Seth finally reached the room she was marked in. He gently placed her down so he can open the door. Once he opened he picked her back up. As he lifted her he asked her, "Left side or right side of the room?" He wanted to know so he could place her on the side she wanted. He was going to lay her down and then run to get her some food for her.

"Doesn't matter," Chloe whispered. "Right, I guess." She tried to shrug and groaned. "Will you... stay with me? I don't want to be alone," she admitted, blushing. She hated being by herself while trying to heal; she was almost completely helpless during the first few hours. Once she had a few hours sleep she would get back some strength, but it could be a full day - or even two - before she would be back to normal.

Seth gave her a soft smile. He gently laid her down on her bed. He picked up one of her hands and gives it a gentle kiss. "I'll stay, as soon as you fall asleep I'll run an get you a small salad and be back here in no time." He spoke to her softly. going through all that, she have must have had a head ache. Seth just figure she might have, he knows he would if he went through that. He sat on the floor next to the bed as he gently held her hand. Unknowingly he began singing. He sang in Latin. The song he sang was called prayer. (view spoiler)[(if I remember it correctly. it was like a Latin English mix kind of song. I heard it in the movie quest for Camelot the cartoon I grew up watching) (hide spoiler)] He sang softly to himself.

Chloe smiled at his words. "Thank you. Food will help some, but rest helps more." I don't know why I'm always so exhausted after being healed. It's really annoying. She closed her eyes. In seconds, she was fast asleep, a small smile on her face.

Seth sat and stayed for a bit making sure she was fast asleep. As he was sure she was out, he went a grabbed a quick salad. Not even five minutes later he was back.He placed the salad with options of dressing on the side onto the lamp desk that was next to the bed. He sat back down on the floor next to her. He laid his head down on the bed and feel asleep himself. He slept for a little while. He began having one of his night mares of his fear. he feared his past was going to find him. his parents were going to take him back home. He didn't want to. He was afraid they were looking for him. In his sleep he whispered prayers. One after the other. It numbed his mouth and blistered his tongue. His necklace glowed a reddish orange and was burning his chest.

Chloe slept for almost two full hours before she woke up. She was startled by the red-orange glow coming from near the side of her bed. She almost screamed at the sight of a guy laying his head on her bed before she remembered what had happened the night before. She sat up, stifling a groan and looked to for the source of the light.

His... necklace? But why is it glowing? And, ugh, burning him from the smell of things? She looked at the back of his neck for a clasp. Once she found it, she removed the necklace, gasping loudly at the large burn mark beneath it. She didn't hesitate, but laid her hand on the mark and whispered a healing spell.

Her stomach growled in response. She bit her lip and looked around for that salad he promised her. She could see something on the table with her lamp; the room was really dark without the glow of that necklace. She reached to turn on the lamp, stretching herself above him to do so.

Seth woke up frantic from his nightmare. He saw that Chloe was awake. He went to ask how she was but groaned in pain instead. His tongue was blistered, again. He realized that he uttered prayers in his sleep again. He forced a smile trying to act as if he was ok. He didn't want to frighten her. He went to stretch from the nice nap he had and noticed his necklace was gone. He frantically looked for it till he saw it laying on the floor across the room. He hummed a curious hum of why it was over there but he picked it up and put it back on. It glowed again but it was very faint, practically unnoticeable. He walked back over to her and grabbed the salad for her. He also point to the few different dressings they had that he also got for her. unsure of what she liked so they were there for her. He smiled and sat on the other bed in the dorm as he watched her. Making sure she was ok.

"Thanks," Chloe said as he handed her the salad. "Why did you put that necklace back on? It was burning you so I took it off," she said, shrugging. She finally managed to open the salad. She grabbed the packet of raspberry walnut vinaigrette and poured half of it onto her salad. She stirred it up to spread the dressing around and stated to eat. She moaned at the taste.

"You can sit over here, you know. I don't bite," she smiled and winked at him.

Seth smiled and moved over to her. He had to wait a little before he could talk again. He was waiting for the blistering to go away and disappear. It usually didn't take long. He thought back to her question. He reach his hand up to tap her on the shoulder. He waited for her to look at him. He then placed his hand upon his necklace grabbing it. He clinched his hand on it tight. there was a loud hissing sound coming from it for it was burning him. He winced in pain. Then he took his hand off and showed her that it was burnt and had an imprint of his necklace. He pointed to his necklace and then with his other hand made a cross sign in the air meaning it's blessed and is holy. He hoped that the info he just gave her she would pick up on the hint that he wasn't holy.

