((Sorry I didn't meant to worry you! I've just been crazy busy and because of it my school took a hit and my mom took this. :( ))

Nickoli smiled walking to the bathroom with Lizzie. He grinned as she went about her way. It was cute how she moved about humming along. It reminded him of a theme song. "Anything I can do to help?" He asked, though he figured she was almost done. HE was quiet content just watching her for hours. Honestly he was. Smiling some he walked over and felt the water. It was perfect in fact this whole senario was just perfect.

Lizzie looked up hearing Nick and shook he head. "No, I think I got everything... Unless you need help stripping. Then I think we can help eachother." she said a bit seductively, a sexy smirk on her lips. Who would have thought that after a tiring time in helping a relative giving birth, that she could turn the tables to having a maybe hot moment between her and her boyfriend.

Nickoli blinked a few times, taking in a deep breath like he was thinking. "Hm..well if that's the options...I'd love some help." He said with a grin. It amazed him how quickly Lizzie could turn the tables. He loved it. Absolutely loved it. Running his hand through his hair he smiled and moved closer sliding his hands slowly around her waist. "You are absolutely amazing." He whispered softly in her ear. This had been such a whirlwind time for him. It had the ability to be one of the worst times in his life. Instead, however, Lizzie was here guiding him through it. It was the luckiest and most wonderful thing that had happened yet.

Grinning when Nick agreed to her new idea, she giggled. Signing happily as he ran a hand threw her hair, she allowed herself to be pulled to him by the waist. Wrapping her arms slowly and sensually around her dear Nickoli's neck she kissed his collar bone. "You're not so bad yourself." she whispered, putting a bit of seductive spin in her voice. Her hands then slowly moved down him as she back up from his arms only a step. Her hands ran over his tanned lover abs, towards his pant's waist line, and shivered in the wonderful realization that this man/wolf was all her's. Smirking up as him she then ran her hands up underneath his shirt more, pulling it up and over his head, ignoring it as it slowly fell to the floor. Loving the look of him she then nodded and grinned. "Now your turn, whatever you want to help me with first." she said seductively, pressing up against him and blowing in his sad before slowly peaking herself back from him so he could look at her easily.

Nickoli grinned as his shirt fell away from him. Looking over at Lizzie he rubbed his jaw wondering what he should remove first. His grin fading to a look of curiosity and debate. Reaching over he picked Lizzie up setting her on the counter with one quick motion before slowly removing her boots. "Shoes first, helps the pants come off." He said with a wink. He honestly couldn't tell if her fire red booty shorts would be hard to remove or not. He was up for the challenge if nothing else it would be a funny moment. Laughter was the third best thing in the world. Following only talking, and kissing. Nickoli looked down at himself. "Well this isn't even." He stated with a laugh. "You have, one, two, three, four, five, including the boots peices to take off. I have three including the shirt." A mischievous grin came over his face. "I think I should take off two things to make it even." His voice was deep as he talked now.

Lizzy gasped lightly as she was lifted in a smooth movement by her hunky man. Rawr. Man his muscles were hot. He was more then something. He was hotness and sexyness with a dash of amazing personality. Perfect. His warmth was something worth hogging in her book and his smile was infectious. The blonde snapped out of her dreamy thoughts as her leather clad rear met the cold marble counter. Watching him unbuckle and remove her boots she laughed hearing his words. Wiggling her ankle sock clothes foot at his face she laughed. "Six including these. But i will be nice and let you take two things off. And I will let you count my socks as shoes. Aren't I so gracious and nice?" she purred flitasiously and covered her mouth trying not to laugh at him. Her shorts would be interesting to get off, especially since she had perspired a bit.

Nickoli laughed and caught her foot pulling the socks off. "Very, gracious." His voice was laced with laughter. He slid his hands over the outline of her body. Just barely touching her till he got to her sides. Slipping his hands under her shirt he gently tugged at her shirt before lifting it up over her head. His eyes gazed down over her torso. "Mmhmm that is what I call a gorgeous woman." A bit of crackle had invaded his voice as he kept himself from shivering in excitment. Self control he reminded himself. Self control was key to this. Leaning down he kissed her shoulder, then her cheek. "Your turn." His whispers met her ear.

