we stepped inside the house. it was very nicely renovated you could feel the warmth of the house as we stepped in.

 "Hello?" I said I could hear my voice bounce back at me as I echoed thought the house I heard a noise and out of a corner in the room was a little girl about 6 or 7 she walked to the middle of the room

"a-are you going to hurt me?" she asked clenching her teddy bear against her chest. I came closer and crouched down next to her.

" no, we are just like you survivers. now is your parents' home." I said with a soft smile

"no, they left and haven't come back." I looked at her as my smile faded and look back at Cassian. he meets my eyes and knotted his head as if he was telling me they have died. I turned around at the girl and said they probably got lost but we will take care of you for now. she knotted her head.

"Can you show us around your house, "I asked she knotted and took my hand she showed us around her house she was really sweet and I know we could not just leave her? in this huge house this was only 3 bedrooms. and Mason was fast to pick a bedroom and the other was the little girls and no me and Cassian had to share a room. we looked at each other and my face went red and I could feel the heat from his.

"Ma-." but he was already asleep.

"It is ok I will sleep on the floor," I said 

"no, I will" he added. we both got into the bed and stayed on opposite sides. I could feel his body relaxes as he fell asleep. in the night I started to shiver I could feel the cold from the nearby window but did not want to get up. I could feel Cassian roller over

" Are you ok," he said still half sleeping

" yeah just cold," I replied I could feel him shift his body over and laid his arm over me, and pressed his body against my back. Butterfly forme and I could feel him smiling 

"better, " he said he whispered into my ear almost touching it. chills raced down my back and I did not respond as I was all ready asleep.

"good night Mayra, " he said and dozed off.
