Scar let herself into the empty lounge. She wore no shoes on her purple bruised feet, they were too sore from Dakota's clumsy movements. Under her arm was tucked a laptop, she decided to look for dogs that were for sale near the academy. She didn't like using her laptop, she disliked most electronic devices. And to be honest, they didn't like her much either. She hobbled painfully toward the sofa, dumping herself into it. She gave a sigh of relief as the pressure left her feet. She pulled her legs up onto the sofa, stretching out leisurely along the furniture. She had no need to squish up into the corner, there wasn't anyone else around. She placed the laptop onto her chest, turned it on and waited for it to load.

First she typed in English Setters, the dog she had met in the reserve belonging to Lee, the young barn hand. She had been taken with Owain, the pretty canine had a beautiful nature. The smiling face of a Red dotted female, Scar couldn't help but chuckle at the pup's expression. She studied her screen and finally found the bookmark and then she typed in Jack Russell's. Scar had grown up with Jack Russell's, they had been her mothers favorite breed. The inquisitive face of a male caught her eye, his small frame would be easy for her to carry around the academy. Another bookmark. Then, she typed in a breed without even really thinking about it. Two images immediately caught her eye. Twin Basset hounds, a male and female. Ooh! They are so cute! she already knew they were the two she was going to get. She placed down her laptop and began to hobble around searching for a pen. She had to write down the number to call later.

Jack was currently getting ready in his room, the one he shared with Wes, who was no doubt somewhere away from humanity with his horses and rat. The only living thing present with him was Gemma, his dingo mix. The dog gave him a smile as he pulled up his jeans... Then darted forward on his bed, grabbed his shirt and bounced over to the door, using her paws to cleverly open it, then raced down the hallway.

"GEMMA!" Jack called, then ran out after her, into the Lounge, shirtless, shoeless, and his hair messed up. He dived onto the floor to wrestle with the dog, who growled at him playfully, refusing to surrender the shirt. "Gimme that, I need that! What use do you have of a shirt?!" He asked her, pretending to be angry as she wagged her tail, thumping his back as they were tangled together rather well.

Scar was still searching for a pen, her face crumpled with frustration and her feet screaming abuse at her. She had searched the whole room about three times now, and still no luck. You'd think there would be a pen somewhere in here. she muttered to herself. She dropped onto her knees to search under the desk, and beamed. Ah ha! she shouted, crawling under the desk to retrieve the pen. Just as she was about crawl back out from under the desk, someone flew into the room shouting. She jumped in surprise, thumping her head against the desk violently. BUGGER! she exclaimed, finally leaving the space under the desk. She stood up, clutching her throbbing head.

Her features changed when she realized who it was. Jack was wrestling with a dog who was hanging on for dear life to what seemed to be a shirt. She stifled a giggle, which hurt her head. She always seemed to hurt herself when Jack was around. First it was her hand, now her head. What next? Hey Jack. she said quietly. Need any help? she glanced at the floor while she asked, she was extremely aware that he was half naked. Before he answered, she made her way to her laptop. She needed to scrawl down the number before she forgot. The pen glided easily over the pale skin on the top side of her hand, obscuring some of her freckles as she did so.

Jack froze when Scarlett asked him if he was in need of help, a light blush covering his cheeks as he felt his heart speed up slightly. He stood and rubbed his hand on the back of his neck shyly. "Hey Scar... How's it going? Ah, no I don't think you could help much, Gemma has a hold like a vice..."

Suddenly, the dog trotted to Scar and dropped the shirt at the redhead's bruised feet, her tail wagging happily, eyes alight with her thrill of the mischievous deed. "Nevermind then." the Australian sighed. "Scar, meet Gemma, Gemma, meet Scar." He gave Scar one of his smiles that had the girls back home swooning. "So, whatcha up to?" he asked, oblivious to the fact that she'd hurt her head. "And how's your hand doin'?" Australian vocals flowed from his tongue as he sat down to watch her, stunned by how beautiful she was right now. She took his breath away, something that had never happened to him before.

