Love Is Often Unexpected [Xx.MoonlightRomance.xX & Jugger82]

"Well, you never have said that we are together." She said and shrugged. "It does make since that you move so often, it makes it damn near impossible to get caught since nobody finds out what happened until you are long gone." Liz added, having no idea still about his ideas of her killing alongside him. "How do you know where you can stay when you move, though?"
 
"I don't. I just kill the residents and move in." He said shrugging as he walked on. "Speaking of killing, I expect you to join in on this matter...if you want to live anyway."
 
"I'm not going to go around killing innocent people just because that is what you're used to, Nathan." Liz said as she looked at him, clearly it would take a little playing on her emotions for him to get her to join in on the killing and he could always use his special power to convince her to do what he wanted. "If your back in starting to hurt I can walk now." She said, thinking she might be getting heavy for him.
 
Stopping, he glared at her. "I can kill you right now...choose your next words wisely. You WILL help me in my murders when I ask you to do it...! Got it!?" He said as he ordered her angrily. He didn't want to have to use his power on her, no...he found her to be a waste to use it on, there was no point...besides...he could always break her will by himself.
 
When he stopped and glared at her she let her arms move from where they had been around his neck, falling off of his back and onto her feet as she did. "If you were going to kill me, you would have done it last night when you had me stripped of my weapons." She hissed as she returned his glare. Liz didn't seem to have a problem standing up to him now. "Why don't you just tell me what's keeping you from killing me because it surely isn't your word to my father that you wouldn't harm his little girl." She said, thinking about turning around and trying to run; but she was weaponless and he was clearly not only stronger when it came to strength but faster when it came to speed.
 
"I have my reasons to keep you alive." He said to her with a stern voice. "You just worry about your punishment when we find a place to stay. Jeez...you're so bipolar." He said before walking on, still angry at her...though he felt empty without her holding onto him like she did earlier...this being part of the reason he was angry.
 
"No, I'm not bipolar, you try watching a loved one die, then see if that anger and hatred for the person who caused that pain doesn't consume you, making you want to make sure the person who wronged you suffers." Liz said as she stayed where she was while he walked on and as she waited she pulled out the silver cross of her father's that had been left around her neck last night and looked at it for a moment before tucking it back into her shirt. Of course, she had no clue that part of that anger was that he felt empty without her holding onto him.
 
"Yeah. You really are doing a good job with that. Falling in love with me is REALLY going to make me suffer." He said to her as he watched her pull out the cross. He had almost dropped her at the sight of it but kept on walking, though he was more weary of her. How could he have...forgotten to take it from her when she was KOed earlier? Cursing at himself, he pressed on.
 
"What the hell are you talking about?" She asked, having not remembered saying this because she had been asleep when it came out. When she was on his back again she wrapped her arms around his neck once more, as if it had become some kind of reflex for her. "I'm not going to hurt you with it." Liz said when she noticed he became more weary of her at the sight of the silver cross. "Getting away from you isn't worth losing the only thing I have left of my Father's."
 
Nathan grunted and looked away. "Whatever..." 'Seems like she's forgotten this morning...ha...what a loon.' He said in his mind as he continued to walk on. The day was getting dark and Nathan set her down in a clearing. "We rest here tonight, got it? You can use my tail as a pillow if you want." He said as he showed her his furry tail. "I can't transform into a wolf, so you'll be lacking anything to warm you up tonight unless you want to be between my arms...but you'd have to lose the cross until the morning."
 
She looked up at him and hesitantly nodded. "I'm not going to try to run away when we are pretty much in the middle of nowhere and there is next to nowhere for me to run to that you wouldn't find me." Liz said. "I'm guessing the wolf part of you is arctic wolf." She guessed when he showed her a white wolf tail and she saw a pair of white ears coming from his hair. "Thanks for the offer, Nathan, but I'm not taking it off when I have nowhere safe to put it." She said. As they settled down in the clearing she looked around, realizing for the first time just how hungry and thirsty she had become since she had left her home earlier that evening.
 
Sitting down, he looked at her and frowned as he could hear her stomach growl. "Wait here. If you leave, I'll find you and cripple you. Don't think I won't." He said before leaving her alone in the woods. He began to make way for a stream, and when he finally found one, he filled up a canteen with water and hopped into the stream to catch some fish. After an hour, he came back with a canteen full of fresh water and three fish. "Hope you like fish cause the berries around here are poisonous." Moving over to break some branches off, he used them to make a fire using a lighter he had. Using some sticks as spits, he began to cook the fish.
 
