Her warm body was wrapped around my own, her arms gripping on my chest tightly, her front attached to my back as I felt her heart beat in rhythm with my own.

I could feel her curls brush lightly against the back of my neck, as she held me close to her.

She just had to be the big spoon.

My nose twitched slightly as she lifted her head from the back of my neck, into the side of my shoulder. Her warm leg tightened from its position where it was thrown over my back.

I could hear the small gurgling noise she made, as she took deep breaths. She was going to wake up soon.

I didn't want to open my eyes though, I just wanted to stay wrapped up in her, having her hold me to her body, her odd scent of raspberries, honey, and sugar engulfed me as we laid there.

I didn't have to open my eyes to know what I would see, her soft brown skin entangled with the covers as one leg poked out because she got hot in the night. Or her slim arm tucked perfectly under mine, her hand splayed across my chest. Her mouth would just be slightly parted, her perfectly pink lips moving lightly as she muttered in her sleep.

I didn't have to roll over in her arms to look down at her, until she twitched and peaked one eye open to look at me. Sleep would be clouding her vision, but she was still tilt her open mouth up at me in a small smile. Her crazy hair would be splayed around her like a halo, curled and matted, but beautiful. Hey deep brown eyes would disappear behind her eye lids for a second before she pried both of them open slightly to properly look at me.

I didn't have to turn over to know thats what would happen.

To know that, that moment in time was my heaven.

A place where my heart stopped beating for a second as I stared at her, then speed up hurriedly.

To know she was my home, my safe place, my everything.

I didn't need to turn around at all. "Blue" she tiredly whispered in my ear, but I didn't want to get up, I held her warm arms closer to my chest. I slid my hand down her thigh that was hiked across my waist, I could feel her shiver against my back.

I pulled her leg closer, bring her body closer.

Katrina.

"Blake you have to get up" she whispered again.

I was so content though, she could wait for her stupid donut that I knew she would force me to go get.

"Blue" her lips tickled against my earlobe, as she whispered my name slowly, "come back to me" she whispered again.

My brow furrowed as I kept my eyes closed.

The hell? Was she dense? She was right next to me.

What did she mean?

I went to grab her leg again but it was gone, and so were her arms that had just been wrapped around me.

No. No. Where is she? Where did she go?

"Blake, get up" her voice whispered one more time.

I shot up, my eyes shooting around me wildly as I searched for her.

Katrina.

My heart was beating hard in my chest as I looked for her, my eyes instead connected with fucking Katya standing over me silently.

I blinked up at her as she continued staring down at me unblinkingly.

"The fuck are you doing?" I asked her.

Her eyes narrowed, her lips moving as she muttered to herself, "we are almost to the village" she stated.

I slow moved from the bush I had slept next to last night.

48 hours we had been traveling together. Two days. This was the last one, thankfully.

Ever since she made that weird statement where she pretty much shit on my relationship with her granddaughter she'd be watching we, staring at me, and muttering like a freak.

I was going to snap.

I stood slowly, shuffling two steps away from her.

Pretty sure she's a witch.

"Thank's Nana obvious, I almost forgot that I was about to get my wish come true and finally get the hell away from you" I hissed back at her.

"Do you like women who respond positively or negatively to your asshole comments?" she question.

I bared my teeth at her, she'd been asking me weird ass questions like that since the first day. Did I like women who were opinionated or soft-spoken. Did I like a woman who could cook. Did I think women with attitudes were attractive.

So of course I lied and said the very opposite of Katrina's personality, just to fuck with the old hag.

I brushed some dirty off of my shirt, "I prefer women who shut the fuck when I tell them to shut the fuck up" my eyes widened in mock as I looked at her, "are you one of those women?" I gasped in surprise.

She glared, "no".

My smile dropped, "why do you keep harassing me with these weird ass questions lady? No offense, but you're not my type" I sneered.

"I find nothing of you attractive, boy" she snapped.

Kind of offended.

"You probably aren't even swinging" she sniffed before gathering her things.

My jaw dropped my horrid offense.

Why me?

And why is she just like Katrina?

My lips twitched slightly, she was exactly like my Katty, maybe worse.

"Hurry and grab the bags, electro-dick" she snapped as she waddled off.

Okay, so worse.

Getting owned by a woman who looks 60 isn't good for my mindset.

I quickly snatch the rest of the bags up and start striding behind her.

"Since you've asked me so many questions, it's my turn, why haven't you gone off and killed Cirron?" I asked her, she tensed slightly but didn't make a move to speak. "Katrina told me all about your past so I know what he did to you, I'm just curious, why haven't you tried to kill him. I know he's already on my list and Katrina probably has already dreamed about stabbing him, but you-you haven't done anything yet" I peered down at her.

