“Drive faster” Nichole said after ten minutes of drive. Philip glanced her through the rear mirror “Don´t make me repeat myself” her voice was cold, the man started to pick up the speed as he wondered why he had to put up with the glares of this girl. She´d threaten him once and everybody seemed to be scared of ‘the girl’ even if most didn´t know her. He wondered if he could have done something last time, she was not that big, she was a little above average and she was lean, she probably couldn´t fight a big person, sure he took her to some or other fighting class but it was just a girl, she couldn´t be older than twenty but then, there was the pay check, it was a huge amount for just driving the girl around even if he had to pass a lot of tests before even being able to become her driver.

He glanced at her once again and quickly averted his gaze. She always seemed aware of her surroundings but she also seemed pretty distant and though she´d only talked to him twice he thought she had a very authoritative voice.

As always, Philip left her right on the start of the dirt road, she got out and as always he wondered where she went, of course he knew there was a fancy school up the hill but why would she need that, he was sure that if his pay check was that big hers had to be many times more. As always, she stood there, watching for him to leave, her distant stared on the tinted glass until he left and turned to the road. He was never able to see where she went. He wondered once again about this as he drove away.

As the driver left, Nichole started to walk fast into the woods. They had arrived in half the usual time, on the thick woods, she started to run towards Burgeoys, this was a fits. She´d never rushed back except on the first nights, many years ago because she was scared and felt horrible after letting the monster out but then, though she always felt the weight on her shoulders, she rather stay hugged by the foggy woods than go back but in this dawn someone was waiting for her. A tiny smile spread across her lips and she picked up her pace going faster and jumping over the thick stone wall at once.

She closed the window slowly as she got in her room, she heard Josh´s steady breathing, he was curled on his side, his lips barely parte, the comforter all the way up to his shoulders. Very quietly she took off her hat, coat and boots and went to her bathroom, she washed her hands twice and looked at her reflection on the mirror, cold eyes of a murderer was what she saw and she felt like crying, instead she washed her face and got rid of her shirt and damped her neck with her hands.

She ended up getting rid of all her clothes and taking a quick shower. She went out carefully wrapped on a towel, she went to her closet to get some clothes then she went back to her bathroom and got changed, as she came out rubbing her wet hair with a towel, Josh´s cellphone´s alarm went off. He stirred and furrowed his eyebrows without opening his eyes, he turned it off, this made her smile, a moment later he bolted up, sitting up and looking for the lamp switch on the bedside table. He fumbled with it until it turned on, when it did, he squeezed his eyes shut and then blinked a few times until he saw her, still halfway between the door of the bathroom and her bed, she was still drying her hair with the towel, his eyes went wide open.
