It was around ten when I was rudely awakened by my brother Chris "Abby get up" he shook my hard I didn't want to get up yet I was sure it was only like 8:00am "Get up" he was getting extremely annoying I rolled over "What?!" I questioned looking quite miffed "It's 10am" he laughed and smacked me upside the head not that I minded it was never very hard just playful sibling rivalry he acted like he was so big and tough he was only a few minutes older then me I attempted to smack him back but he jumped away and ran out of my room, rolling over on my back staring up at my black ceiling decorated with purple swirls, my favorite colors being black and purple most of my room was covered in that color, sitting up in the middle of the bed and swinging my legs out from under my purple comforter, stretching I stood up and moved towards the door, looking in the mirror on my wall as I passed by I straightened my hair a bit even if I was just going down for breakfast I wanted to look halfway decent, tucking my hair behind my ears I decided why bother I wasn't out to impress anyone I looked a lot like dad red skin and all my brother though looked a lot more like mom sometimes I envied him but I was proud for what I was with that final though I left my room and descended the stairs and into the kitchen.

I made myself some toast and eggs and bacon which took a little longer then I thought it would sitting down in a kitchen chair next to my brother I looked around making sure mom was no where insight, Chris looked at me funny "You're going give another egg to that dog aren't you" I just grinned broadly and replied with a happy "Yep" then I called him what dad refers to as the beast because my dog chased his cats up trees and all around the house "Ben!" I yelled "Come get some nummys" the happy Saint Bernard bounded threw the house from the living room into the kitchen and came to a halt right in front of me I petted him and fed him his egg I always cooked three two for me and one for him and I almost got away with it this time if mom hadn't came in "Abby, what have I told you about giving you're food away to the dog" she looked at me sternly and I came up with a compelling argument "Well mom I don't consider him as just a dog I consider him a family member and one that should have every right to our food as anyone in the house"I bent down and put my arms around him "And besides look at the cute little face " Ben who was currently slobbering and dirty didn't exactly look so cute right then, but she didn't fall for it this time anyway "This is you're last warning I catch you feeding that dog stuff that isn't dog food you're going to be grounded" I sighed defeated no one could win a war with mom it was basically impossible in my mind "I'm going out to walk him here in a minute after I get changed anyhow" I turned heel and walking back upstairs.

I reappeared dressed finally after deciding what to wear I just threw on a light tan T-shirt which looked horrible compared to my red skin may I add I now know why dad wears black a lot, and a pair of ordinary blue jeans and my sneakers, grabbing Ben's leash off a nail by the kitchen door I went threw the living room and called for him clipping one end to his collar I opened the door he bounded out into the bright hot sun of the morning dragging me along with him "Ben heel!" he slowed down a bit and I was about to catch my breath inhaling deeply I looked out over the land dad had picked a perfect spot to live it was nice and secluded lot's of forest and such mountains I started towards the back of the house ben now walking calmer next to me I didn't know exactly where dad was this morning probably out in the woods somewhere or doing something in the garage, after I and Ben got a little ways into the woods we started down a trail the trail we usually took,we both loved the forest in the summer all the sweat smells the flowers the pretty green trees after awhile up ahead I noticed something I usually don't a side trail leading deeper into the woods I know I shouldn't dad had warned me that there could be magical creatures in the woods not that I was scared not all were bad anyway's just the ones he use to fight, I and ben startled down the small trail deep into the forest branches picked at my clothes and skin as we walked down the hardly used path, stumbling down a steep slope we came to a river I put my hand in it it didn't look to deep and the water was still, Ben hopped into the water I fallowed in suit and waded up to my neck almost dang it was deeper then I thought I held onto Bens collar and helped him paddle across he instinctively went for the nearest way out which was on the opposite side of which we got in climbing out I rang out my clothes a bit before continuing.

My shoes felt all squishy and gross maybe that wasn't the best idea we went on a bit further into the green foliage until Ben started to growl and bark at something off to the side something moving about to the side of the trail I hunkered down low but ben didn't give up and pulled the leash out of my hands and bounded off into the bushes I didn't fallow until I heard a scream one that didn't sound like some creature I ran threw the bushes Ben had a girl down on the ground a pale faced white haired girl I quickly pulled him off of her "Oh my are you alright I'm so sorry he just pulled the leash right out of my hands" I looked around noticing a basket and some berries she must of been picking them I held my hand out to her "Oh it's alright" she said politely I helped her up and helped her pick up the berries all the while been just sat there looking like what did I do "My name Abby by the way" I smiled she told me her name "My name is Nuala" I shook her hand she let go of my hand slowly like she was shocked "You look familiar" she told me "But know that couldn't be that was almost 16 years ago" "What was " asking like I had known her forever I tend to do that to people a bad habit actually "Well It could be possible" she looked at me again inspecting me "Do you know anyone by the name Hellboy by any chance" she asked "as a matter of fact he's my father".
