Kate returned his smile, her gaze was still firm but it was not aimed at Hannibal but herself. I’m sorry. I think I’m just on edge. I’ve never had any males in my presents that weren’t “eager” so I guess you are a pretty nice change in scenery- Kate quickly cot herself there -I do not mean that in a “wrong” way.
Kate was far from tired and being on edge meant a bad night of sleep of she got any. The golden clock above the door way chimed; Kate looked up to find out that it was five o’clock in the morning. Kate’s insides were twisting around making her feel bad for making Hannibal sound like the rest of the guys she knew which in fact Kate knew he wasn’t or else he would have long already tried something. Kate waited a few minutes then said in a relaxed tone Would you like to choose the room you stay in?
Kate led the way out of the kitchen back out the hall by the front door, and up a huge set of marble stairs… Kate continued until she was on the third floor. These are all the best rooms to stay in… expect the one. Kate pointed to a door that seemed to be more lively than all the rest.

He smiled a bit and laughed softly. Yeah he didn't catch that one until she said something. Can you say slow moment? He was so focused on making sure he didn't look away that he hadn't even been trying to figure out what she meant. He usually always did that to people, but he didn't just then. This was definitely proving to be an interesting night. He saved her from Jason, she saved him from the butlers and maids and now they are having awkward moments all over. Hannibal's mind was diverted as he looked up to where the sound of the clock came from. "Wow, five already? The time flies when you're having awkward moments." he said with a laugh. He was very light hearted about things and hardly ever was bothered by awkward silence it just felt weird during the silence then he was ok with it.
He looked back over to her nodded. "I guess." he didn't really care right now. He wasn't anywhere near tired. He didn't know what he would do though. This wasn't his house. He could get lost in here. He couldn't just wander over to his TV and play with chance or stay up and finished reading the book he had back at his apartment. His eyes feel to the ground as he walked up the stairs. A habit of his from falling down stairs so many times. He always had to look at them as he walked. "What's wrong with that one?" he asked wonderingly, switching his gaze from the door to back over to her. |

Kate looked at him It’s my room. I’m sure don’t in a girl’s room do you? Kate smiled but reframed from to big of a smile due to the fact that her cheek still stung. Kate noticed that like her Hannibal did not seem tired. We do have a indoor pool if you swim. We also have cable TV in every room.
Kate waited for Hannibal to choose a room to stay in for the night. I can let everyone know that you do not want to be bugged, if you want me to. Kate said.
-sorry its short-

"Hmm maybe I do. I'll sit in a nice girly room and dreams of rainbows and other girly things." Noticeable sarcasm dripped off his words. He didn't want her room. That was her special place and he definitely wasn't going to disturb that. It likes when he was younger, his parent's room was their special place and if he disturbed it he got beat. Now he understood that if he went in her room he wasn't going to be beaten, but those beatings really got the point across and he didn't disturb their room anymore. "Yeah I swim, but not in jeans." he said with a laugh. However, it did look like he's jumped in a pool. His jeans were still wet, they weren't soaked but they were wet and he could have possibly gone swimming.
He picked a room by just simply picking on of the ones that was close to the end of the hall, so he wasn't all the way back in the dark end. "Ehh it doesn't matter. At this rate I might not even sleep... but sure, if you want." Hannibal said with a shrug. That was a totally true statement, but if he did end up sleeping he didn't mind if they need to get in. He slept like a rock, so they won't wake him, unless of course something touches him, then he wakes up. He didn't figure anything would however. When a family chooses maids and servants they are probably pretty trustworthy... Or so he would assume.

