Chapter 1

The Wanderer

''Next time you want a ride, try paying like everyone else,'' screamed the conductor. Tydoll scrambled to his feet, partially embarrassed he was caught so easily. He'd just been pulled off the top of the train, where he had spent the last 40 minutes. It wasn't his fault he was out of money. He needed to get to the exorcist headquarters as soon as possible. ''And next time I catch you pulling a stunt like that, I'll bring you to the cops.'' he threatened. ''Sorry but I'm in a hurry''. He started a hustled sprint, attempting to lose his pursuer. ''Hey! Get back here, you still didn't pay!'' By the time the furious, red-faced, man was done; Tydoll was already out of site.

The charcoaled haired teen came to a slowed stop as he soon realized he wasn't being followed. With a sigh of relief, he collapsed trying to regain his breath. ''Man'', he thought,'' as soon as I get there, I'll have to get in shape''. He started walking.'' I wonder if they have a tred—''. His thoughts were cut short as he bumped into someone. He looked up to see a white haired boy, probably his age, on the ground.

''S-sorry about that'', he said. '' It's alright'', said the boy. As he got up to leave, something got the attention of the dark – skin teen. He saw what looked like an exorcist golem. '' Come on Timcanpy'', the boy called. So that was his golem! Did that make him a…. ''Hey, are you an exorcist''. They boy looked surprised by the sudden outburst.'' N-no, well yes. Not officially. I was about go to the north headquarters to be fully appointed.'' ''Then you know where it is'', he said excitedly. ''Yes, if you need me to show you I cou— Ahhhhh.'' The white-haired teen was startled by something. Tydoll turned to see an obese cat with something yellow in its mouth.'' Tim'', he screamed. The kid ran after the cat. ''Hey, wait''. The exorcist was out of site.

Just my luck, he thought. I actually find someone who knows where it is and I loose 'em. '' What should I do now'', he said outloud. He continued to wonder aimlessly when he saw a young girl, almost half his height, was surrounded by a group of men in the middle of the street. ''what do you want'', the girl said in a high but fierce voice. '' come with us missy, our boss wanted to see you'', said the largest one. Probably the leader of the small group. '' he he he, don't worry I swear on my good name we won't hurt you'', said the small, imp like one. He was at least 2-foot 4. "But that's only if you cooperate." His eyes went downward. The biggest one put his hands on her shoulders and moved in closer. "N-no, stop. Help me, please."

In a flash, the overgrown man was on the floor. At this moment everyone was in a state of shock. "Sorry big guy, I don't think she's into ya." Now everyone directed their attention to the figure crouched on top of the limp body. Tydoll was now wearing a look of disgust. "Now leave." "Not a chance we're letting you leave after that." Tydoll was already alert when the flunky attempted to throw a punch. Tydoll caught his hand and twisted his arm. Hard . As he fell to the floor, the others started to reconsider the assault. They then grabbed their fallen companions and left. "U-um", Said a small voice. Tydoll had nearly forgotten the reason for the uproar. "Are you alright?"

He moved towered the brunet and noticed her uniform for the first time. "Thank you", she said. He had heard a tone different from before. Before, it was determined and filled with hate. Now it was almost as if she was scarred of him. "Hey you're a finder right." he said addressing her clothes. Surprised by the sudden statement, she only nodded her head. "Then you know where the northern base is from here." "Yes." She said in a low voice. "Great! Would you mind taking me there?" he asked. Again, she nodded yes. A smile grew from his face.

Lost in thought, he didn't notice her staring at him. She was curious. She felt mesmerized by the tall dark figure. When she broke away from her train of thought, he was so close to her face she could feel him breath, she started to blush. "Are you okay? You don't look to well." he put his hand on her head. The small girl turned scarlet. "I-I'm fine, um huh", she stammered. "Oh yeah. Sorry, my name is Tydoll. Tydoll Beats." he said with a grin. "Maria", she responded. At that, he drifted back into his subconscious.