She looked down when she felt the cold, damp, material slap against her feet. She chuckled at the expression on the canine's face, her eyes still on the dog when Jack introduced her to his canine. It's lovely to meet you, Gemma. she cooed, scratching behind the canines ears. Scar then picked up the discarded shirt, catching Jack's smile in the corner of her oracles. Her own smile was softer, more refined. She rarely gave a different smile, she hadn't been able to since her father started to.. "use" her. The girl had seemed to retreat into her shell. I'm looking for a dog, but I think I may be buying two. she told him, picking up her laptop to show him the pictures of the two Basset hounds she would be buying this evening. Now that she had the number, she didn't need the laptop anymore. And she couldn't be more happy to turn it off.

At his second question, she bit back a smile. Still a little tender, but I've been in the wars again. As you can see, my feet are a little.. Little wasn't the word, Well, a lot, bruised. she told him and then continued. And just banged my head on the desk retrieving a pen, and sorry to inform you, that it was your fault. Her vocals held no resentment toward him, she was chuckling slightly as she said it. She dropped herself back onto the sofa, her legs drawn up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. Her chin placed on her knees and she felt confident enough to keep her gaze on Jack. But, she could also feel his eyes on her, making her squirm slightly.

Jack chuckled to himself as she was kind to Gemma, who was happy to lick the girl's hand gently. The smile she gave stole his breath and he could barely keep from saying 'take good care of my heart.' How cheesy was it for him to fall in love like this with a girl that was way past his standard?

He watched with interest as she handed him the laptop, his eyes softening at the sight of the two droopy-lidded dogs staring up at him. "They're sweet." He told her, handing the computer back before slipping in his shirt.

Then, his smile became sheepish. "Sorry about that. Are you okay?" Jack was instantly concerned. Then, noticing her discomfort, he shifted his gaze to Gemma. The dog yipped, then jumped onto the chair he'd sat down on. Or, rather, jumped on him. "Oof!" he yelped. "Gemma!"

She nodded at his statement on the pups, they really were. She looked up just in time to catch her company pulling his shirt back of his head, and a look of disappointment spread over her features. Her eyes then widened, she hadn't known that would happen. She realized she had been growing to like Jack, and hadn't even noticed. She couldn't help but grin at his sheepish smile. I'm fine, may have a huge lump, but i'll survive. she chuckled at him, and then it turned to a laugh when Gemma leaped up into his lap. She let her frame relax, then stood gently. Her light feet carried her toward Jack's chair, planting herself on the arm of it. Her confidence was growing in his company, her more flirtatious side beginning to show. Her hand first went to pet Gemma's orange colored cranium, and then her hand placed on Jack's arms. Her eyes found his, the soft smile pulling at her lips once more. This time it shone in her eyes, making her features light up. How's Wes? she asked about Jack's brother, Mason. It was just conversational, her eyes and posture still held an air that showed she had other intentions. But, would he pick up on them?

Jack shifted uncomfortablely under the dingo, who ate up the attention given to her by Scar. She cocked her head so that Scar's scratching was at a more comfortable place behind her left ear and murred happily, her tail thumping against Jack's legs.

Jack gave her an easy grin, liking the way this converstation was going. His eyes twinkled, and he replied with, "Wes is doing fine. Hanging out with a friend I think."

The Australian liked the way her hands felt. Smooth, soft, yet firm from handling her horses. He decided to shift their talk. "So, I've met you mule, and you've met Barrier and Sky. Any other horses? I know that Appy belonged to you, but I'm afraid I didn't catch his name..." He drifted off, finishing his sentance in his head. Because I was too busy falling for you, love.

Jack knew he sounded like a love stricken teenager. That's because he was. Did he care if others thought his feelings were lame? No. He liked Scar. He could tell from the way his heartrate increased from the sight of her, and even if she was displaying flirty behaviour, could he be sure she felt the same?

