chapter four

I wake up in a cold sweat again. This time no one was in the room with me. 'should I or should I just stay in here? I think i'll try exploring a little bit. nothing bad could come from that.' with that settled I get up out of my bed and go to the door. I look out the door to see if anyone is out in the hallway or in close rooms. I don't hear anything so I go out of my room. big mistake, right outside of my room Rythian was sleeping. I walk past him as quietly as I could, unaware that I was using my powers. As I continued I realized that they didn't use a lot of science. That's good. I then got out of there base and look back at it. 'wow that must have taking a long time to make.' I start to walk towards where my heart is leading me, that would be correct is I had a heart in the first place. I have been walking for a long time now I think that i'll take a break for a little bit. after a little time has past I start walking again. after a little longer walking it starts to get dark. all of a sudden I hear a 'sssssshhhhhhhh' I don't even enough time to run from what is coming. I get through at least 20 feet in front of me. I then try to stand up, but when I try pain shoots up my leg and I let out a horrible scream. I think that the scream alerts the people that were in the building that is a little further ahead of me. the first person that I see is a tall brunette that is wearing a white t-shirt with light blue stripes across it, with an overcoat that looked a lot like my brothers but his is red and my brothers was black. the next person that I see is a rather short man that I think is a dwarf. he has a fiery red beard. then the last person that I see is a man that flies over to me. he has goggles on top on his head, and he's wearing a lab coat. 'oh great a scientist this is going to be grand.' as they get closer I try to hide my treelike horns, I couldn't. by the time that they were here my horns were fully extended. 'damit horns why don't you what I want you to do!'

"Hey are you ok? I heard an explosion than a scream and saw you out here." I looked at the man that was talking and now that he was closer I noticed his eyes glowed a faint blue. kind of like rythian.

"hello do you understand what i'm saying?"

"wha- ya, just a little shaken up."

" I can tell. hey, let me help you get these tree branches out of your hair."

"NO! sorry no I can do it." 'shit what am I supposed to do now! I can't let him know?! well maybe he can be trusted?'

"are you sure you can do it? here let me help a little." he grabs one of my horns and starts to pull at it. "ow ow ow OW!"

"Sorry it's really in there. it almost seems that there in your head."

"here let me try." this time it was the red haired man. "see you just need to get the right grip on it and PULL!"

"OOOOWWWW!" this is the most pain that I have been in a long time.

"Honeydew stop can't you see that you're hurting her?!" this was the blonde hair guy.

"thanks."

"hey I looks like there in your head. that's rather strange."

"how is it strange lalna?"

"well if they were put into her head there would be blood on her head. yet there's not a single drop. do you mind if take a look?"

"no, but just be careful please."he than goes and lifts my hair in random spots around my horns. he keeps making this unusual sounds that are making me a little. uncomfortable

"lalna, I think that you should stop it looks like your making her uncomfortable. you can look at it more later."said the man in the white and blue shirt.

"thank's-"

"Xephos, it's Xephos"

"well thanks xephos. I'm Hannah but I like to be called Silent wanderer.

"okay Silent wanderer, the one with the red hair is named Honeydew, and the one that was looking at you is lalna." I look over at the two and they both wave. I then go to stand up forgetting that I hurt myself. as I stand I start to fall because of the pain but Xephos caught me before I hit the ground.

"Thank's, you… don't mind helping me over to you house thing right?"

"It's no problem. it looks like you hurt yourself pretty bad." I feel my face get hotter as I look down at the ground. As soon as we got to the house they had to bring me in sideways so my horns could fit through the door. the first thing that I see is two men chasing each other around the room. "just ignore them, they're just being STUPID!" Lalna said. At the last word they stop chasing each other and looked at him.

"well now that that's over Silent wanderer meet Sjin-" he point to the man that had a lot of elegant facial hair. "and sips." this time he pointed to the man that was standing/sitting next to Sjin. the man was very pale. It almost looked like he was a vampire. he had minimal hair in his head and a scrubby beard.

"Sjin,Sips meet Silent wanderer. she's going to stay with us for a little bit, until her wounds heal."

"Hi Silent wanderer, it's nice to meet you." Sjin stuck out his for me to shake but I keeped my hand at my side. I don't trust anyone any more.
"Okay well welcome to honeydew Inc. next to this factory is sipsco. dirt factory. finest dirt in the world."

"that's right, I even built the whole thing by myself." at this statement Sjin gabed Sips in the stomach.

"ignore him. he doesn't know what he's saying."

"Shut up you big babby." Sips got up and tackled Sjin and they got into a full fight. It was rather funny to watch them roll around on the ground like this. It reminded me of what me and my brother would do.

"will you to behave for two seconds." this time Xephos yelled at them.

"pffff. HAHAHA" I tried to conceal my laughter but, ya it didn't go too well. at this point everyone is looking at me like I crazy.

"oh…. sorry it was just a little too much for me to keep in."

"Okay… I don't think it was that funny. anyone elts?" Honeydew look around to the others to see any reactions were like myen.

"Sorry it just reminded me of my brother." at this I mentally slapped myself for letting that out to this people. I hardly know them why am I so stupid and let my emotions get a hold of me.

"who's your brother?"asked sips

"Josh, but he now goes by the name….." I trailed off at the last part

"what was the name? not josh but what he likes to be called." xephos asked. at this point I wish that I could run away from them but my freaking leg.
"he goes by Ridgedog." I think that if they were all drinking water they would be choking on it right now.
"wait you're telling me that you're related to ridgedog. THEE RIDGEDOG?"

"yes."

"there's no way that you're related to him." Lalna looked like he was just denying it for his sake.

"It's true, she is related to me." at this point ridge came in through the open roof.

"you guys should probably fixes the roof. that's not that safe."

"wait Ridge you're saying that she is your sister? I'm so confused." Sjin looked like his head was going to blow of his head for thinking too hard.

"yes she is my sister. although it is annoying when she interferes with my things." he looks at me rather mad and I look away imberist.

"Hey Jo-Ridge."

"What Hannah?"

"this is what!" I run at him and knock him on to the ground. from here we started to play fight, well I was but I don't think he was, well that was until he sat on me and flipped him over. from there on we started to do what we would do when we were younger, like he would hold his hand on my head when I tried to run at him, and he would tickle me and I chased him out of the factory and we ran around it a few times until we were both exhausted laying on the ground laughing and smiling. at this point Xephos and his crew were outside looking at us like we were three headed creatures. than Xephos whispered over to honeydew something like this,

"you know I have never see Ridge like this before. he's so happy. and Silent Wanderer is a lot less tense." honeydew on the other hand was trying his hardest to suppress laughs by the look on his face. this he failed at and ended up with us on the ground laughing our heart out. soon everyone was on the ground laughing like maniacs. to be honest if someone came by and saw use like this I think they would think that we're crazy. after a good 5 min. of laughing Ridge got up and helps me up too.

"Hey Hannah guess what"

"what?"

"this!" he then shoves me on the ground. I then fall into the river that was next to the this point I drag him in to the river with me and we both end up soked and cold.
