A/n this chapter was harder to write than the others, thanks to writers block and no free time. Sorry for the long wait. Now let's move onto chapter five, how everyone likes it.

That was when this had all started. She had been sort of happy when she saw Graverobber, even though he is a drug dealer. He had always been honest with her. Her mind stopped wandering right when she started thinking about Graverobber; He always made her mind get jumbled.

When she looked around she saw that the sun was coming up, there was a clock on the wall that read 5:00 am. She was starting to wonder why Graverobber wasn't back yet. She finished her cereal and went to sit on the couch.

It seemed that she had found out a lot about Graverobber in the short time she had been here than about anyone her whole life.

Graverobber walked through the door about 7:00 am. He had blood on his shoulder and he was limping, shilo walked over to him, but she didn't get to close though. Because she wasn't sure if he would like that, "Graverobber what happened to you"? , it took him a few seconds to answer because he was breathing so hard "I got seen by the Gencops, it didn't end very well".

Graverobber limped over to the table and slumped down into the chair. "Can you go to the bathroom and get the first aid kit that's under the sink" shilo walked to the bathroom, looked under the sink and found the first aid kit.

She walked back out to the kitchen and set the first aid kit down on the table. Shilo was surprised when Graverobber grabbed out a pair of tweezers and his hand went right for the wound on his shoulder. He heard a yelp from behind him when the tweezers hit his skin "what are you doing" he placed the tweezers back on the table and looked at shilo.

"I have to get the bullet out. Don't I "? Graverobber said annoyance in his eyes, shilo walked over stopped an arms length away from his shoulder, "I can get it out if you want me to"

Shilo was still hesitant about doing it. Graverobber looked shocked " I guess with the way you grew up causing a man pain would be a high point for you" Graverobber said sarcastically , he saw the look of pain cross shilo's face. He was mentally kicking himself in the butt, / oh shit open mouth insert foot, I really stepped in it now/. "I'm sorry kid I didn't meant to say that, I'm being an ass right now, you can take the bullet out just be carful" he said handing her the tweezers, shilo took them with her hands shaking. She put her left hand on his shoulder to steady it, a shiver running down her body because of the contact.

Graverobber wasn't quite sure what he had just done, he could feel her hands shaking when they touched his skin, and he felt the tweezers going into his shoulder as she began to fish the bullet out. he was trying to not make any noises as shilo pulled the bullet out completely " oh crap " he went through the first aid kit again " what are you looking for now" shilo asked puzzled. Graverobber stopped for a second "i'm looking for peroxide to put on the wound "shilo was very surprised that he knew what it was, / but I guess when you were in his line of work you really could not go to the hospital / . " here let me help "

Graverobber could not figure out why she was being nice to him when the only other man in her life was a monster. He really wasn't used to being nice and taking care of another person. It was a shock when he felt the rag hit his skin, it stung badly, but he was used to pain. Then after about ten minutes of shilo cleaning the wound the pain went away.

She pressed down on the bandage to make sure it would stay in place, Graverobber stood up from the chair and groaned, "We should probably go to bed, you have been up most of the night and I am more of a night person anyway." Shilo was thankful Graverobber was happy with the work she did on his shoulder; she was even more surprised that he didn't say more to her than that one sarcastic remark. Shilo watched him walk away and into his bedroom, she closed up the first aid kit, walked back to the bathroom and put it back. Then went to her bedroom, and lied down on the bed.

Graverobber heard shilo's bedroom door close he tried to get to sleep, but it was no use he just laid there looking up at the ceiling. Maybe it was because of the run in with amber. Did she have feeling for him; she just seemed like a junkie. He heard something coming from shilo's room, / uh oh I think this is the after math of everything she's been through, this can't be good /. Giving up on trying to sleep he got out of bed and walked into the hallway. Getting to her door he stands there for a second listening for anything, he hears some whimpers and some quiet pleas. He slowly opened her door and glances inside the room before opening the door enough for him to get in. he sees her tossing and turning in her sleep, Graverobber has never been in this sort of situation before. He walks over to the bed crouches down and starts shaking shilo trying to get her to wake up.

"Kid wake up "Graverobber whispered, no response he leaned closer and heard her whispering "dad stop please "he saw tears rolling down her cheeks. He gently wiped them away with his hand, he tried shaking her again to wake her up, but the nightmare had to big a hold on her. He gently moved her over on the bed and lied down beside her, pulling her into his lap and drawing circles on her back trying to calm the nightmare. He could feel her stop shaking less the longer he held her. / How in the hell did I get here? / Graverobber was not sure how long he sat there, but he must have fallen asleep, because when he opened his eyes shilo had moved closer to him and she wasn't shaking anymore, he looked out the window. It was nearly night fall and he thought he should probably get ready to go harvest. He tried to move out from under shilo, but she had a very tight grip on him and wouldn't budge.

Shilo was running down a long hallway, there wasn't any light or doors that she could see and when she looked behind her she saw a black figure chasing after her and it was gaining on her by the minute. She saw a small light at the end of the hallway, but it seemed like she would never reach it. Suddenly the scene changed and she was a little kid again and her dad was angry about something, he was moving towards her with an enraged look in his eyes. Then the dream blurred and she was seeing so many times her dad had beaten her that all she felt was the blows . They just kept coming blow after blow and she couldn't even stop him. All of these dreams and images collided in one big image and sound that kept coming at her full blast, and then suddenly it stopped.

Shilo woke up with a start; she was surprised to see Graverobber under her. She clung to him like he was a raft in a storm, Graverobber stirred in his sleep. "Graverobber wake up" she nudged him a little, his eyes opened slowly. "Shilo what's wrong "he said sleepily he woke up more when he saw she was clinging to his shirt. He sat up bringing her with him and hugging her, "kid its ok, it was only a dream ". Shilo was hiding her head in his shoulder, she had started shaking again. He hugged her tighter whishing more than anything he could talk her pain away, make everything that the jerk of a father did just go away, but he could. So he did the next thing he could think of, "what was it about, do you want to talk about it"?

"My dad found me and attacked me again, and it was so scary, he would not stop trying to get to me". She was almost in tears when she got done telling him, "Its ok you have me now to protect you "
