Housemates

Chapter 19

 //Marisa//

"You saw me naked" I yelled at him. He held his hands up in defense, eyes going wide.

"Whoa please calm down it wasn't my fault." He said, still having hi hands up in the hair. I glanced to Lucy and saw her quietly snickering. Saber glared at her.
"Well then who's was it and why were you in my closet?" I questioned him. I crossed my arms and glared as well.

"It was Lucy's she locked me in the closet and when you opened it I jumped out." Saber explained. I looked at Lucy to see that she stopped her silent laughter.

"So I admit to the fact I locked him in the closet but that's because he ripped my favorite dresses. Also you can't blame me for the fact that you saw her naked. You could've left out the room or meowed super loud." Lucy said. I could tell she was getting a kick out of this. I looked at Saber.

"Hey the doors were closed where was I supposed to go." Saber said in a defensive tone.

"Back to the closet." Lucy and I said at the same time. We looked at each other and started laughing. I saw Saber's head swivel back and forth between the two of us.
"I swear girl's are the weirdest creatures ever made on this earth." Saber said exasperated. I looked at him once my fit of giggles were over.
"You're still not off the hook. Why didn't you turn into a cat around me." I said. He looked at Lucy who looked at me.

"I'm just going to give you the full story. Saber was turned into a cat by a dark fairy. He's actually human but has the uncanny ability to sometimes turn into a cat. He can't control it, it just seems to happen. I found him wandering around the forest about a year ago. After about six months of living with him he started changing into human form. I guess that only happens around me." Lucy told me. I squinted my eyes at Saber.

"Okay since Lucy says so. Anyways why did you bring me down here?" I asked him.
"Because I heard your stomach growl before so I brought you to the kitchen. I'm sorry that I cared enough for that just please don't hurt me." Saber said. He still had his hands slightly held up in the air. I sighed.
"No I am not going to hurt you and thank you for caring Saber." I told him, giving a sweet smile at the end of the sentence. He smiled back,relieved I guess.
"Shoot I was hoping you hurt him Marisa. He still messed up my best dresses." Lucy said which made me laugh a bit.

"Be quiet Lucy. I messed up your dresses because you put me outside in the freezing cold and I had no clothes on." Saber retorted. Lucy stuck her tongue out at him.

"You carved Domo into my bath soaps. It's cute but not funny." So Saber was the culprit of the Domo bath soaps.
"You've got to admit that was pretty funny Lucy plus I was bored out of my cat mind." Lucy was being really childish that it was different from her cold exterior. Saber seemed to bring that out of her. They're comical retorts made me laugh. They both looked at me.

" What?" They said at the same time.

"You guys are just so cute together." I told them. That caused Lucy to slightly blush and Saber to roll his eyes.

"Girls always think something is sooo cute" He said sooo cute in a high pitched girl's voice. He looked at Lucy. "I'm going to take a bath." Before anyone could say something else he was gone. I turned to Lucy.

"Okay won't he just turn back into a cat." I assumed.
"He has about two hours before that happens but if he doesn't want to he'll just start hanging around me. " For some odd reason I think Lucy didn't seem to mind. I won't ask her about her crush but maybe another time. "So what do you want to eat?" Lucy asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

" Uh I'll just make a sandwich. Do you have turkey?" I asked her. She nodded and using her supernatural speed in the blink of an eye had everything sat out in front of me.

"Thanks for everything." I told her. She looked at me for a moment seeming a bit startled before mumbling out, "No problem."

I made my sandwich in silence while Lucy sat in the kitchen chair reading . For a while there was only the sound of the wind rustling the trees in the forest. The sky had become a bit darker."So" I said starting a conversation."Does anyone else know about this place?" I was closing up the bread at the time.

" No so don't worry none of my brothers will find you." Lucy said not looking up from her magazine. I nodded and walked to the fridge putting the stuff back in. I grabbed mys sandwich and sat in a chair next to Lucy at the little round table. I took a bite of my sandwich,chewed then swallowed.
"So do you know the fairies that built this place?" I asked her before taking another bite of my sandwich.

"No but my great grandmother did." Lucy looked at me putting her magazine down in the process."I know that you're just going to continue to ask questions so I'll just tell you. My great gran gave me this place awhile back before she died. It's my safe house away from my siblings ,away from her. Fairies do come around every once in awhile but I only know the new generation my gran knew the generation that built this cottage. I won't go farther than that." She picked up her magazine and turned away from me.

"Did you really try to kill your mother,your family?" The question just slipped from my mouth. Lucy didn't hesitate when she said,"Yes,yes I did. Now no further questions please." I didn't ask her any further questions. I finished my sandwich, threw my napkin away then went to my room. I didn't want to pry but I knew she was lying, she didn't kill them. I lay in my bed, thought about it and went to sleep. Some time in the middle of the night I thought I heard Jude call my name but maybe I was dreaming.

Jude's POV:

I was still running on the ground thinking I would get a better smell of her. Around midnight I did and I thought I could hear her heartbeat but there was nothing and all I saw was forest.

"Marisa" I called out but there was no answer. Of course why would there be Jude. Either she's dead or she just doesn't want to hear me. I could smell her but again there was nothing but forest. I also thought I heard Lucy's voice so I stepped closer to the area where I was hearing the things. Her heartbeat felt stronger and I knew she was somewhere near and this area was large.
I put my hand out and felt something but nothing was there. Was there actually a house or something here?. I was about to call out Marisa's or Lucy's name but I heard a gunshot sound in the north. Shit, I stayed out too long. The hunters were coming. I took one last glance at the large cloaked area then I climbed a tree and started quickly hopping from branch to branch.