Her face shows she was genuinely pleased for Wes. I'm glad he's made a friend. She didn't doubt for a second that it would be the boy they had met on the trail. Jackson? She shook her head, and directed her attention back to Jack, catching his question and smiled as he let it hang unfinished in the air. Mhmm, you met Dakota. Coming to my rescue when he hurt my hand. she smiled at him, her fingers trailing slowly up and down his arm as she spoke. The appy is named Mimic, and his twin sister is in White Oak, her names Desire, along with my Akhal-Teke, Paddy. she was suddenly aware that she had enough horses to make her own herd. This thought made her chuckle slightly. She kept her eyes on him, seeing that he seemed to be having an inner debate. It was written over his beautiful features. She couldn't resist, her fingers traveled up to his face, trailing down his jaw and around his lips. Her smile turned more reserved, her features becoming more serious. She was definately falling for him, and had already made a move. What if he didn't like her back. Her hand withdrew, she stood up from the arm of the chair and crossed her arms over her chest. She rolled her weight every couple of seconds so not to hurt her feet too much. Her gaze was now directed at the floor, not the more attractive company she held.

The boy felt his heart race at every move she made, thrilling his young body by just her mere touch. Was she a magician, able to make him feel this so much? Most likely. He didn't care though, he was under her spell.

So, as soon as her gentle fingers brushed his lips, he felt exhileration rush through his body. He watched her in awe as she stood and shyly looked down. Jack shifted under Gemma, gently pushing her off of his toned frame and took a few strides to Scar.

He raised his hand to her chin and tilted it up. A coy smile entranced his features, and then he leaned down to gently touch his lips to her's. He loved the rush it immediately sent through his soul, and he hoped this wasn't too forward, something that would chase her off. For now, he could live in the moment.

She heard his footsteps begin to carry him toward her, she felt his hand slip under her chin, forcing her to look up at his face. Her breath was stolen from her at his smile, then he began to lean down toward her. She froze as his lips pressed to hers, then she melted into his frame. Her arms went up to wrap around his neck, her lips moving parallel to his. The pain in her feet was forgotten, she was now on her tip toes to reach him, a movement that would be awfully painful if she wasn't currently involved in this situation. They seemed to stay there forever, but sadly, she needed to breath. Her lips pulled reluctantly from his, her chest heaving as she sucked in much needed oxygen. Once she had regained her breath, she was ready to speak.

I'm so glad you did that. she murmured, reaching up to plant kisses along his neck and up to his jaw. Her hand found his, threading her fingers between his. Her delicate fingers, her mother called them pianist's fingers, fit perfectly between his larger, more rough hands. Her frame tucked in closer to him, her head placed against his chest. So very glad. she repeated, her free hand trailing down his chest gently.

Jack felt her push against his mouth in a parallel dance of chemistry, and relief flooded him, as he realized that she like him as much as he felt for her. It seemed to make this moment even more amazing, and his chest swelled with adoration.

When she moved away slightly for air, he took some breaths of his own, gazing down at her softly with wonder. Then her green gaze startled his own and she stood up on her tiptoes to trail little butterfly kisses up his neck and to his jaw, bringing a smile to his face, a gentle, almost shy smile.

When she restored her normal height and captured his hand with her own, long, delicate, sensitive fingers, he wrapped an warm around her back to pull her closer, leaniung down to kiss the top of her head. "Me too Scar."

At their feet, Gemma wagged her tail, thumping the ground softly.

