I shivered and 
walked into his closet pulling down the first shirt I saw, which happened 
to be a dark red button up. I put it on and buttoned it most of the way 
then sighed as I looked around for something to wear. 

I turned to find Damien again in the doorway staring at me, this time 
his eyes the color of steel and his face dark. I faced him and felt my 
heart begin to beat faster. He took a step towards me and I stepped 
back, and suddenly as he walked towards me I felt like prey being 
stalked. 

I kept backing up until I hit the end of his closet; he came close to me 
and gently grabbed my chin, "What did you hear?" 

 I looked at him, trying to feint confusion, "I don't know what you're 
talking about." 

"Then why are you scared of me." 

I scoffed, "If you saw your own face you would back up too.

 

You look 
like you’re going to kill me." 

My voice shook and he took a step back, his face a mixture of surprise 
and what looked like sadness. I stepped towards him and grabbed his 
hand, "What's the matter Damien? What did Desmond say that upset 
you so much?" 

His eyes hardened and he stepped back and turned and walked out 
leaving me alone in his closet. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my 
heart down taking a few deep breaths before walking out into the 
bedroom. Damien was sitting on the bed, his head in his hands, looking 
down at the floor. 

I knelt down in front of him and grabbed his hands, forcing him to lift 
his head and look at me, "Please Damien, you can trust me." 

He ran a finger across his mark on me and whispered, "I know I can." 

I looked at him beseechingly with my eyes, "Then tell me." 

I looked at him, his eyes flashing silver before he leaned down and 
kissed my neck. He stood up leaving me sitting back on my legs, "Stay 
here, Ill have your clothes brought here.

 

I don't like the idea of you 
being alone without your Aunt." 

I smiled up at him, forgetting to be afraid for a moment, "You're letting 
me move in?"
 
He chuckled and helped me to my feet, "I suppose that's what it looks 
like." 

I laughed and threw my arms around him, kissing him deeply, plying at 
his stiff response until he finally kissed me back appropriately. We 
stood there locked in our intimate embrace for a few minutes longer 
until he finally broke it. 

"I have to go soothe Desmond." 

I frowned at him stopping just because of her and then made a deep 
sigh myself, "I guess I should go entertain my suitors." 

A frown played on his lips and I touched them, "You allowed them here, 
so that we wouldn't have war. It’s my duty to make sure they are happy 
enough to keep the war from happening." 

He pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head once before 
grabbing my hand, "Don't go into the forest with them. I would prefer if 
you entertained them in the front, in full view of all the windows.

 

Deal?" 

I smiled and nodded, "Deal."
