William/Dean/Jack/& Yuki:

Sam noticed an injured demon staggering out of the building. “Today's your lucky day, Yuki. Watch this," Sam said as he quickly charged up and fired his own flame gun and hits the demon square in the chest.

Jack smiled and watched Sam, "Nice, so you can do it too?"

“Yeah I can, but I tend not to use it that often,” Sam said to Jack. “Out of me, my uncle, and my dad, my dad's attack is the strongest.”

"Is yours second the strongest?"Yuki asked still staring at the building.

“Sam, yours is stronger than Dean's, but not by that much.” Will said to Sam. “Then again I might be wrong.”

“I am stronger than my uncle, I just didn't fire it at full power.” Sam said to both his dad and Yuki.

Yuki glanced at Will. "I see."

“If my sister was here, she could clear this up quickly.” Will said as he looked off into the distance. “I just wish I could see her one last time.”

"Wish granted, Big brother!" Raven said dropping down from a ladder of a near by building.

“Its good to see you, sis.” Will said walking over to his sister and hugging her. “How is everyone?”

“Aunt Raven, how long have you been there,” Sam asked looking a bit confused.

Jack blinked, "Where did you come from, I didn't you her earlier." He said slightly confused.

"I've been in the underworld...I know how to not be noticed." Raven replied to Jack still hugging Will and Sam. "I actually got here recently, It seems a lot of gates have opened."

"A lot, how many are alot?" Jack asked curiously.

“Yeah, we just got done fighting some demons.” Will said letting go of Raven. “I had to pull out the flame gun on them.”

“Yeah about that, my flame gun is stronger than uncle Dean's right, aunt Raven?” Sam asked Raven.

"I couldn't give you a number, I noticed... It's hard to say, Sam.... How long have you three been here?" Raven asked as she looked around.

“Hard to say sis. The last thing I remember was facing Dean and getting pulled into a white vortex, then waking up here.” Will said to Raven.

“I came at mom's request and found dad and uncle Dean fighting.” Sam said to his aunt.

"I see." Raven replied.

"Any other family going to pop up?" Yuki asked now looking around as if someone was going to jump out.

“No Yuki, I think Raven is the last one, right sis?“ Will said glancing at Raven. “Sis, what is Dean up to so we can put a stop to it.”

"He has teamed up with a woman named Fern.... They want to take on the government!" Raven said shaking her head.

“That sounds like something he would do.” Will sighed and looks at Jack, Yuki, Sam, and Raven. “Jack, Yuki I know we have just met and sis I also know how you feel about fighting, but I think we should join the human government and help them against Dean.”

“Dad, I'm with you no matter what happens.” Sam said to his dad.

"Help the human government? Well I suppose, I mean I can't have some child growing up without their mom or dad if I can't help it." Jack said thinking.

"I'm in too." Yuki declared looking them each in the eyes for the first time.

"Sigh, Well I agree children shouldn't grow up with out their parents."Raven said.

“Alright then it's settled, now just to figure out which way to go.” Will said looking around.

"Left" Yuki said just as Raven said "Right."

“Maybe we should wait for a government official to come by.” Sam said laughing a little at Raven and Yuki.

"Well I'd go the same way as Yuki, but Sam may have a point." Jack said with a smile.

*Bang bang* A voice came over the speaker post. "~Attention! Everyone move to the west or south side of town. I repeat, everyone move to the south or west side of town!~"

“Guys I think that's our cue to help.” Will said as he shifted to his fox form. “Yuki, Jack need a ride?”

Sam also shifted to his fox form and knelt down so his aunt could get on. “Come on aunt Raven hop on.” Sam said to Raven.

Raven quickly hopped on.

"Well I guess it would be faster, need help up Yuki?" Jack asked as he looked at Yuki.

Yuki gave Jack a look that was a cross between "Do I have to?" or "Can I reall?"

“Yuki it's safe and you can hold on to my tails if you want.” Will said to Yuki. “Besides, the faster we get to whoever is in trouble the quicker we can help.”

"Right!" Yuki said climbing on.

Jack smiled as he helped Yuki up before getting on himself.

Will sniffs the air and catches the scent of gunpowder before looking at Sam. “Keep up if you can Sam.” Will said as he, Jack, and Yuki took off.

“Oh I'll keep up, dad.” Sam said as he and Raven followed closely behind.

*Bang, Bang bang* "D*** things don't know when to die!" A female's voice called out. "We already got some to test on!" *Bang Bang*

“Sam, You and Raven go help her and we'll handle this.” Will said as he Jack, and Yuki jumped into the battle.

“Right dad.” Sam said turning to the female. “We're here to help, so please don't shoot us.”
r
"What the Hell are you guys doing..*Bang,*bang*..Didn't ya hear the Message!"She asked shooting two zombies right between the eyes.

“Yeah we did and we decided to come and help.” Sam said as he grabbed some zombies with his tails and slammed them into a building. “Aunt Raven I need you to get down please.”

Raven jumped down."Don't worry we wont get in the way.

Sam quickly shifts to his wolf form and draws his sword. “This will be easier than the demons we just got done fighting.” Sam said as he started hacking and throwing fireballs at the zombies.

“You got that right son.” Will said as he slammed some zombies into the ground.

Jack had already gotten himself and Yuki down from Will's back and was now standing in front of Yuki shooting the zombies left and right, "This little gun isn't helping me very much, I think I need a new one."
Z
"Here!" A man yelled over the gunfire tossing a gun over to him. "If you're gonna risk your life we might as well give you a new gun."

Will quickly shifts to his human form and draws his swords. “That's why I use swords Jack.” Will said as he decapitates two zombies and hacks at two more.

Jack smirked, "Thanks for the gun." He said using his new gun to blow the zombies away.

*Bang, Bang Bang* "Seems like those where the last ones..." The woman said but her gun was still at the ready.

"Aw, I was just starting to have fun." Jack said pouting.

"Grrrr I DIDN'T GET TO ATTACK AT ALL!!!"Yuki complained

"Want to hit me to get your frustrations out?" Jack asked.

"No, that's ok." Yuki replied.

"Alright then." Jack said with a smile.

“Is everyone ok?” Will asked as he walked up with his swords at his side.

“I`m ok, dad, how about you aunt Raven?” Sam asked shifting to his human form and putting away his sword.

"I'm fine." Raven replied.

"Good to see you guys are alright, Is everyone alright!" The woman asked. "Yes ma'am!" The rest of the soldiers replied. "Good." She turned back to Will, Sam, Raven, Yuki, & Jack. "Now please tell me way you came here....don't you realize how dangerous that was!" She asked not even trying to hid how annoyed she was.

“We heard that there was trouble and came to help, and to join the government.” Will said. “My twin brother has joined up with a woman named Fern to try and overthrow the government.”

Once he said Fern the woman's facese changed completely it now looked uneasy, she took a deep breath then let it out. "Okay, fill me in on the way." She replied heading to a Van.

"I guess we follow." Yuki said looking between Will & Jack.

“We are going to ride with her, Yuki. Don`t worry, I`ll make sure nothing happens to you.” Will said as he got into the van. “Raven, why don`t you fill her in on what you heard.”

“Come on Yuki, this will be fun.” Sam said smiling as he got in after his dad.

"Don't worry Yuki no one will hurt you as long as we're around, I promise you that." Jack said smiling and taking Yuki's hand.

"Okay."Yuki said heading towards the van.

"Ya coming? Course I just sent a massage to the clinic so we better pick up the speed." The woman said snickering at the end as she got in the driver seat.

"Yeah, we're coming." Jack said helping Yuki into the van before getting in himself.

Will sighs and looks out the window. “Raven, what did I do to Dean to deserve him to try something like this?” Will said glancing at his sister.

"He thinks you abandoned him, nothing we say will make him change his mind.."Raven replied before turning to the woman and filling her in.

"D***, just what we need... Okay buckle up and have the kiddo hold on to someone. By the why I'm Annabell." Annabell said starting the van.

Jack took hold of Yuki like Annabell suggested not exactly sure as to why though.

“If I had known he was there I would have gotten him out,”Will said to Raven.“I don`t leave family behind unless I don`t have a choice.”xr


Sam looks at his dad before looking at Annabel.“Nice to meet you, Annabel. I`m Sam Blackfire, the one by the window is my dad, Will Blackfire, and my aunt Raven is sitting behind you,”Sam said to Annabel.

"I'm Yuki..The man holding me is my brother Jack."Yuki stated smiling.

"Nice ta meet ya.Hold on!"Annabell said as she speed out of the area she is quite the speed-demon.

Fern/Dean/Luki:>


"Okay."Chris replied as he put more into it.

Dean smiles as Chris made a stable fire katana. “Well done Chris. There was one more thing I wanted to show you, but I don't know if Fern would let me,” Dean said to Chris.

Chris smiled."Why bring it up then?"

Chuckling to herself a little, Fern turned to Dean. "I have no say in this, then." Her expression clearly said: "If he turns on us, taking him down is your responsibility."

Because it can be used to quickly get out of a bad situation,” Dean said to Chris. “Besides I learned it from my twin brother.”

A slight giggle could be heard by werewolf ears, but Mark's were the sharpest to recognize it as Aspen's.

Mark grinned."What news do you bring, Aspen?"

Fern turned to face her brother and the ghost just a Aspen chose to materialize. Aspen giggled again as she saw the alien and the hybrid in front of them. "My, my. Recruiting mutts and space-heads, now, Ringleader?"

Fern snarled. "Business. Now."
#
"You sound like her bluntness when you do that." Aspen pouted. "Choose your escort. You're going to the Opera~" Her rasp echoed as she faded from sight. "Be there in an hour."

"Who was that? Who is 'her bluntness?'" Chris asked.

"That was a pesky specter with too much time on her hands." Fern scowled. "Unfortunately, she's also a trusted messanger of one of our most influential allies." She mulled over the new information for a few seconds. "Mark needs to stay here to keep an eye on things... Would you mind coming with me instead, Dean?"

“I would be happy to Fern. I'll show you that move when I return, Chris,” Dean said looking at the spot where the ghost had dissappeared. 'That ghost just called me a mutt,' thought Dean as he walked over to Fern.

"Thank you." Fern smiled at Dean before addressing her brother. "I'm stealing your jeep for the day, Mark." She said, snatching the keys from his hands and knowing he would not respond. "Make sure nothing burns down in my absense, little brother~" Fern began walking to the yard were the jeep was, expecting Dean to follow.

Dean nods and follows Fern to the jeep and sits down in the passenger seat.

As Fern turned the key in the ignition, she sighed and turned to Dean. "Aspen is Nova's errand girl. She's no trouble herself, but Nova is. I guarantee you that Nova's using her to keep an eye on us. They're likely to take in interest in you now that the pest's seen what you're capable of..."

“I see. I'm going to have to be more careful about using my abilitys now,” Dean said remembering Raven's words before she left.

Fern pursed her lips in thought at she began to pull away from her headquarters and towards District Eight. "Actually, the opposite would be preferable. Perhaps the only thing Nova and Aspen have in common is a thirst for entertainment. After all," she glanced at Dean, "Nova was my number one patron back when the Blood Games were still around. If she thinks you're interesting enough, that's more reason for her to use her influence in our favor. Besides, it's a bit late to hide you from Aspen's eyes."

“True. Aspen should be glad she is a ghost,” Dean said to Fern. “Because the last person to call me a mutt was left as a pile of ash and a few body parts.”

Fern narrowed her eyes at the road and nodded in agreement. "The only ones that can even touch her are soul-suckers like Nova. And that pesky little specter knows it, too..."

Dean notices some smoke rising from a building and the sounds of a flame gun discharging. “Looks like my brother's been busy,” Dean said with a slight smirk. “If it was me, I would've just brought the building down.”

Fern gave a long suffering sigh. "Too bad we can't stop to see the sights..." She then muttered under her breath for a while about snoopy ghosts with horrible timing.

Dean nods and looks ahead keeping watch for anyone that might try and stop them. 'You better not have wasted that attack on something meaningless Will.' Dean thought to himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Welcome back." Mark said holding the door open.

"Home sweet home~" Fern replied, dropping the jeep keys in Mark's hand as she walked past him.

"Hmmm your place does seem better protected."Luki said looking over the place.

“Its good to be back,” Dean said remembering what he told Chris before he left. “Chris, I'm back. Are you ready for me to teach you that move i promised.”

Chris smiled and had a red mark on his cheek. "Ready when you are!"

Fern noticed the mark and lightly placed her fingers on Chris's jawline, her eyes shining with false concern. "Chris, what happened?"

"Oh your brother was training me on hand to hand, thats all." Chris said with a smile.

