Tiffany's POV

"I can protect you..." He said softly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. He released me.

"I'm sorry..." He said.

"What? No... Can you...please stay..." I requested of him and his eyes opened slightly.

"O-okay..." He said and I felt his strong arms wrap around me once more. I hugged him back and I knew my tears were probably falling on his shirt, making it damp.

"I...I'm sorry I'm crying..." I whispered and he rubbed circles on my back.

"That's ok. Crying helps make you feel better," Red replied and I nodded my head. Why was he being so nice to me? I had only just met him yesterday. First he saves my life, then he comforts me? No one has ever done that for me before.

"...why are you being so nice to me...?" I asked and he sighed.

"Because I..." He cut himself short.

I let him think.

"Because it's seems as if no one ever has before," he finished and I nodded my head. He was right.

"Thank you..." I said and I looked at him to see he was smiling.

"It's alright. Do you want to get some breakfast?" He asked and until that moment, I hadn't realized how hungry I was.

"Yes, I'm starving," I replied and he laughed as I held my stomach. He led me to the kitchen and I looked around the pantry. I started grabbing different ingredients.

"Whatcha making?" He asked as I started whisking together some ingredients.

"Ever heard of a crêpe?" I asked and he shook his head.

"What's that?" He asked and I giggled.

"It's a thin pancake that you stuff with other things. There is two kinds: sweet as savory. I like the sweet ones," I told him and he smiled.

"Those sound good. What do you put in yours?"

"Marshmallow, peanut butter, strawberries, bananas, and chocolate," I replied almost immediately.

"Those sound really good..." He said and started eyeing the thin pancakes that I was now pouring into the pan.

"When will they be ready?" He asked.

"In about-" I started but then was cut off by a yell.

"I smell food! Really good food!" Yelled Chimney. I shook my head and laughed.

"Yeah... I'm making breakfast," I said and I noticed that Chim had a large grin on his face. Ali came rushing in after with a scowl.

"Chimney! You scared the living daylight a outta me!" She screamed and grabbed him by the ear. Red and I laughed.

"Ow...ow...ow...ow...ow..." He said as he was dragged to the chair at the dining table and scolded. I noticed that the crêpes were done so I put them on a platter and grabbed different fillers. I grabbed marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, grape and strawberry jelly, chocolate, bananas, kiwis, orange slices, cream cheese, whipped cream and cherries. How did they get all of this stuff? I don't know.

"Ok! Breakfast is almost ready, but you have to come and fill your crêpe with what you like. Everyone gets two," I said and the boys came rushing over.

"Hey! Save some for the rest of us!" Yelled Ali. When the boys retreated, there was still plenty left for us two. I filled mine with the usual foods and went to sit down. It was silent; the men were stuffing their faces with food and I just shook my head.

"Haven't you ever had a crêpe before?" I asked and they shook their heads.

"I haven't eaten this well since...forever..." Red said taking another bite.

"Ali's cooking isn't as good as this," I looked over at her to see that she was smiling.

"I agree," she said. We continued eating until everyone had finished their plates.

"Well, I'm gonna go take a nap now," Chimney said while cleaning up.

"No. You and I have to go hunting," Red told him.

"But... But I don't wanna!" He said in a child's voice.

"C'mon Chim, don't be that way! You go hunting with Red while we go out and explore," Ali said and Chim crossed his arms in defeat.

"Fine," he said simply and stormed off, Red trailing behind him.
