A?N: sorry it's taken so long to upload this chapter but I'd spent so much time writing the last three that I was working towards writer's block so I took a break over the weekend.

Part Four

It didn't take very long before I was standing in the front yard of what he claimed to be a " cabin ". All I could see was a silhouette It was a two story house made of log's. What I thought he'd meant was a small little hunting cabin that people used during hunting season's and fishing trip's. This was more like a Home you lived in all year round. There was a huge wrap around porch that was screened in. It was beautiful

" Wait here a minute I haven't been back here in awhile just wanna make sure it's still in the same shape I'd left it " He was gone in a flash. I waited for my eye's to adjust to the darkness Than I took the 5 step's that lead to the porch and pulled the screen door open. Next to the door was two small table's one on each side that held two fake plant's. To my right there was a set of wicker chair's and a small table in the corner and some more vibrant looking fake plant's. I walked around the corner and was amazed to see a Lake it wasn't as big as the one back at the inn but the crescent moon was high above it reflecting off the surface. If I didn't know any better i'd try and walk on it. It looked like glass. I followed the walk way along the side of the house and the back porch was a site. It was wider back here and in the center was green and black Patio furniture. Along the wall was a built in grill and on the other side was what I would have guessed a bar. Four stool's sitting in front of a some what long bar and behind it hanging from the ceiling was place's to hold glass wear. And just past that a pool table. It looked like some thing you'd see in " Better Home's and Garden "

I tried the switch to turn the light's on so I could get a better look of the back yard but nothing happened.

" The power's off. "

" well that suck's did the inside pass inspection? "

He smiled and pulled the sliding glass door open a bit more and waved me in. It was dark inside Candle's were lite every where. It gave off a romantic atmosphere

I could so live here. The inside was just breath taking. As soon as you stepped in the smell of pine assaulted you nose. A large living room with a large black sectional sofa and matching recliner's on either side A huge fire place with a now roaring fire inside explains the smell.. The wall was made of stone I couldn't see how far the stone went up. Above the second story was only half the size of down stair's and a wooden balcony over looked the whole down stair's. It was all open. The kitchen lined part of the wall under the balcony. It looked like everything was stainless steel. There was a winding stair case near the front door. A hallway beside it.

Wow.

" it's um well do ALL vampire's live like this? "

" No.. But some of us were smart enough to invest or save instead of blowing every cent they either made or stole "

" So which are you the smart savings investor or a thief"

He smiled. " A little of both I guess I stole money then invested it.. Turned out it was a pretty damn good investment "

" What did you invest in?"

" The AUTO mobile "

" Wow well yeah pretty smart move there slick" Gave me a clue as to how old he was. Older than my Great grandpa. He was just a kid when Ford came out with the first car.

" How old are you anyways? "

" Hmmm I was born in 1721 France Died 1740 England, So about... 300 year's give or take "

Ok way older than my grandpa.

" there isn't much here right now food wise and by that I mean there isn't any at all But the water work's so you can shower if you want. I can have the power back on tomorrow if you wanna stick around here? "

I didn't know how to answer. I hadnt planed my next move so I wasn't sure where I was going after this. But staying here was an inviting idea.

" I.. I don't wanna impose I mean you've already done a lot for me and you don't even know me and owe me nothing. "

He just smiled as he opened the fridge and freezer door and left them open I guess to air them out.

" Don't worry about it. It's not an imposition to me I never use this place unless I get tired of roaming and this place could use a female. "

He walked out of the kitchen and back to me " come i'll show you the room you can stay in "

He lead me up the stair's and past a few closed door's that he opened along the way. He stopped in front of a set of French door's and opened only one and walked in. It was the master bedroom. It was dark the only light came from the moon outside. I felt the air woosh past me and in an instant the room was being lit by another fire in a smaller fire place near the bed .It was huge. A large mahogany canopy bed On the far side of the room with matching in table's and dresser. The carpet was a light tan and soft even with my shoe's on. Another set of french door's lead out on to a balcony with black out curtain's. On the other side of the room near another door was a small dark brown sofa that set in front of one of the biggest flat screen TV's i'd ever seen. And on either side was shelf's full of Book's and DVD's.

I almost died when he lead me into the bathroom. Candle's were lit in all the right place's giving a soft glow. The floor was made of stone and a huge open shower a small lip to keep the water from spilling into the rest of the bathroom. The tube was more like a jacuzzi. The whole back side of the wall was glass.

Wow.

" It's all you'res for as long as you need. "

" No it's to much. I'd be happy with one of the other room's I promise "

" No I wouldn't dream of it. I don't sleep remember so I don't need it. "

He walked back out in to the bedroom. By the time I followed he'd already had my bag in hand that i'd left sitting in one of the chair's down stairs and was setting it down on the bed.