Dean noticed the mark on Chris's cheek, but said nothing as took off his jacket and black flames started swirling around his arms. “This move, once fully charged, can be devastating, but also harmless at low power,” Dean said as a fireball formed at the tip of his finger. “I'm only going going to put enough power in this attack to blow that rock over there apart, so everyone please stand behind me.”

Fern moved where she could see the action without getting hit in the crossfire and gestured for Mark and Luki to join her.

Chris, Mark & Luki joined her.

Dean points the flame gun at the rock and fires the jet black blast, hitting the rock and shattering it. “Thats the move you will be going up against if you face my brother and nephew,” Dean said as the flames on his arms died down.

"Clever, clever." Fern murmured, ignoring the excited ghostly giggles that seemed to come from all around the room.

"My, that is impressive." Aspen's voice echoed. "But perhaps it's best you all get packed, now."

"Packed?" Fern raised an eyebrow. "What for?"

"You didn't think that her thoughtfulness would have you two meet and not provide a proper venue? You're place is barely suitable for an army, ringleader. Let alone, two." The rasping voice faded, leaving Fern to seethe.

"This should be interesting." Luki whispered to himself. "Fern, are you alright? We where just given good news."

"Perfectly fine." Fern reassured with her usual smile. "It's probably best we get going. Mark! Make sure nothing is left behind! Last thing we need is a trail to follow..." Shaking off her irritation at Aspen's insult, Fern went to pack up her things.

Dean looks at Fern and gets a idea as he walks over to her. “Fern, I may have a way to buy us some time away from the floating pest,” Dean said to Fern.

"I'm listening." Fern replies.

“Simple, we send her to spy on my brother and nephew. By now Raven's joined them and we could use the info to plan our next moves,” Dean said with a smirk.

Fern opened her mouth to respond.

"A brilliant plan~" Aspen's voice remarked from around the two. "But you'll have to wait until I lead you to your new headquarters, won't you?" Giggle.

“The pest is right. We really should get moving,” Dean said as he shifted to his fox form. “Chris, you want to ride on my back to the new place?”

"I can?"Chris asked suprised.

“Yes you can Chris and we'll follow Mark, Fern, and Luki to tbe new place,” Dean said as he bent down so Chris could climb on.

Fern went ahead and spread the word to pack up to everyone she passed. Everything neccessary would be packed within a half-hour. Anything else was to be destroyed.

Chris climbed on his back."I'm not hurting you I'm I?"

“No, your ok. Fern are we all set to move out?” Dean said as he stood up.

"Everything's packed and in the cars, if that's what you mean." Fern replied with a smirk as she walked by carrying a single suitcase. "Mark will take care of everything else."

Dean nods as he and Chris walks outside. “Be sure to hold on tight Chris, because we are going to move fast,” Dean said once they was outside.

Chris tightened his grip.

“Aspen, which way to the new place,” Dean asked looking around.

A giggle echoed through his ears before a fog arose. A thin fog only about a foot wide and low to the ground that seemed to trail off to the south. Obviously a path for the hybrid and loaded cars to follow.

“Follow me to the new place,” Dean said as he and Chris took off running, following the fog.

The army of vehicles followed after them, leaving only one car behind for Mark's use, knowing he'd be along quickly enough to follow everyone by scent.

Dean arrives at the new hideout and kneels down so Chris could get off. “That was fun, wouldn't you say Chris?” Dean said to Chris as the others showed up.

Loshya:

Loshya moved the couch so it wasn't facing the door, then laid down on it. "aghh not the most relaxing of beds."

The fox curled up next to Loshya and looked up at her.

"Try to get a relaxing spot."

The fox nodded and nuzzled Loshya's side as it got comfortable.

After a while Loshya fell asleep.

---

Luki:

An echoing giggle rang in the ears of all present as Aspen's voice rasped lightly in Luki's ear: "Her stoicness has a message for you~"

Luki smiled a bit as he handed a letter to one of his men. "Oh?"

"You are to meet an old associate of her's in within the hour at the Opera." Aspen's giggle revealed her mischeivious nature as her voice faded away. "You'll like this one..."

Sasha/Stella:

The table cracked as soon as it was hit.grouns of pain came from that side of the bar.

"i'm starting to get tired of this...you"she said and turned to stella

"They dont put up much of a fight."Stella said said with a slight whine as she throw a guy into two others.

"what should we do next"she looked at stella with puppy dog eyes and said

"Zombie bowling?"Stella suggested.

"I DIDEN"T KNOW YOU CAN READ MINDS"she said while jumping up and down

"I know where some are, come on!"Stella said running out the door happily.

"yeppy lets go KIll"she said while folowing stella

Stella lead her a little ways out of town, there where a bunch of Zombies.

"want me to make a ball"she asked while pulling out her sniper rifle.

"Of course!"Stella said happily.

Stella whisled."Nice shotin.Well it's body might be usless..but we got a ball!"She said running to get the "ball".

She quickly got the "Ball" and ran back.

"Lets do this!"Stella said drawing arrows in the dirt.

"who starts?" she askes stella

"You can."Stella replied with a smile.

The head went flying into a group of Zombies cousing them to lose a bunch of limbs.

"No thats just..a strike! Stella stated going to get the ball.

"i will cover you"sasha said while grabbing hir sniper rifle

"I got it." Stella called back.

"Huh."Stella tilted her head to the left as she thought."...wanta blow something up?"

"no i want something more challenging...Wanta take over a town"Sasha said

Aspen:


A giggle echoed throughout the room as a swirling mass materialized in front of the Aristocrat of the Underground. "You summoned, Milady?" Aspen asked as her figure solidified.

"Yes. You know our friends, Fern and Luki,...Well I think it's time to introduce the two." Nova said looking over a dagger,(clearly a new gift.)

"Ooh~ Of course, Milady." Aspen grinned. "Should I tell them to meet at the usual place? The old Opera House in District Eight?"

"Yes. Tell Luki to bring his group too." She replied with an ever so slight smirk that it might not even be there.

"Of course, Milady." Aspen agreed. "Is that all?"

"I want you to stay with them for awhile. (Meaning she wants Aspen to spy on them.) Oh and check out the unit...make sure none of them are up to anything."

"Of course, Milady." Aspen's voice echoed as she slowly phased out.

Seth/Loshya:

Seth was walking down the street, he was looking for his next victim, but wasn't having much luck with all the couples walking around.

Alot more people started coming out of their houses but they where all in groups.

Seth hissed at his bad luck and glared angrily at the groups of people.

"Have you heard of all the people going missing?" A girl asked the boy next to her. "Oh yeah...Don't worry nothing will happen to you."

"People going missing? Do tell." Seth said with a smirk as he stood in front of the couple.

"Oh yeah it's just gossip I don't believe it, just a few people haven't been found it's as if they just weren't there to begin with." The boy responded as the girl shivered a bit.

"Oh, what an intriguing mystery. What if it is true?" Seth asked with a devilish glint in his eye.

"Oh I'm not worried. Are you Hana?" The boy turned to the girl. "Not any more haha."

"Well, I'd be careful just in case. Don't go wandering off by yourself." Seth said looking at the girl.

"Haha I wont."She replied holding the boys arm.

Seth smirked, "Alright then, have a nice night." He said sarcastically.

"You too." The boy said a little uneasy.

Seth smirked and left to find someone who was alone, he was getting bored which was never a good thing.

Before he know it he was heading out of town.

"This is so annoying, not one person is alone tonight." Seth said grumpily, he really wanted to find someone interesting to experiment on.

He noticed the old side of town, some people go there on dares.

"I wonder if there are any idiots around here tonight?" Seth wondered out loud.

The cold breeze allowed him to catch a scent, It lead to an old building.

Seth followed the scent to the old building, 'I wonder who this scent belongs to?' He thought as he walked.

The scent lead to a fairly empty room a couch faced away from the entrance.

Seth walked into the room and towards the couch.

The couch suddenly went slidding across the floor towards him.

Seth moved out of the way just in time so that the couch hit the wall behind him, "What was that?"

A girl that was now where the couch was got up. "Oh, sorry You scared me, I didn't hurt you did I?" The girl asked sweetly.

"No, not at all. I'm terribly sorry to have scared you." Seth said in mock politeness as he noticed a fox standing next to her.

"I'm sorry is this your house?"

"No, I'm afraid I've gone and wandered out of the city again and then I caught a very intriguing scent." Seth said with a smirk.

The fox stood in front of the girl like it was a guard dog.

"What do you really want?!" The girl asked in not nearly as sweet a tone.

"Well I was looking for someone to... Experiment on, but all I kept seeing in the city was couples." Seth said with a disgusted look on his face as if the very idea of being with another person romantically was horrid.

"Hehehe I see.I like cutting things open too." Loshya said with an evil grin as she pulled her daggers out.

"I've already experimented on vampires, it's quite fun really, especially since they can heal themselves... But humans... Oh, they're so much more fun to cut open! There's so much screaming and all of the blood." Seth said with an evil grin as he closed his eyes in pleasure.

"Hmm I see so go play with some human." Loshya stated already seeming bored.

"I would if I could find some, maybe I should play with your little fox... I've never seen a vampire fox." Seth said eyeing the fox which hid behind Loshya.

"Don't make me hurt you." Loshya replied sweetly.

"You'd try to hurt me over a fox?" Seth asked mildly intrigued by this.

"Hey! Foxie is my friend!" Loshya declared.

"Well, if you help me find someone who's alone or help me lure someone away from their little group or date I'll leave you... And Foxie alone." Seth said as he looked from the fox to Loshya.

"I'm only doing it because it sounds fun.... Maybe I can see what you do." Loshya replied.

"That's fine with me, I don't mind an audience." Seth said with a triumphant smirk.

"Alright then lets hurry up before the humans chicken out and head back into their homes!" Loshya said walking towards the door.

"Alright." Seth said as he followed her, he smirked when he saw the fox right beside her.

She instantly ran over to a group of guys, she went to the one in the back and tapped on his back. "Umm I'm sorry to bother you... but can you help?" Loshya asked sweetly. "Sure."

Seth watched her rather intrigued, 'A male, I haven't experimented on one in a while.'

"You see, I got a couch and the person that put it in placed it all wrong... and I'm afraid I'm to weak." Loshya said leading the man to the house she was in, then gave Seth a sign to follow.

Seth smirked as he followed Loshya and the man whom he was going to cut open.

Loshya lead the man up the stairs. "Shouldn't you shut the door?" the man asked. "I want to air the place out a bit."

Seth smiled as he followed them into the house and waited a few minutes before following up the stairs quietly.

The man's back was turned as he pushed the couch.

Seth crept up to the man and hit him hard on the head knocking him out, "Have any rope or something I can use to tie him up?"

"Aww I just got it,.. here ya go." Loshya replied in her normal tone.

Seth smiled as he took the rope and tied the man up, "So how should I wake him up? It's no fun if he's not screaming."

"Oh I know!" Loshya said pulling out her dagger then, she glanced back at Seth. "Oh right, cutting is your job. Fine." She jammed two into his arm and moved the tendon around. The man woke with a screech.

Seth smirked evilly as he walked over to the man, "Have a nice little nap?"

The man looked freaked out and in pain. "Aww I'm sorry where you wanting a kiss instead?" Loshya asked in the sweet tone then started snickering.

"Aw, too bad.May I borrow one of your daggers?" Seth asked as he ripped the man's shirt off and got on top of him so he couldn't squirm away.

"Sure." Loshya replied handing one over.

"Thanks." Seth said taking the dagger from Loshya, "Now, let me hear you scream." He said placing the dagger to the man's chest and cutting down to his navel.

Loshya smiled and started laughing at the mans screams, then she turned to the fox pat him a bit still smilling.

Seth smiled as he licked the blood from the dagger, "You're not screaming loud enough." He said cutting the man's arms from the shoulders to the wrists.

Loshya walked over to the couch, tore off some cloth and tied it around the man's upper shoulder. "Now he want bleed out so soon." She giggled.

"Good thinking." Seth said as he stabbed the man's hand with the dagger and twisted it.

The man screamed he looked as if he was about to pass out.

"Oh poor little guy, I don't think he's having fun any more." Loshya said with a sad lip as she batted her lashes.

"They always seem to pass out just when I get to the good part." Seth said as he glared at the man. "Let's see if I can wake him up again. Do you have any more daggers, I think I'll need two more."

"Two more... Okay here you go." Loshya replied handing him two more.

Seth smirked as he stabbed one into the man's other hand and twisted like he did with the first. "Now, let's see him smile." He said taking the other dagger and cutting a smile into the man's face.

The man awoke as a look of horror mixed with pain and fear covered his face and tears started streaming down it.

"Hahaha he's not much of a knight in shining armor any more!" Loshya laughed.

"No he's not." Seth said with a smirk. "Doesn't he have a nice smile though?"

"It's such a lovely smile!" Loshya agreed.

