Awake the Plague. (Continued)

I saw a dim candle flicker from the window to my room as I approached home. I crept silently in, and up to my room. But forgetting that I had allowed that boy access into my bed. My room. If I find that he has touched anything in my room to find out who these strangers who's house he now sleeps within really are.

Regardless of Shea's presence I flopped into bed beside him.
                 "You're home," Shea said with eyes shut.
                 "You didn't follow me." I said while rolling over.
Shea sleepily sat up and looked at me, I felt his eyes on my back and I rolled over to return to facing him.
                 "We met one another within the passing day. I have no idea who you are and from what I gather you don't let anyone know you. I'm sorry I didn't follow you, I really am. As much as it seems that you think you can take care of yourself from what I gather you have no control on piecing together when you fall into a bad  situation. I saved you once today and from what I can smell off of you what you ingested tonight you must have found someone else to save you." Shea said in a stern whispered tone.
                 "I don't care if you want me out of your house and out of your bed, but tonight I am here I am in your house and I am in your bed. Hell I'm going to hold you because personally I feel you lack human interaction and know what so do I!" Shea said while laying down and grasping me and bringing me close into his chest.
                 "Excuse me Shea! I'd appreciate if I could undress myself from this pile of gowns. I know I smell of the night and I just want to slump into a little undressed creature and sleep. I don't care if you're in my house or if you're even in my bed. I just want my normality." I stated with a bittered tone.

As I undressed I noticed Shea's eyes tracing me around the room. He didn't look at me in a manner where he assumed he was in power to make an action towards what his mind might have been racing on about. For some reason this boy has decided to take a position where though we just met he seemed to love me and care for me.
I laid back down in bed and he returned his arms to engulf me. I felt my body weaken within his grip and I began to do this strange thing, a relaxed sensation swept me clean off my feet. I wasn't in need to get up nor read. I just needed to lay there and be with Shea.

The sun rose and coated the grey clouds with a golden hue. My eyes took their time to open and for once I didn't wake at dawn. I rolled over to realize Shea was no longer there. Perhaps he was just another elaborate dream that blinded me into fantasizing about a male bringing interest into my day. I headed to the stairs and realized it was not my room that was empty. I walked through the front door only to be blinded by more breaks in the sky revealing a glimpse of the village as a whole rather than pieces you'd need to approach to see.
               "Fallow, glad to see you're awake." A voice sang out from the garden.
Out hopped the Hare in his Hare form.
               "Nice knickers girl, shall we return to my shack? I have some texts I'd like you to have, before fate makes a fool of me." The Hare asked.
               "Of course I would, but could I possibly bring a new friend?" I tilted my head and asked with a sensual nature.
               "Aha, what a girl. Your quite a horrible at that, what a pleasant jester you are when it comes to playing sexual." The Hare laughed as if I weren't sincerely trying.


I walked around the area of my house looking for any sign of Roison, Fraser or Shea. But I couldn't find any of them. Worried I sped up my pace and headed towards Roison's house. I bolted through the front door and stumbled over top of some strange tubes that now lined the floor. 
               "FALLOW?!" Their voices shrieked
Lifting my head quickly and pushing up from the floor I regained stance and saw the three of them staring at me as though I was the one who was so out of place. 
               "No one was home, nor were you anywhere to be found. So I came to find you and .... here you are." I said pretending I was never in any sort of panic.
               "Fallow! You're bleeding" Fraser and Roison said in sync.
               "Fallow.... You're naked." Shea cooed with a velvet tongue.
               "Fraser; Roison, fret not I'll clean up Fallow. I am trained to do such anyhow." Shea said with a velvet lick of the air. 
The two of us walked back to my house where I sat facing Shea as he whipped together some tonic and pulled out bandages to keep me from falling apart.
                "You're a strange girl you do realize? You're graced with a beautiful one of a kind day and you panic. No one here is going to hurt you. We just want to help." Shea calmly stated.
                "I found you and you seem to have made it your responsibility to take care of me. I did not ask you to. You just did. I never asked you to treat me like such. You just did. I'm a stranger to you. I don't want you to go and grow feelings for me only for me to runaway, or wind up dead." I sighed.
                "Just because I held you, because I flirted and generally want to care for you because from what I can tell the remaining few who do could pass at anytime. I don't want you to be alone in this world. I don't want to be alone either. Excuse me if I was too forward. All that I wanted is to be your friend. Perhaps you should try to make some of those." Shea's tone was honest and he really was alone.