Chloe frowned as she watched him get burned by his necklace again. She shook her head at him. Was he insane? "You can't talk right now, can you? Is your mouth burnt too?" She turned to face him and sat her salad beside her on the bed. "Let me try something." She reached to put her hands on his cheeks, then whispered a healing spell to get rid of burns. She wasn't sure if it would work without direct contact with the burnt area, but she could try. "Is that better?" She took his burnt hand and healed it as well.

"So crosses burn you? Or just anything holy? You're what, a vampire?" She thought about it for a second, then added, "Or a demon?" she whispered. She'd heard all kinds of horror stories about demons and half-demons killing her kind indiscriminately. But he wasn't like that, was he? I mean, he'd saved her life just a couple of hours ago. He was a nice guy, from what she knew of him. So he couldn't be a demon, could he?

Seth watched her as she did her healing spells. When she attempted to heal his mouth, it surprisingly worked. He looked away as she healed his hand. When she began asking questions to understand, he looked away and frowned. He wasn't sure why, but he felt he could tell her. All he hoped was that she wouldn't demand him to leave and never come back.

He began telling her about his parents. He spoke in a whisper. "I am a demon mix. Its from my parents. My father was a death demon while my mother was a very large sea serpent. They both were as unholy as you could imagine. My father killed and stole souls. The proper name for a death demon is Lich. And my father was a very powerful one. So strong that anything holy or anything blessed causes severe damage and weakness. My mother spent her time in the seas destroying large ships and devouring everything and everyone on them. My father decided to make her bare his child, me. She didn't seem to mind apparently. After I was born, they wanted me to do the same. they taught me all the dark things they knew and have done. I ran away when I was 13. I did what I could to be a good man. My heritage may be marked by the damned and evil by my heart isn't. I can't even have a religion or I'll get hurt. I say one small prayer and my tongue blisters. I can't step in a church or onto any holy or blessed graveyards or land at that matter. Any object blessed or holy burns me. I got my necklace blessed to keep my powers and to keep me weak. I don't want the evil in me getting any stronger. I do what I can not to let that side out. I had no choice last night. I couldn't resist. I see a woman in distress I can't help but run and help her. I don't want to be evil. But my genes are. English isn't my first language, nor my second. I just learned to speak it a few years ago. I speak parsaltongue and speak dead. The next I learned was French and Latin. These other ones I've learned were from other families taking me in and helping me. raising me. The most resent one taught me English, and found this school. I came here to stay hidden from my parents. I don't know if they're looking for me. I pray every night hoping they aren't. Cause if they are and they do find me, every one and everything will ne destroyed. They don't care. They love it." He placed his elbows up on his knees and he buried his face in his hands fighting back tears.

Chloe picked her salad back up and went back to eating, though she had to stop before long. She had far too good an imagination to listen to him talk about what his parents were like without images of the deeds he mentioned forming in her mind. She sat the salad back on the table with the lamp and scooted closer to him.

"You aren't evil. You saved my life earlier. I can't thank you enough for that." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. "Will you hold me while I sleep? Maybe that will help you with that nightmare you seemed to be having. I know I'll feel safer. When you held me earlier, I felt safer than I have in a long time," she admitted, a soft blush rising on her cheeks.

Seth looked at her. Hearing her sweet voice say he wasn't evil made his heart fly. He smiled. She made him feel like he was good, that he wasn't a monster his parents wanted him to be. When she asked if he'd hold her as she slept made his stomach tickle." Of coarse." He smiled. He climbed on the bed and positioned himself to where he was near the wall and he one arm out for her to lay on him.

Chloe found the lid to her salad - she'd almost sat on it - and put it back on then laid back down. Then she noticed his position. Her cheeks heated further; did he really expect her to lay on him? She sat up enough to turn off the light, rolled onto her side to face him and scooted up to his side. She put her arm around him, nuzzled his neck and went to move closer. She ended up half laying on him, with her side still on her bed. "You're warm," she murmured sleepily. With that small amount of food in her belly, she would probably sleep the rest of the night. Unless, of course, something woke her up.

Seth smiled as she laid down. When she nuzzled his neck he chuckled a little for it tickled. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. He soon fell asleep after she did. He wanted to make sure she was asleep before he did.