" thank you " My voice was small. I had forgotten what it was like to be taken care of. All these month's i'd taken care of myself. It was easy i'd done it so much over my short life span but the feeling of having some one else care enough to take the time to take care of you was something I missed a great deal.

" it's my pleasure. " And with that he was gone leaving me to my thought's.

I pulled out what little I had left to my name and as I thought me carelessly shoving my clothe's in the bag had wrinkled them but it didn't matter. I grabbed my black pajama bottom's and a graphic tee and the soaps i'd taken from the Inn and made my way back to the bathroom. I stood just inside and stared. Debating which one I wanted to use more. The shower was unlike any i'd ever dreamed of using. But the bath tub was just as tempting.

" Umm Where are the towel's? " I turned around in a circle probably looking real stupid. Next to the sink was a tall cabnet. I pulled open the door and Large black and gray fluffy looking towel's were stacked neatly. I pulled one down and held it to my face. They smelled clean and felt amazing. I opened the other door and the two upper shelf's were set's of sheet's and pillow case's. And the bottom two held smaller towel's and wash cloth's. I grabbed a wash cloth that was just as soft feeling and closed both door's. I pulled my clothe's off and wrapped myself in the towel and stepped in to the shower. There were hook's along the wall that the faucet was on. But I didn't see the shower head. I looked around and above me but couldn't really see much since the only light I had were the candle's flickering and a little moon light that bleached the floor making it hard to tell what color it really was. One way to find out. I set the soap's and wash cloth down and turned the hot water faucet on first. Cold water fell from the ceiling and I jumped nearly slipping. Found the shower head. I laughed at myself and stepped out off the falling water and waited for it to warm. Best shower Ever.

I took my time in the shower enjoying it to no end. Found a knob just to the right of the faucet I played around with it. It changed the speed and the way the water fell and which shower head it came from.

After about fourty minutes of goofing off I stepped out and dressed.

I made my way back down stairs and all but the fire place was put out. Trevor was no where to be seen. I called out but no answer. He must have gone hunting. I padded bare foot back up to the room and pulled the blanket back. I crawled in and pulled it back over my head.

I don't know what time it was but I woke with a start the fire was only burning coal's and was glowing a dim orange. The room was nearly black. The moon light was gone. I looked around but I couldn't see anything. I fell back onto the pillow with a huff and rolled over onto my stomach.

When I opened my eye's again the room was bright. The sun was already starting to rise.

I pulled on a pair of sock's and made my way back down stair's.

Still no Trevor. I walked out on to the back porch and out the screen door that lead to the back yard.

The deck went a few feet past the porch and a wide stair case that went down six or so step's and just past that was a pool. Made of the same stone that lined the wall with the fire place and bathroom. A blue pool cover was over the surface. I heard the sound of an engine start to my left so I followed the path to a large garage the side door was open. I peeked in and saw Trevor standing in front of a jeep. The hood was up and he was wiping his hand's on a red cloth.

" Good morning " he hadn't even looked my way. I walked over to him.

On the other side of the Jeep was a full sized truck it's hood up aswell.

" Whatcha doing? "

" These haven't been run in awhile so I changed the wire's and spark plug's and did an oil change. I figured Since I can't make a run to town I'd get them running good again and you could use one to drive to town and pick up what ever you need. Stock up on stuff "

" Sound's good guess I should go get dressed. Im starving "

I sat behind the wheel of the jeep. The garage door was opening to a narrow drive way lined with tree's on one side.

" You remember how to get to town? " He asked shutting the driver side door.

" yep can't be to hard. "

He smiled " I already gave the power company a call They'll be out this afternoon. "

I nodded and he stepped away from the jeep as I started it. The drive was kinda long mostly a straight path. I only had to make two turn's. The town was small a sign as I entered stated how many mile's till Gainsville but I avoided looking at it.

I pulled the jeep into a parking spot out front of a little grocery store one of those Ma and Pa store's. It was small. I doubted they had any real big brand name item's but wasn't a big deal. I grabbed a small cart and started making my way up and down the small isle's. Tossing this and that in. A bag of coffee my main items I was after but couldn't for the life of me remember if i'd seen a coffee pot.

After about thirty minute's I made my way to the front to cash out. A teenage girl was sitting behind the counter her nose stuck to the phone. She looked up and smiled as she stood. She rang up everything and placed it in paper bag's and gave me the total.

" is there a pharmacy around? What I had in mind I didn't see "

She laughed " yeah this store is really limited on that kinda stuff When you walk out about a block down across the street is K&S pharmacy Its no bigger than this store but im sure they have what you're looking for "

I Thanked her and grabbed the two bag's and walked out. I put the two bag's in the back seat of the jeep and started my way to the pharmacy . This town was the very definition of " One horse Town "

Small shop's lined both side's of the street. "Jerry's meat market " "Sally's Flower's" so on and so on.