Livianna had made up her mind. She had gone back in the house and quickly packed two bags, the mental list she had made before being a guide. Once they were packed she pulled out a pen and paper. Lightly she drew a floral arangement around the border of the paper before writing out a letter explaining her motives and reason for leaving on such short notice. It was time to give Nickoli a family and not to complicate things anymore that she had. Livianna's hand moved smoothly as she transcribed her thoughts out neatly.

Dear Nickoli,
I know this is short notice, and I know you hate when I run away, but I'm sure you won't mind so much this time. I'm not running away in the normal since. I need to go, I have to, my presence is unsettling to everyone, and the newest member of your pack shouldn't be exposed to such tension. Its not forever, Nick, it really isn't. I just want you to be able to settle down with a family for a little while before I complicate things again. I have a way of destroying what you have so I want to make sure you get what you deserve. I need to train myself, I need to learn, understand, and study the people of similar creation as myself. You are doing it every day here, I must venture and find a way to do it elsewhere.
And don't worry! I'm a big girl now I don't need you trying to watch over me and Lizzie heaven knows she's a handful! I hope you find a happy medium by the time I come back. Till then I will write you periodically. Have fun Brother!

Livianna

Looking the letter over she shrugged, it wasn't bad. Grabbing her bags she quickly wrote out a second letter for Nathtanel, he needed to stay around for a little while longer till everything was adjusted. Once that happened she was sure he'd come and meet up with her. Biting her lip she slipped out of the house and to the cabin, unnoticed for now. That was were she left Nathaniel's letter. She rewrote it slower now and left a similar floral designs around the paper and more intricate designs around the border of the envelope which read: To Nathaniel: Until We Meet Again. With that she slipped out and through the oasis towards her first destination, Cairo.

((I'll write his letter out when we get there))

Lizzy laughed hearing his laughter in his voice as he pulled off her socks. Feeling the soft tug on her shirt, her bright blue eyes met his and then the shirt was pulled back over her head. This revealed her torso, and more importantly, her bra and chest. Reminding herself that Nickoli had seen plenty before, she supressed a blush. Shaking her head as he kissed her shoulder, a flash of pearly whites came from behind her pink lips. Reaching out with her pointer finger, she lightly held her nail to his collar bone, and dragged it down the middle of his torso slowly. "Oh let me see... Decisions, decisions." she said sarcastically. Smirking she slipped from the counters edge, and slowly dragged her nail above Nickoli's waist line of his pants. "I think these can come off, yes?" she purred and the British female unbuttoned and unzipped those pants, running her hands inside of them, just beneath the waistband. Her dragging nails made his boxers ride a small bit lower on those chiseled hips of his. Lizzie then grabbed his pants, and pulled them down to his feet. Slowly coming to stand, she drug her nails up the inside of his legs as she did, but lifted them when she felt the fabric of his boxers. "One down. One to go." she said huskily, a breathy sigh escaping those lucious lips as she looked up at Nickoli. His reaction is what she truely wanted.

Nathaniel was running in his wolf form, his brothers and father around him. Ibony, Dustan's girl friend had also joined. Being a werewolf as well, she enjoyed besting the guys at tricks and agility. She was once again doing tricks and the twins were trying to win the contest, but his father said Ibony was still far more superb. Laughing at the twins' grumbling, Nathaniel couldn't remember the last time it had been so peaceful and fun to run in this form. Looking at the falling sun, he followed his father as they began heading back home. He couldn't wait to see Liv. He had found a rare sand stone artifact in one of the ruins on their pack's land, and it was a small gliff that ment beautiful. He had it in pouch around his paw, wrapped in leaves to keep it from breaking. He was excited to share some of the history of the ruins around the palace that his father used to live in. Just thinking about her smile, her face, it made his chest squeeze in such a pleasant way.

