Chapter 2: What's your name?

To Neah it felt like hours had passed as he sat outside the door of the little girls' room at the clinic in Liverpool. In reality in had only been 10 minutes since his friend Emily had asked him to wait outside the door. Before Neah could die of boredom, the door opened.

"How is she?"

"Her fever is still very high..."

"What?"

"Neah where did you find that girl?"

"A couple of towns over, didn't get the name, why?" Emily grabbed his hand and dragged him into the room.

She went over to the girl and undid a couple of the buttons on the white dress she had changed the girl into. What Neah saw made his blood run cold. The little girls' back was covered with scars and burn marks.

"The people in that town called her a witch...how could they do that to a child?"

Emily rebuttoned the dress. "People are scared of what they don't understand Neah. Did she tell you anything?"

"No, I was reading a book when she came out of nowhere looking like she was being chased by a pack of wolf's. After the towns people left i didn't get to talk to her much because she fainted." Neah reached over and patted the girl head. "What kind of monster could do this to a child, it makes me sick." the girls eyes twitched before she shot up in the bed.

"W-where am I?"

"You don't have to worry, I got you out of that town." he noticed that her attention was on the other person in the room. " This is my friend Emily, I have known her since i was a kid." Emily stepped towards the girl.

" It's nice to meet you." the girl hide her eyes with her hair.

"Emi" the woman glanced over to Neah, knowing what he wanted by the look on his face.

"Oh my look at the time i all most forgot that i have dinner tonight with my parents." she said as she take a coat off the rack in the corner of the room. "If you need me, you know where to find me Nea." and with that they were alone.

"Thank you...Neah."

"It's not a problem." Neah sat down on the bed. "Why don't you tell me your name?"

"...It was Annabell before the town found out about my power, then it was only witch or demon child."

"You don't seem like your very trusting of others, why are you telling me this." Neah asked.

"I didn't notice it before but your like me."

"How so?" she paused.

"Theres something different about you." Neah eyes widened.

"What makes you different Anri?"

"Anri?"

"It means blessed with grace, I think it suit you." Anri blushed. She hopped off the bed and stared out the window, she pointed at something. Neah got up and looked to where she was pointing.

"It's the cemetery, what about it?"

"You asked me what makes me different, watch." Anri grabbed Neah hand.

Neah couldn't describe what happened next, it was as if the air around him had come alive. The real shock was when he looked out the window. What he saw made him think that someone in his family put something in his drink at lunch.

The once empty grave yard now have a small group of people. A few children were playing in a patch of flowers well some of the adult had a picnic set up.

Neah had seen a lot since he joined his family, but this was not something you saw everyday. The people he was looking at...he could see right threw them.

"U-um are they...?

"Spirits. I can talk to them." Anri knew what was going to happen, the same thing that happened every time someone saw her powers.

"THAT'S AMAZING ANRI!"

"what?"

"Forget what those idiots in that town said, you have a special gift."

"Y-you mean it?"

"Of course!"

Tears began flowing down Anri's face, to think that someone thought that she wasn't a freak.

"Hey Anri."

"yes?" she answered in a quiet voice.

Neah got down to her level and looked her in the eyes.

"How would you like to come live with me as my little sister?"

"Come again?"

"I'm not going to take you back to that hell hole of a town. The houses I live in have more than enough space, and I'm sure my family will love you. So what do you say, Anri Walker?"

Anri ran forward and wrapped her arms around Neah.

"It's all I have ever wanted...Ni-san." Neah smiled and returned the hug.

"How about you get back in bed while I run over to Emily's house to see if she has a coat that will fit you?"

Anri jumped out of his arms and climbed onto the bed as Neah put on his coat. He paused.

"I'll only be a few minutes ok?" he told her as he put his top hat on her head.

"I'll be here." Neah pulled the cover over her and then walked out.

"Anri Walker, I like it. I wonder what Ni-sans family is like? I can't wait to meet them!"

"Here you are."

Anri jumped at the sound of the voice and froze at the sight of the person in the doorway. It was one of the strange men in black that was helping the townspeople look for her.

"Your not going anywhere."