"I'm getting kind of bored, should I just rip his heart out now?" Seth asked as he looked from Loshya to the man.

"You don't rip it out...you cut it out." Loshya replied.

"True." Seth said as he pulled the man's chest open and began to cut his heart out not caring that blood squirted out and landed on his face.

"How beautiful." Loshya said to herself, watching the bloody scene in front of her.

Seth smiled as he pulled the heart from the man's chest, "I had to break a few ribs, but I got it out." he said holding it up.

"What are you going to do with it." Loshya asked looking at the heart.

"I was thinking of dissecting it, unless you want to eat it." Seth said looking at Loshya.

"That's okay you can dissect it." Loshya said with a smile.

Seth smiled as he cut into the heart which sprayed him with blood, he opened the heart and looked inside. "Interesting, there's not much difference between male and female hearts."

"It is probably pretty easy to dissect a zombie." Loshya replied.

"Well since they don't die when they're organs are removed it is quite easy." Seth said as he dug around inside the man and pulled out his liver.

Loshya sat and started patting the fox.

The fox nuzzled against Loshya's hand.

"Well, he has a healthy liver." Seth said admiring the pink color of it before cutting it open.

"Did you have a Doctor in your family?" Loshya asked still looking and patting the fox.

"No, but I have read a lot of books on anatomy." Seth said as he opened the liver. "Not much fatty tissue either."

"So what happened to your family, If you don't mind me asking?" Loshya asked.

"I killed them." Seth said simply as he set the liver aside and cut the stomach out.

Loshya was silent for a bit. "I...see so your parents were like that."

"Like what?" Seth asked as he examined the stomach in his hand for a second before cutting it open.

"I've taken in, many children that where abandon or abused.... Is that what happened to you?" Loshya asked.

"I killed them because they locked me in a cell in the basement." Seth said as he opened the stomach to see it's contents.

"I see, I'm sorry to hear that." Loshya said glancing at him.

"They locked me up because I was dissecting and experimenting on the villagers pets and children, but I never killed any of the kids... Just rearranged them a little." Seth said still looking at the contents. "Hmm... He had a hamburger and fries."

"Rearranged them." Loshya repeated. "How so?"

"I just removed some things that wasn't completely necessary for them to have, like their appendix." Seth said setting the stomach aside and taking out his lungs.

"You don't still harm children do you?" Loshya asked never changing her emotionless tone.

"I tend to only dissect adults and animals now." Seth said as he examined the man's lungs.

"Hehehe good. For a second there I thought you might be a disgusting thing that I needed to get rid of." Loshya truly seemed to find it funny.

"These look good, he wasn't a smoker. So you love kids?" Seth asked as he cut into one of the man's lungs

"Very much.......they are the most interesting little things." Loshya answered in a rather sweet tone it was fake this time.

"I don't really care much for children, to me they're rather annoying." Seth said as he examined the inside of the lung.

"Hmmmm I see..... Have you heard of the blood games?" Loshya asked.

"Yes, what about them?" Seth asked as he pulled out a kidney.

"What is your view of them?" Loshya asked as she went over and looked at the lung he had set aside.

"I'd rather just dissect people." Seth said as he examined the kidney in his hand.

"I went to one.....It was rather disgusting." Loshya added.

"Really, what happened?" Seth asked curiously as he cut into the kidney.

"They put a recently turned zombie against a Vampire child, the child begged to be let out....."

"Why would they do that?" Seth asked curiously looking over at Loshya.

"They probably enjoy the fact that someone's life is in there hands and begging for there lives..... Even a person that is already weaker then them."Loshya stated her mouth closed tightly when she was done and her eyes narrowed.

Seth blinked as he looked at her, "Why do you care about children so much?" He asked curiously not understanding.

"Besides my parents... Children are the only things I still see kindness in.... Besides someone needs to protect them." Loshya answered.

"Kindness?" Seth repeated still not understanding.

"You can't be serious.... Someone most have shown you kindness?!" Loshya said looking at him.

"I guess." Seth said not really sure, his parents and uncle did often tell him they loved him, but to him it had seemed fake.

"Hmmm well after your done I'll have to take you around town or something." Loshya replied.

"Why would you do that?" Seth asked as he pulled out the man's intestines.

"Hehe I want to show you some kindness!" Loshya said happily she poked the heart then smiled at Seth.

Seth blinked and looked at Loshya like she was crazy, "Why?"

The fox went over to the man and began to lick the blood from his arm.

Loshya smiled at him. "Because I want to, and yes I'm probably a little crazy.Oh my name is Loshya."

"I'm Seth." Seth replied as he pulled Loshya's daggers from the man's hands. "Here, you probably want these back."

The fox made sure no one was looking before he grabbed the discarded heart and ran off with it.

"Yeah, besides dissecting things, what do you like to do?" Loshya asked.

"Don't know... I haven't really done anything else really." Seth said with a shrug.

"Okay, come on... There is one of those town that pretend nothing has happened near by it has a lot of stuff to do." Loshya said smiling.

"What should we do with him?" Seth asked gesturing to the dissected man lying open on the floor.

"Hmm... We could probably just leave him." Loshya said dully before adding. "Some animal might like him as a chew toy."

"Alright." Seth said standing up. "I need to clean my hands off now."

"You could lick it off." Loshya snickered. "No, I think there is a bath room...lets hope there's water."

"Yeah..." Seth said leaving in search of the bathroom.

Loshya walked into the living room to wait for him.

Once Seth was finished washing his hands of the blood he walked into the living room, "I'm done."

"Hold on." Loshya pulled out a cloth and wiped some blood of his cheek. "Ok now we can go."

Seth blinked and rubbed his cheek where she wiped it, "O-Ok."

Loshya smiled as she walked out towards the town.

"What's that?" Seth asked as he saw a huge hole open up a few feet ahead of them.

"I have no clue." Loshya replied uneasy.

Seth watched as a young boy with white hair came out of the hole, "What the?"

"Who... Who are you, and how'd you do that?!" Loshya asked. 'What the H*** is this kid? And how did he do that?!'

The boy turned around and backed up in surprise tripping over a fallen branch, "Oof! Ow, that really hurt."

"Are..are you okay?" Loshya asked.

"Y-Yes." The boy said as he got up and rubbed his backside.

"Who are you?" Seth asked as he looked the boy over.

"Oh, I'm Zane." Zane replied.

"What are you, Zane." Loshya asked sweetly as she hid the dagger.

"I'm an ice demon, well half ice demon... My dad was a human." Zane said as he looked Loshya and Seth over.

"How intriguing, never seen an ice demon before." Seth said with a slight glint in his eye.

Loshya noticed the glint and lightly elbowed Seth. "Don't even think about it... He's just a kid." She whispered. "I see so, Zane, you found that gate?"

Seth looked slightly disappointed, but said nothing.

"Yeah, it opened up so I came to find out if all humans are evil like my mom said they were... Are you two human?" Zane asked curiously.

"No, I'm a vampire." Seth said.

"I'm a vampire.... Some humans aren't bad." Loshya replied.

"My mom told me that when I was five, but it could be because my dad pushed her into a portal back to hell because she told him she was an ice demon and that she was pregnant." Zane said as he thought for a moment.

"I see... I'm sorry to hear that... But you seem a bit young to be traveling by yourself, why don't you come with me er.... Us."

"Well I had to come by myself, everyone back home hates me." Zane said ignoring Loshya's young comment. "Besides, I don't know your names."

"I'm Loshya." Loshya said kindly.

"I'm Seth." Seth said rather bored.

"It's nice to meet you both." Zane said smiling as a soft breeze blew and the dark chocolate brown ribbon tied to Zane's arm moved.

"What a pretty ribbon." Loshya said then suddenly signaled Seth to a passed out person and slipped him a knife.

Seth took the knife and dragged the passed out person into the house behind them.

"Thanks, it was my friend Shizu's." Zane said as the ribbon fell back to his side and he placed a hand on it.

"I see.... If you don't mind my asking where is Shizu?" Loshya asked.

"Her dad forbade her from seeing me." Zane said gripping his arm and the ribbon tightly.

"I see, hopefully you'll be able to see her again... By the way... How do you intend on seeing if humans are good or not?" Loshya asked.

"I doubt it, her dad hates me... Everyone back home hates me." Zane said sadly. "Oh that... Well I hadn't really thought about it..."

"Well like I said earlier you can stick with Seth and I for a while...It is..um rather dangerous to be by yourself out here." Loshya said the last part as she glanced at some people in the distance.

"So how do you tell the good humans from the bad?" Zane asked curiously as he followed her gaze.

"It is very hard sometimes..... Those things over there are Zombies and they are extremely unfriendly." Loshya said.

"What are Zombies?" Zane asked having never seen one before.

"They are the bodies of dead humans.... They have one instinct, and that is to eat." Loshya replied.

"Why's that?" Zane asked curiously as Seth came back out of the house.

"It happened a long time ago...by some sort of weapon... Er gas actually...humans are very foolish." Loshya stated rather coldly she seemed to hate thinking of it.

"Oh, that's horrible... Is there a way to turn them back?" Zane asked as he looked at the zombies again.

"He wasn't as much fun as the last one." Seth whispered into Loshya's ear.

Loshya gave him a look that said "What do you expect, you found him passed out on the street", then turned to Zane. "Not yet."

"Are they working on a cure?" Zane asked.

Seth turned around as the fox came running out of the house.

Loshya smiled at the fox. "Not that I'm aware of.Oh this my pet!"

The fox ran up to Zane and sniffed him curiously.

"Oh, it's really cute." Zane said kneeling down and petting the fox. "I hope they're working on a cure."

"I name him..hmmm...Elden." Loshya said patting Elden.

"That's a nice name." Zane said smiling as the fox licked Loshya's hand.

"Thanks....Seth and I where going to go to the town down the road.... It is an interesting town, want to come?" Loshya asked.

"Oh, uh... Sure." Zane said standing up and smiling.

"Great, are we leaving now? I'm so bored." Seth said.

"Okay, lets go!" Loshya said leading the way.

Elden gave Seth an annoyed look before following Loshya with his tail in the air.

Seth just glared at Elden as he followed them.

Zane chuckled as he followed Loshya, Seth and Elden.

"Oh looks like tomorrow will be a full moon." Loshya said taking long strides as she looked at the moon.

"How do you know?" Zane asked as he looked up at the moon for the first time.

"It is easy to....what is wrong, you are making a odd face?" Loshya stated.

"You mean me?" Zane asked as he looked over at Loshya.

"Yeah when you looked up you made a funny face." Loshya said.

"Oh, this is the first time I've ever seen the moon." Zane said flushing a slight pink.

"Really?" Loshya asked curiously.

"Yeah, it's actually the first time I've been away from hell." Zane said as he looked back up at the moon.

"I see.... Well I guess it just makes it even more beautiful to you."

"It does, it's so big and bright." Zane said smiling brightly.

"I really don't care for the moon." Seth said as he looked up for a second.

Loshya ruffled Seth's hair a bit. "Ya need to quit being all emotionless and a downer." She giggled.

Seth knocked Loshya's hands away, "Don't mess with my hair."

"Are you siblings?" Zane asked with a slight smile.

Loshya giggled a bit."Oh no."

"No." Seth said flatly.

"Oh, well you kind of act like it." Zane said.

"Really hmmm we just meet earlier today." Loshya replied a little puzzled.

"Well you must've become close quite fast then." Zane said smiling.

Seth hissed softly as he glared at Zane.

"Seth, I saw that be nice." Loshya took a few more long strides. "Well here's the town, there is a bowling ally, Movies, mini golf, a mall not really sure what is in it though, and a park."

"I've never experienced any of that stuff." Zane said excitedly.

"heehee it has become very rare even here." Loshya replied then turned to Seth for his answer.

"I've never done any of the stuff either." Seth said.

"Well the last movie is probably half way done... So lets try mini golf I haven't done that yet." Loshya said leading the way.

"Alright." Zane said happily as he followed Loshya.

"Whatever." Seth said as he followed them.

Loshya payed for them to play and started reading a small book they gave her. "This says that who ever gets their ball in all the holes, with one of these clubs in the least amount of swings wins."

"Really? Sounds fun." Zane said smiling.

"I think it sounds kind of boring." Seth said looking at the book over Loshya's shoulder.

Loshya looked over at Seth. "You go first, I'll be keeping score!"

Seth sighed, "Fine, hand me a club."

Zane smiled and bounced on his feet excitedly.

Loshya smiled and handed Seth the club.

Seth took the club and readied the ball, he sighed before swinging the club and hitting the ball.

Elden sat next to Loshya and watched.

The ball rolled and bounced out of the hole.

Seth hissed and glared at the ball, but went over and hit it lightly with the club.

The ball slowly rolled into the hole.