Nickoli grinned and a fast uncontrolable shiver ran from his toes to his head as her nails ran up his inner thigh. A deep sigh left his body through his nose as he kept control of his shifting. This was fun and not in a sarcastic way. "You are a tease my lil fox." He said softly before looking her over, "Alright these are going to be difficult." His fingers tapped her shorts. "Any ideas on how to get them off my love? I can't seem to think of any except." He stepped out of his pants and grabbed some body was. "LOTS of lube." His joke made him grin and chuckle. He walked over kissing her hands and nipping her neck. "Tell me how to take your clothes off." Half singing this sentence to her. There was a sudden wave of calm that came over the house that made all the tension in his body fade. He couldn't place what it was that had suddenly been lifted but it didn't matter. Lizzie was here and that was all that mattered.


Livianna sighed her stomach turning. Why was leaving this oasis so damn hard? She stood on the edge staring at the desert blinking softly. She couldn't take that step, she couldn't walk that inch forward to get her past her mental borders. "Come on Livi you can't wait here forever." Sighing she went to take a step and stopped stepping back again. Sitting down she looked at the sun. It was starting to set over the horizon. "Just a little while longer till its dark, then I really do have to get a move on." Her voice was soft and a pout took over her features. It was easier to leave places before, when she didn't want to bring people with her. When Nickoli was angry and she had to get out of dodge. Now it was the simple gut wrenching pain of leaving Nathaniel that stopped her from moving. She sat on her bags staring out into the void of the desert. Soon you'll have to move Livianna, its not goodbye, its till we meet again. Right?

Lizzie smiled widely seeing the pleasurable shiver that ran down Nickoli. As he mentioned her lovely leather, the blonde laughed at his joke. A dirty thought flashed through hed mind and suddenly those warm lips bombarded her. Sighing softly, tilting her head back in peaceful bliss, suddenly all the tension left her body. "Roll them down... That's the dirty little secret." she breathed, leaning forward and kissing his collar bone softly. Her arms reached up, wrapping around his neck as she looked into his eyes. Such beautiful eyes. Such a beautiful body. That tattoo only added to his attractive body.

Nathaniel gave a nip to one of the twin's heels as they ran. Half way home, and the setting sun looked like it was setting the sand ablaze in fire. His legs carrying him faster towards home. The soft pouch on his leg lightly bouncing against the furr covered limb. His tongue was lulling out of his mouth, gaininga lead spot. Ibony barked laughing at him, saying he was running to see his new mate, making the rest if the guys laugh loudly. If he could have blushed, he would have, but even that wouldnt stop him. A few more hills, and they would be able to see the house.

Nickoli laughed. "Oh so that's how they do it!" His face broke out into a grin. "Guess we'll skip the body wash then." When she wrapped her arms around him Nickoli's grin died down to a smile. "Your beautiful." He whispered softly. Her eyes were unlocking his digging deep into his soul. He felt alive and calm all at once as he was trapped under her gaze. It was intense to say the least. Swallowing a little he slid his hands down to her waist and undid the button that held her shorts closed. "If we wait much longer everyones going to want this shower." His heart racing some as he looked down at her shorts. "Yeah love I don't deal with leather much I have no idea how to do this." A grin returning to his face as he looked at her. "I can't seem to get you out of them." His strong arms seemed to be flexed as he tried to get them to roll a little. It wasn't working. "They love you as much as I do apparently!"


Livianna wrote a short note in her journal and slid it back into its spot. She'd wait till the sun was gone. Then she'd push on. Till then she was going to take a brief nap on her bags. Curling up on the two duffel bags she closed her eyes. It was noticeably colder out in the fresh air with out Nathaniel there. The thought made her stomach wrench. Whimpering some she curled up more pulling her legs to her chest as well as her arms. She would have to do her best to not think about him. Perhaps he'd catch up before she stirred to continue on. Perhaps he'd argue and come along. Or convince her to stay in that little hut, or build one near by? Or perhaps that all disappeared when she sealed that envelope and walked away. Tears stung her eyes. One dripped straight onto the bag and the other slid out of her eye, down to her nose and over to the other cheek. Sniffling she tried to keep it together. It was imperative that this journey was made.

