"Still don't trust me, huh?  That's fine, " said Elijah as he slipped the bottle back in his waistband.  He took a quick sip of his own bottle and tied it back on his belt as well.  "I understand that you must be extremely unnerved right now with this situation."<br/><br/>Elijah took her proffered hand and suddenly jerked her into him, wrapping his other arm around her pinning her arm to her side to hold her tight.<br/><br/>"Is this what you were worried about?"  Elijah seemed to pause in thought, "I firmly believe the more you believe something in your head, the more you work to make it true.  I have had opportunity after opportunity to do something like this since you saved my life.  I didn't even so much as get too close to you, but still you found me untrustworthy.  So maybe I should be...untrustworthy, that is."
