They drove for at least half an hour until they came across a cabin. It was not too big nor was it too small there were about 2 windows on each side of the cabin they rolled up by the entrance "Home sweet home" Ari said in relief "You wanna head inside while I go park the ATV at the back"

"I'll go inside," said faith exhausted from her fear of falling off the ATV.

Ari reached for his pocket and fished out a key he tossed it towards faith before he drove off a couple of meters to park the ATV.

Faith opened the front door, she walked in she was instantly pushed back out and onto the floor, she let out a snarl as she felt fell face being licked by something when she opened her eyes she saw a dog. She stood up but the dog was twirling around in happiness. A moment later Ari arrived and the dog instantly changed targets, he dashed towards Ari and jumped onto him, the dog licked furiously at Ari before he backed down and went back inside. Ari smiled at faith and said "So you've met the famous Boomer"

They both headed inside "You hungry?" Ari asked as he closed the door behind him

"A bit I guess" Faith replied. Ari nodded at her and walked off she guessed he went to get food for them.

Her back was hurting a lot more than it was earlier she guessed that it was because of Boomer jumping on her. She limped over to the nearest seat which was an armchair right next to a coffee table she sat down and looked around the place there were 2 couches and the coffee table in between them, there was a fireplace on the opposite end of her. A moment later she heard Ari walk up next to her, he handed her what looked to be french toast and a glass of orange juice. He plopped down onto the couch and said "You like french toast yeh... If you don't I'll get you something else."

"No french toast is fine" faith snapped, she didn't want Ari to work after he carried for over 15 minutes and drove about half an hour. He was probably exhausted and all she wanted him to do was to get some rest.

"How do you feel?" Ari asked while taking a big bite

"Mmh, my body hurts a lot more than before but I can cope" Said faith quickly devouring her first loaf of toast

"We'll get ya patched up right after lunch," Ari said with a big smile on his face

"Why don't you stay at the prison?" Faith asked with one of her eyebrows raised she saw Ari stare at her his smile was widening, she got a feeling that he was going to say something stupid.

"AAh I don't like the prison because it's too crowded and when one person discovers something shocking they will start telling others and the word just spreads like a virus," Ari said "And well there isn't any privacy where I can watch my hentai videos in peace" Ari started laughing nearly choking on a piece of bread. Faith stared at him, grinning at his childish behavior she couldn't understand how a 26-year-old could be so childlike but that was something she liked about him he never took somethings seriously and when things do go down he somehow makes the situation feel better.

"Well if you didn't like the prison why did you pick this cabin why not a different one, what's so special about this place?" Faith asked more curious than the previous question.

Ari didn't have a smile but instead, looked like he was processing the question. Then after a couple of seconds, he smiled again and said "It's a nice place not too big not too small the bedroom has two beds one big and one small, and there's a piano that I always play on this cabin is pretty isolated so no one can hear me sing. But the best thing about this cabin is that there is a bunker at the back where I parked the ATV so if we need to get to cover because we get invaded we can head down there.

"What do you keep in the bunker?"

"Pornos and canned food and water," Ari said with a crackle "Why are you asking me these questions about the cabin?" Ari said as he raised his eyebrow

Faith had to think a while before she answered "I was just curious to see why you picked this cabin instead of the bigger cabins in Hope County "

"Oh alright then."

Both Faith and Ari had finished their food. Ari offered to take Faith's plate while she heads off towards the bedroom, Faith accepted his offer and walked off. Ari headed towards the kitchen lost in his thoughts again he was worried about the sheriff he didn't want to stay in the cabin for too long he wanted to take the sheriff back to the prison and head off to whitetail mountain to face Jacob before he goes against the father.

He heard Faith scream and then he realized he hadn't told her that Peaches was sleeping in the bedroom, he quickly dashed towards the bedroom to see faith on the floor and Peaches on her stomach, Peaches wasn't attacking as she did with the Peggies instead she was rubbing her head on faiths chest Ari was surprised but then he probably thought that Peaches was super lonely the whole day and she didn't have any play pals other than Boomer. Ari was gonna get Cheese Burger from The Whitetails but wanted to get him last out of Boomer and Peaches.

He heard faith gasp when she got up, she stretched and then walked inside she sat down on the small bed and leaned against the wall.

"Alright, so where are you hurting," Ari asked as he walked in, he picked up the first aid kit from under the big bed.

"My face and my body hurt the most. And my leg only hurts when I walk or put pressure on it" She answered. Ari walked up to her and cleaned up her face with a wet tissue and then applied a couple of bandaids on her cuts, and he gave her an ice pack for her bruises. Then he asked faith to roll up her dress so he could see the injuries on her body, he felt perverted when he said that. When she rolled up her dress he could see a couple of small bullet wounds and a couple of scars that seemed to be there before which made him feel bad for faith and her dark past. He cleaned the wounds and then stopped the bleeding before he applied bandaids. Then he asked her to show her back. She obeyed his order and turned around her back wasn't as wounded but it had some more scars and only 3 bullets holes on her back Ari cleaned the wounds and stopped it's bleeding and applied the bandaids. He asked her to roll her dress back down but not all the way enough to expose her legs while also covering her. Her legs weren't damaged bad there was a bunch of scratches and about 4 bullet wounds on the right leg he did the same procedure he did with the other bullet wounds. Once he was satisfied he asked her to roll her dress down.

