Every once in awhile there is a light. Now I don't technically mean an actual light like the sun. Even a small act of kindness from someone. A slight laugh after someone says something funny. Something that makes you almost forget....

    How the darkness truly renders.

. . .

I opened my eyes and felt my head pounding. Trees passed by, and I started feeling extremely confused. I looked over to the driver's seat to find a very tense Hunter.

I completely forgot I had a panic attack. It'd be my luck to be in a car with a creep.

    "Don't freak out, I'm not going to kill you, I promise." Hunter said in a humorous tone. I went to speak, but my throat was very sore, and absolutely no words came out. I decided to try again after clearing my throat.

    Wa-ter?" I barely got out. Probably would have been a smart choice to ask where we were going, but I noticed his water bottle, and that seemed more needed at the moment.

    At first he looked confused and immediately reacted handing the blue water bottle to me.

    "Yes of course" He said. 

We slowly pulled into the driveway of a two story house. It was gorgeous. I assumed this was Hunter's house. Once we pulled into the garage that had no other cars in it, he ran to my door and opened it.

"Is this your house?" I said in a low voice.

"No... It's Lucifer's, but I rent a room here" he said in a serious tone. I thought that was funny but my head hurt too bad to laugh. 

"Freya!" He said aggressively shaking my shoulder. 

    "What?" I said quite annoyed with his actions.

"Are you deaf???" he said slightly raising his voice. 

I guess I dozed off again.

Next thing I knew his arms are wrapped around me. I wasn't expecting it, so I tensed up quite a bit. I haven't hugged anyone beside Amelia in a long time. Being in the emotional state, I wrapped my arms back around his waist. He smelled amazing. Like trees and mint. I know it sounds weird. Just imagine standing in a breezy forest on a cool day with a wind of mint. Yeah. amazing.

  "I'm so sorry Freya" he whispered into my hair barely loud enough for me to catch.

  "Why did you bring me here? I would've been fine at th-" I tried to pull away, that was hopeless. Instead he held on tighter.

    "I needed to make sure you were okay..."

"You could've asked me? I kind of need to be at school."

    "You're in no condition to be in a classroom Frey" He said still talking into my hair. I could feel his hot breath on the back of my neck and it gave me shivers.  Since when did he use my nickname?

    "Hunter. You don't even know me... well, apparently you do know me" I said confused once again. 

    He finally pulled back quickly and grabbed my shoulders yet again. 

"I can explain, I promise I am not a stalker..." He said as his cheeks blushed up. 

    "Can we do it.... Like, not, in your garage?" I said with a small laugh.

"Let's go"

And there I was. About to walk into the house of a stranger that happens to know about everything I've ever been through.

            What could go wrong.
