Willow gave Mordy a soft smile when he sat down next to her.
'That was sweet of you to do, though i could have helped you if you wanted.'
Looking at the fire with a small smile on her lips, Willow started to think about her life and how much better it's gotten since 'that' day.

"I don't want you to have to work. It's nothing anyway." Mordecai said, watching the fire. He smiled. He looked then at Willow, and realised almost immediately that she was thinking about something. Her eyes were glazed, as though she wasn't really paying attention, and her relaxed posture also hinted at this.
"What's on your mind?"

Willow shrugged slightly before she spoke softly.
'Nothing really...just somewhat surprised i turned out like i did instead of being cold, shallow, hate every person trying to get close to me and be the kind of person everyone's afraid of...though i guess i can thank my grandmother and Jade for that. They were there when i needed them most.'
Her smile faded as she pulled her knees closer to herself with her knee resting ontop of them.

Mordecai hesitated for a moment, then put his arm around her shoulders reassuringly.
"What happened? If you don't mind me asking. Talking helps." He said, looking at Willow in a semi-worried way.

Willow towards Mordy, her head resting on his shoulder as she took a deep breath before talking.
'When i was younger my parents used to come home drunk. They would beat me every time. Then one day they turned each other, i happened to be in a corner when my father killed my mom. Right after that he shot himself.'
After a shaky breath she continued.
'My grandmother took my in, i was at an all time low when i met Jade. Together her and my grandmother brought me back.They showed me that there was still hope.'

Mordecai's free hand shook with anger. If her parents weren't already dead he would have left to hunt them down and kill them then. He despised people like that, who would beat their children for absolutely no reason, but for the fact that they couldn't direct their anger anywhere else. He calmed himself.
"There's always hope for strong people, like you. You just have to keep going, things will always get better, so long as you strive for it." He said, not really knowing what to say.
"My story isn't much better." He added, feeling it only fair he tell her about himself, after she told him something so personal.

Willow placed her left hand on his chest as she looked up at him.
'Go ahead, i'm here to listen.'
Her eyes softened as her form relaxed. She looked up at him as the crackling fire glow reflected off of them.(like how you can see the light of the fire on a person...not sure how to explain it)

Mordecai looked Willow in the eyes, and sighed.
"When I was younger, one of my father's old enemies found out where we lived, and found out our family name and tree. He killed every single member of my family, and would have killed me too, had I not managed to escape. Every single member of my family, even my distant relatives.... Since then, I've thought I couldn't love, because it wasn't safe for the one with whom I would affiliate myself..." He trailed off, still looking into Willows eyes.
But, what about now?

Willow could see what he was talking about...but then again what if all he really needed was someone to help him be rid of his past so he could on with his life easier. Leaning a little closer she cupped his right cheek with her left hand.
'I can see why you kept yourself from love. But what if all you needed was another's help?'
She wasn't really sure what she meant except that sometimes another's help was really what a person needed.

Mordecai continued looking into Willow's eyes.
"I don't know.... I've never been offered help..." He said, quietly, cupping his right hand on her left cheek, and also moving somewhat closer.
What are you doing? She's going to get hurt, you know it.
I'll protect her.
What about you? If you get hurt, it'll hurt her as well.
I''ll protect us.
So you say. You aren't god, you won't always win.
I have reason to fight, now. That's all I need.
But... But.... I give up.

Willow locked gazes with Mordy.
'Well than i guess i'm lucky to be the first to offer you help.'
Her smile returned as she wondered where and what kind of twist fate would lead them to now.

Mordecai smiled, leaning even closer, Their faces were nearly touching.
Their lips did.
In the grass around them, several men were nearing, dressed in black, with weapons drawn. They stopped. They knew that if they drew any closer, he would hear them, but they weren't sure how then to attack.

Willow was shocked for a second before she relaxed into his kiss.
She felt safe around him, safer than she usually felt. Yet, something kept telling her she was in danger at the current. Even though she did want to she broke the kiss to look him in his eyes before speaking so only he heard.
'Mordy...does it feel like we're being watched to you?'

Mordecai was still for a moment, before he stood, and held up one hand. A sudden gust of wind flattened the grass around them, revealing the assailants.
His face darkened, as he drew the claymore. They all immediately stood, coming at him with weapons raised. He killed them all rapidly, his face staying exactly the same, saying nothing.
"That's why I shouldn't love. It's not safe.... I can't risk you getting hurt." He said, sheathing the blade and turning to leave.

Willow swiftly moved so she was in front of Mordy, he eyes blazinb with a inner fire.
'Mordy...just because i may not look it. I can put up a pretty damn good fight and i'll be damned if i'll let some freaking assassians get close enough to hurt me. Besides, so what...remember Jade? She'll be able to tell if i every get hurt, that's how we are, she always healed my wounds and with how willful she is, she'd never let me die. So you see, you don't have to worry about me.'
Her eyes softened as she looked up.
