Hud was adjusting the settings on the camera while Rob and Lily talked silently from across the room.

He couldn't hear what they were saying but it looked as if they were talking finding a way out.

The room was small and fairly cold, but after what they just went through, it was just fine with him.

Finally Hud looked up, unable to stand the silence between himself and the others. He looked over at Marlena.

She was holding a towel to her bleeding shoulder, wincing in pain as she did so. Hud cringed slightly just thinking about it. "Hey Marlena?" he said.

Marlena looked up at him "Yeah Hud?" she asked quietly. "I'm sorry about what happened. That you got bitten." he said.

Marlena simply shook her head and looked back down at her arm "It's ok, you really don't need to apologize. But thank you Hud." she replied.

"It's no problem." Hud told her, setting the camera on the vacant chair beside him. He looked around the dim litted room.

"I'm sorry about how I acted at the party tonight." Marlena said suddenly.

"It's alright, I was being sort of annoying." Hud admitted. "No, you were just trying to make that thing for Rob and...well i'm just sorry." Marlena replied.

"Don't worry about it." he said. For about five minutes both of them stayed silent.

"Hey, what if...what if we dont get out of this alive...?" Marlena asked. Hud looked up at her, unsure of how to respond.

"We're going to get out of here alive." he said in a soft voice. "I know but if we don't...well nevermind." she added

Wondering what she meant, Hud decided not to push her for answers. Instead he focused on Rob and Lily. They were both sitting on the couch speaking quietly to one another.

Finally Hud had to ask "Are you scared?"

Without saying a word, Marlena nodded, looking at her arm. It looked as if it was bleeding alot less, but it still just had to hurt.

"I'm...yeah." Marlena spoke at last, looking down at the table. "You shouldn't be, we're getting out of here, ok?" Hud insisted.

Marlena nodded once again and looked up, smiling at him. Hud felt his heart beat increase and couldn't help but smile back.

"No, it shouldn't take that long." Rob said softly from across the room, still speaking to Lily. Both Hud and Marlena looked up.

"Ok, good." Lily responded. Hud could only wonder what they were talking about.

He picked up his camera and took one final glance at Marlena.

A/N: Not very good, I know. But I absolutely loved Hud and Marlena and really wished they'd have gotten together.
