Five grabs my hand and teleports us to a secluded area. I look around. It looks like a little clear area in the middle of a forest. It's night and the stars are gorgeously out tonight. We must be a bit far from the city. I look at Five.

"Wow... This is..." I begin, amazed with where we are.

"As gorgeous as you?" He smirks, taking a step closer to me and holding onto my hand sweetly. "Not even close. Your beauty outmatches this a thousand times over." He smiles and looks deeply into my eyes.

"Gosh.." I blush, but not daring to look away. His face is inches from mine. I can't stop staring into his eyes. His gorgeous eyes. They suck me right in and hold me hostage. "Five.."

"Yes, my darling?" He says lowly and sultrily, staring right back into my eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you, too." He smirks and closes the gap between us. He steps closer and holds me in his embrace. His lips tasting amazing, his touch as gentle as ever. I love him.

"You're gorgeous." He whispers to me.

"You're more," I whisper back. He smiles.

We hear voices in the distance, in the trees. Five looks away to examine the threat. He's always too anxious, too cautious. It's just some hikers. I hold onto him as close as I can, my head on his shoulder and I close my eyes.

He holds me back, one arm around me, one at attention, ready to grab his gun from his coat if needed.

"Hello, gentlemen." Five gives a recluse smile. The men have emerged out of the bushes. It was two tall teenage men, not wearing any bags on them so they couldn't be hikers.

"Oo, dude, look at that dish." The first one nudges his friend. Five's grip around me tightens and I look up at them.

"Pretty face, too." The other remarks.

"Too bad she's not for sale." Five growls.

The guys smirk at each other. They walk closer.

"Too bad we're stronger than you." The second says, lowly, bending down to meet Five's height, hands in his pockets. I stiffen. Are they gonna hurt me? Five looks at me for a second to check on me but the 2nd man punches him right as he does, causing Five to fall to the ground.

"Shit!" Five curses.

The first guy grabs onto me. I struggle, but his grip is harsh. He holds me away as the second goes for Five again. He's making me watch.

"Five!" I yelled out.

"Don't worry, I got this." He reassures me. He spacial jumps away from the man going after him, so he's now on his feet. He grabs his gun and aims it directly at his head. The other man slows down, holding his hands up.

"Woah, kid, chill. We're not planning on hurting you, we just want the girl."

"I'm not letting you." He jumps to right behind the guy holding me and he bashes the back of his knee, making him fall down and let go of me. Five grabs me, and teleports me to the edge of the clearing. He stands in front of me, holding his gun out to the two men.

"He's fucking crazy!" The first guy exclaims, fear dripping from his voice.

"Yeah. And if you don't leave now, I'll kill you both. Show you how crazy I really am." He cocks his pistol.

"Alright, man, alright." The second guy negotiates, "We'll leave. No need to shoot." They back up, disappearing into the woods. As soon as they're out of the clearing, they turn around and make a run for it. Five watches them get far away before he lowers his weapon. He lets out the air he's been holding, puts his gun back in his blazer, and turns right back to me.

"Are you okay??" He pulls me close and holds my cheek. Genuine sincerity in his eyes.

"Yes, yeah, I, uh.. God." I drop to the ground, he drops with me.

"I will never let anyone hurt you."

"What if you're not there?"

"I'll know you're in trouble and come immediately." He reassures me. "That is," he laughs, "if we are ever apart." His eyes soften into pure love.

I grab onto the ends of his blazer and start sobbing into them. He holds me and lets me get it all out.

"I just.. They would've... Oh god." I sob.

"I know, I know, but that didn't happen. It's okay. I will protect you. I will always be there for you."

"Please.. Can we go home?"

"Yes, my love. Absolutely." He jumps us back to the Academy. He picks me up, hands under my thighs, my arms around his neck and face dug into it. I wrap my legs around him. He carries me back inside.

"Woah, Five, where've you two been?" Klaus engages, leaning against the wall to the living area, where everyone else seems to be.

"Piss off." Five growls and brings me all the way to his room.

He lays me down on his bed on my side and kneels next to it, our faces at the same level so he can examine me.

He reaches his hand to caress my cheek, "Are you okay, my love?" I slowly nod, holding back tears.

"Hold me please." I barely manage to get out.

"Yes, of course." He nods and climbs into bed with me. He pulls the covers over us. I hold onto him and sob into his chest. He puts his chin on top of my head and holds me close to himself. "I'm so sorry he even got close to you. I'm so sorry he grabbed you." I sobbed harder. His grip on me is tight, making me feel like he'll never let go of me. It was a comforting feeling. I could hear his breath hitch and I knew he was crying too. His left hand moved up to the back of my head, holding me there. I adjusted and held him tighter. He really cared about me. He feels it was a failure on his part that they did anything to me at all. He's mad at himself that he let them go and didn't kill them like they deserved.

We stayed there like that the whole night. I didn't get much sleep, and neither did he.