Smiling widely hearing the surprise of the secret to her shorts come out of Nickoli's mouth, she giggled softly. Those beautiful eyes captivated her, and she was taken off guard from his words. Beautiful... He was the first man to call her beautiful, and it still had a lasting impact upon Lizzie. Heat rising to her cheeks. She then watched as Nick struggled with her shorts, making her grin. Running her hands down his flexing arms she shivered and laughed. "Apparently they do!" she laughed, and then with a quick snap, she rolled the waist and put her hands on his and pushed them down. The shorts then suddenly rolled easily down to her knees and she kissed Nickoli's cheek. "Can you handle it from here?" she asked teaasingly.

Nathaniel grinned seeing the house. Throwing his head back, he made a long howl errupt threw the beautiful silence.bye could see it become more clear as he flew past the pack, and with a soft breeze he could smell Livianna. Running he shifted into an golden eagle, soaring low over the sand. An excited and andrelaline rushed screechy cry came from his beak. With enhanced vision, he could see Livianna laying on bags... In front of the house. His heart pounding in fear, he beat his wings harder. Shifting once again as he pulled from his dive, he landed few feet from Liv. "Liv!" he said worriedly, the pouch around his wrist, his eyes holding worry as he ran in his true form, and landed on his knees infront of her. "What's wrong?" he asked worriedly, his hand reaching out to touch that beautiful cheek.

Nickoli made a noise like he was mocking her and grinned up. "Yeah I think so. Unless they magically shrink, in which case I may just tare them apart." He joked lightly before pulling them the rest of the way off. "VICTORIOUS!" Nick snickered and put the shorts on his head. "What do you think? Can they double as a hat?" He was doing a good job of keeping the mood light. Not one emotion was going to rule over this perfect time. This game was meant to be fun and seductive if it wasn't fun enough well. He grinned and kissed Lizzie. "Okie strip me lova girl!" He said arms up as he started to dance around a little making it difficult. His waist moving side to side as his hands moved to mock Egyptian painting. "Walk like an Egyptian." He sang with a laugh. Yup he had gotten to the so happy he was giddy phase.


Livianna's eyes snapped open as she fell backwards. "YEEH! You weren't supposed to come here first!" Her finger pointing at him as she came up over the bags. "NO You were supposed to go to the shack. I was supposed to be heading to Cairo. IT was in the letter, the-the romantic tragedy scene. The-the epic journey to find what was lost! You-you cheated!" She said standing up and brushing off. Before blushing furiously. "OK that came out a little faster than I could filter." She whispered sitting down.

"Nothing is wrong physically. I was on my way out and just couldn't get any further than the end of the oasis so I laid down for a while till the sun set. I left you a letter in the hut. It explained everything. I was going to start looking for different trainers I guess to get myself together starting in Cairo. But-but I just couldn't leave. I kept buying time." Livianna's eyes avoided Nathaniel's. He was sure to be upset. "I just wanted to make things less tense you know? And I figured you need to help get things settled here and then you'd meet up with me...somewhere." Her eyes welled up with tears. "It was a dumb idea huh?"

Laughing hard at Nickoli's make shift hat, Lizzie shook her head negatively. "No way!" she laughed. He was such a goofball! Where did all this energy come from? After the baby was delivered, Liz was still a bit tired. Man did her sexy hunk bounce back fast. "Hey calm down mister!" she laughed as he did the walk like an Egyptian dance. Shaking her head she pounced, pinning him against the wall. With one hand she cupped his cheek and kissed him deeply, nipping that bottom lip and running her tongue over it teasingly. Her other hand moving swiftly to yank down the boxers with one tug, taking advantage of her surprise attack.

Nathaniel was shocked as Liv fell backwards, just missing catching her hand. A rush of words explaining everything she was doing cane from her lips. Stunned for a second as she sat back down, he blinked as his mind registered everything. Her tears moved him, leaning up, his lips brushed hers as his thumbs whiped away those crystalline tears. "Oh Liv." he whispered, a smile gracing his lips. "It wasn't stupid... But you're just crazy if you think I would let you do that." he breathed and rested his forehead against her's. "It would break my heart if you left me like that to just find a letter... Especially since I was planning on bringing you something so special today." he breathed and grinned. "You're just silly." he said and hugged her to him tightly. He understood Liv's actions, her thoughts, but if she thought he was going to let her go, she was dead wrong. "You are mind Liv... You are my mate... I can't live truely happy if you are not at my side."

