A/N: First story ever. Go easy on me ;).
What happens when Theresa has been missing for 5 months and suddenly reappears. Is a certain God of time behind it? Will she ever be the same?
Back for Good
The rain is pouring down on the young girl. Her unmistakable orange hair dripping and her clothes drenched with water. She is so tired. So hungry. So scared. She has been walking for days barley making into New Olympia. The cuts and bruises and dirt all over her body were catching the eyes of the 'everyday' folk passing by. She simply kept her head down, unsure of what the damage was there. She hasn't looked in a mirror in over a month.
A memory flooded her brain: "Hey foxy," one of the men came bursting into the room. I didn't reply.
"Hey I'm talking to you foxy," He repeated, adding a slap to the face this go around. I winced from pain and looked up only to see a smug look on his face. I could only ever see their mouths and faces. But that was enough to tell what they were thinking, feeling.
"Time for your monthly clean-up foxy." I quickly got to my feet. I never ever missed out on the opportunity to fix myself up a bit. Especially considering they only come around once a month.
She pushed the rest out, not wanting to remember any longer. She recognized the street she was on. Only three more blocks until she would be back home. She hasn't stopped in three days. The brownstone, actually the people occupying the brownstone was the only thing keeping her mobile. Alive even. She could see it now and would be running if she didn't hurt so much. Every step was agony but she was so close. She had done it. She made it home. For some reason though she hesitated at the door. She didn't know what was going to happen. For all she knew they could have moved or worse; be dead. Theresa had no idea how long she had been gone for. All she knew she was gone long enough for Cronus to make many attacks on her friends. Suddenly the overwhelming need to see Odie, Herry, Archie, Niel, Atlanta, and Jay took hold. She raised her arm and knocked on the door.
She waited for what seemed like hours but eventually the door swung open. She had just enough time to see that it was Herry who opened the door. His face was full of surprise and happiness all at once. But that was all Theresa got to see before the events over the past few days completely piled on her and fainted.
