upon to you as well."

I get to go see my family, but not stay forever. I had to come back in a few days time. If I didn't then something would happen to me. Looking at him I asked the one question now that I had for him. "How long? How many days?' I asked as my heart started to race.

"Three days my pet, and no more." Rhett said still holding my hand. I could tell this was really hurting him. Deep down I knew he loved me and always would. But to him it was like an obsession. "I will send Prissy up here to pack your things." Heading over to the door he opened it and diapered behind the doors.

I was going home for three days. I would get to see my family. What would they say once they saw me? I'm sure they would be shocked but also happy to see me. I'm sure they thought I was dead, dead and never to be found. While I was still in thought Prissy came in.

"Capitan Butler says ya will be goin home for a few days. Miss. Scarlett," Prissy said as she laid a suitcase on my bed.

Nodding my head yes I began helping Prissy pack my bags. After doing this I picked out a very simple dress. An orange dress with lace on the caller and lace on the hand cuffs. With my hair was up showing off my lovely face. Oh, how my family wouldn't know who I was.

Stepping out onto the porch I breathed in the smell of the fresh air. For the first time in such a long time I was free to go home for a little while. Rhett stood next to me as I smiled at the scene in front of me. "Remember what I told you my pet," Rhett said speaking as I turned towards him.

Nodding my head yes, telling him that I remembered. If I didn't come back within the three days horror would come upon this house and to me. Yes, I understood that how could I not. It scared me out of my skin just thinking about it.

Kissing my hand Rhett told me he would see me in three days. I got in the carriage and was off towards home. Looking back I saw Rhett watching as I left him for a little while. Would I come back after being with my family for a few days? Would I keep my promise to him? Or would I betray him and stay with my family for the rest of my days?

A/N: Yes another short chapter sorry about that. I've been very busy latly with college and all. Will Scarlett come back to Rhett? Or will she stay with her family and suffer what is to come? Oh, and if Rhett is a werewolf like people are guessing how do you think Rhett shoudl turn Scarlett into one? Any ideas? I've got one, but I would like to see what you guys come up with. Review and Happy reading:)