She sniffed and twitched her nose, a lot like Katrina does when she gets nervous.

"I didn't want to" she shrugged.

I squinted down at her in confusion, "what?"

"I didn't want to kill him" she muttered as she continued on.

I peered down at her, "why wouldn't you want to-" it clicked, "you still love him?" I choked. She turned and glared up at me, "oh shit, you really do, don't you" I stated shocked.

After all the shit he had put her through, she couldn't find it in him to murder him?

She sighed, "you don't understand, he was my first creation, the greatest and worst thing I have ever made" she sighed as she continued on, "he's my child, I love him even though he's become this terrible thing".

I glared down at her, "I get that it, and maybe you don't want to kill him, but have you ever though of leashing the psycho asshole?" I rolled my eyes as I stomped on.

She stopped walking, forcing me to slow down.

I turned to look back at her annoyed, "if Katrina went crazy and was too far gone from you, doing horrible terrible things that even you couldn't agree with, what would you do" she snapped at me.

I squinted at her, "bring her back to me".

"If you couldn't do that?" she questioned.

I rolled my eyes, "make her sit her ass down".

"And if you couldn't leash her, like you say?" she asked again.

I looked back at her unblinking, "then we go down. Together" I shrugged.

It was something hard to think of, but I knew that if the roles were reversed, Katrina was willing to go diving face first into the flames with me.

Especially if I told her ass no.

Katya started to walk again, finally, "you live a very dangerous life, aren't you nervous that Katrina could get hurt with you?" she asked.

I chuckled thinking back on a conversation we had at some crazy hour after a great night of not sleeping. My lips tilted as I could see her moving her slightly sweaty face to look sideways at me and she out of no where asked me how I wanted to die.

I couldn't stop the smile that was currently on my face, "you know she did ask me how I wanted to die" I laughed as I looked down at Katya who made a face.

"She's so weird" she sighed.

I chuckled then, I had said the same thing to her as we laid next to one another in bliss. "I told her as much, and after a lengthy discussion we decided we were going out one of two ways" I snickered. "The most likely is that we go in a blaze of glory, dying in a fiery blaze when someone sets a bomb off in a building or some shit like that" I rolled my eyes not really remembering the full and detailed description Katrina had conjured up.

"Or our favorite" I smiled fondly, not able to control it, "we die in our mid 90's, we spend the day with our five grandchildren, and our four kids, throwing stones at the neighbors and their kids, then after our great day we go lay down in bed together, and we fall asleep looking each other in the eye after going over every funny and crazy thing we did in our long ass life before we fall asleep in each others arms and just .. don't wake up. We go together" I shrug as I remember Katrina face light up as she spun the story to me, how I couldn't help but smile and shake my head at her.

But she made me promise, and that was one I had willingly gone with.

"What if you fall out of this love with her?" she asks me an annoyance etching into her voice.

I smirked, "its impossible to fall out of love with Katrina Justice, even if you don't get her you still love her. But I'm a sexy, rich, and interesting beast of a man, she won't fall out of love with me, and I don't know how you could fall out of love with her".

"What if she replaced you while you were gone?" Katya continued to push.

"I'd kill them, besides I know she didn't replace me. You should have seen her little 'I am woman, here me roar' speech when she saw me again for the first time. She's a psycho, by the way, crazy in bed though so I guess thats a plus" I smirked as I watched Katya narrow her eyes up at me.

"Watch it" she hissed.

Oh a nerve.

"I took her V-card you know" I sigh as I watch the old lady fume, "more like straight crushed it, but we don't have to go into details" I continued watching the little old lady glare at me. "But she refuses to say she loves me, I mean we had a bet going, and I kind of lost even though she cheated, but I won't go into details with that either. Anyway, I was putting down some of my best work, like full hip movement and everything, you know? Usually have girls I just met saying they love me, but her! She so stubborn and won't give me shit! I know she loves me, I mean come on have you seen me, but you know the words mean shit too. Or maybe its just because I've said it and she hasn't and she knows I hate that she got a leg up on me. What do you think?" I look down at Katya.

Her face is blank, "I didn't realize you were so self centered".

I pursed my lips, "that wasn't necessarily an insult, Katrina's way worse".

Thats when I heard it, the bustle of feet, the unending noise of people talking and moving around.

A city.

Before my eyes the city came into view.

Finally.

I was almost back.

Almost there.

Almost to Katrina.