Kate laughed with Hannibal but cut it short Yeah I’ll bet you would. Well if you do go swimming just go back down to the first floor and turn right through the living room back into a hallway go right you’ll pass three doorways on the fourth door way you go left and that’s the pools.
Kate turned toward her room, Good night. Kate went into her room the door made noisy metal to medal sound as she opened it; Kate sat down on her bed and waited for about ten to fifteen minutes, then she changed into her swimming suit, a two peace white bikini. Kate slowly opened her door trying as hard as she could no to make noise but the medal to medal sound played it role anyways. Kate quickly pulled the door almost all the way shut to made the noise of her door short. Kate turned around and headed for the stairs slowly going down them trying the make the padding of her feet noiseless.
Once Kate reached the bottom floor she turned and headed for the living/ sitting room as she walked through to an other door Kate turned right down another hall way. After passing three rooms Kate turned left into a huge room with glass walls and a huge indoor pool a water slid and a hot tub. Kate turned on the pool light but left the over light off next kate pushed a red glowing button and turned it a buzzing sound came from the roof, heavy black sheets started covering the glass room the help protect kate from lighting coming through the glass.
Kate walked over to the pools edge and slowly stepped in. Once kate was chest high in the water she kicked off the floor and started swimming toward the 12 foot area. The water was clear with white lights coming from the bottom. Kate swam gracefully and so easily through the water you’d think she was a fish in her past life.

He nodded slightly as he listened to where the pool was. He didn't want to go swimming. He looked so ugly under his clothes. The deep N shaped gash lurked on his chest and so many other scars were very visible. He had bruises on his sides and he was just nasty to look at, so he didn't want to go swimming, but he wasn't tired either. He walked into the bedroom as she walked into hers and looked around. It was huge in here. He found window and backed off as lightning filled the area outside with a bright flash of light that glowed blue for a minute. He walked away from the window, not about to stand there. He looked around finding the TV and the bed. He sat on the bed and found the remote turning on the TV.
He flipped through the channels, not finding anything interesting. He found that VH1 had music videos, but they always had them on this early in the morning. He left it on as a music video for FMLYHM by Seether came on. He sang along quietly as he looked around the room some more. He found a book shelf, but there were no books on it that seemed appealing to his taste of literature. He found a huge closet that just amazed him. Being as tall as he was, he fit in there easily without have to duck or anything like that. He walked back out and turned the TV off. He walked back to where the bed was and found a pair of swim trunks. He looked around, amazed. 'These guys are pretty good.' he thought with a small smile as he traded his jeans for the swim trunks and looked in the body length mirror on the back of the door as he debated taking his shirt off. He pulled off his jacket and then his long sleeved shirt to see him just in his tank top and trunks. His arms had a few nice purple bruises on them, but it was better then having his shirt off. He removed the tank top for a minute and seen all the bruises that covered his body.
There was one across his waist that was a burn. Another on his body was a yellow bruise that had been there for a while. A few more were just random purple ones scattered over his body. He had a few cuts on his sides and one that cut deeply into his chest. It was in the shape of a crude letter N and he brushed his fingers across it, his mind racing as he thought of that night. He pulled the shirt back down and followed her directions down to the pool. He didn't know if he would swim or not... but he got down there to see the pool room was lit up pretty well and there was someone swimming at the bottom of the deep end. He watched the figure for a second and sat on the edge where the stairs were. He looked at his bruised arms for a second before looking around. |

Kate did not hear anyone come into the pool room so she kept swimming gracefully through the water, lifting her arms over her body bring them down above her head driving them through the water. Suddenly Kate flipped backwards into the water diving clear to the bottom swimming along the bottom. Kate remained under water for a good three minutes, then slowly she rose to the top of the water.
Feeling someone watching her Kate turned around in the water. Kate jumped a little when her eyes met Hannibal Jesus Hannibal trying give me a heart attack. Kate slowly made her way over the edge of the pool holding onto the side to give her legs a rest.
-sorry its short I have to go-

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. I was debating whether to swim or not." he said, running his hands uneasily over his bare arms as he looked down to the water and away from Kate. He never felt very good about the way he looked... it wasn't that he thought he was fat or ugly; it was just the bruises that lurked under his clothes that bothered him. He was always bothered by them, ever since... well since they first started showing on him. He was pretty young when his father had started to beat him, only 8 years old. It was horrible, and he never stopped no matter how much he begged for him to stop.
Wow lol that sucked. sorry |

