Kalie awoke in a daze, her vision was blurry and her face hurt, her whole body hurt. She slowly sat up causing pain to shoot all through her body. She clenched her teeth together hard as she stood, nearly losing her balance and falling back down. Her vision slowly returned and she noticed she was in a living room. The walls were painted a peach color with beige carpets. She placed her hand over her head and flinched at the pain.
"What the hell was I supposed to do? Leave her there, she's your friend." She heard a voice say muffled by being in another room.
"You could have put us in danger." A woman's voice said.
"Look she didn't see and besides if she did who would believe her huh?" A young male voice said.
"Look let's look on the bright side. She's alive that's a good thing" a young woman said.
"Well clearly not everyone thinks that, what if it had been you Marie...or Bob? You know I or Tracy would have done the same thing, better yet switch places and it had been me or Tracy are you going to sit there and tell me you would have just walked away?" The young male voice asked.
Kalie heard footsteps getting closer to the room she was in and a door opened. She watched as Edd walked out and headed up stairs, but stopped when he noticed Kalie. Kalie watched him as he watched her.
"She's up" He said and went upstairs. Tracy walked in and walked to Kalie.
"Hey...how are you doing?" She asked.
"Well" Kalie said but stopped herself as the pain became unbearable to talk. So instead she nodded. Bob and Marie walked in. They stopped and looked at each other before walking to Kalie.
"Hi sweetheart" Marie said. "We are going to take you to the hospital okay?" Kalie tried to speak but the pain was too much instead she just nodded.
"Edd we are taking Kalie to the hospital" Tracy said but there was no reply. Tracy frowned and turned to her parents and new friend.
"Okay then let's go" She said. Marie and Bob helped Kalie out of the apartment and into the Chevy impala.
Edd had watched as they drove off. Edd's blood began to boil as he clenched his hands in a tight fist. He shouted and cursed and flung his arms in the air and yelled as the blades came out of his hands.
The blades were six inches long except for the middle ones they were half an inch longer. And each blade had a slight curve towards the end giving them a claw like look. Edd took a deep breath and calmed down. Edd had always had anger issues but never knew why he always felt angry. If it hadn't been for Tracy to always be at his side when things got bad he would have killed someone.
Once he had calmed down he looked at his claws. It had been so long since he last looked at them. He took another deep breath as he retracted his claws. It hurt like hell when they came out cutting through muscle and flesh to be exposed to the outside but it hurt much worse as they went back in.
Whenever his claws came out they shifted the bones in his hands to the side which causes his hands to become numb. As the claws rested back in his forearm he felt his knuckles get warm and they healed. The gaping wound closed and turned into scars and the scars faded away as if it had never happened. Edd cleaned up the mess he made and went to bed. As sleep nearly came to him, he suffered terrible flash backs of labs and being in a large tank filled with water. He began to choke, he couldn't breathe. He struggled to breathe but instead felt water rush into his lungs. Edd jerked out of his sleep and started panting; he started taking large deep breaths. He sat at the end of the bed and stroked his sweaty hair.

The doctor had finished applying a bandage to Kalie's fore head.
"Thanks Doc." She said.
"Your very welcome...your lucky this was it...you will be fine, now where are your parents? " the Doc asked.
"Oh they are out on one of my father's business trips to Canada" She said as the Doc cleaned up the mess. The Doc then walked to Bob and Marie.
"She's fine if you want to take her home" The Doc said.
"We will take her" Marie said.
"Okay let me get the paperwork and you'll be all set" the Doc said and walked out. Tracy walked up to her new friend.
"How do you feel?" She asked.
"Pain full, tired, and loopy...but that's just the morphine I guess." She chuckled.
"Hey you're going to stay with us till your folks get back if that's okay?" Tracy said. Kalie looked at her parents who both nodded.
" Yeah that's cool but uhh can we stop at my place so I can get a few things?" She asked.
"Of course" Marie said.
"So...Edd? He found me?" Kalie asked. She could see Tracy tense up a bit before nodding her head.
"Yeah he scared the ass holes away." Tracy said.
"Well I guess I'll have to thank him later" Kalie said as she rubbed the back of her head.
Everyone returned to the apartment after taking Kalie home to grab some of her things.
"Edd, Were home!" Bob shouted. A few seconds later Edd walked down stairs, he stopped in his tracks to see Kalie still there.
