[Sulfurix and Gilmore] Ranch loss

[Sulfurlix]

"Alright...I won't," he said gently, letting one hand rub gentle circles on her back to help calm her down. As he went into her room, he calmly went to her bed and leaned down to lay her onto the mattress. "You're going to be safe, okay?" He said gently.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi let him set her down.She looked around quickly. She sat up and put her hair behind her ear.Vixi nods to him."I know I don't know why I am freaking out.you can go if you want."She said. Vixi how ever didn't want him to leave her side.Vixi bit at her nails she looked around. Her breathing back to normal.

[Sulfurlix]

His eyes scanned her over for a moment, kneeling down by her bed side. "Look, I understand more than you think, it's okay to panic," he said gently, giving her a sincere look in his eyes. Harrison stayed by her side for a few moments. "I'm going to jump in the shower, then I'm going to come right back here." He glanced around her room for a moment. "Alright?" He asked, looking back to her to insure she was going to be okay when he would go wash what dirt and sweat was on him off.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi nods to him"okay."She says she bit her lip. She nods to him to go. Vixi sat on the bed, she looked at the window and closed her eye's. Vixi hid her head in her knees. She was breathing heavily. She heard a creak in the hall way.Vixi breathed deeply, its nothing. She heard it again and got up running foe her bathroom. She locked the door and sunk down in the tub.Vixi hid waiting on Harrison. She closed her eye's, she was hoping he come back soon.

He got up and left the room and quickly went down the hall. Harrison pulled off his shirt halfway there, and dropped it in his laundry basket along with the rest of his things before he went to the bathroom. He turned on the water and hopped in.


Once done, he slid out and dried off, yanking on a. fresh pair of boxers and a pair of gym shorts. Shaking water from his head, Harrison hurried back to her room, frowning when he didn't see her on her bed.


"Vixi?" He called gently, "you in the bathroom?" He asked, walking over to gently knock on the door with his knuckles.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi jumped at the sound of knocking. She shook and nods."y...yes."She got up and sniffed. She went and unlocked the door. She saw Harrison and threw her arms around his neck. She wiped her eye's and pulled her self closer to him.Vixi hid into his chest her heart was racing a mile a minute. She clung to him and tryed nit to be scared.


"I am sorry. I am so sorry. "She said. Vixi was freaked out to no end even her pain in her chest wasn't keeping her from clinging to Harrison like silk cloth hung to a woman's body.Vixi was trying not to cry aa she breathed into his. Chest, she just had a bad feeling something might happen. Her gut was almost always right.

[Sulfurlix]

One foot went backwards to catch himself as she threw her arms around him, catching her and holding her close to him. "Hey...shh, it's okay now," he uttered gently to her, rubbing her back again in a comforting manner. When her apologies hit his ears, he frowned. why was she saying sorry?


"No, it's not your fault," he assured, letting his arms hold her right, but not too tight. "You should get some sleep," he said gently, hooking his arms around her waist to help lead her over to her bed again.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

She got on her bed and looked up at him.Vixi sighed and ran a hand through her hair.She felt she knew she was acting crazy or felt like she was acting crazy. Vixi bit her nails and looked at her window.


Vixi looked at him. "Your not leaving me are you?"She asks him.Vixi didn't want him to go to his room. Not with out her,she really didn't want to be alone tonight. Not after Tom stopped by.

[Sulfurlix]

Once she was on her bed, he gave her a gentle smile. "I'll stay here," He assured her with a nod of his head, glancing to the floor. "I can crash down on the floor if you want," he said, glancing to the light, to her window, and then to her. He wouldn't leave if she didn't want him to, but he also wouldn't lay in her bed without permission. That was a no no.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi looked at her window then at him."please don't go.no not the floor. "Vixi says. "My bed is definitely big enough with it being a queen,"she said. Panic almost rose in her voice.Vixi looked at him with big eye's. She was serious about it all. She wanted to apologize again but he might give her a weird look. Vixi climbed under her covers slowly. She breathed in and sighed, it felt nice to lay down.


Irish Ice Queen

 

[Sulfurlix]

He gave her a small nod before going over to the window to tug on it to make sure it was shut and locked. Harrison pulled the curtains over it in hopes of helping to ease her nerves. "I'll shut the light out," he told her as he went to the light switch by the door, so she wouldn't think he was about to bail on her.