-lol its okay I’ll make up for it…-
Kate giggled a little I did not think you were going to come down at all. Most people that stay were are scared to come out of their room because they think they going to get lost. Kate turned facing the pool wall that held onto reading herself. With one simple and graceful movement Kate’s well build muscular arms flexed pulling her out of the water and up onto the pool side. Kate’s lean body sat next to Hannibal, her golden skin glowed as the pool lights shined up on them. Roars of thunder still sounded hard but it sounded like the storm was moving away finally, that or they were in the eye of the storm.
Although Kate’s Bikini was white it was thick enough to remain a very steady white instead of going see through. Kate would have never taken that chance. Her long black hair ran down to the lower part of her back, and her eyes with their golden brown tint watched Hannibal as the two sat there. It was quiet expect for the water waving against the pool walls, then all of the sudden Kate’s innocent smile became a wide mysterious grin, pushing the pain from her face out of her mind Kate held it for a good minute. Don’t debate on unimportant things it’s a waste of time. Kate said grabbing Hannibal’s hand as she threw herself into the water pulling Hannibal along with her. As soon as both her and Hannibal hit the water Kate let go of his hand.

"Ehh, I'm not too bad with getting directions correct. I took the wrong turn once, but back tracking isn't all the difficult." he said with a small smile as he thought of getting lost in this house. It didn't seem like it would be all that difficult. The place was huge, and a wrong turn or two could easily land someone in an unfamiliar hallway. It would definitely be a task to have to learn where the rooms in a house were. He shrugged that thought off then as another rumble of the thunder was heard. It was strong still, just proving that it was not over.
Hannibal's brown eyes watched as the waves in the pool crashed against the walls. He could see all the way to the deepest end of the pool with how clear the water was. He loved swimming, and when he was little it was hard for his parents to even get him out of a bath tub. You know, playing with the little snorkel set that almost every child has at one point in their lives. Then moving onto a face mask that he could swim with and then just jumping in without goggles and being able to see the under water area without needing anything. Now he was a little more hesitant to go swimming but he'd still come down here. He looked over to see her smirking and looked at her with kind of a confused look for a brief second as she spoke. It took him a second longer to realize what she meant but that was when she grabbed his hand and threw herself in.
He was sort of pulled along with her and it was like watching a swan that was extremely uncoordinated. He just kind of fell in, but when he was under the water; instead of staying head first he did a flip in the water and turned himself around. His long brown hair floated around his head in all directions and his pale skin took in the color of the walls of the pool, giving him quite the abnormal glow. He laughed under the laughed, bubbles escaping his mouth as he swam up to the surface and popped his head out. He laughed again and took in a breath of air. His smoothed his hair back and mopped his hands over his features to let a smile cross over them. "Thanks. I probably would have never come in." he said with a laugh as he floated on the water for a minute.
--phew much better =] |

Kate waited to laugh once she surfaced; lying on her back Kate floated circling around him so easily she made it look as easy as walking on solid ground. You’re welcome Kate smiled swinging her right hand out hitting the water hard enough to splash water getting them both. Before Hannibal could splash her back Kate flipped under the water like a dolphin.
-oh really bad reply here-

He watched as she swam around him in wide open circles. She looked very relaxed in the water, as if she felt safer in it, as opposed to feeling safer on solid ground like most other people. Hannibal liked the water but he understood its power. He'd learned to swim very quickly, as he'd been thrown into a lake, and knew of the power it could hold on someone if they panicked. He treaded the water calmly and laughed as she stretched her arms out and hit the water. It rained over his figure and a laughed escaped his vocals and she dove into the water. Hannibal took in a nice even breath and followed her down, mainly using his legs to catch up to her. He swam away then, and over to the side where he could wait until she surfaced. |