A while later, Chloe began to dream. She didn't often have nightmares but this one was a doozy. She began kicking and muttering, mostly nonsense but with the occasional 'No' thrown in. She was reliving the attack from earlier, but with no one to rescue her. She thrashed in her sleep and woke up screaming.

Seth felt her moving and kicking. He woke up when she screamed. His instant reaction was him jumping off the bed and getting prepared to fight. Noticing quickly that there was no one there, he turned to look at Chloe. "Hey, you ok? whats wrong?" He sat on the be next to her placing one hand on hers.

"I'm fine," Chloe whispered. "Or at least I will be soon. I think I had a nightmare." She climbed onto his lap and cuddled up to his chest. "Just hold me, please. I'll be fine if you hold me." She was shaking with fear. Though his presence was starting to calm her, her shaking slowing down.

Seth wasnt sure what else to say. He looked at her concerned. His stomach felt to be tickled again when she crawled into his lap. Her plead to be held made him wish he could do more. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. He began to sing softly again. He sang the song Nothings Going To Harm You from Sweeny Todd. He didnt know what else to do beside hold her and sing to her.

"I dreamed about that attack. Only no one was there to save me," she said as tears formed in her eyes. She blinked them back and snuggled into him further. She smiled at the sound of him singing to her. She liked that. She wrapped one arm around his waist and laid her other hand on his chest.

Once he finished the song he was singing, she pulled back enough to look into his face. He really is handsome. Even if he is a demon. He's nothing like the ones from all those old stories. He's a good guy, a really good guy. "Will you... kiss me?"

The song he sang was one of his favorites. He sang it a lot to himself when he was alone and feeling down. It always lifted his spirits. When she told him about her night mare, he gently rubbed her back to help calm her. Then she asked for a kiss. His cheeks now became red. How is it this girl can make me feel weak? Her sweetness is very charming. Has she captured my heart? He thought to himself. May be the kiss will tell me. He thought again. He lifted one hand and brushed her hair behind her ear. He placed it gently upon her cheek, then gently leaned in for a kiss. He moved in 90% of the way. He left the other 10% for her to move in toward him. If she decided she didnt want it, all she had to do was turn her face, then he would give her a gentle peck on the cheek. But if she was serious, she would lean in the rest of the way.

Chloe swallowed hard, but moved in towards him after a couple of seconds. She could barely believe she'd dared ask for this, it was completely and totally out of character for her. But he made her comfortable, made her feel safe. She knew he wouldn't hurt her, not on purpose, not after saving her life.

She sighed softly, happily when their lips met. It was gentle and brief, but it warmed her to the core. She smiled shyly at him when she pulled back. She could only hope he liked that as much as she had, that she hadn't disappointed him somehow.

He waited patiently for her move. He wasnt sure how she was going to react. When he felt her lips, his tension and nervousness went away. He smiled as she kissed him for the short time. When she moved away, he couldnt help but lick his lips. He liked the way her lips taste and felt. He whispered to her. "I have got the craziest butterflies in the pit of my stomach right now. It tickles so bad." He chuckled slightly and smiled.

Chloe giggled softly. "Me too," she admitted. "That was my first kiss," she said, blushing softly again. She snuggled up to his chest once more, giving a happy little sigh as she did so. "I should try and sleep some more." She yawned but made no move to get off his lap. She was comfortable and warm and wanted to stay like this for the rest of her life. And that thought scared the daylights out of her. At least she hadn't said it out loud, only thought it.

He smiled. He's had many girls force kisses upon him but he's never really kissed a girl himself so it was like his first kiss as well. He wanted another one. He smiled even bigger when she snuggled close to him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. He gently moved back a little as she was still on his lap. he leaned up against the wall and got comfortable. As she was laying on him, he began to hum a song. The same one he just sang to her when she woke up from the nightmare. He hummed the song until he fell asleep.

((Sorry for the delay. I got distracted by something shiny. This will probably be my last post for the night as well.))

Chloe smiled to herself. He hadn't asked her to move. He even seemed to want her to stay where she was! She was nearly asleep when he started moving to sit back against the wall. When he stopped moving, she turned her head to place a light kiss just above the cross on his necklace. She fell asleep not long afterwards, a big, goofy grin on her face.

Seth had a pleasant dream for once. He was laying with Chloe by a camp fire under the stars. A grin grew on his face in his sleep. He felt needed and wanted for once. Well, from someone he wanted at least. He felt like a good man for once in his life. He wanted to stay with her. He felt a strong connection too. She wasn't even scared of him when he spoke of his horrible parents and his evil nature. He felt as if he was the luckiest guy alive.