Nickoli laughed some as he was pounced on and caught himself on the wall so he wasn't knocked off balance. Her lips were intoxicating and the way she did things was just unbelievably quick. "Cheater." His face was still in a full on grin. She had gotten past his dance and gotten the boxers anyway. Grinning he moved his hands and undid her bra. "HA!" he said as soon as his mouth was released. It took a quick motion to get the rest of her undergarments off and plopped her into the shower. The water was warm already and he slipped in with a grin. "Lets get wet! Muahaha" He said half jokingly.


Livianna's eyes watered and she started crying. She couldn't help it, her heart sank and she felt like crap. She was wondering if he was angry under all this. Covering her mouth she tried not to make things worse. Sniffling she closed her eyes and tried to hold back her whimpers. "I'm sorry!" Her voice was broken. "I din't think it all the way through...I just...I don't know." She shook her head trying not to cry. It wasn't working. Putting her head on his shoulder, she started to shake from the effort. Tears escaped her eyes and rolled down dripping off her chin. Her arms wrapped around him clutching him close to her. Honestly Liv didn't want to cry in front of him. She wanted to smile for him. How could he be, so kind to her right now. When she had tried to leave just moments before. "I love you Nathaniel. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She whispered though it was painfully muffled.

Liz grinned and chuckled hearing Nick call her a cheater. "Not! I'm just a good thinker!" she said and squeaked in surprise as her bra came off swiftly. It was followed by her matching panties, which were speedily pulled away as well... Gasping as her form was lifted she shivered meeting the shower wafer, and pressed against Nickoli as he got in too. "You're such an odd ball Shen you're like this." she comented softly and then giggled lightly. She then grabbed her shampoo that she had put in as well as her conditioner and body soap, and put them on the higher ledge so it was easy to reach. "Do you wanna get wet first?" she asked lightly, a joking tone in her voice as she looked at Nick.

Nickoli could hear Livianna sniffling and trying to hold back her tears. When she clutched onto him, a soft smile was on his lips and his hand reached up, stroking her beautiful hair. "Oh Liv... I'm not mad at you..." he breathed and kissed the side of her head, just holding her close like he had after they had made love. He hadn't wanted her to leave him then, and so he had held her through the night, just keeping her close. This time was no different. "I was scared... Your scent was fainter on the wind then usual, and I thought that you would leave me..." he whispered a tear running down his cheek. "You can't... I won't let you... I can't let you leave without me..." he whispered and lifted her head gently, and began whiping away her tears. "My beautiful Livianna. I love you so much." he breathed, looking into those beautiful eyes. "I know you must train, and I understand that you must learn how to use the new gifts you have been given... But I refuse to let you leave without me... I will come with you... And maybe we can build a home close by one day... Maybe we could live just far enough away from the pack to keep them safe, and yet be close to our family." he offered softly, his care and love coating every word. Each word was hand picked for her beautiful Liv, he just hoped she would stop crying. It broke his heart to see her crying like this.

Nickoli chuckled. "Sorry love, I don't mean to be so weird." He said softly shaking his head. "You can go first I'll just be standing here watching you wash your hair like a stalker." A grin graced his face before kissing her head softly. "But seriously you go a head and wash up first my love. " Nick was in no rush the slower he took the more shower time they both got. Or at least that was his personal thought on it. The water wasn't too cold or too hot so it was comfortable enough. Though the shower was decent sized he found menuvering around was going to be a little hard. He'd have to keep himself pretty close to Lizzie. That was alright with him.


Livianna sniffled and tried to look down but Nathaniel kept her chin up. She couldn't talk right now, not a single word seemed to form in her mouth. She sat there silent just listening to Nathaniel and nodding softly to what he said. Her tears were slowly drying up. Sniffling still tried to get her broken breath under control. Suddenly her curiosity possessed her. "What did you want to show me?" She asked softly though now it was quiet dark where they were. It was kinda weird thing to say but it was the only thing that came out. Maybe he could show her and then get his stuff or maybe they'd stay in the hut again and leave in the morning. It was honestly up to him. Though her tears had helped drain her remaining energy.

