"Sorry..." Megan repeated Alex's words. "It came without a warning..."
She pushed herself up, resting on her elbows to have a better view on Alex.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex looked at her, confused. "What did?" He asked, wondering why she had fainted in the first place. He sighed, biting his lip a little.

[Kisiel]

Megan shook her head, not wanting to remember what had happened. But the awful memory was like a ghost, haunting her whenever she tried to push it away. "Nothing," she muttered, annoyed with her own weakness.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex sighed. "Okay..." He was too exhausted to try persuade her to tell him. He sat up on the bed next to her, taking her hand in his silently.

[Kisiel]

Megan watched him carefully and noticed that the bruise on hiscgeek was now darker shade of purple-ish blue. The touch of Alex's hand on hers calmed Megan down, but she was still tired from fighting with her own body. With a loud sigh, she gently dropped her back on the mattress again.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex turned to her and smiled. The bruise on his cheek didn't hurt so much unless you really prodded it. He stroked the back of her hand, swiping his thumb over her soft skin.

[Kisiel]

A small shiveer ran through Megan, barely noticeable. It was so quiet, so calm. Nobody would have thought that not that long ago she was on the floor, tormented by her own body. A faint simle appeared on her lips, yet she didn't open the and remained silent.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex watched Megan with interest, smiling slightly. To think, all this happened because of a kidnapping... He thought, shaking his head in wonder. Looks like I picked the right girl...

[Kisiel]

Megan closed her eyes, enjoying every stroke of Alex's skin against hers. She wanted to say how much she appreciated his presence, but was too weak to speak.

[Midnight Butterfly]

Alex looked at her, noticing her closed eyes and wondering if she had fallen asleep. He shrugged, keeping his hold on her hand none the less and smiled, noticed how much his hand seemed to dwarf hers.