Chloe woke up early the next morning, around 7 am. She'd been waking up at that time or earlier for so many years she no longer needed an alarm clock. She woke up early even in summer, when she didn't have school, to have more time outside. She loved being outside. She would live outside if she could. Predators made that impossible.

She tried to stretch to get rid of the kink in her neck from the strange position and hit the top of her head on Seth's chin. "Ow!" She fell to the side, off his lap onto her bed, and put a hand to her head. She would have a bruise later. "Sorry, Seth. I forgot you were there. Somehow. Guess I got a little too comfortable."

Seth was dreaming happily. He was happy and feeling good. He then felt smack under his chin. He woke up rubbing his chin looking around and saw Chloe on the bed. "Its ok." He asked her as he held out his hand to place upon hers. She looked like she was in pain to him.

"I'll be fine. I'll probably have a bruise, but that's nothing new. I bruise easily," she said with a half-hearted shrug. She rolled onto her back and laid her legs over his lap. She linked her fingers with his. "I'm still tired. I hate being injured." She frowned a bit. She debated asking him to stay here with her, but didn't want to impose. He was likely bored. Besides, he would need to go sign in soon. She didn't know why he hadn't done so last night.

He frowned. He didn't like hearing she bruised easily. But every ones is different. He smiled widely when he felt her hold his hand. He tightened his grip just enough to show he liked holding her hand. He relaxed his head against the wall. He then remembered he had papers to fill out. He quickly looked to her. "Hey uh, can you help me fill out some papers? I need to so I can register."

"I can try. I'm not sure how much help I'll be since I should stay in bed. I don't even have any of my things. But they might be downstairs; Mom and Dad were supposed to bring them yesterday." She sighed. "I should have just come with them instead of being stubborn and traveling here on my own. Then I wouldn't be injured." But then we might never have met.

"That's ok, you get your rest. I'll work on it. You rest and get your strength." He smiled and gave her hand a gentle rub. "Would you like me to rub your feet till you fall asleep?" He asked her. He gave her a smile.

Chloe grinned. "That's sweet. I doubt I'll sleep anymore though. Not for a couple of hours at least. You're welcome to use my desk. But do you mind checking to see if my things are downstairs first? Please? Then I could at least read or listen to music or something."

He was such a sweet guy, how could he even think he was evil? He couldn't help who - or what - his parents were any more than anyone else could. She sometimes, like now, wished she hadn't been born a deer shifter. Or at least that she didn't smell like a deer even while in human form. Her parents didn't. Well, not much anyway; all shifters smell a little like their animal when in human form.

Seth smiled to her. "Gladly." He said as he stood up and took a deep stretch. He turned and began walking to the door. "Where would i need to go to find your stuff?" He turned around and asked. He wasnt sure where he was going.

Chloe opened her mouth then closed it again. She shrugged. "I'm not sure. There should be some kind of common room on the ground floor though. I expect it would be in there." I just hope Mama didn't spell it so no one else can touch it. That would prevent theft but it was also make it harder for someone to help me. "Thank you so much. I really appreciate this."

((There's a kitchen/common area on the ground floor of each dorm. I made topics for them. You can just say he went and got the stuff - on not - here though.

I'm about to get off for the night. I may not be on tomorrow; Saturdays are always busy for me.))

Seth smiled. "You are very welcome." He turned around and headed out the door. He walked around for a little trying to find his way. He eventually found where he was going. He looked around to see if he found any luggage.
((did they have her stuff there or not yet?))

((Forgot to specify that. Oops. Yeah, it's there. A large suitcase, a backpack and a computer bag. Up to you whether it's spelled or not. This will be my last post for the night.))

Chloe watched him leave. She sighed softly. He was cute, really cute, hot even, but he was part demon. He didn't act like one, but he'd admitted to having a temper and using his powers when he lost it. Like he did last night. Still, he had saved her life. And she was pretty sure she was falling for him. Hard. She missed him already and he was only downstairs! She shook herself as if to snap herself out of it. Naturally, it didn't work. All it did was make her realize how sore she really was.

Seth found the suite cases. He walked over and reached down to grab the handle to pick it up and got zapped. Just a small electricity zap. it was strong enough to make you pull away. He groaned in frustration. He began to walk around to find something rubber or plastic. He finally found some in the garbage. He still kept getting zapped. He soon decided to just grab them and run. He finally was back. As he walked through the door with hair was all spiked up and smoking. "Here's your bags." He spoke with a groan in his voice. He leaned against the door and slid down and let out a deep breath.

