Captured

Chapter 17

We went back to the hotel room and watched the ocean. Each wave going back and forth. I snuggled up to Maxwell and he wrraped his arm around me.

(Maxwell's POV)

Brair was the best thing to happen to me and while she did consume most of my thoughts and time right now I couldn't think about anything besides the moon. Gavin drinking on a full moon suprises me because we all know thats when our enemy likes to strike. Werewolves, the things that torment us at full moons and certainly our biggest enemy. I know Gavin is weak when he drinks because he always gets drunk. I just can't wrap my head around it. Hades shows up when Brair gets sick and Gavin gets drunk all under a full moon.  I had to stop thinking about it.

"Maxwell." I saw Brair tugging on my sleeve. "Yeah, what's up." I focused all my attention on her. "Maxwell, I need to go back to my apartment before they know I am gone." "Why?" "I had a few things that I can't let them throw out."  "They are really important to you." She nodded and gave me puppy dog eyes. "I'll do it because I love you."

It took us half the time to fly there than drive. Well for me to fly Brair there. We got  to Brair's and I flew her in through the window we left. Everytging was the same. It'd been almost a month and no one even noticed she left. I guess when her rent check doesn't come in they will know. "I'll be quick Maxey." She looked up at me and kissed my cheek and sprinted off to her room.

(Brair POV)

I grabbed a drawstring bag from my closet and grabbed a few things. My old tiger stuffed animal. It was special because my mom gave it to me. She was dead now. She died in a car accident, we were never close but I still love her. I grabbed the one family photo I have with all of us. My dad, my mom, my brother, and me. I have no clue where my brother is now but he left at 16. He wasn't blood related my parents adopted him before I was born. Then I grabbed a photo of my father. He is still MIA. Has been for 3 years. When I was 17 they said he had went MIA. He was overseas and I had been use to living by myself but when they told me that I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't breath. I'd always had bad panic attacks but they got worse when my dad went MIA. He was the only one who truely loved me. Now I have Maxwell and I think it's safe to say he loves me. It was just three things but things that meant so much. I put on my draw string bag and walked back out to Maxwell. "Ready?" I nodded.

We got back around noon and Maxwell looked miserable. I hated he had to be out in the sun. I know he disliked it. "Maxwell come sit down." I said motioning toward the couch in our hotel room. He stumbled but sat down. "Maxwell did you get burned." I said with a sad face. I told him don't fly if it was gonna hurt him. "No I'm fine Brair" he said wincing when I touched his shoulder. "Let me see" I demanded. He took his shirt off and there where burns. Although they are minor they are a bright red. "Maxwell!" He looked away. "Hold on I will be right back don't move" I warned him.

I walked over to the fidge and grabbed an ice pack. I grabbed a rag and poured could water over it. Walking back over to Maxwell I set the ice pack on the table. "This might sting." I dabbed the cold rag over his burns he winced in pain. "I'm sorry Maxey." I continued to dab his burns so they wouldn't blister as bad. "Hold on I will be back." I got up agian and grabbed two pain relievers and a glass of water.

"Here take these" I handed him the pills and the water. He took them. "Okay now hold this here," I said putting the icepack on his shoulder where his main burn was.

I kissed his forehead and just as I was about to make a snack he pulled me  down ontop of him. "Hey, you're hurt." I said pouting. "I just wanted to tell you I love you." I rolled my eyes. "Maxwell, I love you." I got back up and russled his hair.

I went over to the kitchen and started making a snack. I was kinda tired considering it was almost 1 in the afternoon. Right as I finished putting the PB&J together I heared a loud groan. "Maxwell why did you let me drink so much." I about spit the sip of water I just took out of my mouth. I looked over and Gavin was rubbing his head and looked over at me then to Maxwell. "Well damn, what happned to you?" "The sun" Maxwell replied. I smirked and brought a PB&J over to Maxwell. "Here babe." Maxwell smiled wide. "Thanks Brair" he said taking a big bite from MY sandwich. "Hey!!!" I protested. "The other one was yours." "Fine I'll take a bite from both!" He smirked taking a bite from his sandwich. "I stuck out a pouty lip." "Okay whatever just happened was really depressing. Get a life. And hey Brair thanks for the sandwich." Gavin said taking MY sandwich. I pouted and sat down next to Maxwell. Babe come here. He said motioning for me to cuddle into his chest. "Maxwell you are hurt." His arm was drapped on the couch with an ice pack across his shoulder and his stomach had two large burns. "They will heal fast but you are upset." "I just wanted a sandwich is that to much to ask for." I fake pouted. He gave me a smile and passed me his half eaten sandwich. "Here take a few bites from mine." I smiled wide and ate tiny bites from his sandwich. "Brair you're bites are so small." He chuckled. "Not all of us have fangs." He just shook his head at me. "If you weren't hurt I would punch you in the arm so hard." Gavin just laughed and walked out of the room. I rolled my eyes and sat criss-cross on the sofa. We watched TV for a while and I felt myslef drifting to sleep.
