Hey! I'm back and I'm going to start a new Fanfic, this time I'm going to read it back before just sending it out as is. So, Enjoy!

So, I wake up, get some toast for breakfast, go to school, go home, and spend the rest of the day in my room, staring at the wall. Sounds fun, right? Wrong. I only have one friend, and we barely even talk, let alone hang out with each other. My mom kept her promise and forced us to move to our uncle's farm in Virginia. My mom got a job almost immediately and my dad recovered from his sickness soon after, getting a job teaching not long after that. Boots got all sorts of friends within weeks of moving, and hell even Lizzy got some friends. It seems like everyone in the family adjusted quickly, except for me, of course. I'm pretty much the weirdest kid in school, I wear a long-sleeved shirt and jeans even in the one-hundred degree summers, and don't talk to anybody. The only thing keeping me sane is the picture of Her I keep in my pocket, and His claw hung around my neck. In fact, the only fight I've gotten into since we moved was when the only bully in school that wasn't insanely afraid of me grabbed His claw and stole the picture of Her, let's just say he got the shit kicked out of him and I got my stuff back. But other than that little, "incident" I've been keeping my rager sensation under control. I've even gotten to boasting to Lizzy about it, we still talk in the code of claw when we don't want mom to hear it. So, pretty much all the time.

"Gregor, get down here!" my thoughts were interrupted when my mom called me down. When I got downstairs I passed my mom and got my food, I was at least a foot taller than her, as it has been around six years since we moved, I'm a senior in high school now, with grades as amazing as the occasional d+, but mostly d's. "So, Gregor. How was your day?" She asked this every day, you'd think she would realize the obvious depression that I have.

"Same as yesterday mom, and the day before that, and the day before that." I answered with some serious sarcasm.

"So, great I'm guessing."

"Sure mom."

"Great! So, Lizzy how was your day?" after that I just did the usual, continue eating but zone out everyone else at the table, until I heard it. The code, but not by Lizzy, oh no no no no, this was by a rat, standing on the counter. While I couldn't quite understand what it was saying, Lizzy could. She gave me a look like "Follow me, now." She then excused herself, and I followed soon after.

"So, what did it say?" I asked

"He said" Down the street, turn left on the second turn, and you will find someone that you hold dear." What do you think that means?"

"I think it means that down the street, is Ripred. You know why?"

"No, why?"

"Well, I get a small feeling of they need our help, so they sent Ripred. Seems logical to me."

"O-k, how are we going to get out?"

"Meet me on the front porch at 11:30, and be quiet. We don't want mom to find out."

"Alright, see you then."

As she got up to leave I quickly said this" Make sure you have a flashlight with you, I don't need one because I've been practicing my echolocation." And it was true, what else am I supposed to do, staring at my wall all day. Lizzy gave a slight nod to show that she understood.

5 hours later

"There you are." I said in a voice only Lizzy would be able to hear." Let's go. Uh, did it say what way to go to get to the turn?

"Oh, ya he said to go north."

"Ok. Let's go… again." I took a deep breath and we started walking down the road, we passed the first turn and kept going. When we reached the second road Lizzy and him both took a deep breath and turned left.

"Well, if it isn't my favorite rager and my favorite of his sisters." Came a rough, scratchy voice from the shadows.

"Ok Ripred, that's just creepy." I said as the scarred rat came out of the shadows.

"Well, isn't that just a great greeting."

*sighs*" What do you want Ripred?" I asked him.

"Come on, don't you think I've keeping an eye out for you? I've noticed your obvious sadness, even if your mother hasn't"

"Whatever, again what do you want?"

"Look, Regalia is in danger, along with the queen. And well, we need your help"

"What kind of danger?"

"The Cutters. They've declared war against Regalia."

"Oh, no. Not the Cutters!"

"We need you to come back down as soon as possible"

"You see, that's the problem. My mom won't even let us talk about it, at all, let alone go back down."

"You realize that you're a legal adult now, right? You don't need your parents' permission to leave."

"OH, You're right! Ok I'll go back down tomorrow, meet me here at 11pm."

"Got it! See you then!" Me and Lizzy walked home and went to bed, luckily today was a Friday. I could sleep in tomorrow.

The next day

I woke up at around 11:30 and walked downstairs to the sound of fighting, and at that moment I debated just turning around and going back to bed, but I continued down and had to dodge a book flying at my face. "MOM" My mom looked at me, tears in her eyes.

"Please don't go back down there. Please." She got out after like five minutes of just staring at me.

"I'm sorry mom, I'm going down with Ripred at 11 tonight."

"No." she barely got out in a whisper." Please, no."

"Sorry, but I have to" my mom, tears streaming down her face ran past me, to her room. "Did I do the wrong thing?" I asked my dad, who had been arguing with her about how I was old enough to do it without their permission.

"You're old enough to do whatever you want, with or without our permission. All I have to say is to follow your heart."

"Thanks dad" that whole ordeal had taken up about a half-hour. It was now around 12.

Ten and a half hours later

"Ok, I don't think I'll need much more than this" I thought to myself, all I had in my hands were a water bottle and a half-loaf of bread." Am I about to do this? Leave my family to fend for themselves? Ya, they'll be fine." I walked away from the house and turned down the road, as I got to the second turn I heard that familiar voice.

"You ready to do this?"

"Ya."

So, how was it? Good? Bad? Be brutally honest, I want to know what I can change. I know this one was short, and I'll probably be making longer ones after this one. But I just wanted to write a small one quick to get some feedback. So Please, review. I would love it. Well, See you next time!