She couldn't help but smile when he pulled her closer, her face burying into his chest. He made her feel safe, The place she could run to when she was upset, angry or even just excited. His words made her smile increase, as did the thump of Gemma's tail against the carpeted floor. His lips against her head made her melt into his frame again, but something was niggling at her mind. She hadn't been this close to anyone in a while. And she certainly hadn't felt this way before, but what was making her uncomfortable. Deep down, she knew exactly what it was, it was the fact her father had started abusing her two years before he died. Her frame became stiff in Jack's arms, her barriers being thrown up again. What if he had seen it in her, what if he was just trying to take advantage of her. She pulled her hand from his grasp, slipping from his arms. Her face held an expression of fear mixed with a tone of anger. Her eyes held a pained hint, her arms crossing protectively over her chest. She took a couple more steps away from him, the back of her right leg catching the corner of the table. She winced, but now all she cared about was the fact that Jack may be using her. She knew somewhere in her mind that she was being stupid, but she couldn't be sure. Many boys had done it before, she had trusted them and they broke her heart after they "got some". She knew that Jack wasn't like that, but she feared that she had already given too much to turn back. She knew she had fallen for him, and was now preparing herself for her heart to be ripped from her chest again. But, this time it would be more painful.

She turned to move to the corner of the room, dropping herself down and caging herself with her arms. Her eyes were cast down at her knees, the beginning of tears forming in her eyes. Why father? Why did you have to do this to me? Why did you have to make me seem so easy? Why does everyone keep taking advantage of me? she shouted in her mind at her father. As she did so, she could almost hear the sick laughter of her deceased parent. Her tears increased, she bowed her head further in shame. She knew for a fact that Jack's eyes would be on her now, baffled by her behavior. She also guessed that he would probably never look at her again, avoid her around the academy, turn the other way if he saw her. She was so stupid, why couldn't she have just stuck with him? Not run away. Again she cursed her dead father, the tears now turning into gentle sobs.

Jack sighed as she seemed to nuzzle into him, as though she was trying to bury her smaller frame into his taller one. This was right. She seemed like she belonged in his arms, engulfed in his embrace. He never wanted to move from this spot in time.

But, Lady Fate was not on his side. Jack felt Scar stiffen and rip away from his, tearing his heart violently from his chest in a single jerk that left his breath stolen. His brown eyes watched her in a confused manner as she backed away, his arms left dangling foolishly in the air.

He took a step toward her, wondering what he'd done wrong and stopped at the sound of her quiet sobs, feeling intrusive. He watched her helplessly, unsure of what to do, what not to do. Should he move, should he stay where he was?

Gemma solved her owner's problems, as she sometimes tended to do. The female walked to Scar, her ears back, whining softly. She nudged under Scar's arm, her tail wagging in a hopeful way. Jack took the presence of his dog as a comfort and took a few steps forward. "Scar? Did I move too fast? I can slow down if that's more comfortable. If you're not ready for a relationship, I can wait for you." He knelt down, his eyes soft, apologetic.

The soft noise Gemma's pads made as she trotted toward Scar was comforting, un-caging herself to place her arm over Gemma's neck, looking gratefully at the canine. Soon after Gemma's approach was Jacks. Scar shrunk back slightly, but didn't push him away. So- sorry Jack. It's not you. Her vocals were broken, but she responded to his gentle tones. It's, uh, well.. Her words hung lamely in the air, she wasn't sure whether to tell him or not. She had never told anyone, not even her mother. She chewed nervously on the corner of her thumb nail, her orbs cast to Gemma as she thought over what to say. She closed her eyes in a blink, and then sighed. It's not that you went to fast Jack, and it's not that I don't want a relationship with you. I really do, I have liked you since you came to my rescue in the barn. she smiled softly, almost sadly. It's the fact that i've been hurt before. Not just by other guys, but the one man i'm supposed to trust my life with. The person who's supposed to protect me, not rip my heart out. Her expression turned angry as she spoke again. My father had abused me two years before he died. Now I feel as if people can tell, and they take advantage of me. Her eyes studied the floor, her tears now dried up but her lip quivered. I don't want to be hurt again. Her vocals shook as she spoke once more. She kept her eyes on the floor, not wanting to see his reaction. She felt dirty all of a sudden, like she wasn't worth his attention. She had to physically stop herself from scratching at her arms, to try and pull away her skin as if it would make things better.
