Author's note

Hi, in case one didn't realize. I removed the introduction from the chapters, so if you don't know what's going on at all; trying going back a chapter. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No one said anything for a few seconds after Julia's outburst of fangirl. Rellik was giving the wall a brooding look. Chimbley was giving me looks that translated into something like 'She's crazy.' Climber was gazing curiously at Julia's cheek ripping grin and waggling hands. Mizuno was watching Julia; confused. He was tense from her recent spazz and shaking slightly. He continued to glance at one person to another suspiciously.

Mason was drooling in her sleep.

I directed my gaze towards Mizuno. "What's your name?" His eyes darted towards me before he slowly turned his head towards me. He didn't respond to my question. Julia was still hyped up and jumping around. "Julia stop it!" She froze almost instantly and shot her gaze to me. Mizuno began to slowly slide in a defensive position. His entire body began to shiver. "My name is Serene." I said gesturing to myself. "This is my little sister Mason." I gestured to the drooling heap on my lap. "That is my best friend, Julia." I pointed to the still frozen and staring girl. "Those guys are Chimbley, Rellik, and Climber." I pointed to each person respectively. "This is my home." I gestured around myself. Mizuno's expression became surprised.

"Did you come here for shelter from the rain?" I asked. His head slowly bent down than rose back up. "Did you come in this particular place because you thought it was deserted?" He lowered his head and averted his eyes from mine. "It's okay if you thought that. These two-" I pointed to Chimbley and Rellik. "-idiots thought this place was abandoned also. It's not your fault; it's mine for living in such a dump." I hated saying this with my entire being but now; he looks terrified. Rellik and Chimbley both glared at me at my recent insult. "Are you going to tell me your name?" I asked again as calmly as I could. He, again, didn't respond. "If you don't tell me your name; I am going give you one." He still didn't answer me, his shaking grew slightly violent. I glanced down to his torso and realized something. I glanced back towards Climber; who was staring at Julia's frozen form.

"Climber?" I called to him. He turned his helmet head to face my direction.

"Yes, Miss Serene." He answered. Yes, I do feel like royalty when he calls me Miss. It's a lack of pride thing.

"Can you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Yes, of course." He replied eagerly. I gestured for him to come over to me; which he did.

"Can you sit down against the wall here for a bit." He glanced at the wall then did what I asked. "Is it okay with you, if I lay Mason down on you while I do something?"

"Yes, of course." He replied. I lifted her up and sat her on his lap and laid her head on his chest.

"Can you make sure she doesn't fall over?" I asked. He nodded and wrapped his arms around her. "Thank you."

"I'm just glad to be of use." He replied smiling.

"Julia!" I snapped my head towards the fleshy statue.

"Yes, ma'am." She responded while saluting.

"Since vampy and dust bunny will be free loading here. We might as well give them a place to sleep so I don't trip over them while they lay in the halls. Find an empty room guest room or something for them."

"Ma'am, yes ma'am." She shouted in response. "Come along maggots." She sprinted up the stairs. Rellik and Chimbley looked at me with a hurt expressions on their faces.

"She's just going to show you your room. You can ditch her after that." They both nodded in understanding and followed Julia up the stairs.

I turned to Mizuno. He body was shaking violently and he was breathing erratically. I slowly approached him.

"Let me see it." He eyes shot towards mine in confusion and fear.

"See what?" He spoke, finally.

"I may not be that intelligent." I said while approaching. He stepped back as I reached out and grabbed the edge of his coat. "But I'm able to recognize a bullet. Let me see it." He didn't do anything so I did. I took another step forward and knelt. "Sit down." He did so, slowly. I gently took hold of his leg and turned it slightly. He winced but didn't fight back. Their was an article of clothing wrapped around the wound. Blood was seeping through the article of clothing. . . . . . . . . . . .

Which I recognized to be my bra.

