Wicked Souls

I nodded again.

Harrow noticed how I was biting my nails. It seemed like I was quite anxious about everything that was happening around me. He understood that it was normal and he had to try and help me feel more comfortable.

"It's definitely weird being out after staying in that place for quite some time, I guess we will have to get used to everything, huh?" He said softly in an attempt to lighten the mood a little bit.

I nodded "I don't have any clothes," I said gently.

Harrow seemed to have forgotten about that for a few moments. But hearing me say that just reminded him about it.

"Oh yeah, you told me that before we left. Don't worry about it for now, I have some clothes you can borrow temporarily until we can get you some new ones," He said in a comforting tone as he kept his eyes on the road ahead of him.

I nodded, and I took slow breaths to relax. I leaned against the seat and looked out of the window, I watched the other cars drive by.

Harrow noticed that I seemed to have some difficulty in trying to relax. He knew that the whole situation was new to me, and he wanted to make sure that I didn't feel overwhelmed or like I was stuck in this uncomfortable feeling.

So he decided to speak to me in a very soft tone while he kept his eyes on the road ahead of him.

"Just enjoy the view around you, everything will be okay. I am sure that it won't take long for you to get used to this whole new experience,".

I nodded slowly, I kept watching the outside world. I rested my head on the door and I started to slowly fall asleep.

Harrow saw how I was starting to slowly fall asleep in the car, which was probably because I was getting comfortable and feeling safe. He also noticed that I was looking out of the window and watching the outside world as I was slowly falling asleep.

"Sleep well, we'll be home in about a few hours," He said in a soft, gentle tone as he watched me fall asleep. He then turned on the music very quietly so that he could listen to music while I slept.

After a few hours, Harrow pulled up into the driveway of his house. He then got out of his car and proceeded to walk around to the passenger side. He saw that I was still asleep, so he opened the door gently and tried to shake me awake.

"Hey, hun. We are home now," He said softly to me as he was trying to wake me up.

I started to wake up, I rubbed my eyes. I groaned slightly before looking up at him.

Harrow continued to shake me gently until I woke up. And when I looked up at him, he smiled softly and spoke in a calm, soothing tone. He then helped me out of the car.

"Welcome home, hun," He said, giving me a little smile.

My eyes widened to see what his house looked like. I honestly felt like it was home. It was a two-story home, with a beautiful front garden. I slowly walked ahead to look around the exterior.

Harrow watched as I was looking around his house, taking in all of the exteriors as I was looking at the two-story home. He noticed that I was looking at it with my wide eyes and my mouth slightly agape. He smiled softly to himself, taking in my reaction.

"Do you like it, hun?" He asked, wanting to see my reaction.

I nodded. "It's beautiful,".

Harrow listened to me as I was saying that and he couldn't help but smile a little bit, he knew that I liked his house and he was glad that I did.

"Well, let's inside then. You can start to settle in," He said softly.

I nodded, I waited next to the front door for him.

Harrow reached into his pocket to pull out the front key. He then proceeded to unlock the door. With a twist of the key, he opened the door and he let me in first.

"Welcome home," He said softly as I stepped inside.

My mouth was slightly open, I was a little overwhelmed but the house was stunning. I looked around the front entrance of his home. Slowly walking inside, it was cosy even though he didn't have a family, it felt like a family home even how he had decorated it.

Harrow smiled as he watched me walk in and started looking around. He was glad that I seemed to be enjoying the house, and that it felt like a home for me, given that I had just arrived from a hospital.

"I hope everything is to your liking. If it's not, feel free to adjust it," He said warmly.

"It's perfect," I responded.

Harrow smiled, he was happy that I liked the house so much. It made him feel happy to see how excited I was about the whole thing.

"I'm glad you like it, hun. I'm happy that it feels like home for you," He said happily while giving me a small kiss.

I gently kissed him back, I started to make my way further into the house, I walked into his living room. I slowly moved my fingers across the leather couch.

Harrow also kissed me back very gently. When I started to explore further into the house, he followed me and watched as I moved my hands across the leather couch. He knew that I had been enjoying exploring his house.

I looked around the living room still to see dream catchers, I walked over to them and looked at them.

Harrow followed behind me, he smiled when he saw that I was looking at the dream catchers.

"Do you know what those are?" He asked with an innocent tone, not sounding condescending at all.

I shook my head.

Harrow followed me into the living room. He looked at the dream catchers too for a bit before speaking.

"Those are dream catchers. It's believed that they can protect people from bad dreams," He said softly.