She nodded, staying in the clearing for an hour as he went to go get food and water for the two of them. Although, by the time he returned to her with the water and fish she was laying on the ground, fast asleep. Of course, she hadn't been asleep long so when he spoke, saying that he hoped she liked fish while moving over and beginning the fire to cook them, that was enough to wake her up. "Fish sounds good to me." Liz said, sounding and looking as if she were still half asleep as she sat up.
 
"Half asleep huh? Wonder what you'll say this time." He muttered to himself. "When they're done cooking, you can have them all. I don't need to eat, I'm not hungry." He said as he sat there, arms and legs crossed as he watched the human girl before him. "They should be ready now, eat to your hearts content...or until all three are gone."
 
She heard him mumbling, but didn't catch exactly what it was that he had said. Liz moved over from where she was so that she was sitting beside Nathan. "You need to eat something too, though and I'm not going to eat all three of them anyway." She said as she looked over at him, simply nodding when he told her that they should be done she picked up one and began to carefully eat it.
 
Watching her eat, he began to expect anything to come from her mouth. Though...he said nothing. He leaned back and just watched her eat. "Tell me something...how did you know what I looked like exactly? The man who killed your father? You say you were but very little, two years old if I remember you saying that correctly."
 
When he spoke she took a break from eating the fish that she was holding in her hands. "I didn't know what you looked like, Nathan. Hell, I was too young back then to remember what you looked like. But, I remember the feeling I had that night as I watched the two of you fight; my father struggling to protect his little girl... Then, when I heard the howling and screaming coming from the middle of town last night.. It gave me that same exact feeling. So, I figured that you must have been the one that did it." Liz said, honestly.
 
Nathan sighed and shook his head. "Thats an awful large conclusion you drew to. You better be glad I let you live, most other werewolves would have killed you on the spot...or maybe had their way with you before killing you." He said shrugging as he lay back. "So...Huh...kinda ran outta things to say here."
 
"I know it is, but like I said earlier, Nathan, you try watching a loved one die.. Then try to keep that rage from consuming you, making you need closure and for a long time I felt the only way I could have that closure was to see the monster that killed him dead." Liz said, watching as he laid back. Once she was done with one fish she took the other two and offered the bigger of the two to him. "You need to eat too." Liz said and smiled at him weakly.
 
Nathan did not take the fish from her. He merely pushed it back to her before reaching into his pocket to pull out a silver stake. It burned his bare flesh, but he brought it over and placed it in her hand. "Do it...if you truly think you would be happy with revenge..." He said as he looked at her with taunting eyes. "Then do it...though don't be expected to feel like you've lost more than what you just had."
 
She looked up at him as he brought it over to her after retrieving it from his pack and her fingers wrapped around it as it was placed in her hand. "If I really wanted to kill you, I would have done it in that ally. I wouldn't have given you a chance to try and talk or charm your way out of it, Nathan. Just like if you really wanted me to die you would have left me in that ally or you would have killed me on the spot." She said before tossing the silver stake, making it almost land in the fire. Liz then looked up at him. "Now, eat one of these damn fish before I have to jam it down your throat." She said in a playful tone before offering him a weak smile.
 
Not returning the smile, he turned to the fire and watched as the stake began to melt. He remained quiet and did not speak as he refused the fish some more. "Meh...I've grown too soft..." He mumbled to himself again as he laid back. "Get some rest, I won't be carrying you tomorrow so you better not cry about your feet again." He said before closing his eyes to sleep.
 
She sat the fish back where it had been setting while he cooked them and watched him as he laid back. "What if I don't want to go with you?" She asked, knowing that without her silver stake he could easily both over power and out run her and even if she tried to use her cross on him it wouldn't do much damage because of how small it is. "By the way, you haven't grown too soft. Actually feeling emotions means at least part of you is human."
 
"Emotions of pity." He said to her. "I won't let you escape. I don't trust you, you could probably just come back with more weapons...you've already overpowered me once, I won't allow you to do it anymore...you hear me?" He said frowning at her as he continued to lay back. "Don't even try to run off during the night, I can hear your footsteps...hell I could hear your heart beat right now if I wanted to focus hard enough."
 
"I'm not going to come back with more weapons as I have nowhere to get them from." She said and looked over at him. "And no matter if you wish to admit it or not you care about me on some level or else you would have left me in that damn ally to die." Liz added before moving away from him and as close to the fire as she could while still remaining safe. She laid down with her back to him and looked at the fire, using her arms laid on top of each other as her pillow.
