It was actually a good thing that the Cullen boy had led Jacob around yesterday when he first arrived in this dream world. Otherwise the poor boy would have probably ended up in someone dorm other than his in a desperate attempt to find the right one. They all looked so similar but for the numbers posted near the doors. The only problem was, Once he had left his dorm this morning to explore a bit of the alien landscape and abundant amount of things to do, he had neglected to really get a good look at what the dorm looked like so that he may recognize it again. Also, remembering his number would have been helpful. That was careless of him and a bit too airheaded for his taste.

Unfortunately for him, once Jacob thought he had figured out an aspect of this world, their captor went and changed it on him. If he was a little unstable in the head it would have been maddening, but really, he just found it funny. There was no rhyme or reason to this place which was ridiculous and hilarious at the same time. Ah well, at least he would never be board.

Passing by one of the odd shaped dorms, Jacob slowed and passed the front doors very slowly, hoping to recognize something, anything that may give him a poke of recollection. Something caught his quickly and startlingly as he felt and heard a loud thump coming from one of the walls of the dorm nearest to him. The vibrations led him to believe that something heavy had just been thrust against the interior wall.

When he neared to investigate, another unidentified object was thrust against the wall followed by a voice; a female voice. Was she in distress? Jacob put his hand against the wall to feel for another thump but instead he heard the female voice more distinctive, as if they were directly on the other side. The voice called out and yes, there was definitely distress in that tone.

"Hey, hello, are you okay in there?" Jacob went to the front door and knocked. "Is everything okay? Do you need some help?"

River smiled at Jacob's thoughts. She liked Jacob and was more than thankful for everything he had done for her. She wanted to let him in. She wanted so badly to scream everything out to him. But she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried she could never say anything about what happened. Not even to Simon.

Her mind suddenly went a little sad until she felt his surprise at her hugging him. She began to pull back a little, realizing how different she had shifted around him. Before she was still on edge, both from worry over being lost from Simon and as to who this Jacob was. Now that she was calmer and able to read him more she could easily see that he was no threat to her.

His thoughts of embracing her caught her off guard. She had never heard them from anyone but Simon. unconciously she tilted her head a bit to the side, and fought the urge to question why he suddenly became so red in the face. Hearing him think of not moving until she did suddenly made her rather shy and blush. Confused by her own sudden reaction, she looked away until the words coming out of his mouth interrupted her thoughts.

She smiled at first glad that he liked her dancing but suddenly went a bit sad when he asked if she was a dancer. "No I'm not." she looked down and shook her head. She wished she was. She wished she could go back and change it so she never went to the Academy and instead pursued dance.

She looked back up at him when she felt a hand move from her waist. She didn't flinch away like she did before; instead, she smiled at his touch, feeling the warmth that was hidden deep inside. Though River wanted to know what it was that made him different she forced herself to forget about it momentairly; and instead buried her face in his shoulder, suddenly not wanting him to leave her alone again.