Chloe waited patiently for his return. Well, somewhat patiently - she was bored and now she didn't even have anyone to talk to!

Her eyes widened at his appearance upon his return. Oh my. Mama put a strong spell on them then. I should have gone down there with him. She got out of bed, stifling a groan of pain as she moved. She slowly walked over to him and sat down beside him. She reached for the hand closest to her so she could inspect it for damage. "Let me see your other hand, too, so I can heal all your injuries." Then I'll have to finish that salad and I probably will sleep. I'm using too much magic, but he keeps getting injured. I can't stand to see anyone injured, especially him after he saved my life.

Seth looked to her and smiled. "Hey, its ok. Ill be fine. I just got a little zapped thats all. Ill need to fix my hair thought." He giggled as he patted it down. "You just get your rest and finish your food. Youre going to need your strength." He stood up and bent over to lift her. He slid one hand behind her back and his other hand under her knees. He lifted her with ease and placed her back onto the bed. He turned to her salad, picked it up while taking off the lid, and handed it to her. He walked over to her bags and pushed them to her slowly.

Chloe smiled when he said those things and picked her up again. Of course, she ignored his words and said the healing spell in her head. She'd learned a few months ago that she no longer needed to speak the simplest spells aloud. By the time he put her down, his messed up hair was the only sign of his having been zapped. She started to eat as he pushed her bags towards her. Since he'd just touched her, he should be able to touch the bags - without getting zapped - now as he would have small amounts of her DNA on him. She smiled to herself when that turned out to be true. He had minute amounts of her skin on his hand so the bags hadn't zapped him this time.

"After you finish your food, you get some rest. I'll finish my papers as you sleep." After he pushed her bags to her, he began to fluff up her pillow. He sat on the bed next to her and smiled. "You'll soon be well again." He smiled again to her.

"Yeah, well, it'll happen sooner if you'll stop getting yourself injured," she said with a wink. If he hadn't realized it before, he would now know she had just healed him despite his asking her not to do so. "I can't stand to see anyone injured." Especially you, she thought to herself as she took another bite of her salad. She would be lucky to finish the salad before she fell asleep again. The healing spells had been small, but she hadn't recovered sufficiently from her own injuries to spare the energy for healing others. Yet she couldn't help herself, especially where he was concerned. She was falling for him, fast.

He looked at himself to see what she was talking about. He realized she healed him. He looked back at her and lifted his hand. He had it closed except his index finger. He rotated his hand back and forth in a way to say naughty. "I would have been fine silly." He smiled to her. "It was a little shock. It actually became a little fun after awhile." He giggled. "It felt like a large burst of energy that it gave. I felt like running." He laughed some more. "Ill be fine, I'm a man. Men get hurt often. Ill be ok." He smiled. He then got up and went over to the desk where he placed his papers He began finishing them.

Chloe shook her head and rolled her eyes. "You're incorrigible." She finished her salad and sat the empty container on the small table by her bed. "Besides," said, then paused to yawn, "I can't stand to see you hurt." She blushed lightly; she hadn't meant to say it so bluntly. Not that she would take it back, it was the truth.

She yawned again and laid back down, rolling onto her side to smile at him. She closed her eyes and went to sleep almost immediately.

Seth was filling out his papers when he heard her say her statement. He looked over to her and smiled. That made him feel so happy. He reached over to brush her hair out of her face and to caress her face. She was so soft. She was sweet to him, and so very nice. He felt so lucky to have met her. He watched her sleep for a little. The peaceful look on her face made him melt. She didnt fear him or cower before him. It made him feel good about himself. Maybe im not a monster. He thought to himself.

Chloe turned her head into his hand when he caressed her face. She unconsciously pressed closer. A soft whimper left her lips when he pulled his hand away. She slept soundly, blissfully unaware of her actions. Unaware her movements gave away her growing feelings for him.

He looked back to his papers. He didnt notice that he was finished. He looked back to her when his stomach growled at him. He forgotten he hasnt eaten yet. He looked for a piece of paper to write on. He found a spare paper. He wrote her a quick note in case she woke up before he got back. He placed it on the desk next to her, he picked up the empty salad dish, and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead. The letter said:

Went to grab a bite to eat, i shall be right back.
