Penny hesitantly sat down on the bed and pulled the covers over her. She watched as Christian closed the curtains. Her heart jumped in her chest at the thought of Christian staying the night and she felt comforted that she could sleep in peace without any disturbace. She was positive he wasn't going to let anything through. Why would he when he risked everything to make sure she lived? "Are you going to stay up all night? Do reapers even need to sleep? That sofa turns into a bed." Penny would be damned if she let anyone that stayed with her sleep on a couch or stay up all night.

She felt nervous when Christian said he'd stay while she hunted those vampires. She really did want him there. Penny was usually pretty shy. She enjoyed talking to friends, but it took her a while to approach random people. She knew reaching out to these hunters would be difficult for her, especially if they were a bunch of rowdy adults that liked to kill things. Having a steady presence there would definitely help her confidence. Not that she needed him to give her confidence... she just liked having him nearby. Penny worried for her growing dependency on this man. She hadn't been depended on anyone for years now. She was a grown woman and did things for herself, by herself. 

[i]Yeah, and you see where that got you? You became vampire dinner.[/i] Penny's thoughts interrupted her peace and she frowned. Okay, maybe she was nervous to see these vampires again, but once they were dead, she and Christian would part ways. They'd probably never see each other again. Penny just hoped that when it was her time to actually die, Christian would be the one to reap her soul again. "I do want you to. It would bring me some peace and quell my worries if someone I knew was there." Penny turned off the room light and laid her head down on her pillow. The darkness felt heavy at first, but after hearing some rustling from where Christian last stood, Penny relaxed. "These other hunters, are they difficult to get along with?" Penny hinted at what she was most worried about when it came to reaching out to these hunters.