"Thanks!" Faith said she placed both her hands on Ari's and smiled at him

"There aren't any other wounds are there"

"No, You got em' all"

Ari smiled at her and sat down next to her "Soo I was wondering if you can take care of Peaches and Boomer tomorrow when I head out to bring the sheriff back."
"Yeh sure I'm not going to do anything other than stay here and snoop around your cabin."

"HA, AH. Thank you" Ari grabbed her and pulled her towards him for a hug but trying his best not to hurt her in the process. While still hugging her Ari said "Ahhh, you wanna go and have a shower or do you want to have one tomorrow"

"Tomorrow would be a better day to have a shower and I know your exhausted from everything we just did today. Because I know I am." Faith said as she pulled away from Ari's grip and yawned.

"I'll give you a heads up the small bed is for Peaches and Boomer the big bed is for humans like me and you," Ari said with a small giggle

"Oh that explains the weird smell on the sheets" Faith said with a smile

"Yeh, so your gonna sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the couch?" Ari said nervously

"Why would you say that? Your sleeping in the bed with me" Faith said her cheeks going red although her face was holding no emotions.

"Aight, then I'll go get Boomer and Peaches and put them to sleep."

Ari got the two animals to hop onto the small bed and they curled up and went to sleep. Boomer had his tongue hanging out his mouth and he slept licking the bedsheets.

Ari grabbed out a blue denim jacket, a black shirt and some black jeans he laid them on the couch. And walked off towards the large bed where he saw faith tucked in and waiting for him to appear, and when he did her blue eyes shone like the ocean her face was still bruised up and had bandaids on her cuts but she still looked beautiful. She scooted over towards the wall giving way to Ari as he plopped down onto the bed "Shit forgot to turn off the lights" Ari got back up and walked over to the light switch and turned it off he stood still waiting for his eyes to adjust in the darkness. A couple of seconds later he could see the outlines of most of the objects and the moonlight helped create some extra light. He wandered over to Faith once again and hopped onto the bed.

He turned to look at faith and she was still awake staring at him with her blue eyes which glistened from the moonlight, he saw her smile and her hand as she reached for his. Her hands were soft and warm and he knew his were freezing and rough. They laid there glaring at each other eyes, her eyes were like he was looking into the ocean, he could feel something pushing him towards her. His face started to burn with embarrassment he didn't know what to do he wanted to kiss her but he was afraid that she would reject him, his biggest fear has always been rejection. When Ari returned from his thoughts he realized that faith had her eyes closed and was sleeping he was about to beat the shit out of himself until her eyes opened again, she stared at him again and she moved a small bit over towards him they were nearly touching noses. But this time Ari didn't want to think about his fears he just wanted to be with her, he leaned forward his noes touching hers he used his free hand to grab her back and he pulled her towards him for a kiss he was thinking she was going to push him away but she didn't she let go of his hand and rolled over onto his stomach, she pinned him down by grabbing both of his hands and kissing him hard. Ari could feel the love in the air as he pulled his hands away from her and grasped her back pulling her into his chest even tighter he could feel that a kiss won't be enough to satisfy. He grabbed her off him and got on top of her, he pulled off his shirt in a quick motion and saw faith grinning at him he leaned down to give her another kiss then he moved down towards her neck and bit down on it as if he were a vampire. Faith let out a gentle moan and bit her bottom lip, her hands were grasping tight on Ari's back. But Ari wanted more till he realized that he didn't have any type of contraception which made him boil in anger and yet he thought he was prepared in every situation. Faith's hands slowly went from his back and down to his bottom he felt like his skin was burning because of the way Faith ran her hands down his back. Knowing that there wasn't any type of contraception he didn't want to go in but he still wanted to continue and savor his special moment with faith, he could feel his pants being slid down his legs he slowly lifted faiths dress and started to kiss her body slowly crawling up and down but he had limitations because of the bandages he had applied on her, he slowly went in between he legs and went back up he could feel his body heat up drastically. He felt her running her hands all-round' his body her soft touch made him want to go in more but he had to restrict himself which made him sad but eventually, he ran out of body and he was exhausted by the intensity of what had just happened. He crawled out from under the blanket and cuddled up with faith.

"Hehe next time I won't hold back," Ari said in a teasing voice

"You sure about that because you were really weak back there"

"Hey I had to restrict myself self K. I don't want neither of us to get an STI nor do I want you to fall pregnant."

"Yeh, Yeh" Faith teased "we'll see what happens next time"

Ari felt as if he and faith had just had A new start to their relationship. His view of Faith had changed and he thought he was in love with her.

Authors Note: I was not expecting Faith and Ari going off at each other I guess I got lost in the moment when writing or Mabey it was because of the rain we were having in Australia making me think of a more romantic atmosphere.
