'Song: Sensitivity-Alex Goot'

Kathy POV

I could feel something stir against me causing me to wake up. I prided my eyes open and looked down to see Jane curled up against my side, sound asleep. It warmed my heart as I looked down at her. moving my gaze from her, I looked around the room to see a smiling Finny in the corner of the room. I wrap my arms around her protectively, growling lowly at him. He put his up in submission.

I looked backed down at her with a small smile. "She really cares about you, you know that right?" He asked which I only nodded in return. "She makes me smile when I'm having a bad day. She fights for me when I'm in some tough shit. Even when she is so depressed that she can't leave her house, she makes sure that I use my heart with every choice I make. She's my sun, even though she now lives in the dark."

After spilling my guts to Finny, the room became very quite with the only sounds were that of Jane's soft breathing. I ran my fingers through her hair and looked at her lovingly. She is my best friend. No one could replace her. "She feels the same way." That sentence caused me shoot my head up, to look at him. "W-what?" Was all I could get out. "Before she fell asleep, she said that she really cares for you and that is one of the reasons why she can't go home." My eyes landed on Jane. Why? Why would that keep her away from her family? I'm not that important.

She should be able to go home and be happy. I looked back up at Finny and motion for him to come to the bed. He hesitantly walked over and sat next to me. I laid back, staring up at the cream colored ceiling.

"What can I do to help her?" I mumbled to myself. I closed my eyes feeling sleepy. I felt the bed shift, realizing that Finny must've laid down. "I'm sorry for making your life a little harder for you and your pack." I apologized.

"No, it's alright. If Jane didn't find me and help me, I would've been freezing and hungry out in that cold night. I'm great full to her." He said with a hint of happiness in his tone. We laid there for a few moments before I fell asleep.

Jane POV
I woke to the smell of freshly cut grass and vanilla. I knew immediately that it was Kathy. A smile crept onto my face as I opened my eyes to see her sleeping figure. Sitting up, my smile quickly faded when I saw Finny curled up into Kathy's side.

I got up off the bed and stormed out of the room. The moment I entered the hall the smell of cooked food made its way into my nose, causing me to gage.

I ran into my room and to the bathroom. I emptied my stomach into the bowl. After washing up, I made my way to the bed. Sitting on the edge closest to the window, I began to look out. I watched the trees sway and the birds settle down for the night.

I don't know how long I sat there but I was snapped out of my daze from the door bursting open. I turn my gaze toward the sound and saw a panicked looking Finny.

When he saw me he sighed with relief. Silence combed through the room as he made his way to his chair in the corner. I looked back to the window and continued to stared.

I don't trust anyone. How could Finny do that to me. He knows Kathy means everything to me, so why would he cuddle with her while she sleeps? As my mind wonders there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Finny called out. The door slowly opened to reveal Ashton. He walked to me with that familiar disguising glass of warm red liquid.standing in front of me, he held the glass out to me. I don't want to drink it. I don't want to be a monster. Why are they making me do this? I never asked to be this way. I turned my head away from it.

"Jane, you need to drink this." Ashton said. I didn't move. I don't want to. I know I'm acting like a child, but would you blame me?

"Jane, drink it." I flinched at his commands. Unlike werewolves' commands, I can definitely feel the strong power of it from Ashton. I slowly looked at him. Pleading him as much as I can while only using my eyes, to not make me drink it.

"That's not going to work on me. Now drink it." I huffed at him but slowly grabbed it. I quickly gulped it down feeling to warmth and power of it flowing into me. I sighed as I looked at the empty glass. I heard a quite chuckle and snapped my head to the source. Finny stopped and looked at me with surprise and a hint of fear.

Realizing that my eyes must of changed, I lower my head and try to calm myself. Once I was calm I looked up to Ashton, handing him the empty glass. He had a small smile upon his handsome face. His chiseled chin and pale tone contracted perfectly with his hazel gaze and dark brown hair, that fell perfectly on top of his head.

Ok, just because I'm a lesbian doesn't mean I can't appreciate a good looking man. I haven't known Ashton for very long but he seems like a decent guy. That doesn't mean that I trust him, just that I might as well get along with him since his an immortal as well and I might be stuck with him for a very long time.

He nodded a satisfied nod, turning and walking out of the room. Feeling a gaze on me, I look to Finny in the corner. He's wearing a small smirk as his head lay in his hand against the chair's arm.

I just glared at him with so much detest that he soon shifted uncomfortably in his spot. "W-what?" He uttered. I continued to glare as I spoke. "I don't know. How was your little nap?" I questioned with anger lacing my words.

He looked at me in confusion. "Huh?" I just shook my head pulling my gaze from him to the window once again. "Nothing." Was the last thing I said. We just sat there in awkward silence before he drifted to sleep. I stay up just starring at the moon.

I never knew how beautiful it was until now.