Lizzie smiled at Nickoli and shook her head, stepping backwards into the stream of water. The water ran down her head and body, the stream getting her blonde hair wet enough to start washing it. The berry shampoo was lathered in her hair, her eyes closed as she mechanically worked on her hair. Rinsing it out she opened her eyes and smiled at Nick. "Snjoying the show lover boy?" she asked teasingly.

Nathaniel chuckled hearing Livianna's curiosity, and pulled the pouch off of his wrist. "There is a palace temple on the lands that the pack owns... The very one that my father used to live in, and where he met my mother." he said softly. He then pulled out the gliff and showed it to her. It had golden paint on it, so it shown in the faint light. "It means beauty." he said softly and looked into her eyes. Looking into her eyes he then smiled, showing her the gliff closer. "This small hole is perfect to put it on a chain... I thought you would like the necklace."

Nickoli smirked watching her wash her hair. His eyes stayed mostly on her face, course he took a couple quick glances down once in a good while. When she asked him a question he smiled some. "But of course." He wasn't going to lie. It was a new calm just sitting here watching the water run over her like a small stream. It was like she was some nautical goddess rising out of the depths or standing just under a slow water fall. Tamed and yet exotic.

((Brain fart on Nickoli I'm sorry.))

Livianna's eyes flickered as she stared at it. Smiling she looked up at Nathaniel and nodded. "Its really cool." She said softly carefully tracing the lines with her fingers. "It would be a wonderful necklace." Her voice was soft but she looked down and away. Trying to stifle a yawn with out much notice. "Nathaniel you should probably head back to the house. Its getting late and people will be wondering where you are." It was true they seemed to keep track of everyone and her leaving was obvious but Nathaniel would have to say proper good byes.

((let's just let Nick and Lizzie have their shower moment then, cause I have a brain fart on her too.))

Nathaniel smiled widely, seeing as Livianna took a great liking to the idea of making the gliff a necklace. "We won't leave now... You and I are both tired, and a bit shaken up... I think it best to stay one more night in the hut... Then we can have good rest and a good meal before we leave." he said lightly and then put the gliff in her hands. "Here, let me take your bags and walk you back there... Then I will dash and get some things to make sure we are warm for the night." Nathaniel said lovingly and helped his lover up to her feet. "I love you very much Liv." he breathed lovingly, those sparkling eyes amazing to him. Breaking the trance, he then easily lifted the two bags and began walking around the house and to the beautiful paradise in the back.

Livianna looked at Nathaniel and sighed. "Ok, I suppose your right." Her voice was almost a whisper as she clasped her hands around the glyph. Walking silently behind Nat she looked up at the house and shook her head. Why did everything have such a bitter sweet taste to it these days? This beautiful house, with its laughter, and good mood; this beautiful family they were the sweet. The fact that she couldn't stay, that her presence was a danger to them, that was the bitter. Nickoli being happy, that was a sweet, the fact that she'd travel with out him from now on, that was the bitter. Everything was like this. Even Nathaniel was a bitter sweet part of her life. IT was wonderful to have him around, and when he held her in his arms. Loving her like he did. But it was painful to think that she was a danger even to him. A natural born enemy of his kind, some thing that was supposed to kill this beautiful family. Something that was supposed to be killed by them. Was it really possible for a predator to live with its prey? Was it really possible for her to ignore the instinct to track others down? Livianna couldn't help but wonder if she really had control of herself, and if she ever would have full control of herself. Or if the very idea of self control was really just a face, a magic trick, a poker face. Something that she would never truly possess no matter how hard she worked. She wondered if her killer instinct would take over, like it did with many other trackers. The last thing she wanted was to become something like Isis. Something so disgusting and horrific as that.

