 Atticus wasn't sure what it was about Melinda that first caught his attention, that didn't scream food, and most of all that made him want to protect. Regardless of not knowing what it was, he slowly found himself feeling things for her that he wasn't sure were good. Especially considering his situation. Laying back, he hit his head against the headboard, ignoring the clink of chains as he did so. Bringing up his hand, he rubbed his new burn mark on his chest. Sure, his shirt did cover it, but that didn't mean it didn't itch and sting like a mother. |

 Melinda's mood was, well, a little off. Her mentor and aunt had taken off mid-lesson and now the other elders were treating her like their own little whipping girl. Still she guessed that taking food to Atticus like she always did wouldn't be too bad. "Hey," she said as the guard opened the door and closed it behind her. |

Looking up, Atticus's eyes widened and he jerked up, pressing himself against the wall behind his bed. "Meh...Melinda?" he said trying to breath normally and stay in control of himself. This was not good. Not good at all. Or maybe it was too good? Why was it bad again?

"Well yes that would be my name," Melinda said as she sat down on the slab that they called his bed and placed the tray of food on the table. "Now don't sound excited to see me or anything." Her voice was full of sarcasm and the oblivious girl was too busy with whatever it was that she was thinking about to notice Atticus's obvious uncomfortableness. |

Tipping his head in an odd angle, he watched her put his tray of food on his slide out table. How could she be so calm about this?! THIS?! "Are you insane?" he asked calmly, at least compared to how he felt. "Do you have any idea what tonight is?" he demanded with a complete look of dumb blankness. How could no one tell the woman who was feeding him that tonight was the one night all werewolves mated?!

Melinda's automatic response was to flinch at what he said. "No," she said softly, feeling as though she was a little kid being scolded. "Why is it something important?" |

Whimpering at her response of flinching, he lowered his head and did his best not to grab her to him right then and there. "Sorry, but tonight is important. It's the night all werewolves take mates or have sex with their mates. I'm part werewolf, so this is difficult for me, having you in here and you...not being mine," he did his best to explain, but just whimpered again at the pain that filled his midsection. This was harder than he remembered it.

She'd been looking at her hands during this entire time but when he finished she looked at him. Melinda's eyes were clouded in confusion. What did he mean? "What do you mean?" she asked almost feeling hurt. "Do you want me to leave?" |

Watching her, unsure of her motive for coming into his room during this night. Atticus was proven right in thinking she knew nothing of the full moon, but her last question practically tore him apart inside. Pain exploded like his collar was suddenly attacking. "No!" he practically cried out, but then looked down as if he'd just been hit. To him, it pretty much was like she'd just slapped him across the face. "I don't want you to, but it would probably be better if you left. Though somehow I doubt the guard would give you that," he whimpered out, head bowed. "What I'm doing is trying to keep you from making a mistake, a big one. Coming in here during this time almost dooms you to being stuck with me. That is, after all, what mating is," he explained as best he could, not even trying to look up for fear of his chains actually attacking him. Like they'd done the first time the guards sent in a man to try to feed him. [/quote]
