Erin wanted to go home so much she almost couldn’t bare it. She didn’t like any of the people here. Expect Ehud. He was alright. And…you know…kind of cute.

Erin mentally slapped herself. She couldn’t afford to lose track of herself because of the blond, blue-grey eyed boy…

But Ehud was the best of the lot. After he had found her crying, a wall of security and the urge to act cold and emotionless towards him crumbled away.

He knew she had weak moments and was a flawed human. So she didn’t have to be in charge of him any more.

He made her feel safe. Like when Sander shielded her from an attack, or when she saw Jackson’s grin appear as he rushed to save her from a plunging blade. Sometimes she wondered if they would survive the next battle.

But they always did. Erin gaze shifted to Ehud. She wanted to trust him, and tell him she trusted him. She wanted him to take her home to the safety of the Comet.

The next time her gaze darted to him, he was talking to Axe Lady. Erin gritted her teeth. Ehud didn’t need to be talking to her.

Erin heard the words tumbling from her mouth before she knew she was saying them.

“Ehud…I want to talk to you.”
