"Whose room is this?" I asked
"Mine" Nathan answered like it was nothing.
I blushed deeply. Thanking God that it was dark in the room
Nathan set me gently down on the bed, covering me up.
"N-Nathan?"
"Yes?"
"Um…c-could you stay with me?" I asked shyly
Nathan lay down next to me, on top of the covers. I cuddled into him, feeling him tense but relax.
"Nathan?"
"Hmm?"
"Why are you so protective of me?" I asked
"…"
"Nathan?"
"It's because…I-I love you"
"I-I love you too Nathan" I smiled in relief that the feeling was returned
I felt Nathan lift my chin up and his lips pressed against my own. I felt my heart begin to race and I leaned more into him. Suddenly, Nathan was gone. I looked over to see him pressed against the wall.
"I-I'm sorry" I whispered
"Don't be" he replied, slowly walking back over to me.
He lay down next to me, wrapping his arms around me.
"Nathan…can we stay with the Denali?" I asked
"But Terra…the newborn" he protested
"Then change me" I suggested
"T-Terra" he stuttered in shock.
"I want this Nathan…I want you to change me" I pleaded
"Alright, but in a couple of months and we can stay" he sighed.
I smiled and hugged him tightly.
"I love you" I whispered
"I love you too" he whispered back.
