14: The Family Cabin

It's nearly four in the morning when they finally arrive at Donna's family cabin. They all get out of the car and look at the giant, expensive looking residence. "Welcome to my humble abode"! Donna announced with outstretched arms. "Okay, our definition of "humble" is way different from yours". Drake says as stares at the cabin in shock. Donna takes out a set of keys and opens the front door and everyone gets inside.

Donna shuts the door behind her and claps twice, making the lights switch on. The cabin is illuminated with beautiful, gold chandeliers and a huge fireplace immediately activates itself. Everyone looks around in awe."We get to stay here for a WHOLE WEEKEND"?! Finn asks excitingly. "Donna, this is incredible"! Nadia exclaimed. "Thanks". She giggled. Drake immediately runs upstairs and he excitedly runs to the ledge after a few seconds.

"Guys, these bedrooms are HUGE"! He shouted. They all run upstairs to check out the bedrooms, which are, in fact, huge. "This is insane. Five MASTER bedrooms"?! Sophia asked in pure shock. "Donna, you are THE BEST"! Finn commented. "Again, thanks". She said with a smile. "Alright, people"! Donna called out, grabbing everyone's attention. "It's time to call it a night, so everybody get cleaned up and get ready for bed". She ordered. "Nadia, Finn, and Drake, you guys need to get patched up". She carried on as she walked to her hallway closet and got out two first aid kits.

"There's only two, so someone's gonna have to share". She explained. "I can share mine with Nadia". Finn says immediately, raising voice a little too loud. "Okay, then that's settled". Donna said with a giggle. Of course, since there's five bedrooms, we all get a room of our own". She says as she turns to go downstairs. "I'll be in the kitchen if you guys need me". She stated as she left. "Um, Sophia, could you help me get patched up"? Drake said as he walked to his bedroom. "Sure". She said with a smile as she followed him. She mouthed the words, "Good Luck" to Nadia as she closed the door .

"So, you ready"? Finn asked shyly. "Um, yeah, let's go"! Nadia answered as she let out a nervous laugh. They walk into one of the bedrooms and Finn throws the first aid on the bed as he lets out a sigh and he falls down onto the bed as he runs his hands over his face. Nadia sits down next to him and takes the kit, opening it up. "I'm so tired". He said in a low tone as he blankly looks up at the ceiling. "You and me, both". Nadia said with a giggle. Finn sits up and faces Nadia. "I'm really glad you're safe, Nadia". He says with a grin. "Well , you were the one that got me out of there, and for that I thank you". She said as she smiled back at him.

Nadia got the items that she needed to start cleaning Finn's cuts that we're visible on his face. "I should be doing that for you". Finn mumbled. "Doing what exactly"? She said in confusion as she reaches for his face to clean his cuts. Finn takes her hand pulling it down from his face.

"I should be patching you up. I didn't take as many hits as you did". He said as he took his hand, and gently turned her face to the left. "Everything over here is bruised". He said as he stood up. "Finn, I'm fine". Nadia said as she grabbed his arm. "It's okay, really". She reassured him with a small grin. "It's not". He turned to her as his brows knit in frustration. "You shouldn't have been a part of all of this". He said as he gritted his teeth.

There was an intense silence that filled the room for moment before Nadia sooner again. "What happened in that interrogation room, Finn"? Nadia asked cautiously. "When I was knocked out, from whatever those creeps gave me, I could hear her". He said as he fiddled with his thumbs. "You mean the woman we keep seeing"? Nadia asked. "She said that she wanted me to save you and protect the stone by "unleashing its power", and I think I did that in the interrogation room". He said as he shook his head. "What do you mean"? Nadia asked tilting her head to the side. "Just....just look". He told her, nervously shifting his body in front of her.

Finn concentrates on his hand, focusing on the power he had and what he felt during the battle in the interrogation room earlier that night. Then, to his surprise, his hand started to glow with a bright white light, that shined on Finn and Nadia's face. "Oh my god". Nadia mumbled in astonishment as she looked at Finn, whose already staring at her and he starts to blush profusely as the glowing light disappears. "That's amazing, Finn"! Nadia exclaimed. "Um thanks". He said as he studied his hand.

Finn and Nadia notices how close they are to one another, and they both laughed apprehensively. Finn stops laughing and looks at Nadia with concern. "But, this, the powers that had now, maybe if they came quicker"- "Finn stop. Stop blaming yourself. We touched the crystal, not just you. They were after me too". Nadia said as she put her hand over his. "I still feel bad about it though". He murmured.

Finn looks at Nadia's bruised face with guilt and sighs as his thumb gently rubs over her injured cheek as Nadia looks at him with curiosity. The door opens as, Finn jerks his hand down from her cheek in embarrassment and Nadia sits up straight and nervously clears he throat. "Hey, Donna". Nadia as she nervously pulls a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Umm hey". Donna says clearly stunned at what she saw. "Finn, there's someone on the phone for you". She said. "Oh okay". He said as he got up. "I'll be right back". Finn said to Nadia as he smiled shyly. Donna gently closed the door behind him.

"I knew he was up to something when he said that he wanted to share the first aid kit with you!" Donna squealed in excitement. "Oh my gosh". Nadia said as she giggled and rolled her eyes. "You can't lie, you we're totally up for it!" Donna said as she pointed at Nadia. "I'm gonna go get something to eat". Nadia said as she stood up and opened the door. "But, Nadia"! Donna whined. "Bye, Donna"! Nadia sung as left the room.

As Nadia goes downstairs she passes Finn, she notices that he looks a little angry while he's on the phone. She goes up to him. "It's Marie". He whispers as he takes the phone away from his ear and immediately puts it back. Nadia can hear Marie practically yelling over the phone as Finn just sits there trying to calm himself down. "Give me the phone". Nadia ordered. "What"? Finn asked in confusion. "Hand over the phone. Now." She hissed giving him her most convincing death stare. "Fine, here". He gives in passing the phone to her. Nadia immediately hangs up the phone. "There. Problem solved". She said with a smirk. Everyone stared at Nadia in shock and Sophia hollers. "No way you just did that"! She says as she struggles to breathe for laughing so hard.

Finn's eyes widened in horror. "What did you THAT for"?! Finn shouted. "You don't deserve to get treated like that with the night you just had". Nadia said as she walked off. Finn stares at Nadia as she walks off, in pure mesmerization. Drake walks up from behind and pats him on the back. "All I can say to you is good luck. Because you'll definitely need it tomorrow". Drake says with a laugh.

"Nadia is really something else". He adds.

"Yeah, she truly is".
