Jaffa runs as fast as his legs let him through the gumtree forest. He also makes sure that his radar is on so he can hear Felicia's thoughts. So far, nothing. He can't seem to find the house that Sarah spoke about. Immense worry and anxiety for Felicia makes Jaffa's heart beat faster - way too fast for his liking. Normally when a Corban's heart beats extremely fast, a signal is transmitted to the nearest Corban's hospital and at times if the heart is beating 'out of control', the signal can also be sent to hundreds of hospitals as well as the person's family.

Jaffa's phone starts ringing, his hand shivers while he takes the phone out of his pocket.

"Hi," Jaffa says so quietly.

"Dear, is everything okay on earth? About 10 Corban hospitals picked up your heart rate as well as your father and I," Jaffa's mother speaks with severe concern.

"How did my-my signal reach reach-" Jaffa is lost for words.

"Calm down son, please!"

Jaffa immediately responds to his mother's plead and breathes in and out - calming his body down.

"That's better son! So tell me what happened?"

"Nothing - it has nothing to-to do with me, but it has something to do with with-"

"With what Jaffa? What's going on?"

Jaffa takes another deep breath in and breathes out relaxing his body a further more.

"Mum, I can't speak right now!" Jaffa hangs up.

He again starts running, the night is caving in and he needs - no he has to get to Felicia.

Finally, after an hour of running he sees an old vintage house - thanks to the moonlight.

"Felicia!" Jaffa shouts, while banging on the door. "Felicia, Felicia, Felicia!"

At that moment, Felicia becomes alert. She hears a familiar voice, but she can't remember who it belongs to. The coldness that Felicia has causes her voice to go numb, so she stands up and slowly walks to the door.

"I'm-I'm," Felicia couldn't even whisper properly.

Jaffa knew, as he is reading her thoughts. He suddenly sees the lock on the door and the key near the old mat. His hands are still shivering, but he grabs the key.

Felicia has no strength to open the door, but Jaffa has.

The door flies open and Felicia stands there looking at Jaffa, while her mouth forms an oval shape.

"Felicia," Jaffa says sweetly to her. He throws his jacket to her and Felicia slowly puts it on.

"J-J-James?"

"Yes, that's my name."

"How did you find me?"

"I, well, I," Jaffa doesn't know what to say.

"Well?" Questions Felicia, gaining her normal voice again.

"I saw the bunch of girls come back and you weren't there, so I went looking," Jaffa reluctantly says.

"But, you don't know me. How could you even notice I wasn't there?"

Jaffa suddenly frowns, he doesn't like her questioning him. He saved her, so the proper thing she should've done was say 'thank you'.

"I'm sorry," Felicia says, while Jaffa looks at her face full of tears. "I-I should be thankful."

The frown on Jaffa's lips vanishes and all he does within that moment is watch each tear fall from Felicia's eyes.

It's very late and dark. There is no time to make it back to the hostel before it closes.

"I guess we will be staying here tonight, as it's now nearly 9pm," Jaffa suddenly says while Felicia wipes her face.

"But-But don't you have a phone?"

"I do-"

"So, can't you just call someone to get us?"

"Well, I could but my cell phone's battery is 10% full."

"Oh," Felicia says with a long sigh.

"This house is so cold though. We won't be able to sleep."

"We can."

"How?"

"Body warmth," Jaffa simply says. On Corba, people would always hug up together to keep each other warm in the winter time. Even strangers would do it, so it was quite natural for Jaffa.

"But, that would mean our bodies would be close together!" Felicia says stupidly.

"So, does it matter? Or would you rather be cold?"

"Mmmm, ok body warmth then."

Jaffa walks over to Felicia and sits down beside her. Warmth is already running of Jaffa's skin. Corban's body temperatures are higher than humans. When Corbans are hugging together the result is pure luxury - just like a pleasant fireplace.

Felicia doesn't know what to do. She has never been this close to a boy, especially a uniquely handsome boy like this one.

Jaffa smirks, as he read her cute little thought about him.

"Well, come here," Jaffa says while putting his arm around Felicia's cold body.

Her head rests on Jaffa's chest. She suddenly hears his fast beating heart.

With every beat, she counts, Felicia falls silently to sleep and so does Jaffa.