"Birdy! Great job Seth!" Loshya said then handed Zane his club.

Seth hissed and grumpily went over to stand by Loshya.

Zane smiled, took his club, placed the ball and hit it.

The ball went straight into the hole. "Hole in one! Great!" Loshya called to Zane.

"YES!" Zane said jumping up and down happily.

Seth scowled deeply and hissed in annoyance at Zane and Loshya.

"Okay get your ball and come on back." Loshya said.

Zane nodded, grabbed his ball and ran back over to Loshya and Seth.

Loshya placed her ball and hit it. "Come on, come on."

Zane and Seth watched as Loshya's ball went into the which Seth wasn't happy about.

"Woo." Loshya got the ball and went back over to where they where.

"That's not fair." Seth said glaring at Zane and Loshya.

"We just got lucky.... You can always win this one." Loshya replied.

"Yeah, don't give up." Zane said smiling.

Seth grumbled as he took his turn, he placed the ball down and hit it with his club.

Rolled the ball but it bounced off the wall and stopped.

Seth growled and hit the ball again.

The ball flew and hit the wall across from him and bounced off the landing just a few feet in front of him.

"I hate this game." Seth said throwing the club on the ground. "I quit!"

"We could try bowling then?" Loshya offered.

"Fine, whatever." Seth said hissing at the golf club.

"That could be fun." Zane said smiling.

Loshya smiled at Seth before heading on towards the bowling ally.

Seth followed Loshya with a frown.

Zane followed Loshya feeling a bit sorry for Seth.

Loshya payed for the game, then told them the rules. "Okay choose a ball and try it out Zane!"

"Ok." Zane said picking up a dark red ball.

"You have to take the weight of your ball into consideration." Loshya said before he could roll the ball.

"Well it doesn't feel too heavy." Zane said as he held the ball.

"The lighter it is the more likely it is to turn." Loshya said pointing out how the floor is.

"Well it's not really light, but it's not too heavy either." Zane said.

"Just try your best then." Loshya said with a big smile.

Seth picked up a black bowling ball and tested it's weight.

"I will." Zane said smiling.

Loshya smiled back then turned to watch how he does.

Zane smiled as he went up to the lane and rolled the ball, but not too hard.

Seth watched curiously.

The ball rolled and knocked down eight pins.

"Is that good?" Zane asked.

"Yeah but now you have a split so it is really hard to knock down the two remaining." Loshya replied.

"Oh, but I can still try though right?" Zane asked.

"Yes, you have another try."

"Ok!" Zane said smiling as he rolled his ball again.

It rolled and knocked over one of the pins.

"Aw." Zane said pouting slightly.

"It happens. Okay Seth it is your turn." Loshya said.

"Alright." Seth said taking his ball and rolling it like Zane did.

"That's a strike!!" Loshya giggled jumping up and down as he knocked down all the pins.

"That's good then?" Seth said as he watched Loshya jump up and down.

"It is the best!" Loshya replied then her face changed to her normal 'I don't really care' look. "Time to go."

"What?" Zane said slightly confused.

"Go? Go where?" Seth asked.

"Any where outside of this town." Loshya replied looking out of the corner of her eye toward the entrance.

"Why? What's wrong?" Zane asked still confused.

"This town doesn't really like outsiders." Loshya replied.

"Oh, so that's us right?" Zane said.

"Yeah, that's us." Seth said.

"Yes... Oh, looks like they're getting the cops... We should take the back exit." Loshya said going towards a door that said 'workers only'.

Zane looked over uneasily before following Loshya towards the door.

"Cops won't be able to hurt me." Seth said with a smirk.

"It's not like they can hurt me either... I just don't feel like dealing with them, besides...." Loshya glanced at Zane. "We need to think about more then just ourselves now that we're traveling in a group."

Seth glanced at Zane, "I'm sure he can take care of himself... Besides, cops wouldn't hurt a kid."

"I can take care of myself, but I don't want to cause trouble." Zane said.

Loshya opened the door for them. "*Sigh* we aren't going to worry about who can take on cops or who can take care of who.... After we get out of this town we should learn each others fighting style."

"Yeah, since we're 'traveling' together." Seth said put emphasis on the word traveling.

"Well I guess we should." Zane said nodding.

Loshya smiled and followed them out then lead the way out of town dodging cops.

Zane kept his eyes to the ground as he followed Seth and Loshya.

"Something wrong Zane?" Loshya asked.

"N-No, just don't want to make eye contact with anyone, my mom said some people will attack you if they think you're looking at them wrong." Zane replied not looking up.

"Hahaha only people in district twelve and three, but we'd protect you from any jerks." Loshya said.

"Oh, well I was just being careful." Zane said looking up at Loshya.

'Why would I have to protect him?' Seth thought as he looked from Zane to Loshya.

Loshya simply smiled at the two.

"Do you hear that?" Zane asked stopping.

Loshya stopped to listen. 'I doubt the cops would still be fallowing us?'

Seth listened too and heard voices, "I think they're talking about us." He said hearing the word 'outsiders'.

"Hmm should we listen or keep moving?" Loshya asked.

"Who do you thinks those outsiders were?" A male voice said.

"I don't know, but we have to find them and find out." Another male said.

"I think we should keep moving." Zane said sounding a bit scared.

"Good idea." Loshya replied continuing.

Zane quickly and quietly followed Loshya.

'I'm not scared of some men.' Seth thought not moving as he listened.

"How are we going to find out?" The first man asked curiously.

"Oh, I think the usual way just in case the want to lie." The other man said chuckling darkly.

Loshya seemed like she really wanted to see these people, but continued none-the-less.

Seth really wanted to say something to these men to see what the usual way was, but he figured Loshya would get mad so he began to walk.

As Zane continued walking he didn't see the brittle stick in his path and accidentally stepped on it making it snap.

"Hey, did you hear that?" The first man asked as he heard the snap.

Loshya went against a wall motioning them over she now had three daggers in each hand.

Zane went against the wall next to Loshya and gave her an apologetic look.

Seth rolled his eyes before joining them.

"It came from over there, but it could've been an animal." The first man said.

"Yeah, but it also could be the outsiders, let's check it out." The other man said.

Loshya smiled a bit, before hiding the dagger and walking a few feet away, she then dropped to the ground and started robbing her ankle. (But they could tell she could get up in a blink if she had to.)

The first man came out of the bushes and saw Loshya, "Hey, it's a girl... Looks like she's injured."

The other man came out and looked her over, "I've never seen her, she must be one of the outsiders."

"What happened little outsider, did you hurt your ankle?" The first man asked keeping his distance.

"I..I tripped..enng...a..and I think I twisted my ankle." Loshya said tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Aw, poor little thing." The first one said with a little smirk. "So who are you little outsider?

"Uh Oh..I'm Luna..I'm sorry I got lost." Loshya replied then she made it seem like she got a twinge of pain.

"So where are your little outsider friends?" The man asked ignoring her pain.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Loshya asked.

"We saw you at the bowling alley with two guys." The man said.

"Oh I...meet those two nice men outside of town..but we split up."

"You wouldn't be lying to us now would you?" The first man asked.

"Yeah, how do we know that they're not hiding and waiting to attack us?" The second man asked looking at Loshya.

"Huh! Oh my goodness, do people around here do that?!!"

"No, but outsiders might... We don't trust outsiders." The first man said.

Seth rolled his eyes, 'She's a good actor.' He thought with a smirk from his hiding spot.

"Why would outsiders do that?" Loshya asked acting like she was having trouble standing up.

"Most outsiders are only looking for trouble, and they cause chaos and interrupt the peace." The first man said, neither man mad a move to help Loshya.

"But how can you keep people from coming into your town?" Loshya asked leaning against a post.

"Well we make an example out of one of the outsiders so people get scared and won't want to come back." The man said with a smirk.

Loshya's face got a evil grin of it's own. "That so? How do you go about making 'an example out of one' exactly?" The sweetness in her voice twisted into a bone chilling tone.

"Well we usually torture and kill them." The man said not noticing her tone.

"Is it just me or is it getting colder?" The other man said as the temperature in the area began to drop dramatically.

'Is the kid doing this?' Seth wondered to himself as he saw Zane giving the men an icy glare.

"Hahaha torture and kill...Me? haha" Loshya laughed charge the first man daggers ready.

The first man stepped back, or he tried to... But he wasn't able to due to the fact that ice had started to creep up his body and encasing him, he turned to his friend who's head had just been swallowed up by the ice that was encasing him.

"I'll make this quick." Loshya whispered as she stabbed two dagger into the man's chest.

The man cried out in pain as he looked up at Loshya, he looked over at Zane when he heard him move, "Wha-what are you?"

Loshya smiled sweetly the sweet tone back to her voice. "I don't think you really want to know." she said pulling out the daggers.

The man coughed up blood and weakly looked up at Loshya before the ice fully encased him.

"Interesting." Seth said as he came closer and looked at the ice surrounding the men.

Loshya pulled out a cloth and started cleaning her daggers as she looked at the ice. "I agree. Nice work Zane!!"

"Well I could sense they wanted to hurt you." Zane said.

"Keehehe thanks... We should probably get going before any of their friends show up." Loshya said as she began to walk.

"Yeah." Zane said following Loshya.

Seth pouted as he followed Loshya.

Loshya looked back at Seth and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Bay be next time."

"I wanted to dissect them." Seth said.

"I know...but if we wait to long then some other goons will come." Loshya replied.

"I guess so..." Seth said as he walked.

"Dissect?" Zane repeated.

"Umm Seth is a doctor..You do know what a doctor is right?"

"Yeah, we have doctors too." Zane said.

"So when ever he has to defend himself like we just did he takes it also to try to learn more about the human ...er whatever body workings." Loshya explained.

"Oh, I get it." Zane said with a nod.

Loshya smiled. "So where to now?"

"I don't know this area." Zane said shrugging.

"Probably somewhere where people don't mind outsiders." Seth said.

"Hmm okay that why." Loshya walking off.

Seth shook his head as he followed Loshya.

Zane nodded as he followed Loshya and Seth.

After awhile Loshya stopped and frowned. "*sigh* Okay....I have no clue where we are...but I'm sure we'll come a crossed a town after a while!" She said before walking again.

"So basically you're lost and you want us to keep walking until we hit a town?" Seth said giving Loshya a skeptical look.

"Do you now know this area very well?" Zane asked curiously.

"Ummm well we will find a town sometime...and I kinda know this area." Loshya answered.

"Right." Seth said not believing Loshya as he followed her.

"Hey if your going to take that tone..YOU take over." Loshya said stepping aside.

"No, no, it's fine." Seth said.

"Ha your just saying no to try and prove me wrong... But it's not going to work." Loshya song as she began to do more of murch then a walk.

"No, I'm just not a good leader." Seth said.

Loshya gave him a look."Hey.. guess what?...I think I see a town."

"Really?" Zane asked looking ahead.

He could barely make out what could be a town. "Told you we'd find a town."

"Have you ever seen that town before?" Seth asked curiously.

"Hmm no I actually haven't." Loshya replied uneasily.

"So how do we know it's safe?" Zane asked uneasily.

"We don't... It is also quit possible that it is abandoned." Loshya replied slowing down a bit.

"Only one way to find out." Seth said as he continued to walk.

Loshya nodded as she continued walking to the town.

Zane hesitantly followed Seth and Loshya feeling a bit nervous.

The town seemed pretty empty, they didn't see anyone.

"I guess it's an abandoned town, or they're all hiding." Seth said looking around.

Suddenly a bunch of zombies came out from the alleyways. "WHAT THE H***?! I'VE NEVER SEEN THEM MOVE THIS FAST!!" Loshya said reaching her daggers. 'There's so many of them! Damn... Zane's not used to fighting zombies.'

Zane's eye grew wide with terror as he saw all of the zombies heading their way.

"Zombies! I've never met a zombie!" Seth said his eyes shinning with interest.

Loshya quickly handed Seth two daggers and one to Zane. "Seth, help me fight them off. ZANE RUN NOW!!" She demanded as she charged a few of the closest zombies.

Seth nodded and charged at the zombies as well.

Zane decided to listen to Loshya because he had never encountered zombies before, so he took off running in the opposite direction where there were no zombies.

I hope Zane will be okay...I have no time to worry about that right now though! Loshya thought as she sliced open the Zombies neck.

Seth was having fun as he sliced up the zombies around him.

The Zombies where healing nearly as fast as they where getting injured.

"What is up with that, are they supposed to be healing?" Seth asked as he continued cutting away at the zombies.

"This isn't normal... They're also faster then normal... WE need to get out of here!!" Loshya replied.

"I'll say, this is too weird." Seth said as he picked up a nearby trash can and throwing it at the group nearest them.

"Well boys this was fun but we gotta go!" Loshya said she grabbed Seth wrist and ran through a small opening.

