Taylor narrowed her eyes suspiciously but didn't say anything. Looking around the room she slowly noticed something moving behind Jerome. "What is th-" Then she slowly looked up and noticed the black cat ears. Eyes wide she kinda backed away from him. "What are you?"

His left ear twitched involentarily and he closed his eyes with a sigh. "I am a Sphinx. I am much like a human, only with some cat like features." He said calmly. The last thing he wanted to do was scare her, or at least scare her more.

Taylor didn't think Jerome was going to hurt her or anything. He had plenty of chances if he had wanted to do that. That thought didn't make her any less wary of him though. Mustering as much calm as she could and still her voice shook Taylor said quietly, "Where is the ship? And when do I get to see my parents?"

Jerome looked down, sadness crossing his face and his ears drooped. "I was-" Suddenly a knock came to the door. He was on his feet in seconds. He shot her a warning glance to be quiet and went to the door opening it only a crack. "Yes." "Jerome where the hell have you been?!" Some one yelled. "I sorry father, I was just..." "Your flying priviliges are hense forth taken away and you are to be put on 24 hour guard." His father said. Jerome's tail froze in place and his whole body tightened. Foot steps could be heard going down the hall and Jerome closed the door. He turned to Taylor a mix of emotions present in his face. "I'm sorry..." He said to her. "I shouldn't have brought you here. I was being so selfish. I was going to take you back when you asked but now..." His voice trailed off and his fists clentched.

"But now what?" Taylor asked, feeling a range of emotions herself. Fear because she didn't know where she was or what creatures whe was with. Confusion as to why she was still here and safe. Anger towards Jerome for not being able to take her back now. Not to mention she was running a fever and on the edge of becoming sick. And most of all excitement. This definitely put a twist on her vacation.

"Now that I'm on 24 hour guard there is no way for me to take you back." Jerome answered. "And because I am being watch you can't leave this room. If they were to find out that I brought you back with me they would most likely put me to death. I'm sorry..." His voice trailed off again and sadness ran over him. His ears drooped. He couldn't believe how stupid he had been, and even more he couldn't believe how much danger he was now putting Taylor in. If he were to get caught with her he would be put to death, big deal, if they found her there was not telling what they would do.

Taylor looked at him and was struck by how sad Jerome was. She wanted to be mad at him, but a part of her was insanely curious. She was apparently stuck here for who knows how long though. He had taken her away to God knows where and she was stuck in this room. "So what now?" She asked, a hint of anger in her voice. "I just stay in this room?"

"Look it's not me I'm worryed about. I don't care if they kill me, but if they find you there is no tell what they would do to you." Jerome started looking her straight in the eye. "They could end up sending you home, they could end up killing you as well, or... or they could experiment on you... It's your choice whether you want to stay in this room. But I suggest you do. It shouldn't be to long before I get my ship back, and once I do I will take you home." He finished. He stood up and turned away from her.

Taylor just glared at his back. How could he do this to her? Regardless of what he had done he was trying to protect her now, and turning away from him she rolled over and layed on the bed. She didn't feel good. She was sore all over and to top it off she was pretty sure she was running a fever. Curling up in his blanket, she didn't say anything but just stared at the far wall. Before anything she needed to feel better.

After a long moment of standing there, his back turned to her, he turned around. "How are you feeling? Can I get you anything?" He asked his voice soft and filled with guilt. He had made up his mind while he stood there that he would try to convience his father to give back his privleges by any means possible, then he would take her home where she belonged.

"I'm fine..." Taylor mumbled back even thought she wasn't fine at all.

Jerome looked at her for a long moment then sat back down in the corner keeping his distance. He didn't want to intrude on her personal space anymore than he already had. "When you do need something, don't be afraid to ask." He said.

Taylor just shifted but didn't reply. The whole thing still had a surreal feeling to it all.

He watched her for what seemed like hours. He was some how entranced by her, and didn't want to leave. He thought that was the biggest reason why he had been so selfish. He wished she did not appeal to him at all, so that he could have either left her to drowned at sea or took her to shore. But that was not the case, so he sighed and waited for the moment when she would talk.

Taylor didn't sleep. She just stared off at the wall thoughts spinning through her head. The part of her that was mad and hurt didn't want to be nice to Jerome. But the other part of was just curious. Curious about what he was and who he was. Finally her curiousity over came her and she broke the silence. "So are you just going to stare at me?" She asked without turning to face him.
