Derek groaned, he now actually felt guilty for saying that, he was only trying to assert that he was going to look after himself. However, the girls voice and desperation towards his hand was really stirring him up. He cursed his human heart to a thousand hells for the sort of soft hearted nonsense he was going to show here.<br/><br/>Derek then said "Of course im not going to leave you alone silly girl, hmmmph, i have to stay here all night you know? Its part of my bet, so im not going to be leaving you alone at all. Jeez, we should really think about getting warm, its freezing like hell on ice in here, and no those sounds are NOT GHOSTS, so stop that shivering, most likely its the wind and the fact that this house is so old that even ancestors had tea here.." Derek then dragged her along with him to the side of the living room. He put the sounds in a far corner of his mind, he firmly believed that the sounds could be a number things, but ghosts were certainly not one of them.
