Dagger rolls over and puts his arms around her. Of course now that was habit now. Lina and Kimmy were asleep as well, both liking the feel of the fire. Then an unfamiliar woke Lina. She looks around to see nothing at all, her eyes adjusting to the dim light.<span style="font-style: italic"> What is that noise? </span>She thinks as she looks around. But of course since it didnâ€™t sound threatening, she wasnâ€™t really concerned, she just wanted to find out what was making it.<span style="font-style: italic"> Where is it coming from?</span>She thinks as she gets up to go out of the cave to look. Then she stops and looks down to see Stella wrapped in Daggerâ€™s arms. As she was going to leave, she stops again and looks at them as she heard the noise again.<span style="font-style: italic"> Is the vampireâ€¦purring?!</span>She thinks as she tries not to laugh. Then she gently wakes Stella up without trying to wake Dagger. She let her wake up fully. â€œDoes he do that all the time?â€ She asks referring to the purring thing. And then when Stella nods and explains when it happens, Lina tries not to laugh. â€œYouâ€™d swear he was a big tom cat,â€ she says with a small laugh and then covers her mouth quickly and looks at Dagger. But of course he was dead asleep. For once he actually got a peaceful nightâ€™s sleep.<br/><br/>The next day soon arrived. Lina looks at Kimmy, â€œKimmy...leaveâ€¦Daggerâ€¦.â€ was all she could get out before Kimmy jumped on Daggerâ€™s stomach. Of course Dagger sits up quickly and then blinks and sees what woke him up. He just sat there looking at Kimmy. Lina cringes thinking that Dagger would yell at her. â€œBig Brother! Big Brother! Get up! Itâ€™s time to get up!â€ Kimmy says as she jumps up and down on his mid section and then kisses his forehead. She then gets up and goes back to her mother. The look on Daggerâ€™s face was priceless; it was if he didnâ€™t know how to react to what just happened. Lina begins laugh, she just couldnâ€™t help it. Dagger looks at her, â€œWhat the hell is so funny?â€ He snaps. â€œYou know what to do when an evil enemy is upon us, but you donâ€™t know what to do when a little girl calls you Big Brother and then kisses your forehead.â€ She says with another laugh. Dagger rolls his eyes, â€œShe just took me by surprise is all.â€ He says as he gets up and stretches. Lina laughs again. â€œNow what the hell is so funny?â€ he asks. â€œMeowâ€¦â€ Lina says teasing him. She couldnâ€™t help it. She just thought it was funny.<br/><br/>Dagger lets that sink in for a few moments and then realized what she meant. â€œOh, ha, ha ha!â€ he says. He turns to Stella, who as he could see was trying not to laugh as well. â€œLet me guess she evidently heard me?â€ he asks. When Stella nods he just rolls his eyes and goes out of the cave. â€œYou think we embarrassed him?â€ Lina asks Stella. Of course they didnâ€™t, he just didnâ€™t like being made fun off. Then he pokes his head into the cave. â€œWell? Are you cominâ€™ or what?â€ he asks. â€œI want to get this done and over with ya know.â€ He adds and then disappears again. Lina looks a Stella, â€œWe better get going before he leaves us.â€ She says. They soon begin to hike again, heading toward the base of the mountain.