-this will be interesting for you to reply-
Kate smiled looking back to see him catching up to her but with little effort Kate jumped ahead very quickly. After seeing him resurface kate started swimming toward him surfacing about two feet in front of him. Kate smiled swimming to about a foot in front of him waving her arms back and forth to keep her above water. Kate reached toward Hannibal resting her hand on the side of his face then spoke softly with a small smile Do you know how beautiful you are? Kate knew he’d think she had lost her mind after just telling him that she was on edge not even an hour ago.
Suddenly a loud echo of the phone ringing ran through the house kate jumped a little with surprise, no body not even in an emergency called the phone at six something in the morning. This small fact worried kate a little.
After four or five rings someone answered the phone from inside the living room. Everything went quiet for a minute or two then the sound of something hard hitting the marble floor made kate what to go a see.
Kate moved her hand form Hannibal’s face grabbing the pool’s edge pulling her lean body out of the water. I’m going to see what is going on. kate stood up and walked toward the door grabbing a towel wrapping it around her hips then just before she went through the door kate stopped and said You can come if you want then she continued down the hall way.
After passing three doorways kate turned into the living room to met the shattered face of Annie sitting in the tan chair next to the table were the phone use to be. Kate looked down to see the black phone lying on the floor. Annie? Kate said walking up and touching her shoulder, in a daze Annie looked up toward kate but said nothing.
ANNIE!? kate yelled snapping Annie out of her daze.
Oh god. Kate Annie said shakely.
Annie what happened? Kate asked worry was wrote all over her face.
Y…y…your parents- Annie said in choked sobs.
My parents what! Kate said grabbing Annie’s shoulders.
T…they w…were killed… Annie choked out.
Kate let go of Annie’s shoulders and stepped back running into something. As hard as Kate tried she could not hold her stand, her legs felt like jello and gave away. Kate fell to her knees holding her breath. The clicks of Annie’s short heeled house shoes told Kate that she left the room. Kate started to feel dizzy and just when her face started to turn blue she felt someone’s hands on her back and the muttered something but kate was in a off daze. Kate let out a choked breath as her sobs jerked at her lungs.
With one simple move moment kate turned without looking at who it was kate threw herself onto them wrapping her arms around them burying her face in the crest below the neck and before their shoulder let her sobs take over.
Kate’s world was falling apart first her crazy ex-boyfriend tried to put her in I.C.U. when less than eight hours later at six in the morning she finds out that her parents were killed somewhere in Europe.

Hannibal smiled as she came up to the surface of the water once more. He floated up next to the wall and was quiet for a moment as she swam toward him, so they were only a little less then a foot apart. His deep brown eyes watched her carefully she reached out toward him, and set a gentle hand on his pale facial features. Her vocals sounded soft and a small smile showed itself on her lips. "H-how beautiful I am?" Hannibal repeated her words in great wonder, then mopped his hands over his wet skin and blinked a few times to make sure he wasn't just imagining that... but alas he wasn't and she had just said that.
Suddenly the phone rung and both of them jumped. It took Hannibal's mind off the strange situation and he looked up toward the direction he'd heard the phone ring. Five times it rang, and finally someone answered. It was very quiet for a long minute as the two of them stayed still and didn't say anything to one another, just watched carefully. Finally, as it had seemed like forever, Kate removed her hand from his features and said she was going to see what happened. Hannibal nodded slightly and followed her out. He pulled himself up onto the pool's edge and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around his torso.
Hannibal had stayed back a bit as Kate walked over to the woman. He didn't know what she had heard on the other line but the woman's features had gone ghost white and Kate looked just as troubled as she heard what the woman had to say. He'd been trailing behind making sure not to get lost but not trying to seem nosy by following her closely. When he got into the room she was on her knees and looked in a daze. His hands rested on her back in a very gentle gesture as he spoke. "Kate? Are you alright?"
Before he could say anything else, she turned around and held onto him tightly. He was almost hesitant to hold her in his arms, but she didn't let go. In fact she held tightly and buried her face in his chest as sobs racked her small but lean frame. She cried, very hard and loudly into him and held on tight, seeming as if she was trying to suffocate him. He gently wrapped his arms around her and brushed his hands over her back in a calming and very gentle gesture. He knew not what it was like to lose both parents in such a harsh way and timing, but he knew at least the pain of someone lost who was close to you. The murder of his mother had sent him to therapy, for one he'd watched it happen and for two she was the only person in the world he'd trusted. He only knew part of Kate's pain, and didn't say anything but let her cry. Crying was the best thing someone could do to let the initial shock set in... He kept moving his hand across her skin to ease her tense muscles as the tears poured from her eyes and heavy gasps left her lungs. |

Kate held onto him tightly. Kate did not even know who she was holding until she loosened her grip round his shoulders. It was Hannibal, god he must think she was way out of her mind, but the way his hands tried to comfort her and the way they felt on her back smooth her gasping lungs.
After a few minutes of holding onto Hannibal, Kate let go of Hannibal wiping away her tears then taking a deep breath claming herself down. I’m sorry… Kate sighted very shaky You probably did not like that. Kate suddenly felt very tired and some what sick to her stomach.
Kate’s heart raced wildly.
-sorry its short-
