Chapter 3

"Another NMC." Pierce said shakily. "Thanks for the note Pierce." Aya said. Chibi Eve screamed and the monster switched its attention to her. It looked at the small group and a gigantic fireball formed in its mouth ready to torch them. Aya let several bullets fly before yelling "Run!" Everyone ran in between the monster's legs except for Chibi Eve. The monster shot the fireball towards Aya and picked up Chibi Eve with its tails. "Aaaaaayyyyyyaaaaaaa!" Chibi Eve screamed. "Eve!" Aya screamed. Aya attached a flamethrower attachment to her gun and dove at the creature. It swiped of its huge claws and knocked Aya back about 14 feet. "Ugh." Aya grabbed her back. Chibi Eve screamed again, this time allowing a golden aurora to form around her. The creature looked a bit puzzled and snapped at Hal as he tried to load his gun.

There were sizzling sounds and smoke coming from the creature's tail, as Chibi Eve became more scared. Aya got up and shot at the creature's head. It lunged at her at sank it's teeth into Aya's leg. Aya screamed in pain as the creature lifted her up with its massive jaws. Chibi Eve grew more and more scared and now that Aya was hurt, she was filled with fury. The creature whipped Aya around like she was a rag doll and threw her back down the alley. Chibi Eve's anger exploded and the screamed with rage and fear. The creature roared out and finally exploded and splattered down the street and all over Hal, Aya, and Pierce.

Chibi Eve fell harmlessly to the ground breathing heavily and confused. Aya sat up and looked over at her. "Eve!? Are you OK!?" She yelled. Aya staggered into a standing position and limped over to Chibi Eve. "Aya! You're hurt!" She yelled before throwing her arms around Aya and bursting into hysterical tears. "It's OK I'll be fine." Aya told Chibi Eve. "That was quite a stunt you pulled Eve." "I know." She said. "But I can't remember how I did it Aya." She told her. "That's all right. You won't need to remember." "Yea and if you do you can always blow up the next huge monster that comes our way." Pierce said. Chibi Eve's eyes filled with tears and she cried again on Aya's shoulder. "Pierce you asshole! Look what you did!" "Sorry but I could be like Kyle." "Good Lord don't even remind me of him." "OK."

"I suppose that's all we can do for now." Hal said. "Yea, it's getting dark too. We sure as hell don't want to be out here in the dark." Pierce said. "We should go home, but I'm worried about you guys." Aya said while comforting Chibi Eve. "If you're worried you could always come stay at my place Aya." Pierce said. "Oh get a life Pierce." Aya said. "Oh well, It's your loss." Pierce said laughing. "Brea, I want you to keep an eye on Eve at ALL times. Don't let her out of your sight you understand?" "Yes sir." Aya said. "I have a feeling it's based around Chibi Eve again." Aya sighed.

"Does this mean I get to stay with you Aya?" Chibi Eve said. "Yea, come on; let's go home. The group split up from there, Pierce went to his apartment, Hal to his house, and Aya took Chibi Eve to her apartment.

Aya yawned and stretched out on her bed. She turned on the T.V and watched for a little while before she heard knocking at her bedroom door. "Come in." Aya said. Chibi Eve walked in; she was a bit pale. "You won't let anything happen to me will you Aya?" Chibi Eve said. "No, I'll never let anything happen to you, I promised." Aya assured her. Chibi Eve stood there for a couple more seconds before turning to leave. "Are you still scared?" Aya said. Chibi Eve turned around and nodded. "You can sleep in here with me then if you're afraid." She said. Chibi Eve turned around and hopped into bed with Aya. She soon fell asleep.

Aya stayed up late into the night pondering about the recent events. What the hell is happening now? It isn't another new threat is it? If so who and why? These thought wandered through her mind until the tossing and turning of Chibi Eve snapped Aya back into reality. Still asleep, Chibi Eve mumbled "who are you?" Aya shut off the TV and listened to Chibi Eve's ramblings. "What... you want?" Aya watched Chibi Eve movements. The expressions on her face looked so sincere it scared Aya. "Leave.... Alone." Aya decided it was time to wake Chibi Eve up. She shook her gently saying "Chibi Eve, wake up, you're having a dream." Chibi Eve's expression changed to horror and she shot upright and screamed.

"Eve! It's me Aya. You were dreaming." Aya said. "It seemed so real." She said. "Most dreams do." Aya told her. "There was this weird lady." "What did she look like Chibi Eve?" Aya asked. "She had long brown hair, except it was spiked.. A red dress... I can't really describe her." Chibi Eve said. Aya's eye went wide. "I know Ill' draw it!" Chibi Eve exclaimed. She hopped out of bed and ran to her room to draw the picture. Aya started to sweat. 'It couldn't be.... Eve.... could it?' Aya thought.

Chibi Eve came back 10 minutes later with the picture. "Like this."

The picture was Very detailed and colorful. The woman drawn had long brown hair that was back in 4 unnatural spikes. Her Arms were two times too long and her hands were huge blue claws instead. There was a blue tail-like part protruding out from under her dress, and she was a pale as a ghost. She also had brilliant emerald green eyes. Aya dropped the picture and had to hold onto the bedpost to stop her-self from fainting.

"It's... Melissa...no, it's Eve." Aya said.