Seth let Loshya pull him along as he pushed the zombies back as they tried to get them.

After a while running Loshya stopped. "*Pant,Pant* I think we lost them."

"I think so too." Seth said panting as he stopped too.

"That... Was to odd... They've never been like t-t...that before."Loshya said still panting.

"I know." Seth said looking back with a distant look in his eyes.

"They've never been that fast or been able to heal....what the H*** is going on?" Loshya asked shacking her head.

"I have no idea, but I'd love to find out." Seth said.

"Me too...huh now I'm hungry..want to find some food?"Loshya asked it seemed her thoughts where some where else though.

"Sure, are you worried about that kid?" Seth asked curiously.

"*Sigh* Is it that noticeable?" Loshya asked now letting the worry show.

"Yes, it is." Seth said with a smirk. "I'm sure he's fine."

"*sigh* You're probably right...but still he just got here..he doesn't really know the ropes." Loshya replied.

"That's true." Seth said with a nod.

"The kid's smart though.... He should be able to figure something out." Loshya said before beginning to walk again.

"Yeah." Seth agreed as he began to follow Loshya.

After a long while a town came into view. "Finally!" Loshya said grumpily.

"I'll say." Seth said rather annoyed.

Loshya walked into town. "God! What is up with all the F***** couples!" Loshya said as she saw the streets filled with couples.

Seth's eye twitched, "I hate couples."

"Agreed." Loshya said as she watched for a single person.

"What a cute couple they are!" A woman said to her boyfriend as she passed Seth and Loshya.

'She thinks we're a couple?! I'll kill her.' Seth thought with a murderous look in his eye as he glared at the woman.


Oh please let us dissect her! Loshya thought keeping the happy face but her eyes where getting a angry glint.

"Hey babe, wait here while I go in and get us some candy." The man said with a smile as he walked into the store.

Seth smirked as he gave Loshya an 'Oh please can we kidnap and dissect her' look.

Loshya looked at him with a look that said. "It would be to hard...right now."

Seth pouted slightly defeated.

"Hi there, so how long have you two been dating?" The woman asked as she spotted Loshya and Seth still standing there.

"O... Oh we... We aren't dating... We just met a few days ago actually."Loshya replied. 'What the H*** lady?! Are you doing this to get us angry?!'

Seth looked at Loshya curiously, 'Is she fumbling over her word like that because she's angry or is she acting again?' He wondered.

"Really? Well you two would make a cute couple, maybe you should start dating." The woman said flashing them a smile.

"Hehe I don't think I'm ready for that! Hehehe besides he's kinda a downer." Loshya giggled. God I hate this...Da** there are to many witnesses if a stab her!!

"How am I a downer?" Seth asked obviously annoyed and confused.

"*sigh* your always so grumpy..You should smile more hehe!" Loshya said as she used her fingers to try and make him smile.

"Why should I smile?" Seth asked his right eye twitching in annoyance. "Would you stop that?" He said smacking her hands away.

"See, you two already act like a couple." The woman said smiling at the way they were acting.

"Okay....But people who smile live longer then people who don't." Loshya replied to Seth before turning to the woman. "Uhh..really...I'm just being myself."

"So you want me to live longer? Fine!" Seth said making an attempt at smiling which just made him look like he was in pain.

"Ahhhh stop it,stop it, stop it!! You look in pain..and it creeps me out!" Loshya exclaimed covering Seth's face with her hands.

For the first time in his life Seth actually started laughing, not because he had caused pain, but because he found the look on Loshya's face to be amusing.

Loshya's hands slowly fell as her face got a puzzled look. "Huh?! Why are you laughing?!"

It took a few minutes for Seth to calm down to answer, "Be... Because your face was so funny."

"Ah I wasn't making a funny face!! You where!!" Loshya stated.

"You were when you said I looked like I was in pain cause I tried smiling." Seth said chuckling slightly.

"Well at least he tried to smile for you." The woman said.

Loshya showed her true smile... It kind of resembled a young child's if it wasn't for her eyes. "hehe You just need more practice... So I'll try to get you to smile more often!!"

"What's so great about wanting me to smile?" Seth asked.

"Well, she probably wants you to be happy." The woman said.

"Why would she want that?" Seth asked slightly confused.

"Hmmm I don't really have a good answer for that... But I guess it's because I'd like to see you smile and laugh more often." Loshya seeming puzzled be her own reply.

Seth cocked his head to the side in confusion, "I don't really understand, but ok."

The woman smiled, 'Well if they're not a couple now they will be, seems like they like each other.' She thought.

"It is nice to hear you laugh by the way....Oh yeah... We're here to get something to eat." Loshya said as her stomach growled.

Seth's face turned slightly pink at the compliment, but he said nothing.

"I can recommend a good restaurant." The woman said with a smile.

"Yeah, Seth take me to a nice restaurant. hehe." Loshya said with a grin.

Seth rolled his eyes, "Jeez you're bossy."

"What! No I'm not! You just have to pay me back for the bowling and mini golf." </b>Loshya</b> said looking slightly annoyed.

Seth sighed, "I guess that's true, so where's this restaurant?" He asked turning to the woman.

"It's called Al's, it's just up the road on the corner." The woman said pointing.

"Thanks for the info!" Loshya said as she took Seth's arm and practically ran to the restaurant.

"Jeez, you must be starving." Seth said as he was dragged along beside her.

"I said I was hungry...hehehaha I could bite you to show you how hungry I am!" Loshya giggled.

"No, that's ok." Seth said eyeing her cautiously.

Loshya simply hummed before stopping in front of the restaurant.

"It looks like a decent restaurant." Seth said looking it over.

"Well you never know until you try the food." Loshya said heading in.

"I guess so." Seth said as he followed her inside.

"Hello, how many in your party?" A woman asked as they entered.

"Um two." Loshya said all of a sudden seeming nervous.

"Alright, table for two. Follow me please." The woman said as she grabbed two menus and led them to a table.

Seth raised a brow at Loshya before following the woman.

Loshya followed the woman but stuck close to Seth.

"You ok?" Seth whispered as he looked at Loshya.

"Here's your table, a waitress will be right with you to take your drink order." The woman said placing the menus on the table and smiling before walking away.

"......... I haven't been to a restaurant in a long time... The last time I went to one... My parents died on the way home." Loshya said keeping her head down so her hair blocked the view of her face.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Seth said deciding to be nice for once and pulled out her chair for her.

Loshya sat down. "Y...You won't leave too...Will you?"

Seth blinked in surprise as he pushed her seat in, "No, I won't."

Loshya looked up slightly, tears in her eyes but a smile slowly came back to her face. "You better not.... Or I'll hate you."

"Wouldn't be the first time someone hated me, but you don't have to worry." Seth said.

"But you wouldn't want me to hate you... Because I'm special!" Loshya said raising her head smiling. "And besides... I wouldn't want to hate you."

"Yeah, you're the first person I've met that I don't want to dissect... That's new for me." Seth said.

"Hello, I'm Stacy and I'm going to be your waitress, so what would you like to drink?" Stacy asked as she walked over.

"English breakfast?" Loshya said smiling at Seth.

"That's fine." Seth said with a real smile that didn't look forced.

"Yay! You're smiling... It looks nice!" Loshya said happily.

"Uh... Thanks." Seth said turning slightly pink.

"I'll get your drinks right away." Stacy said with a smile.

"Hehehe You're blushing... That's so cute!" Loshya said turning a little pink herself.

"I... I don't blush." Seth said turning his head away from Loshya.

"Hehehe You can't hide what I've already seen." Loshya said.

"Well you're blushing too!" Seth said turning back and sticking his tongue out at her.

"Ahh I... Umm... I just have rosy cheeks!" </b>Loshya</b> replied sticking her tongue out.

"Yeah right." Seth said smirking.

"Here's your English Breakfast." Stacy said as she set their drinks on the table with a smile. "Have you decided on what you want to eat?"

"Oh... Uh no..." Seth said realizing he hadn't looked at his menu.

"That's alright, I'll come back in a few minutes." Stacy said with a smile as she left to check on the other customers.

Loshya picked up her menu blushing a bit more. "Hehe I can't believe I forgot to look at the menu, hehe."

"I forgot too." Seth said as he picked up his menu as well.

"Mmmmm Chicken Salad." Loshya more-or-less said to herself.

"The grilled chicken salad sounds good." Seth mumbled to himself as he looked over the menu.

"What's your favorite food, Seth?" Loshya asked curiously.

"Chicken." Seth replied as he took a sip of his drink.

Loshya smiled. "Favorite color?"

"Red." Seth said wondering why Loshya suddenly wanted to know about him.

"Hehe Favorite animal?" Loshya asked taking a sip of her drink.

Seth thought for a moment, "Promise you won't laugh?"

"I won't laugh." Loshya said leaning forward a bit.

"Panda bears, everyone used to make fun of me cause they said they were boring and girls normally like them." Seth said not looking at Loshya.

"I Think they where being stupid... And childish...but it is funny... We have the same favorite food, color, and animal." Loshya replied.

"Really?" Seth said slightly surprised.

"Of course." Loshya replied smiling.

"That's kind of weird... But it's also pretty cool." Seth said.

"You're right..haha it is." Loshya replied taking a sip of her tea.

"But I... I like it..." Seth said hiding his face behind the menu.

"_{Me too.} Loshya whispered. "I thought you already know what you wanted to eat."

"I... I do." Seth said setting the menu aside once he was sure his color had returned to normal.

"Hehehahaha then why did you pick your menu back up?" Loshya smiled happily at him.

"N-No reason." Seth said avoiding eye contact.

"So, have you decided what you want?" Stacy asked as she came back to the table.

"I'll have the grilled chicken salad." Loshya replied.

"I'll have the same thing." Seth said.

"Alright, two grilled chicken salads. What kind of dressing would you like?" Stacy asked as she wrote their order down.

"Honey mustered on the side." Loshya replied seeming a little unsure of herself.

"I'll have the same." Seth said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll go put in your order." Stacy said writing it down before walking away.

"Oh Happy day! I've seen you smile a lot today." Loshya said happily.

"It's very rare that I smile..." Seth said.

"Why is that?" Loshya asked.

"I never have a reason to." Seth said with a shrug.

"Well I'll keep giving you a reason, okay?" Loshya said with a wink.

Seth blinked, "O-Ok..." He said turning slightly pink though he didn't know why.

"Hehehe Sethie..HahaHaha...Sethie it doesn't fit but I cant help but want to use it."

"S-Sethie?!" Seth said a little too loud causing some people to turn towards them as his face turned completely red.

"SeeSh! Hahaha Okay, okay I won't call you it..Haha." Loshya was try to stop laughing but with no luck.

"S-Stop laughing!" Seth said his face still red as some girls giggled nearby.

"Hahahaha I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Ahh... Haha It won't happen again." Loshya said waving her hand.

"I-I hope not..." Seth said his face returning to it's normal color.

"Hey I was called Lala when I was younger... Hehe I think Sethie is better then Lala." Loshya said happily.

"Lala... That's kind of... Cute." Seth said smiling.

"Really? Hehe It's okay if you call me it once in a while then." Loshya said blushing a bit.

"And I guess it's ok if you call me Sethie every once in a while." Seth said turning pink.

Loshya smiled happily at Seth.

"Here's your food." Stacy said as she brought them their food and set it on the table in front of them.

"Thanks." Seth said with a nod.

"Thank you." Loshya said as she got out her fork.

Seth got out his fork too and took a bite of his salad, "Delicious."

Loshya tried hers. "Oh wow... It has been along time since I've had food this good!"

"Really?" Seth asked curiously.

"Yeah... I'm not the best at cooking... hehe." Loshya replied a little embarrassed.

"It's ok, maybe I could cook for you sometime." Seth said absentmindedly.

"Are you a good cook then?" Loshya asked excitedly.

"Well I had to cook for myself for a long time after I killed my parents." Seth said so only Loshya could hear.

"Well as long as it's edible, haha" Loshya replied before looking around. "I wonder where Elden went off too....Hope the poor things okay."

"He's probably off to find food of his own, I mean animals aren't allowed in restaurants are they?" Seth said thinking.

"I feel kinda bad now... I know I'll get him something really nice! Maybe a collar." Loshya said before taking another bite of her food.

"You really love that fox, huh?" Seth asked before taking another bite of his food too.

"Yes." Loshya replied with a smile.

"I can tell, what kind of collar do you want to get him?" Seth asked curiously as he took another bite of his food.

"Hmmm maybe one that looks like... A royal fox's collar!" Loshya said with a laugh.

Seth chuckled, "Sounds nice, we can look for one after we eat." He said continuing to eat.

"hehe yay!" Loshya said as she continued eating.