"Well?" Edd asked.
"She's going to be staying with us for a bit until her folks come back. "Tracy said.
"Where is she going to sleep?" Edd asked a little annoyed.
"Your room duffus" Tracy said. Kalie tried to abject.
"Then where the hell am I going to sleep?" He asked clearly mad.
"The couch" Bob said.
"Now I can sleep on the couch its okay" Kalie said. Tracy placed her hand on Kalie's shoulder and led her up stairs.
"Nonsense he can sleep on the couch." Tracy said as they walked upstairs. Edd looked at his parents.
"Really?" Edd said. "She shouldn't be here"
"She has nowhere else to go" Marie said.
"What she has no other friends she can go to?" Edd said as his walked closer to them.
"It's only for a week...besides think of Tracy." Marie said.
Edd took a moment to think, he wasn't the only one to lose his friends in the move, his sister also lost friends, and this Kalie chick is making her happy. Edd sighed.
"Whatever" he said as he walked up stairs.
Kalie was getting set up in Edd's room, when he walked in.
"Hey" he said as he walked over.
"Oh hi" she said.
"I just came to get a pillow he said as he grabbed one and started to walk out, but a sketch book caught his attention.
"You draw?" He asked.
"A little" she said.
"May I?" He asked. Kalie nodded. To which Edd picked up the sketch book and looked through it. Through it he saw detailed sketches of birds and animals.
"These are..." he said as he looked at the book.
"Terrible...I know I'm not very good." She said.
"No there...really good. You're really talented." He said and came to a sketch of a guy. Edd showed her the drawing of the detailed person.
"Oh" Kalie said as her cheeks flushed red. That's my...my ex-boyfriend." She said as she tore the picture out and ripped it in half. Edd sat the book down.
"So what happened?" He asked. Kalie looked up and stared into his deep blue eyes.
"He...cheated on me." She said as she brought her legs to her chest. "And what's worse...is I knew all along, but...I loved him, I loved him too much to see that I was becoming the stupid pathetic girlfriend that didn't want to let go." She said and a tear fell from her eye. Edd stood there not knowing what to do. Should he say something, or should he walk off when she wasn't looking. He chose the best option.
"Well you look tired so I'm going to let you sleep" He said as he walked off.
"Thank you, for saving Me." she said. Edd stopped before he walked out.
Shit he thought
"Don't mention it" He said and walked out.

Kalie awoken to the sound of thunder and the light flashes of lightning. She sat up and watched the rain as it went down the window. The lightning causing the room to temporary light up in a blue hue. She watched the street and watched as the cars drove by.
She turned to look at the clock 3:45 A.M. She tried to lie back down but sleep would not come. At least fifteen minutes past. Kalie got up and grabbed her sketch book and went down stairs. It was dark except for the street light that shined into the living room window. Kalie looked as the light shined on Edd as he slept.
She couldn't help but blush at the sight of him.
God he is so cute when he was sleeping she thought.
She walked up and sat at a chair by the window and started drawing. She didn't know why she was drawing him while he slept, it felt...weird and at the same time it felt peaceful. As she was drawing her face started to hurt a bit, she went into the bathroom and turned on the light.
She had a black eye and a busted lip a few cuts but that was it. She took some pills she was prescribed and went back to drawing. When she was finished she couldn't help but smile as she gave this certain picture a name.
-My sleeping Hero-
She smiled and watched him sleep. She felt butterflies in her stomach. She didn't know how long she watched him sleep, but soon her eyes grew heavy and she slept.
She awoke sometime later to the sound of Edd moaning. She watched him as he jerked around in his sleep. He moaned and then screamed a bit. Clearly she knew something was wrong.
"Edd" she said. He continued to jerk and scream. Kalie rushed to his side and started to wake him.
"Edd...Edd wake up" she yelled as she shook him. Then his eyes opened wide and he lunged at her forcing her to the ground. One hand pinning her hands to the ground, his knee on her chest and the other. Hand clenching in a fist pointing at her. He yelled and growled at her and his Claws burst from his hand.
Kalie screamed as blood from the wound his claws came out of dripped onto her face. Edd shook his head and his eyes opened wide. He quickly retracted his claws and got off of her. Bob and Marie walked in and saw them. Kalie was having a panic attack and quickly stood and ran to the door and slung it open panicking as she made her way out of the apartment and into the streets.