Once he flicked the light off, he navigated back to the bed, "you okay?" He asked gently as he got on the opposite side of the bed so he wouldn't lay on her. Hesitantly he allowed himself to lay down, looking over to where she was with a worrisome look.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi watched him go to the door. She almost squeaks. She didn't want him to go. When he got in bed next to her. She turned and curled into him.Vixi clung to his chest. She breathed in shakily and nods. She leaned her head on his chest. She wrapped an arm around his torso and clung to him tightly. She couldn't speak at the moment. She was still scared to sleep. Her eye's closed. "I will be please don't leave when I am asleep. "She said

[Sulfurlix]

He let his eyes trail down to where her head was now on his chest, her curling onto his side. Harrison lifted his arm and slid it around her in a protective manner, "I'm not going anywhere," he whispered to her gently, "I promise." He used his free hand to grab the edge of the blanket and pull it up over them both, but just to her shoulders. He then leaned his head back into the pillow, shutting his eyes, but not falling asleep yet.


He wanted to make sure she could sleep before he would. His mind started to run a mile a second, thoughts rushing through his head as he laid there with his arm around her and her chest on his rising and falling chest as he drew in calming breaths.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi fell asleep in his arms.She breathed normally. She fell fast asleep and just sleeps with him.


......


The next morning she woke, wrapped around him. She didn't pull herself off him. Vixi sighed and went to sit up slowly. She put her hair behind her ear and got up. She was sore, but could walk normally again vixi went to shower and dress. She shrugged off the feeling she was being watched. Vixi turned and sighed. She dressed and stepped out of her bathroom. She looked at Harrison and let him sleep. She went down to grab coffee and go put Diablo away. She stepped in his pen.He looked at her and snorted. She walked over and pet him."Good boy, come on boy been a long night. "She said and walked him to his normal pen. She fed him and got him water.

[Sulfurlix]

After Vixi's breathing settled down, he had allowed himself to slip into a light sleep. Harrison fell into a deeper sleep as the night drew on. Even when morning rolled up, he stayed asleep with an arm curled around her, other arm resting against his stomach. His hair somehow managed to get out of control, sticking up all over the place.


As she slowly pulled away from him, Harrison let a small noise of complaint brush past his lips, turning onto his side but not waking up. This guy could sleep all day if not weaken up or if he didn't have an alarm clock set, which of course he didn't right now. He stayed out as she got up and went around doing her morning routine. It was normal to sleep through any noise for him, with a younger sister and a mom who came home and left in the early and late hours.


It was only when the house had fallen completely silent did he wake up, eyes opening to see Vixi gone. Right. Early riser. Throwing his legs over the side of the bed, Harry lifted a hand and rubbed at his face, shoving his hands through his hair and accidentally spiking it up. He took a small breath and pushed himself up, walking out of her room and going to his, changing into jeans and a faded grey shirt, tugging on his boots as he went down the hall and towards the stairs.


Going out the front door, after checking the kitchen for Vixi (and just finding the remains of coffee being made), he snagged his guitar up off the porch and put it into its case, then placed it onto the porch. Thank god it didn't rain last night.


He started heading into the direction of the stables first to check and see if she was there, or to get a start on taking care of all the horses.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi had fed the horses, and watered them. She was turning the horses out and mucking the stalls. She was leaning on the stall as the fawn. Followed her about as she cleaned. It made noises at her. She laughed. "Hold on buddy I will feed you when I am done."She says. She hears footsteps and jumped. She turned and pokes her head out. "Oh hey sleeping beauty. I am almost done here. Take buck and feed him please or he will keep making that noise. "She said laughing. She put her tool down and went over hugging Harrison.vixi kissed his cheek and smiles.

[Sulfurlix]

He rose a brow when he came in the stabbles to see the fawn following Vixi about as she mucked the stalls. That was a rather amusing sight. Looking up to Vixi when she spoke, he let a small smile pull at his features, "I could sleep for a year if you let me," he joked.


His smile grew a bit when she came over and wrapped her arms around him, returnting the favor and letting his own arms slip around her with a light squeeze. One eye closed to the lips pressing against his cheek, soon turning his head to look at her, still smiling. "Did you sleep well?" he asked, knowing how spooked she was last night, and wanting to make sure she was okay.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi nods "slept fine, thanks to my knight in shining armor."She says and winks at him. Vixi sighed and pulled away, she was still in pain.She shook it off and went back to cleaning stalls.She sighed and finished up with the last stall as Harrison went to feed the fawn. She heard boots in the gravel outside. She peaked out the barn doors seeing Tom and Bill looking around.


Vixi started to hyperventilating and backed away from the barn door.she ran down the aisle to the back where Harrison was. She slid up to the stall door and caught herself on the door."um we have a situation here."She says and looked toward the front of the barn. She bit her lip."come on out the back."She said. She snuck out the back just as the front if the barn opened. She leaned on the wall breathing. Why were they here, she breathed and snuck to peak around the barn she watched them go into the barn.

