Elie smiled at him as she stripped down and than sat down on one of the stools as she waited for the bath to fill with warm waters that the fire would help keep warm.
Nathan moved over to Elie and wrapped his arms around her as he watched the tub fill. Once it did, he stripped down to nothing and sat down into the tub. "Water's warm."
Elie got up, smiled at him and climbed into with him. She snuggled up to him and closed her eyes. "Mmm. It is warm. So good." She let her eyes flutter open to look at him through the steam from the water. The fire kept the water at it's warm tempature. Outside the storm began, snow fell heavily and fast. The tempature slipped deeper down towards the negative digits. It would only get worse as the storm grew.
He smiled and nodded. "It is relaxing, isn't it babe?" He said smiling as he lay his head on her shoulder, relaxing peaceful in the warm water. "I'm sorry I used you like that...please, truly forgive me."
Elie looked up at him, "It is okay. I forgive you. I love you." she whispered as she pressed her lips to his. She held it for a moment before pulling back and relaxing.
Elie sighed and shook her head, "No. We can't, but where else can we go? I me-" She went silent as she heard a noise down stairs. She looked to Nathan with worry and fear in her eyes.
Elie got out of the tub, slowly and quietly. She wrapped a towel around her naked body and slowly moved into their room. She watched as he left downstairs.
Downstairs, her uncle had found the place through going through her fathers things. They were quietly searching the place.
The yell was heard and footsteps running were heard downstairs. Elie nodded and ran to the closet. She pulled out a long sleeve dress with tights under it. She pulled on boots and ran back to Nahtan with a bag of things. "I packed this before. It has clothes and non perishable food."
Nodding, Nathan grabbed Elie and jumped out the window, jumping from tree to tree before anyone could break into the manor. "Great...just great, now where do we go? That bastard Jason didn't even bother to stick around and tell us a place we could fall back to."
It was snowing heavily outside and she was cling to him. She buried her face in his neck as she shivered a bit. "I do not know. I am sorry, Nathan." She whispered in his ear. "We should find a place that is warm. I have some money in the bag. We could try a motel or something."
"Do not be sorry, it has all been my fault for...forcing myself onto you the first night I had came. I tried to sink my teeth into your skin to eat but...well things led to another."
Elie looked up at him and nodded, "No. It's okay. I understand. It is in the past. Let's just get somewhere warm." She closed her eyes and snuggled into him.
Nathan nodded as he approached a town. He broke into the place and laid Elie down on the bed before looking around for anyone. Upon finding people living here, he frightened them off before returning to Elie. "Are you okay?"
Mumbling, Nathan turned around and left to go gather the residents. When he got them all, he forced them inside the house and explained how things were to be. No one would be upstairs, only he and his partner until they can find somewhere else to stay. Later, he returned to Elie. "Done. You happy now?"
She moved past him and down to the couple. She apologized for Nathan, and gave them some money for their troubles. She smiled and thanked them again and left back upstairs. She smacked him, "Why do you have to be so rude?"