Seth chuckled at Loshya and continued eating.

"Kehehehe....I think you'd look good with collar choker!" Loshya said looking over Seth.

"What, am I your pet now too?" Seth asked with a raised brow.

"No of course not! I just think you'd look good with one...In fact you could be a singer!" Loshya replied happily.

Seth blinked, "R-Really?" He said slightly surprised.

"Yep! Oh and I could be your manger or co-star hehehe!" Loshya replied looking happy as can be.

"I wouldn't mind that." Seth said with a smile.

"*sigh* but there probably aren't that many places that would hire us right now." Loshya replied pouting a bit.

"Yeah, with the way things are they probably won't." Seth said with a nod as he finished his salad.

Loshya finished eating. "Well if we wow them with our talent enough....." Loshya began to trail off.

"Then what?" Seth asked looking at Loshya.

"We'd be burned at the stake for having such amazing talent..." Loshya said plainly.

Seth chuckled, "They'd have to catch us first."

Loshya smiled. "True...hehe but I don't know if our career would survive." Loshya replied as she finished her food.

"Yeah, I guess so." Seth said thinking.

"Hmmm but that does beg the question...What should we do to make money?" Loshya said thinking.

"Maybe I could be a cook." Seth said with a shrug.

"Hmmm then what should I be?" Loshya thought out loud.

"You could be a hostess or a waitress." Seth suggested.

"Maybe... But I don't really like people enough." Loshya whispered.

"You could be Valet and go through their car and steal their valuables." Seth suggested with a smile.

"Hehaha maybe... But wouldn't someone catch on?" Loshya asked.

"Not if you replace their stuff with cheap replicas." Seth said with a smirk.

"True....Hehehe but..don't you think that would get boring after awhile." Loshya said.

"True... Well after it gets boring we could always dissect them." Seth said.

"Okay." Loshya blushed. "_{We are in this together.}

"Huh? I didn't quite catch that last part." Seth said leaning forward slightly.

"Oh I was just talking to myself." Loshya replied turning more pink.

"Oh, alright then." Seth said not convinced but deciding to let it go for now.

Loshya smiled. "You're making a funny face."

"Am I?" Seth said blinking.

"You where... hehe." Loshya replied as she got up.

"What'd it look like?" Seth asked as he got up too.

Loshya made a funny face that looked like she was trying to glare but got something in her eye. "Kinda like that."

Seth chuckled, "That is a funny face."

"I told you." Loshya replied heading for the door.

Seth paid the woman by the door for their dinner before walking outside.

Loshya smiled and looked around outside. "Elden!"

Elden was sitting by the door, he let out a little yip and wagged his tail as he ran over to Loshya and Seth.

Seth chuckled as he saw Elden run over to her.

"Hey boy!" Loshya said as she started petting him. "Such a good boy."

Elden yipped happily and wagged his tail as he licked Loshya's hand.

Seth chuckled softly.

"You got something to eat didn't you?" Loshya asked.

Elden nodded his head and wagged his tail before going over to Seth and looking up at him curiously.

"What?" Seth asked as he looked down at Elden who bag to whine and wag his tail.

"He wants you to pet him." Loshya said with a snicker.

"Oh..." Seth said before kneeling down and petting Elden who wagged his tail and licked his hand..

Loshya chuckled as she watched them. "So much for wanting to dissect him." She whispered to Seth.

"How can I when you love him so much." Seth said, he blushed slightly.

"Thank you, but I think you might like...at least a little." Loshya replied.

Seth sighed, "Well he's ok."

Loshya laughed as she hugged Seth. "Hehe just okay?... You're cute Sethie!"

"Fine, I like the fox." Seth said blushing as she called him Sethie.

"Ohh your fun to hug." Loshya stated as she hugged him a bit tighter.

"Th-Thanks..." Seth said blushing brighter.

"Your cheeks are warm...or are mine..Oh no your not getting sick are you?" Loshya asked as she put her forehead to his. "Hmm your forehead seems fine..."

"N-No, I'm f-fine..." Seth said his face beet red.

At that moment a drunk woman passed by and stumbled knocking into Loshya causing both her and Seth to fall to the ground with Loshya on top of Seth.

'O.O Oh god did my lips just touch his?! I... I should get up!" Loshya thought but was to stunned to move for a bit. "I'm sooooo sorry!!" She said as she jumped back.

'D-Did our lips touch... Th-That was my first kiss...' Seth thought his face completely red, "I-It's ok... It was an accident." He said sitting up.

'I... I've never kissed anyone... Rrrr I'm going to kill that drunkered! What did the drunk look like though.' Loshya thought her face was completely red, she was trying to cover it with her hands, but was failing.

Seth began to laugh at Loshya's attempt to cover her face.

"Wha... What are you laughing about?!" Loshya asked face still red.

"I just had my first kiss because a drunk woman knocked us over." Seth said still laughing.

"Tha... That was your first kiss too......... That drunk is going down." Loshya replied getting up and looking around. "Where'd she go!" She hissed not seeing the woman.

"I don't really mind my first kiss being with you." Seth said, his face turned red and his hand flew to his mouth when he realized exactly what he said.

Loshya turned towards him. "I don't think I heard you right... Pfffft haha why are you covering your face?!"

"Wha-What did you think you heard?" Seth asked his face still bright red avoiding eye contact.

Loshya blushed, "Umm that you..uhh didn't mind kissing me...."

"Oh... Well then you heard right... I... I don't need to repeat it." Seth said still avoiding eye contact.

Loshya blushed. "Well I don't mind either... So what does that mean?"

"I-I guess we like each other as more than just friends..." Seth said blushing.

"Oh..... Are we married then?" Loshya asked looking at Seth with big questioning eyes.

Seth chuckled, "No, it means we have an attraction to each other... I think it's called a crush..." Seth said thinking.

"Okay.... Hmmm maybe we should get a book on this topic." Loshya said looking at a book store.

"Maybe, cause I don't know much about it." Seth said as he got up and headed for the store.

"Alright." Loshya replied following beside him.

"Should we ask what book we need?" Seth asked curiously as the reached the door and he opened it.

"We should look for ourselves!" Loshya said quickly as her face got red.

Seth chuckled, "Alright." He said holding the door open for her.

Loshya walked in and looked around. "Nice...and huge."

"Yeah... What section do you think it'd be in..." Seth asked.

"Hmm education maybe." Loshya replied looking around.

"Alright." Seth said heading towards that section.

"Dogs go bark" no... "Birds and the bees"?... No... Hey... Why aren't there that many historical books?" Loshya asked as she looked through a bookcase.

"I'm not sure... How about these?" Seth said pulling three books off the shelf one entitled 'Dating 101', one entitled 'What Is Love?' and one entitled 'How To Tell You're In Love'.

"Those should be perfect!" Loshya said happily.

"Alright, then let's buy them." Seth said.

Loshya walked with Seth to the counter her face got redder and redder the closer they got to check-out.

Seth set the books on the counter, his face a bit red.

"Hello." The red headed woman behind the counter said with a friendly smile as she scanned the books. "What are these for?"

"Just for some information." Seth said avoiding eye contact.

"It's for research for a school paper about mental understanding and reactions to specific things." Loshya said her face had returned to normal and her tone was quick but stable.

"Oh, well I hope you get a good grade. That'll be 15 dollars and seventy-two cents." The woman said with a smile sticking the books in a bag.

"Thank you." Seth said as he handed her the money.

Loshya quickly grabbed his hand and went outside with him. "Which one should we read first?"

"Hmm... How about 'What Is Love'." Seth suggested.

"Alright." Loshya replied as she pulled it out of the bag and opened it so they both could read.

Seth looked at the book over Loshya's shoulder.

"Hmmm...Oh!" Loshya blushed a bit as she read.

Seth cleared his throat a bit as he blushed in embarrassment as he read.

Loshya face blushed beet red. "Um...I think that's enough reading for right now."

"I-I agree." Seth said his face just as red as Loshya's.

"Lets go dissect someone." Loshya whispered to him with a smile.

"Sounds good to me." Seth said with a huge grin.

Loshya got up off the sidewalk and looked around. "Hmmm how about him?" She asked pointing at a teenage boy with a hoodie and headphones on.

"Perfect." Seth said with a grin.

Loshya smiled as she manipulated the shadows by the boy to make it look like a dog ran down the ally way and quickly ran that way. "Kiki, come back!"

"Huh was that your dog?" The boy asked pulling the headphones down.

"Ow... My ankle... Oh yes it is!" Loshya replied making it look like she injured her ankle running.

"I'll get it!" The boy replied with a smirk as he took off.

Seth watched rather amused, Loshya really did have amazing acting skills.

Loshya motioned Seth to come after as she blended into the shadows.

Seth smirked as he followed.

"Hmm? Kiki? come on out I don't bite....much... Hey where is that dog?" The boy asked himself as he looked around.

"Excuse me are you looking for something?" <b>Seth asked blocking the exit from the alley.

"Yeah some poor girl lost her doggy... But I don't see it... Huh? Maybe the dog and girl where ghosts." The boy said looking sad. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing interesting... So you say you saw a ghost?" Seth asked with a chuckle.

"I might of... I mean it's always possible... Huh?! did you see that?" The boy asked looking over at the shadows.

"See what?" Seth asked looking confused as he followed the boy's gaze.

It was Around where Loshya was but it would have been impossible for a human to tell she was there. "Hmm that was odd maybe I'm freaking myself out...hehe I should get going."

"I could help you find the dog." Seth said.

Elden walked into the alley whining and limping, he wasn't hurt and it looked like he winked at the shadows, but only Seth noticed.

"HUH! Kiki! Oh you poor thing you're injured!" The boy said going over towards Elden then looked half way back at Seth do you have anything to bandage him with?"

"I might." Seth said checking his pockets and finding a bandanna that he had stole from the last guy he had dissected. "Here." He said holding it out.

"Thanks!" The boy replied happily taking the bandanna and heading over to Elden.

"Daniel!! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?!!" A girl that was passing by barely noticed the boy and called.

Seth hissed softly when he heard the girl's voice.

Elden jumped slightly at the girl's voice and hid behind Seth.

"Huh? your weren't trying to steal someone's dog again where you?" The girl asked annoyed.

"No! I was helping find a girls dog!" Daniel replied Seth noticed Loshya give him a look as if to ask if they should still try to take these two on.

Seth gave her a look that said 'I'm up for it if you are'.

Loshya nodded and shifted behind the girl dagger to her throat.

"Lissa! What's going on?!" Daniel yelled as he looked at Seth to see his reaction.

Seth was right behind Daniel with one of Loshya's daggers in his hand while Elden stayed out of the way.

Daniel's eyes widened. "I'm sorry Lissa... I should have listened."

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!! YOU WONT BE ABLE TO HURT HIM ANY WAY!!" Lizza yelled as Loshya covered her mouth.

"Won't be able to hurt him, why's that?" Seth asked as he looked from the girl to Daniel.

Loshya barely uncovered Lizza's mouth. "One, he's a Zombie. Two I've done some changes to him."

"Oh, what kind of changes?" Seth asked curiously.

"I've made his skin stronger, so he wont rot, made it so he could think of more then just food.... Stuff like that." Lizza replied as Daniel gave a look of "My hero, your so amazing!!".

Seth pouted, "Well that's no fun, now I'm bored." He said plopping down in the middle of the alleyway.

"The girl might still be fun." Loshya offered.

"Leave Lizza alone! She did test on herself too!" Daniel demanded.

"Maybe we should find someone else." Seth said with a sigh as Elden came over to him and licked his cheek.

Loshya tossed Lizza aside and Daniel quickly caught her and took off as he yelled. "Thanks for playing with me!"

"*sigh* I'm sorry... I thought that would be a good one." Loshya said disappointingly.

"It's ok, I did too." Seth said with a pout as he watched them leave.

"Hmmm...What now?" Loshya asked sitting down beside him.

"Do you want to read more of that book?" Seth asked blushing slightly.

"Okay." Loshya replied as she got it out and scooted closer to Seth.

Seth blushed a little more at their closeness.

"Okay chapter three." Loshya said as she opened the book to the right chapter.

Seth nodded as he read over Loshya's shoulder.

"Umm making contact is important according to this so um..." Loshya didn't finish but she moved closer to where her leg was against Seth's.

Seth blushed, "Th-That is what it says."

"Okay, you read this next one!" Loshya said blushing.

"When in love, the couple or lovers show affection in public by holding hands or kissing..." Seth read his face turning even redder.

Loshya blushed and nodded. "Ok Um... When in love, the lovers will often share secrets and talk about their lives, to keep a deep re..relat..relationship."

"Y-You want me to read the next part?" Seth asked nervously.

"Y..Yes." Loshya replied blushing.

"When both partners are ready they will consummate their relationship with... S... Sex." Seth said his face turning beet red.

