Graves wipes the tears from my face, his anger is gone, now he just feels incredibly guilty.
"Avery,  you should've told me, I'm sorry you had to go through that..." he says with a concerned look.
"But I won't stand for this.." he says standing up, he leaves the room, with me behind, confused at first. Oh god. He's gonna confront Nacht. I chase after him and he's already out the door, going off in the direction of my apartment. I catch up, tugging on his arm.
"Graves please! He'll hurt you! He hasn't done anything to me! I'll be fine!" Despite my words he keeps moving, completely ignoring me. He barges through the door, storming up to a very startled Nacht.
"Heya gravy?" He asks before being pushed against the wall. Graves has him by the throat. Nacht looks annoyed but doesn't turn him to rust.
"What did I tell you?" Graves snarls. Nacht glances at me, I look away with guilt in my eyes.
Nacht pushes him back with ease, picking up his bat and pointing it to Graves's chest. He looks mad, serious, ready to kill.
"Whatsit to you? Jealous the little kitten chose me over you?" He grins devishly.  I stand there dumbfounded; shocked, I don't know what to do.
"I know what your doing Nacht! Your using her!" He calls out, he staying pretty still. If he touches the bat he's rust. I watch, turning my focus to Nacht... he's using me?...
"You just want to be here long enough to steal this place and make it your own coven!" I pause... is that true?... is Nacht really only here for that.. why do I even care.. why? Nacht's grin is wiped off, he pulls his bat away, tossing it up to rest on his shoulder.
"Ya still think I'm a coldheartin' asshole huh?" Nacht has venom in his voice. He doesn't look at me, he's staring down Graves.
"Avery told me everything Nacht, I know what you did" he blurts out and realizes his mistake. Now Nacht knows.. he probably hates me now.
"It would be ideal for you to leave this place Nacht.. for the second time" graves is calmer now. But Nacht isn't.. he is clearly about to burst.. but he doesn't. He turns to me and walks up. A cold and broken expression on his face. He looks down at me for a last time. Before slipping around me and leaving... he's gone. My eyes go blurry from more tears. Graves comes up to me, his arms out but I push him away. He seems surprised... he shouldn't be. He shakes his head.
"I'm sorry Avery" and just like that he leaves too. I'm alone... I don't now what to do.. why am I caring so much.. it's Nacht. Aren't I suppose to hate him?

Minutes pass, hours pass, and no sign of them. The sun starts to set and im still alone, pacing frantically through my house. I need to find him... I don't know why but I need to. I throw on my hoodie and run out the door. I need to find Nacht. It's dark, kinda cold, and I don't know where I'm going but I'm going.
"Nacht!"
"Nacht!"
"Nacht?" I call out for hours... why why.. I keep asking myself why am I caring so much about him.. isn't he still the same bad witch who tried to rust away everyone. It's really cold out here... my eyes are tired and my legs are week... I jog, I walk, I crawl.. I slam into the Ground, coldness eating away me. I curl up and my eyes wave.. can't keep... them... open...

My eyes flutter open.. im in my bed? Something's wrapped around me and I look down at my waist... those are.. nacht's arms? I perk up, looking behind me. It's him! Why did he come back? What happened to me? I lay back down, embracing the moment.
"Nacht?" I whisper
"Mm kitten?" Wow he responded.. didn't expect that. He lets go sitting up
"What happend? Why did you come back.."
"I found ya freezing to death, unkind of me to leave a frozen kitten in the cold"
Jeez is that true? Damn.
"Oh.. thank you, but why did you come back?"
"If I leftya ya would've gone out looking for me again."
"Oh... sorry.."
"Tsh don't sweat it, neva had someone care that much though" Holy cow is he...? Is he blushing?! Hehe I guess he is a big softie on the inside.
"And as for the cuddling?" I smirk teasing him. He throws a pillow in my face and leaves the room. Psh what a tough guy.
