(Jay's POV)

I'm so glad that Theresa and Archie are finally back to us. I didn't want to believe my eyes when I saw them. I thought my heart was going to get out of my chest. I was euphoric. Well, it was before I realize Theresa was wounded and Archie had black hair. Kind of weird to see, I almost didn't recognize him. At lease, they're alive.

Atlanta quickly took care of Archie. The first thing she did after she hugged him... err, I mean slamming him on the ground, was to wash off the black of his hair with snow. After, she made him come inside the cottage to check if he was wounded. I know that's what she did because she told me before I get back to Theresa he was lightly wounded. She was just worried about one wound on his arm. By the shouting he make from his room after she told me that, I'm guessing it's not that wrong.

I'm coming inside the room I left Theresa. I told her to take a rest, the time she gets back some strength. I don't know how's her wound and I'm kind of worried. She's sleeping peacefully. I'm coming closer without a sound and I'm taking off the blanket just enough to let me see her back. I didn't really notice her new dress. I wonder where and why she got it.

I'm beginning to raise her dress and I guess I wasn't that careful. She woke up.

''What the- Jay? What are you doing?'' She's asking with a sleepy voice as she's turning her head to look at me. I'm smiling, caressing her shoulder. I can feel her shivering.

''Just checking your wound. Can I?'' I'm asking in a whisper and she's nodding, replacing her head on the pillow, slowly getting back to sleep. I'm taking a breath before I'm raising her dress. All I can see is her bandages. Well, if I want to see her wound, I had to take it off. I'm getting out my sword.

''Hey, wait! What are you going to do with your sword?'' Theresa is asking me as she's turning back her head. I can feel the fear in her voice. I always forget it make a little sound when I open it.

''Calm down. I just want to cut your bandages.'' I'm telling her and she's taking a breath to calm down as she's replacing her head on the pillow.

I'm cutting slowly the bandages, trying to not touching her skin. I'm taking off the bandages and- I swear, I couldn't stop the Greek swearing to come out.

''What happened to your back?'' I'm asking and Theresa is not turning to look at me. Why is she looking embarrassed?

''An arrow hit me during a fight. I felt danger but I didn't take seriously.'' She's explaining me and I'm hugging her without touching her wound. I'm kissing her shoulder.

''It's okay. Things happen.'' I'm saying and I'm examining the wound. Thank gods, I don't see any infection. In fact, it looks perfect. It's slowly curing. ''Well, Arch did a great job on it. I'm really surprise.''

Theresa is giggling as she's turning her head to me. ''He didn't cure me. An old lady in Rivers did and after, a lady in Cloudas checked it.''

''Whoa, Rivers and Cloudas. You were far. By the way, the dress-''

''It's form Rivers. A bad guy ripped my clothes as he tried to rape me.'' She's explaining and- wait, what? On my god, I can't remember the last time I felt that anger in me. ''I think the villagers killed him because he was an enemy and they were tired of them around.''

''Wow. And I thought most of the villages in the West were pacific.'' I'm saying, quite surprise. I'm getting up and I'm going to the door. ''Herry, can you bring me the bandages?''

''Yeah, in a minute.'' Herry is answering me from another room. I'm smiling and getting back closer to Theresa. I'm hearing a knock on the door before Herry came inside with a metal box. ''There. So, how's her wound?''

''I'm awake Herry.'' Theresa is telling him and he's looking so embarrassed.

''Sorry. I didn't know. So?'' Herry is asking her and she's shrugging.

''Ask Jay, he's the one who saw my back.'' She saying and couldn't help but laugh. I'm almost laughing my ass off. I'm taking a breath to stop the laugh.

''Oh gods, you got me off guard. It's alright. No infection or whatever. I just need to place fresh bandages.'' I'm explaining to Herry and he's nodding, giving me the box. He's smiling to Theresa before he left the room, closing the door behind him. ''Really, a good one.''

''I know.'' She's telling me and I'm sitting next to her. ''I need to sit?''

''Yeah, please.'' I'm saying as I'm helping her to sit. She's in front of me, her back to my direction. I'm slowly placing on her wound the bandages as she's holding her dress.

Oh my god, I really hate that tension. You know, the kind I thought you only see in movie, when two persons are together and you can feel something quite mature might happen? Well, it's how I feel it right now. It's kind of hard to fight. I think Theresa is fighting too, her breathing is going faster. I can't lie, I'm sighing the second I finish it. I didn't expect my breath to be short.

''Jay?'' She's calling my name in a faint whisper.

''Yeah?'' I'm whispering too and she's turning her head to me. She's biting her lip. She always does that when she's unsure and nervous. And here's go my restrain. ''I give up.''

I'm saying before I'm kissing her. Theresa is returning the kiss after some seconds, the time she can stop the surprise. Guess we both missed our kisses with the strong we're using right now. Yeah, my mind is off right now. Theresa is yelping in pain in my mouth and she's broking the kiss. We're both out of breath.

''Easy... on my back.'' She's saying and I'm slapping myself mentally than I forget her wound so easily. I'm placing my forehead against hers.

''Sorry. We better stop and let you take a rest.'' I'm saying even if my mind is screaming something else. I can see in her eyes she read without her will my mind... unless she was thinking the same thing as me.

''Yeah, but stay with me please.'' I can clearly see her trembling. I'm sighing and I'm nodding as I'm giving her a warm smile.

''Sure, of course.'' I'm telling her as I'm helping her to lie down. I guess after almost a week of running away from enemies who want your head, she's really nervous to be alone. I'm lying in front of her, not wanting to hurt her again. ''Good dreams Terry.''