Loshya fell back before jumping up and covering Seth's mouth her face was almost glowing red. "ST..STOP READING!!"

Seth blinked, his face still beet red. He couldn't really say anything with his mouth covered, and it wasn't like he wanted to.

Loshya uncovered his mouth and took the book out of his hand and back into her bag. "We... We didn't just read that.

"I... I agree..." Seth said with a nod.

"Umm...I can't really read that well..." Loshya said blushing.

"Really?" Seth said looking at Loshya.

"Y... Yes... It's kinda embarrassing." Loshya stated looking away and blushing from embarrassment.

"It's ok, I can read so if you need help just ask." Seth said smiling slightly.

"Thanks... Hmm we should probably get out of here... Just in case that Zombie told the police." Loshya said getting up and offered Seth a hand.

Seth nodded as he took Loshya's hand and got up with her help.

"Oh I know where we are... Come on there is a cool place by here... It's an old opera house!" Loshya said hold his hand as she took off.

Seth blushed as he followed Loshya with a smile.

Liden:

---

"Bang." *Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang* "You're dead." Liden said boredly to a crazed werewolf now dead on the ground."*sigh* There's gotta be somethin better to do around 'ere."

Liden suddenly heard the sound of a trash can falling over and a small whimper.

Liden spun around gun first... "Fun?"

There was another small whimper and the sound of something trying to move.

"Wha the 'ell." Liden said as he moved the trash can with his foot.

A little girl with short brown hair around five years old looked up at him, she backed up to the wall behind her with a terrified look on her face and a small cut on her cheek and right leg.

"Huh a girl?" Liden put the gun away."Hey kid! I a'nt goingta hurt cha."

"I-Is it dead mister?" The little girl asked looking past Liden and at the werewolf which had been chasing her.

Liden shot it one last time in the head. "Yep..it's dead. So you the thing it was after."

The little girl nodded timidly, "I need to see if Papa is ok..." She said trying to stand, but winced in pain and fell back down.

"Papa? Uh oh hold still for sec kid." Liden said as he bent down and looked at her knee the to his red bandanna.

"What are you doing mister?" The girl asked pulling her leg away.

"Bandaging your leg... *Sigh* bring you leg back out kid!" Liden said grumpily as he untied his bandanna.

The girl hesitantly put her leg back out for Liden to bandage.

Liden pulled a small first-aid kit out of his pocket. "This will sting a bit." He said as he gently rubbed a wet cloth over the wound before tying the bandanna around her leg.

The girl winched a little in pain as tears formed.

Liden looked up for a sec. "Sigh chew on this while I take care of your cheek." He said handing her a chocolate cookie.

The girl stared at the cookie for a second and hesitated taking it until her stomach growled, "Thank you."

"Mm Hmm" is all Liden bothered to do as a reply. He gently and carefully cleaned the wound and bandage it. "There...Now what the 'eck do ya think ya where doin?!"

"Me and Papa was just walking home when that thing attacked us... PAPA!" The girl yelled trying to get up again.

"Wait your injured you shouldn't get up." Liden said as he picked her up. "*Sigh* I guess I'll be your legs..tell me where to go."

"That way." The girl said pointing to the left after thinking for a moment.

Liden turned left, he was running fast even for someone without a gun and a girl to carry.

"PAPA!" The girl shouted as she saw a man lying on his side on the side of the road.

Liden set her down but didn't let go. "Stay 'ere." he said then let go as he ran over to the man. 'D*** they where being chased by a werewolf, it's quite possible that he is chow or infected.'

"Papa?!" The girl said making the old man who obviously was her grandfather stir.

"Abigail?" The old man groaned in pain trying to move so he could see her.

"Don't move...She's fine." Liden said checking the mans wounds. 'D*** this is bad...I don't know if my S**ty first-aid kit is gonna cut it.'

"Leave me, I'm going to die..." The old man whispered so Abigail couldn't hear him.

"I'm sorry... I can't... Your grand-daughter needs you." Liden said pulling out a sewing kit. 'Maybe.... Just maybe I can do this... hehe I'm kidding myself... But still I'll dream a bit longer.'

"I know she needs me, but I've lost too much blood already and I can't move..." The old man said in a soft voice.

"Do you 'ave a wife?" Liden quickly asked trying to get as much information as he could before the man dies.

"She died before Abigail was born." The man said.

"Oh... I see... Do you 'ave any relatives?" Liden asked. 'Oh please say yes! I don't want some kid!'

"I'm sorry, her parents are dead... Her father was killed before she was born by that same werewolf." The old man said.

"I...I'll take care of her...can't promise she'll turn out normal though." Liden said as he got up. "Rest in peace." He whispered as he walked over to Abby and picked her back up. "He'll be seeing you in the future."

"Thank you." The old man said as a tear slid down his cheek and everything started to go dark.

"Why can't he come now? PAPA!" Abigail shouted trying to get down so she could go over to the man.

"He just can't... He wants to... But he cant so it's not fair of you to call him." Liden said.

"What does that mean? I don't understand!" Abigail said tears forming in her eyes as she continued to struggle.

"Abbs..er Abby you'll understand when you're older... Ow! Come on... Stop moving around so much!" Liden said trying his best to not get hit by Abigail.

Abigail suddenly froze, "Is... Is papa going where mommy and daddy went?"

Liden didn't reply for a while. "....I'm sorry." 'I should have been able to help him....'

Abigail said nothing as she buried her head in Liden's chest and began to cry.

Liden placed a hand on her head as he carried her.

Abigail continues to cry, she was crying so much that she started to hiccup.

"Lets get ya some water." Liden said walking towards a nearby store. 'Man, I'm the worst person to have baby-sittin ya.... I shouldn't have come to this dumb town.'

Abigail sniffled as she hiccuped again.

Liden got a tissue from his pocket. "'ere blow your nose." He said as he put it lightly to her nose.

Abigail nodded as she blew her nose into the tissue.

"Take my hand." Liden said setting her down so they could go inside.

Abigail nodded and took Liden's hand as she sniffled her eyes puffy and red.

Liden went inside the store and went to get some water. 'I feel pretty bad for Abby... but 'ow the 'ack am I supposed to raise her! I don't know anything about normal kids!'

Abigail followed Liden as she held his hand.

Liden stopped in front of a stuffed animal after buying the water. "Want one?"

Abigail looked over and pointed at a stuffed brown bunny, "That one."

Liden smiled as he got it and bought it for her. "'ere's your rabbit an water."

"Thank you." Abigail said taking the rabbit and the water.

"Uh huh." Liden replied opening the door for Abigail.

Abigail walked out while drinking some of her water.

Liden was quickly following behind her not saying anything though.

Abigail stopped so Liden could catch up, she grabbed his hand and started walking again, "So what's your name mister?"

"Huh?! Oh um it's Liden Lansin." Liden replied.

"Nice to meet you Liden." Abigail said as she hugged the bunny tighter.

"Want me to carry you again?" Liden asked try to think of what Abigail might like.

"Alright." Abigail said turning towards Liden.

Liden picked Abigail up and placed her on his shoulder."B..be careful not to fall."

"I will." Abigail said with a nod as she hugged her bunny.

"Oh and No giving me nick-names. Kay?" Liden said as he walked.

"Why not?" Abigail asked curiously.

"I don't like them...besides people make odd nick-names for the name Liden."Liden explained.

"You mean liked Den... Or Dee?" Abigail asked giggling.

"See..That's why I don't do nicknames, Abby." Liden said with a smirk.

"Yeah, it is hard to come up with a good one for you... I could call you big brother." Abigail said smiling.

"Would I 'ave to call you lil sister, then?" Liden asked.

"If you want, if not Abby's fine." Abigail said with a giggle.

"Okay, Lil Abby." Liden said with a smirk.

Abigail giggled, "That's ok too."

Liden opened a door to a cabin. "'Ome, Sweet home. I'll make ya a bed." He said as he set her down in a messy living room and headed for a door.

"Ok." Abigail said as she looked around some.

The cabin was messy all over, clothes and blankets on the floor, along with books, paper plates, paper cups, and there was some food left on a plate on the table, the food didn't look to tasty.

'Jeez it's messy.' Abigail thought as she set her bunny down and began to clean up a little.

"kay I...What are ya doin?" Liden asked looking down at her with confusion.

"It's too messy in here." Abigail said as she threw the half eaten food away.

"Well it's my mess...I'll clean it!" Liden said as he grabbed some of the trash and threw it away.

"It's ok, I used to help papa clean all the time." Abigail said, but froze as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hey Kiddo you've cried enough for the both of us today." Liden said as he ruffled her hair a bit.

Abigail looked up at Liden, then hugged his leg.

Liden picked her up to give her an actual hug. 'Huh I don't think I've ever had a hug before.'

Abigail hugged Liden as she sniffled trying not to cry again.

Liden carried her into a room and set her down on a bed. "Why don't cha get some rest..Oh uhh kids like stories right?"

"I forgot my bunny on the couch." Abigail said trying to get off the bed.

"I'll get it...you stay 'ere." Liden said heading out.

Abigail nodded as she curled up on the bed.

Liden came back in and set the stuffed animal next to her, he had a book in his hand 'The wonders of weapons!' was written on it. "I...think this can be a kids book."

Abigail hugged the bunny and gave Liden a look, "You're not used to kids are you?"

"Ha why do ya say that?" Liden asked not making eye contact.

"Because that's not something most kids want read to them." Abigail replied giggling.

"Hey I read this when I was a kid! *Sigh* Okay." Liden got up and walked to a bookcase. "Here "Alice in Dreamland"..that's a child's book. We also have Alice in wonderland."

"Alice In Wonderland is my favorite!" Abigail said smiling happily.

"Kay." Liden replied as he sat down beside her. "Okay chapter one." He began.

Abigail smiled and hugged her bunny tighter, it wasn't long til she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Liden tucked her in, after marking the page. "Night, night kiddo." He whispered as he turned off the light and went to leave the room.

Suddenly was a soft knock on Liden's front door.

"Gah! what now!" Liden said to himself as he he went to the door and opened it. "Yes."

"We're sorry to bother you, but our children are missing and we were wondering if you've seen them." A young woman with blue hair and blue eyes said as the man with purple hair and eyes next to her held out a picture of two teenage boys.

Liden looked at the pic. 'This people are probably vampires or some other odd race... So it wouldn't be hard to find them... In a normal town.' "I haven't... Sorry... But I do look for people from time-to-time."

"Do you think you could help us find our sons?" The woman asked with hopeful eyes.

"*sigh* I guess... It wont cost unless I find them." Liden stated looking back to make sure they aren't being to loud.

"How much?" The man asked looking Liden over curiously.

"Hmmmm....It would normally be fifty... But now I have Abby...a hundred...not much." Liden replied mainly talking to himself.

"That'll be fine." The man said with a nod.

"Yes, as long as we get our sons back we don't care." The woman said as the man wrapped an arm around her.

Liden smiled a bit. "Alright please have a seat... Just need to know a bit about your sons." he said as he held the door for them. 'Thank god I cleaned.'

"Alright, what do you need to know?" The man asked as he and his wife stepped inside.

"Mainly their behavior patterns... What they would act like apart from one another." Liden replied sitting on an over used love seat across from a couch which he motioned them to.

"They are never apart, if they were they'd break down... Oh! You don't think they're apart do you?!" The woman exclaimed suddenly frightened.

"Calm down, I'm sure they're together and just fine." The man said trying to calm her.

"I'm sure they'd stay together then.... How do they act around strangers?" Liden asked before looking towards the bed room door. 'D*** she got pretty loud...hope that didn't wake Abby.'

"They're really shy and they hate strangers." The woman said looking distraught.

Abigail made a soft groan from the bedroom and there was a sound of her turning over on the bed.

Liden quickly cracked the door to make sure she was asleep.

Abigail nuzzled into the bed still sound asleep.

"Oh I'm sorry, is there someone sleeping?" The woman asked as she watched Liden.

"Yeah it's fine..." Liden said sitting back down. "Hmm so your sons would probably try and avoid people?"

"Yeah, most likely. They were bullied as children and don't trust others." The woman said with a nod.

"Hmm alright two more questions. One if I find them... How can I contact you, Two what sorta person would they be around if they did try to interact with people?" Liden asked.

"They'd probably be around people who are shy and calm like they are." The man said.

"Oh, and don't worry, we'll know when you find them... Oh we never told you our names or our sons' names, do you need to know?" The woman asked.

"Yeah the names would be helpful." Liden replied.

"I'm Clair and this is my husband Caleb, our sons' names are Gabriel and Logan." Clair said with a smile.

"Alright, It was nice meeting you Clair, Caleb. I'll try my best to find your sons." Liden replied with a slight smile.

