Walking down the hallway I stop at the painting of gran and grandad. I lean up and really have to stretch to press the tiny button that allows me access to dad's safe. I quickly enter the code. There are a lot of legal papers in here which dad would not like anyone to know about. Putting the box on the lowest shelf, I give it one last stroke before locking it all up. When the picture came back down you wouldn't even know anything was behind it.
Giving my chest a slight rub to try and ease some of the emotion, that I know is not mine. I carry on and walk into my room, it's just how I left it clothes thrown all over the bed, mostly the same tops just in different colours. Yeah I know not the most original, but you try buying nice clothes to then have your sparing partner rip, break and now stretch them so not worth it.
I collect them all up and throw them on the mini settee at the bottom of my bed. I sit down on my bed and the ache is getting worse, I can feel Emmies anxiety. s**t! I can't see me getting any sleep at all, all I really want to do is go get her. This connection seems to be getting stronger and stronger.
I give up and go run a bath. It's become my little luxury ever since we got here. I even found loads of things you can put in a bath, they all smell divine. The bubbles the candles it's a guilty pleasure, I love hell, I love my family but water and baths and showers, come a very close second.
When the water is hot enough, and the bubbles have taken over I throw my long hair up into a messy bun and jump in. I lean back and close my eyes, finally able to relax and get some stress and tension away.
"I've brought you some food," I was startled by Urbans voice. I quickly check to make sure all the bubbles are hiding my important bits, and sigh in relief that they are.
He places a small table with a selection of food beside the tub within easy reach. He then pulls the toilet seat down and sits on that.
"Thanks, I take it you want to talk?" I sigh out.
"Just need you to tell me the basics, so I can report back to your dad, mostly." he says.
I pick a grape off the plate and pop it in my mouth, then finally let myself look at him. He's only wearing lime green shorts. I arch my eyebrow, "could we do this later, preferably when we're both dressed, and I've had some sleep?"
"if we do it now it'll get there sooner and maybe stop him coming to find you, it's already past time. Once a day report remember or he's coming to find you." he chuckles. The i***t actually chuckled because my dad has become over protective and weird in the six months we've been here.
" fine, you got the device? " he pulls it out of his shorts pocket and waves it at me. It's sort of like a mobile phone but it only let's you send words to one other device, which dad has obviously.
"he's already sent 13 messages, Luna." Urban says.
"Write, send Pinky payment. They're safe in the safe. Witch found waiting for meeting. Let you know payment."
Now it was Urban's turn to raise his eyebrow. He quickly typed in what I told him and pressed send. Then put the device back in his pocket. "so, what happened, who kidnapped you? And you found the Witch already?"
"which question do you want me to answer first." I put my head back to rest and close my eyes the anxiety from Emmie was getting worse, but excitement was just below the surface. I'm exhausted, I really need to shut these feelings out.
Urban still hasn't answered me so I crack an eye open to see him kneeling by the side of the tub just starring at me. I catch my breath and look him straight in the eyes, "can I help you?"
"sorry" omg! Is he blushing! Urban is blushing. He quickly moves back to where he was originally and starts fiddling with the hem of his shorts not making eye contact.
With a sigh I say, "I don't know who kidnapped me. But I think I found a coven sister. Shes a half and half too. But half shifter. It's her bike."
I can see the shock on Urbans face, then I could see exactly when he got it.
"She's the Witch with the book, and she helped you escape her alpha. s**t!! What the hells he going to do to her if he finds out? Why didn't you bring her with you?" he's getting agitated the more he speaks.
I start to feel my own anger raise, but try to push it down as best I can. I quickly explain everything, including the fact I can feel what she's feeling.
Urban just sits there open mouthed and shocked. God he's gorgeous. I need out of this tub, I need sleep. Yeah, I'll be better after some sleep.
"I'll get you a towel." Urban says as he gets up and leaves the room. Thank lucifer, I get out quick, dry and think of my Pj's. Ahh! Dressed. Pink camisole and shorts. Magic is well magic,and I'm so tired right now. I walk into my bedroom, brushing my hair out, when Urban walks back in with a towel.
He looks at me completely lost for a second. I see the exact moment he remembers I have magic. He shrugs then throws the towel on the ever increasing pile on my sofa.
"Can you stay with me, I really don't feel right, right now. I hate to ask with everything, but I need my friend. Please." I ask and start rubbing the middle of my chest again.
Urban doesn't say a word just walks to the side of the bed gets ontop of the blankets. He pulls up the blanket so I can scoot under them. When I've done that and I'm comfortable. Urban wraps his arm around me and snuggles into the back of me.
"Sweet dreams, princess." is the last thing I hear before darkness claims me.
