Ok I hurried to get this done… (Not a lot of activity in TUC I realized) But soo many good writers… And reviewers. I really need improving on my writing so I have a story worth reviewing…

Gregor pushed through his apartment door and stormed into his room and flung himself on the bed.

Seconds later, his mom poked her head through the doorway. "What's the matter?" Her eyes showed worry.

"Nothing." Gregor got up from bed. "I need to go back."

"You are not going back there Gregor!" His mom stepped into his room. "I just can't take the chance that you may never come back…" Her scars seemed more noticeable. The purple spot on her face from the plague grew more in color as her face flushed. "And your father…"

"Yes I know he can't stand loosing me either…"

"Also he's still sick, Gregor."

"All the more reason for me to go back! Get some medicine for his lasting relapse!"

"Gregor… I know you want to go back… You miss Luxa and everyone else…"

"It's not only that mom…" Gregor walked out of his room, mom right behind him. "It's that I'm a Rager and I don't feel like I belong here anymore."

"A what? And what do you mean?"

"A Rager is what the Underlands call people that can kill naturally… That's the only reason I probably survived the war… I'm just a murderer… That' all I am and I feel like an outcast! Now I know how Ripred felt…"

"Here we go with that rat again Gregor. You know how I feel about-"

"I need to go back and speak with him… Of how to get my powers under control… I need to know how he did it."

"Gregor this is nonsense! Its 10:00 and you missed your curfew! Off to bed." Gregor's mom led him back to his room.

'I'll just wait until they are asleep… I hate doing this to them…' Gregor sat at his desk and took out a piece of paper, which he started to write a note.

"I am going back to the Underland. There is a problem I must solve. Don't come down for me and let Mrs. Cormaci know I won't be there to work for her for a few weeks or for however long it takes me. See you soon!

-Gregor"

Gregor pondered whether writing a secret coded message to Lizzie, but decided not to due to what he'd say Lizzie would read to his parents.

Gregor lay in his bed until he did not hear any noise coming from the apartment. He then shuffled out, placed the note on the table, and went down to the laundry room. "Here goes…" Gregor pushed off into the vent.

Ok… Please at least 1 review before the next chapter! Or 2 but I don't mean to be too pushy… And I know this was short, but I promise the next chapter will be longer…