Closing her eyes some as they reached the hut Livianna shivered. No, Her thoughts being washed away by her inner self. A higher level of conciousness that helped her stay level headed. I will not become her. I have more willpower and more want to be one with myself, not to control the power of my inner demon. I will not submit and let it become my puppet master. Taking in a deep breath she tried to force the thoughts out of her head as she looked down at the glyph again. She was only happy that Nathaniel didn't know what she was thinking. It gave her peace to know her thoughts were her own for now.

Entering the hut Nathaniel left the bags in the corner of the hut. Reaching forwards, he gently took her hand. He could tell her thoughts were anything but happy, it was as if he could sense it. "Livianna... Do you want anything to eat?" she asked softly cupping her cheek lovingly. "I know things are weighing heavily on your heart... I only wish I could free you of those weights." he breathed and kissed her softly on those beautiful pink lips. Pulling away slowly after awail his eyes opened up to bore into her's. She was so very beautiful, so very talented... She was perfect to him in every way.

Livianna shook her head. She didn't remember eating anything at all today but she wasn't exactly hungry either. "No I'm fine." Smiling a little she accepted his kiss before answering him. "No, Nathaniel this weight it isn't yours to shoulder. Your sweet to offer but it really isn't an option." Reaching up she ran her fingers gently along the side of his face. "I'm going to lay down my love. I'm quiet sleepy." Her voice was a little distant as were her eyes. Slipping away from him she walked over and laid down on a group of pillows that showed no signs of scratch marks. Her eyes gazed around, she'd done quiet a number on these cushions. Blushing ever so slightly as her mind recalled the happenings of her and Nat's time together.

Nathaniel closed his eyes as Liv whispered to him, and slid her hand down the side of his face. Opening his eyes, he watched as she laid down on the pillows and smiled. His mind remembering seeing her clothes-less for the first time. This hut held a lot of memories for them, and they were good ones. "I will be back swiftly." he said lovingly and closed the door before dashing for the house. Upon entering, the pack looked up from the dinner table. "There's lover boy!" the twins said together and with a simple distracted smile, Nathaniel ignored his father's words to join them at the table, and moved to go to his room. Grabbing his belongings from the corner, where they had sat in his bag the whole time. The massive sack was slung over his shoulders easily and he went back down the stairs. "Nathaniel where are you going?" his father demanded, not stoping the shapeshifter as he headed for the back door. What did stop him was his mother. She stood at the door, her eyes full of tears, and a smile on her face. "My little boy has grown up... He has found the true one for him." she breathed softly and smiled wider. "I'm so happy for you." she breathed and hugged him. "But must you leave so soon?" she breathed looking up at him. "I am just following her." he breathed and smiled widely. "I will say good byes in the morning. Good night mother." he breathed and kissed her cheek. Slipping away he walked into the tree filled darkness and out of the house's sight. Arriving back at the hut he opened the door, and walked inside. "Are you asleep Liv?"

Lizzie sighed softly having gotten into Nick's button up shirt after pulling on some underwear. Smiling softly she giggled and watched as he walked out of the bathroom. She was sitting on the bed, leaning back against her hands that were extended behind her, and her legs bent infront of her. "All dry and clean now?" she asked lightly, hoping that he would be shocked by her appearance. She loved teasing him like this.

Livianna's eyes looked up and blinked rubbing her head. "No, I'm not." She whispered closing her eyes again. "I'm tired though." Her voice lingering for a moment before she sighed. Cuddling into the cushions Livianna yawned. "Are you going to lay down with me? Its kind of cold tonight my love." It wasn't particularly strange for her to say but there was something in her voice that made the whole statement eerie. Perhaps it was simply the dark room and her muffled voice. But perhaps it was something else seeping through.


Nickoli walked out of the bathroom dried off for the most part with a pair of pajama bottoms and no shirt on. He was drying his face when Lizzie asked her question. Looking up he stopped and gawked. "Yeah....but I feel really dirty right now." His brain failing to filter out the last part of his sentence. Nick tried not to stare but honestly she was testing his will power bad. Walking over he grinned some. "Woof!" His voice was laced with hints of aw, seduction, charm, with undertones of goofiness. It was his special mix of personality. "I gotta say you have my favorite shirt on." It really wasn't but it was when she was wearing it.
