Jade nodded, wipping her eyes.

"Right..you work on that while I go fall into a deep sleep." Jade smiled, standing up. She put her dishes in the sink for tommrow and then walked towards the hallway. She turned back to Vincent for a moment, a small grin on her face. "Good Night Robot Man."

Later that night

Jade laid on her bed, tossing and turning in her slumber. She let out a series of terrified cries as sweat poured from her body. Her body suddenly laid rather stiff, arms to her sides, legs slightly spread as if she was straped that way.

"Please...no...Im a good dog. Get away! Somebody Help me!" Jade exclaimed, panting. "Vincey.....dont hurt him...please."

Vincent heard Jade’s cries and awoke with a start. Leaping out of bed he almost lost his balance before dashing for Jade’s room. Reaching the door he opened it and saw Jade lying stiff, crying out. She was having a nightmare, which after what she’d been through was not that surprising.

He was surprised when he heard his name. Moving to her side he shook her gently saying, “Jade, wake up! It’s just a dream. I’m right here.” He hated seeing the normally happy and bouncy Jade like this, and just wanted her to wake up.

Jade's eyes shot open, body lying stiff. She suddenly started shaking all over, tears streaming down her face. She wrapped her arms aroun Vincent Gently in a hug, laying her head on his shoulder.

"Vincey....thank you...you saved me." The Husky woman manged to get out, tail drooping between her legs.

It was easy to say that the dream had her fased a bit. She was scared as she wasnt afraid to show it.

Vincent hugged Jade to him, wanting her to feel safe. “It’s alright now Jade. It was just a dream. You’re awake now, nothing’s going to hurt you.” He could feel her shaking in his arms, and held her a little tighter, letting her know that he wasn’t going anywhere.

At that moment he hated Fusion Corp more than ever for what they had done to her, and would do everything he could to stop them hurting her again.

Jade shaking lessened lightly and she looked up at him with wide eyes.

"Vincey..they where hurting you. I tried to stop them but they strapped me down and then Fusionist came out and he was doing all kinds of horrible things to me and then he was gonna kill you. Im scared..what if he finds me. I dont want him to pick up where he left off!" Jade exclaimed

“Hush, it’s alright,” Vincent soothed, still hugging Jade, “He wont, I promise. This island is completely secret, only Linda knows where we are. But just as a precaution I’ll start working on upgrading to defences first thing tomorrow ok?”

Holding Jade’s shoulders he broke the hug so he could look her in the eyes. “I promise you that I will do whatever I can to ensure that Fusionist never interferes with your life again. You have my word.” He meant it. all other projects would be put on hold while he prepared the island to repel any and all attackers. Whatever it took to keep Jade safe.

Jade nodded, tail wagging slightly. She was realived by Vincents bode of confidence but she didnt know if it was going to be enough. Fusionist had his ways, he had found her the first time she had escaped, what made him think he couldnt find her this time.

"Alright...." She looked at him apologetically. "Im sorry I woke you up, you proably have alot of work to do tommrow. I didnt want to distrub you."

Vincent smiled warmly at Jade and hugged her again. “It’s ok. As far as I’m concerned you’re well being takes top priority. Now are you going to be ok or do you want me to stay a bit longer, because I don’t mind.”

He didn’t want to leave her until she felt comfortable and safe again. In his head he had already started thinking of how he could make a sensor grid to surround the island and let them know if anyone was coming. Fusionist would not get her again so long as he had any say about it.

Jade looked at him with wide eyes. Her bottom lip trembling, she looked like a dog that was begging.

"Do you think you could stay here Untill I get ot sleep?" She asked slowly, bottom lip trembling still. She looked up at him with terror filled eyes. "I dont want to be alone...Im afraid Fusionist might come back."

Despite everything Jade had been through she still had an underlyign fear of the man that had experimented on her.

“Of course I’ll stay.” Gently he lay her back down on the bed and pulled the covers over her, tucking her in. pulling over the chair from the corner he sat down next to the bed and took Jade’s hand in his.

“I’m going to be right here ok.” He gave he hand a reassuring squeeze. She seemed so scared, and if half of what Linda had told him was true he couldn’t blame her. But she was away from him now, and Vincent wanted to help her enjoy life again.

Jade nodded slowly, squeezing his hand softly. She closed her eyes sleepilly. She then fell asleep about twenty minutes later after occasional whimper and a plee.

She slept, rather soundly one might add, holding onto vincents hand as if it was a life line. In a way it was Jade's life line to the world of the living, to reality, instead of the horrific land of nightmares her minds created.

Vincent watched Jade sleep, keeping hold of her hand. While she slept he began running all that Linda had told him about Fusionist through his mind. He wanted to make sure that the bastard wouldn’t get to Jade again.

Somewhere in his thoughts sleep began to creep in, and around ten minutes after Jade feel asleep Vincent’s head lolled forward onto his chest and he was sound asleep, his hand still keeping hold of Jade’s.

Jade woke up the next morning, hand still clenched tightly in Vincents. She smiled softly as he slept, tail wagging back and forth slowly.

She broked her hands death grip on his hand and pushed him lightly so he would fall on the bed. She smiled, hugging him, nuzzling her head into his cheek.

The Husky woman then went into the kitchen and made breakfast, putting his on a plate with a note attached which said.

'thank you for being my hero last Night.'

Vincent awoke slowly and sat up in the chair. Rubbing his eyes he looked around for Jade but couldn’t see her. Getting up he headed to the kitchen. On the table he found a plate of breakfast with a note attached. Taking a seat he picked up the note.

Blushing as he read it he allowed himself a small smile before digging into his breakfast. As soon as he finished it he’d head down into the lab and work on the sensor grid he thought of last night. The secretary robot (and the damned toasters) would have to wait.

Jade smiled as she saw that he had eaten his breakfast, she then went back into her room to work with some chemicals. She almost got the perfect lavander berry blast scent for this soap but she couldnt quite put her finger on it. She did various more experiments, ubernnost to Jade, one of her bottles was leaking and Vincents lab was right under her room.

The lavander Fluid manged to leak all the way underneath the flooring and accidently hit the circut boards of one of Vincents robots.