"Thank you so much sir!" Clair said with a smile.

"We should know your name too sir." Caleb said.

"Oh sorry, Liden Lansin." Liden replied.

"Thank you for offering your help Liden." Caleb said standing. "We'll take our leave now."

"Yes, thank you." Clair said as she stood up as well.

"No problem." Liden replied. 'Please just leave... It's a pain to talk like this.'

Caleb and Clair bowed to Liden before showing themselves out of his cabin.

Liden lay down on the couch. "And 'ere I thought it might get peaceful."

Abigail came out of the bedroom and got on top of Liden and snuggled up to him and mumbled 'bad dream' before promptly falling asleep again.

'She's so tiny...she kinda reminds me of a kitten' Liden thought as he patted her on the head gently.

Abigail nuzzled Liden's chest in her sleep.

'You're such a fuzzy little ball of love aint cha?' Liden thought as he started to doze off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"*yawn* Ummff..Huh?! Oh right Abby." Liden whispered as he noticed Abigail had moved up and now had her head under his chin.

Abigail moved slightly but didn't wake up, she nuzzled Liden's chest.

'What the H*** kid! I cant move... How can you even sleep this long?! I'm going to became a statue!' Liden thought as he looked around the room for something to wake her up with.

Abigail made a soft noise as she began to wake up.

"Ya awake yet?" Liden asked looking down at her. 'That was actually kinda cute.'

Abigail slowly opened her eyes, "I'm awake." She said sleepily rubbing here eyes.

"No, no don't rub your eyes like that it isn't good for you." Liden said as he wiped the "Sand" away from her eyes with one figure. "There all gone."

"Thank you Liden." Abigail said giving him a sleepy smile.

"Uh huh. *Yawn* are you 'ung'ry?" Liden asked.

Abigail was about to answer when her stomach growled, she blushed and buried her face in Liden's chest.

"Alright I'll wipe somep'in up." Liden said picking her up so he could get up then setting her back down on the couch.

"Ok." Abigail said yawning slightly as she hugged her bunny.

Liden walked over to a want-to-be-kitchen, that had only a hot-plate a microwave and a small fridge. "Pan-cakes..."

Abigail looked around and kicked her feet as she sat on the couch.

After awhile Liden came back with some pan-cakes. "'Ere ya go kiddo." he placed a plate in front of her before grabbing a note book, a pencil, and some colored pencils.

"Thank you Liden." Abigail said smiling as she ate the pancakes.

Liden didn't reply he was busy drawing and eating.

Abigail watched Liden draw as she ate.

After some time Liden seemed to be done with his drawing of two young men.

"Who are they?" Abigail asked curiously as she looked at the picture.

"Oh some kids I..er..we 'ave to find." Liden replied as he took the plate to wash it.

"Are they lost?" Abigail asked looking at the picture.

"Yes, and their parents hired me earlier." Liden replied.

"So that was the noise I heard?" Abigail said kicking her feet.

"Probably... The mother got pretty depressed a few times." Liden replied.

"She must really miss them." Abigail said humming.

"Probably...I don't really know... But they asked me to find them so they must miss them at least a little." Liden replied as he tried to tie a tie.

"Then we should help find them." Abigail said with a smile.

"Yep.... We're getting a hundred bucks!" Liden said smiling before adding. "Grab a suitcase you like... I'll buy you some cloths on the way out of town."

"Alright." Abigail said going to look at the suitcases, she chose a black one with a white stripe going down the side.

Liden threw a bag over his shoulder. "Okay lets go."

"Ok." Abigail said after sticking her bunny in the suitcase before she took Liden's hand.

Liden lead her to a clothing store. "Choose the clothes you like."

"Ok!" Abigail said as she looked at the clothes, she picked out a white dress with pink polka dots. "What do you think?"

"Cute....But I'm going to teach you to fight...so get some pants out shorts too." Liden said almost smiling.

"Ok." Abigail said looking through the pants and shirts and picking some out.

"Alright... I also found these boots for you." Liden said holding up a pair of black sheen-high hiking boots.

"I like them." Abigail said smiling as she looked at them.

"Okay." Liden replied smiling as he put them in a basket.

"There's um... One more thing I need." Abigail said kind of nervously.

"Huh? What's that?" Liden asked.

Abigail blushed slightly, _{"Underwear..."} She mumbled.

"Oh....OH! Okay Umm...Over... 'ere." Liden said taking her over to the underwear and looked away.

Abigail picked out a pack of underwear and tossed them in the basket, "Ok, I'm done."

"Okay... Lets go to check out then." Liden said taking her hand and heading to check out."

"Ok." Abigail said smiling as she followed Liden.

"Good evening." The woman at the check out counter said with a friendly smile.

"Evenin." Liden replied placing the clothes on the counter.

"Hi." Abigail said with a cute little smile.

"Aw, is she your daughter?" The woman asked as she spotted Abigail holding Liden's hand.

"Ahh?! Oh... Umm... She's oh well I'm... Her guardian." Liden said looking at Abigail.

Abigail smiled up at Liden.

"Oh, well she's absolutely adorable." The woman said ringing up the clothes.

"<///< Thank you."Liden replied quietly. 'Why did I say thank you?'

"You're welcome." The woman said with a smile as she rang up the last thing. "Ok, that'll be twenty-eight dollars and sixty-two cents."

Liden quickly paid and headed out. "Have a good evenin."

"You too." The woman called as they walked out.

"She was really nice." Abigail said smiling.

"It's her job." Liden replied.

"So does that mean she's not always nice?" Abigail asked curiously.

"She might be...but you never know, she could be mean." Liden replied as they walked.

"Don't easily trust someone, got it!" Abigail said with a nod.

Liden looked down at Abigail and smiled as he ruffled her hair a bit. "Kay, my van should be around 'ere." He said as he looked around then walked over to a van.

Abigail followed Liden still holding his hand.

Liden let go of her hand. "Umm hop in.... Are kids allowed to drive?"

"I can't even reach the peddles." Abigail said giving Liden a look like he was crazy.

Liden slapped himself then yawned as he got in the drivers seat, "Sorry kiddo... Wasn't thinking okay hop in shot-gun."

Abigail giggled and nodded and got in the other side.

"Buckle up, kiddo." Liden said as he moved a panel and High-jacked the Car.

"Ok." Abigail said as she buckled her seat belt.

"Ere we go nice ol purr." Liden said as he started driving. "I'll teach you how to do that little trick when you get older."

"Alright." Abigail said smiling.

"So Abby, when you get older do you want to learn hand-to-hand or how to use a gun?" Liden asked with a grin as he drove.

"Hand-to-hand, Papa said guns were bad." Abigail said.

"Okay... I'm better with guns but I can teach you hand-to-hand... We'll start soon." Liden replied.

"Alright." Abigail said smiling as she began to hum.

"Your pretty easy-going, ain't cha?" Liden said. 'At least she isn't whining or complaining.'

"Papa used to say we shouldn't complain or whine about things when they get hard cause it won't help anything." Abigail said.

"Sounds like what my father told me once..." Liden replied.

"Really?" Abigail asked looking at Liden.

"Yeah... I was crying because my dad had me carry this 'eally big an heavy rock up a steep rocky mountain. Then my dad asked "Did anything happen when you cried?" hehehe nope the cry just got me more worn out!" Liden said with a smile.

"Yeah, my papa said that all the time when I cried." Abigail said.

"Hmm Parents teach really good lessons." Liden replied as he sped up.

"They do." Abigail agreed with a giggle.

There was a tall man with dark purple hair standing in the road. with his back to the van Liden was driving.

"LIDEN LOOK OUT!" Abigail yelled when she saw the man.

Liden Hit the breaks stopping a few feet in front of the man. "F***** idiot." He muttered to himself. "Wait here, Abby." He said unbuckling.

"O-Ok." Abigail said with a nod.

The man turned around, he had a cigarette in his mouth. 'I didn't know someone would be driving around.'

"Umm are ya okay?" Liden asked as he looked the man over. 'Is this guy going for a creepy look?'

"Yeah, I didn't know someone would be driving around at this hour." The man said looking Liden over before taking a drag from his cigarette.

"Okay...can ya move off the road?" Liden ask.

The man shrugged as he put out his cigarette before moving to the side off of the road not taking his eyes off of Liden, "There."

"Thanks." Liden replied as he got back in the van still keeping an eye on the guy. "Ya still buckled kiddo?"

"Yeah, but what about that guy?" Abigail asked as she looked at the man from her window.

"What about em?...he said he was fine." Liden as he high-jacked the van again.

"But what if he's lost or something?" Abigail asked as she rolled down the window. "HEY MISTER!" She called.

The man raised an eyebrow as he walked over to her window, "Yes little girl?"

"Are you lost?" Abigail asked curiously.

"No, I'm just looking for someone." The man said.

"Maybe we can help you." Abigail said before turning to Liden. "Do you think we can help him too like we're helping that couple who lost their children?"

Liden brought a hand to the bridge of his nose. "*Sigh* why not....Who are ya lookin for?"

"His name is Alan, but I haven't seen him since he was twelve." The man said.

"Why haven't you seen him?" Abigail asked.

"I was chased out of the town because I'm a vampire." The man said.

"Vampire... Hmm yeah some towns are tryin to stay undead free... It gets pretty ugly sometimes." Liden said as he opened the door for the man.

"I'll say." The man said with a slight smirk which was hidden as he got in and gone before he sat down.

"Buckle up.... Do you have any idea where Alan bit be?" Liden asked.

"No unfortunately." The man said buckling up.

"I'm Abigail and this is my guardian Liden." Abigail said turning to look at the man.

"I'm Malik." Malik said.

"Nice to meet ya." Liden said but didn't seem to care either way. As he drove along the road. "If ya had to make a guess?"

"Well I did hear the government is recruiting soldiers, Alan's always been a good kid so maybe he'd join." Malik said with a smile.

When Malik said government Liden looked sick."Government" he moaned. "*sigh* I know where one is i's about a day in 'alf away."

"If you take me and help me find him I'll pay you well." Malik said.

There was a slight glint in Liden's eyes.'"Pay well" It has been awhile since I've been to a restaurant.... AND I CAN GET ABBY NEW CLOTHS and other stuff kiddos need!!' "Okay ya got a deal!"

Malik chuckled, "Then we all agree."

Abigail giggled.

*Vrrrrrrrrrr vrrrrrrrrrr* "D*** phone.." Liden mumbled as he reached in his jacket pocket and pulled out an old cell phone. "Yello?.........Aghhh I'm working right now........... *Smirk* you have a granddaughter!" He quickly hang up looking very happy.

"Who was that Liden?" Abigail asked curiously.

"My old man..." Liden replied.

"Your daddy?" Abigail asked.

"Yep... _{annoying old coot}" Liden replied his face had returned to his usual look.

"Do you not like your daddy?" Abigail asked.

"He... He's 'ard to please." Liden replied.

"He's not mean to you is he?" Abigail asked.

"My dad was hard to please too." Malik said from the back.

"Ha guess it's the dad's job.... Oh he... Hmmm." Liden thought for a bit. "He trained me when I was younger so I could join the army... But I never really liked the idea... Too many rules."

"Yes, way too many." Malik said with a hidden smirk.

"Rules are annoying... And get in the way of fun~!.... Oops Uhh but Abby ya still need to follow the rules I set down... Wait... I don't think I've made any rules yet." Liden said with a slight blush of embarrassment 

Abigail giggled, "That's ok Liden, you can tell me the rules now."

Malik chuckled.

"Hmmm No ya don't really do that any ways... Uh... Wait, no your too young to date anyway.... I know! Ya not allowed to go off by ya self." Liden said seeming proud of that one rule.

"Alright." Abigail said smiling.

"You're not used to dealing with kids are you?" Malik asked with a chuckle. 'This guy is so clueless.'

"I'm new to people." Liden replied half joking.

"Well the other rule you should give her is to not talk to or trust strangers, what if I was some psycho and had yanked her from the van?" Malik asked.

"Would have shot ya..but good point...did ya get that Abby?" Liden ask.

'Like that would've done anything to me.' Malik thought as he rolled his eyes.

"Got it!" Abigail said with a nod and a smile.

"ahhh and 'ere we are." Liden said parking by a gate.

"WOW! It's so big!" Abigail said as she looked at the building.

Malik chuckled, "It is."

"Yep..."Liden said as he walked up to some guards. "Hello..I'm Max Landers son." He pulled out an Id as he said this."I've came to take a look around, and see if some missing kids ended up here."

"I see... So your playing Detective... You're lucky your dad is so Liked and was such a good worker." The guard said giving the signal to open the gate.

Abigail smiled as she took Liden and Malik's hands in her own.

Malik looked down at Abigail with a raised brow.

Liden glanced at Abby before leading the way.