I crossed the street and walked into the pharmacy. I made my way to the shampoo's and grabbed a bottle of shampoo and conditioner and cucumber body wash. And much needed razor's and a hair brush. I stood in the middle of the store trying to think if I needed anything else. An older lady came up behind me and asked if I needed some help. I said No thank you and went to cash out.

I Pulled the jeep back into the garage and had enough time to grab the plastic bag out of the passenger seat. By the time I got out Trevor had the other two paper bag's in his hand's.

" Have a nice time? "

" I could stand on one end throw a rock and hit the other end of town "

He laughed and started for the house.

I put all the cold stuff in the fridge as he put the other's in the cabnet's. I didn't get much and he pointed it out.

" I don't need a whole lot. There's enough to last me a few day's " He looked almost disapointed

I stuck around the house even though I wanted to explor the lake side. I wanted to go for a swim the water looked refreshing But I offered to deal with the power people just in case they didn't come to the door. Im sure it'd freak them out to see a six foot tall god like man walk out into the sun light and sparkle.

There was a coffee pot but with no power I gave it a sour look and made myself a salad instead.

I was still eating it when I heard a car pull up in front of the house. I took my bowl with me and walked out onto the front porch. It was a white utilty truck with a ladder hanging off the side. Two men stepped out. I opened the screen door and stood on the step's. One of them waved as the other grabbed a bag from the back of the truck. Then they both walked to me.

" Trevor Ash placed an order to have his power restored? "

" yep You've got the right place "

" I have a form he need's to fill out is he around? " He held up a clip bored.

" Ummm Maybe Here come in I think he's up stair's " I walked back through the screen door and held it open. He followed and gave a low whistle as he stepped inside the house

" I know right? " I laughed and called for Trevor.

A few second's later Trevor started down the stair's. His hair was wet and droplet's of water rain down his chest and stomach he only had a pair of pajama bottom's on. His chest was flat and nothing but muscle his stomach looked like a wash bord. I wanted to die right there.

" Afternoon what can I do for you? "

" I just need you to sign this and we'll have the power back on in no time " He handed Trevor the clip bord and he signed it handing it back to the man. He nodded and wished us a good afternoon and walked out.

I like a dumbass stood staring at Trevor's chest and stomach.

" see something you like? "

I blushed every shade of red. " I.. uh .. Im gonna go check out the lake " I walked towards the kitchen and set my bowl in the sink. I heard him laugh as he went back up stair's. I was mentaly kicking myself.

I went back to the room to change into some short's giving myself another mental kick in the ass for not buying atleast a few clothes while I was in town. All I had to swim in was a pair of boy short underwear and a tang top. I changed into that and pulled my pajama bottom's on. By the time I was done. The ceiling fan started to spin. " Power's on ". I grabbed a towel from the linen closet on my way out one of the bedroom door's was closed. Must be the one he'd taken.

I followed a little path that lead to the lake. Up close the water was clear and blue it sparkled in the sun.

It was smooth very tiny wave's rolled up onto the soft sand and little ripple's flowed back till it smoothed out. Tree's lined all the way around it. It looked cut off from the world.

I laid the towel out and pulled my pajama bottom's off and folded them before I sat it down on top of the towel. I was expecting the water to be cold since the air was chilly with winter almost on top of us. And I was right. My feet broke the water as I walked into it and were instantly freezing. I changed my mind and started walking along the edge my feet splashing a little with each step.

I think I made it about half a mile before I stopped. There was a tree down laying in the water blocking my path. So I turned around and started my way back. I laid down on the towel and used my pj's as a pillow. I needed some vitamin D. The air was chilly but the sun was warm so it balanced out nicely. I must have dosed off because I woke with a start yet again but this time I wasn't alone and it wasn't Trevor. I shot up taking the towel with me and covered my lower half.

His skin sparkled as the sun beat down on him. His eye's with out question were a bright red No mistaking it this time. He had a small shit eating grin on his face. He was short with sandy blonde hair.

I don't know if I was trying to speak or scream but the only thing that came out was a squeak. I spun on my heel's the towel falling and started for the house but I was slow I made it maybe five step's before he was standing in front of me. I skidded to a stop the sand giving under my feet throwing me off balance I panicked and this time I meant to scream. It was loud. He laughed and started for me. I wobbled back ward's. I knew I wasn't gonna get away but my insects took over. I almost laughed as what could have been my last thought was " Knew i'd alway's end up some one's lunch "

Before He could take another step toward's me I was suddenly looking at some one's back. It to sparkled in the sun. I heard a deep snarl come from him his body positioned in a low stance.

Trevor!
