Crash and Alessa eventually reached his room and went inside. Crash sat down on his bed and looked at Alessa.

"So, is there anything you want to tell me about yourself, Alessa?" Crash asked. Alessa shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, I've been living alone for most of my life, and I already told you the house I was living in was falling apart, so that's why I'm here." Alessa replied. Crash looked at her in disbelief.

"You've been alone? What happened to your parents?" He asked. Alessa felt a burning hatred inside her. She growled and gave Crash a death stare.

"I don't know, and I don't care." She said angrily. Crash backed off after hearing that.

"Okay, sore subject." He said. Alessa then sighed.

"I'm sorry, I just don't like talking about my parents. They abandoned me when I was a puppy." She said. Crash gave her a shocked look.

"No, I understand. I had no idea. You poor girl." He said.

"I hope it explains why I wasn't so eager to talk about them." She said. Crash nodded understandably.

"You know, I lost my parents when I was a puppy too. They died in a fire that destroyed my home. I've had to take care of my little sister Jensine ever since then." He said. Alessa gave Crash a surprised look.

"That's horrible! How did you cope with that?" She asked.

"Dennis and Winnie have helped me with that. They're good friends. I think if I hadn't met Dennis and Winnie, or if my sister had died too, I would have found some way to end it." He replied. Alessa nodded in response.

"Well, at least you didn't do that." She said. "So, what were your parents like?"

"They were good people. They were loving and they cared deeply about me and my sister." Crash replied. "My mom was a vampire and her name was Judith, my dad was a werewolf and his name was Alan. That's why I have a human-like face, because I'm half vampire, half werewolf. Most people I've met think I'm a freak because I have the face of a human."

"I don't think you're a freak." Alessa said. Crash gave her a surprised look.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah, you're…cute." She said. Crash blushed when she said that.

"Umm…thanks." He said. Crash then got up from his bed.

"So, do you want to go for a walk in the forest?" He asked. Alessa nodded.

"Sure, why not?" She replied. The two then left Crash's room, went to the lobby, and left the hotel. They walked for a bit.

"So umm…Alessa, would you ever want to go out with me?" Crash asked. Alessa gave him a questionable look.

"Maybe, why do you ask?" She replied.

"Well, umm…I've been looking for a girlfriend for a long time and I think maybe umm…that you're the one." He replied. Alessa thought about this for a minute and then nodded.

"Sure, why not? It's about time I found someone to spend time with." She said. Crash's ears perked up and he gave Alessa a bear hug.

"You won't regret this, I promise." He said. Crash was hugging Alessa so tight, she couldn't breathe.

"Crash…can't…breathe." She said in short breaths. Crash laughed.

"Sorry." He said before letting her go. Alessa fell to the ground, trying to catch her breath. The two then noticed daylight was approaching.

"Want to sleep with me?" Crash asked. Alessa got up and looked at him.

"Sure." She replied. The two then walked back to hotel and went to Crash's room. They got into his bed and wrapped their arms around each other.

"I love you." Crash said.

"I love you, too." Alessa said. They shared a kiss before falling asleep.

[The next night]

It was getting late. Jensine wondered why her brother wasn't awake yet and decided to check on him. She went to his room and opened the door. She noticed that Crash and Alessa were fast asleep and smiled.

"Wake up you two!" She said. Crash and Alessa then shot up and looked at Jensine like they had been caught doing something bad.

"Jen! Don't scare me like that!" Crash said with his heart racing.

"Can I talk to you, big brother?" She asked.

"Sure, I guess." He replied. He got out of bed and walked up to Jensine. They went out in the hallway.

"Are you dating Alessa?" Jensine asked. Crash blushed a little.

"W-What makes you ask that?" He asked.

"Well, you were sleeping with her for one thing, and I noticed you act kind of strange around her." She replied. Crash sighed.

"Well, I suppose there's no reason to hide it. Yes Jen, we're dating." He replied. Jensine smiled.

"I thought so." She replied.

"Is that a problem?" He asked. Jensine shook her head.

"Not at all big brother, I can tell you two were meant for each other." She replied. Crash then smiled and gave his sister a hug.

"Thanks sis." He said.

"No problem." She said before walking down the hallway. Crash then walked back into his room.

"What did your sister want?" Alessa asked. Crash looked at him.

"Nothing much. She just wanted to talk about something." He replied. Alessa smiled.

"Well, alright then." She said. The two then left his room and went to the lobby. For the first time since her parents abandoned her, she felt happy. She could tell by the way he acted that Crash cared about her. She couldn't wait to see what her future with him would be like.

A/N: I know I ended this chapter like it will be the last one, but I promise it's not the last one. Also, I referenced some lines from video games once again. The line "Okay, sore subject." is a reference to the line that Victor Sullivan says to young Nathan Drake after hearing Drake's response when he said "Your parents must be worried." in Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. The line's "No I understand. I had no idea. You poor girl." and "I hope it explains why I wasn't so eager to talk about them." are both references to lines said in Red Dead Redemption. The first line is Bonnie McFarlane's response to John Marston explaining why he's hunting Bill Williamson, and the second line refers to John telling Bonnie why he didn't immediately talk about his past with Bill Williamson. There are some slight changes. The original lines were "You poor man." and "I hope it explains why I was so eager to talk about it."