[Sulfurlix]

He smiled at her, "good." After she pulled away, he reluctantly let her go, and went off to make the formula for the fawn. He went and started to feed the young fawn, kneeling down so he could gently pet its side as it drank. Buck wasn't even halfway done when Vixi came over, Harrison looking up and giving her a worried look.


He stood and quickly followed after her, leaving the bottle on the edge of the stall wall and shutting the stall door as he jogged after her just before Tom and Bill came into the barn. Harrison followed her around the side of the barn and to the front. "Oh hell," he grumbled. A scowl took over his features. "Call the cops," he pulled out his phone and placed it into her hand before walking past her without another word to go into the barn from the front. "What are you two doing here?" He snapped rather cruelly, his eyes turning cold as he glared at the men. Bill's face was still pretty busted from Harrison's go at it.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Tom and Bill turn to him."ahh stable boy where is the whench of the house done screwing her already. Trust me she will screw you over worse. Just point us in her direction and will forget and forgive what you did to my son over here. Come on she isn't worth protecting. You hand her over you can go home to that family in the city. Your a city boy that is all you will be. She is a country bumpkin which is our area of expertise. "Tim says smiling.


Vixi listened as she dialed the sheriff's number. "Sheriff the Hinckley family is on my farm and threatening us. I need you down here quick."She said. "On our way miss vixi."he says

[Sulfurlix]

His body went ridged as Tom spoke, eyes narrowing on his dangerously. "I don't want you to forget what I did to that pathetic son of yours." Harrison snarled, taking a few threatening steps forward, muscles tensing up, especially after he dared to mention his family. "You don't talk about her like that, understand me? She's a country gem, while you're the country pigs." He pointed at them with a look of indifference on his features.


"You either turn and get off this property or I'll make you both leave." Harrison had taken on larger football player than these guys. He was intimidated by them, even if he knew two against one he'd get the blunt of it, he'd pull through. He'd fight if he had to, or if they pushed his buttons.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Tom nods and nudged his son."Tell Vixi will be back for her and to watch her back no where is safe including her house. Also she may want to check on her father. "Tom said. He smirked and walked out of the barn Vixi stood frozen on the wall watching them.Tom smirked in her direction and walked over to her. Vixi stepped back and leaned on the barn."see you around darlin remember your not safe so don't try hiding you and that stable boy will pay."He says. The sheriff pulled up at this point. "Tom back away from the girl haven't you done enough to this family."he said pointing his gun at Tom. Tim smiles at vixi and backs off."Just leaving officer, and your right. "He winked at vixi to tell her the worst was to come."sorry miss vixi will escort them off the property. She nods and clears her throat. "TH..Thank you. "She said.

[Sulfurlix]

His hardened facial features didn't falter when he spoke, but an almost feral look sunk into his eyes. He let them walk past him, and walked after. He knew better than to turn his back to men like these two. He'd tear them apart if they laid another finger on her.


He trailed after Tom when he took a turn for Vixi, about to jerk him away before the sheriff arrived. "Watch your back," he snarled to Tom under his breath as the man walked past him so no one but Tom would hear it. Harrison quickly went over to Vixi, the cruel look still on his face, but of course not directed towards her. "Lets go check on your father," he said in a flat tone, but some look of...worry flashed briefly in his eyes.


If Bill or Tom did anything to that poor sickly man, he'd have a bone to pick with them (not that he didn't already). He shot a glare over his shoulder to where the two men were retreating with the sheriff.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Vixi let out a breath and nods. She goes for the house and runs upstairs. She ran to her father's room."Dad?"She asked. She peaked in the dark room.She went to turn on the light, she walked over and pulled the sheet back.She screamed. "Dad no."She turned and ran to his bathroom. She puked in the sink, partially from the smell, partially from how gruesome the sight of her father's body was. She washed out her mouth and sunk to the floor in tears. She shook,and dug her nails into her head. She rocked her body and shook her head."no no no.I am going to kill them."She said shaking with anger.

[Sulfurlix]

He jogged after her when she headed for the house. Once there, Harrison waited at the bottom of the steps for the a-okay from Vixi. He was hoping it was just an empty threat and they just wanted to intimidate them.


His stomach flipped and his heart sunk to her scream, legs flying up the stairs and to where the open door was. "Vixi!" He called as he skirted into the room. He was instantly hit with the smell that was lurking in the room, gagging himself before fleeing into the bathroom where he heard the sobbing. Rushing in, he prsctically collapsed on his knees next to her, arms going forward and wrapping her up into his arms. He didn't say a word, he just held her.
