She let go of his wrist and walked over to sit against her tree

James followed after her and looked at her, "How are you feeling?"

" I'm okay I'm still coughing up blood but I'm okay" she said

"No ache in your fangs?" James asked.

She shook her head " no pain" she said

"No strange urges?" James asked her.

She shook her head " no " she said honestly

"That's good," James gave a little nod before repeating himself, "That's good."

She sighed closing her eyes she leaned Back against the bark of the tree

James looked at her and then around the clearing, "Does this place feel like home?"

She shook her head " my homes gone James" she said opening her eyes to look at him

"I'm sorry about that," James replied to her, "But I'm sure you'll find one."

She sighed once more, " I don't think so I don't have any family anymore just my brother but he hates me there's no one who loves me and even if they did they won't anymore"

"A home is more than a family," James told her gently, "As long as you feel safe and comfortable somewhere then that's your home."

" I don't feel safe or comfortable anywhere" she said

"Well, I'm sure you will eventually," James assured her.

" maybe " she sighed in defeat

"Hey, don't sound so glum," James told her even though he knew he was being a bit of a hypocrite.

" I'm sorry " she said a tear rolling down her cheek" I'm just tired and scared"

"I don't blame you for feeling that way. Anyone in your posistion would feel that way," James couldn't stop the words from falling as he continued, "Hell I felt that way I one point too."

She looked up at him, her eyes glossed over " really?" She asked

"Yes, really," James replied still a little startled he had said that in the first place, "It was a long time ago and I, I was much different back then."

She sighed m, " I just want a family that's all I've ever wanted" she said

"I'm sure you'll get that family," James told her not sure where this was all coming from. Her 'new family' would have to be Quincy and him, which would probably never happen.

" I know your just saying all this because you feel bad you don't actually believe any of it" she said