I decided to ignore this and the wonderment of where he got my bra. Instead I removed the clothing and examined his wound. It was in his right thigh; it was still bleeding but not enough to cause extreme damage. Thankfully the bullet shot through the other side, so I wouldn't have to pull it out of him. "Luckily for you I know what to do." I told him. He looked at me suspiciously. I knelt back, and raised my shirt about five inches. On the left side of my stomach, there's a scar. "I was shot down there about three years ago." Mizuno looked down at my scar. I moved up and walked back into the bathroom. I came back with medical equipment and knelt back down in front of him and began tending to his leg. "I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Luckily, my friend Jake, knew how to deal with these situations. He couldn't take me in though due to certain circumstances. So he and some of his goons had to help me themselves. I wasn't put to sleep and I didn't have any pain killers." I looked up at Mizuno; he was looking at his wound. "I remember that experience more than I remember yesterday. I even remembered-" I pulled out the scissors and began to cut away at his pant leg. "-what they did."

"Miss Serene?" Climber called nervously. "Wha-what are you doing?" I turned around. He was still holding Mason firmly. He was looking at the scissors I was holding like it would come and slice him in two any second.

"Don't worry Climber." I reassured. "I'm not going to cut you. These are so I can get to our friends injury." His unsymmetrical eyes closed in relief and his head leaned against the doorframe..

"Wait."

His eyes snapped back open and his head shoot up from the wall.

"W-Why is he hurt?"

"He was shot." I told him. Climber began to have a minor and short panic attack. It involved the twitching of the head and free arm. Along with a series of "wha- wha- who wh- wha." All which I silently watched.

"You brought up an excellent point Climber." He turned to me with a bemused look. I turned back to Mizuno who was silently watching. "How did you get this?" He didn't answer. "I need to know." Still didn't respond. "It would be really helpful." *Silence*.

BLAAARGH

"Listen," I coaxed desperately. "I understand that you are either scared or you don't trust me, but it is essential that I find. Whoever did this to you is breaking a lot of rules. Violence isn't taken kindly in this area and if someone shot you, it means that they mean business. If you don't tell me what happened you are not only endangering yourself, you are putting this entire home in jeopardy. If they or the police come knocking on my door; they could take everyone away." He was listening, but still didn't look convinced. "They will take you, Climber, and Rellik away to labs. You all will become their little lab rats until you die from a painful death. They will take Mason and Chimbley away in foster care, along with possibly Julia and I could go to jail for a long time. So please tell me what happened." *silence* I am going to bust my nerves.

"I don't know who they were." Oh, now we're going somewhere. "I don't remember how I got here. I-" I paused. His forehead crinkled in thought and he bit his lip slightly. "I don't even remember what happened in the last three days. I just remember wandering through the rain. Everything was blurry and distorted. I was attacked from behind by a group of men. I got away and while I was running I was shot. I didn't see any of them well enough to define."

"Can you guess their age group for me?"

His face scrunched up. "Young Adult."

"Thank you. You telling me this actually helps." I reassured him. "You said you were attacked; are you hurt anywhere else?" He sighed slowly and nodded. "Anything on the waist or below besides the bullet wound?" He shook his head. "Okay, so everything else is higher than the waist?" He nodded. "Sure, this can work I can do this." I was saying this to myself more to him. I finished tending to his wound. My hand raised up to massage my temples. I froze when a warm liquid rubbed off from my hand to the side of my head. I looked at my hand and realized it was covered in Mizuno's blood. Nasty.

"Miss Serene, she's waking up." Climber alerted. Of course I forgot what he was talking about for a second. But when I remembered; I slowly turned towards him and Mason.

"Play dead."

"What?"

"Pretend your lifeless!" I said a little more urgently. He sorta understood that. Since he closed his drawn eyes, left his mouth slightly agape, and let his head fall limp. I was expecting him to act like he was lifeless but not in that way.

"Good morning my little narcoleptic child. How are you feeling?" She opened her eyes drowsily and looked around. She made a face when she saw what she was lying on. It was hilarious.

"You put me on this thing while I was sleeping?"

"Yep."

"And you drew a dead face on him?"

"Sure did."

"That's really creepy."

"Yeah."

"I find it hilarious."

"Julia your'e not supposed to be in this conversation."

"Why not?"

"Is anyone going to tell me what happened?"

"You were overwhelmed by the fumes of your first romance."

"When I said anyone; I didn't mean the dumb-ass who isn't my sister."

"If you swear again; you are not allowed to go to Janet's for two months."

"Wait, where is Janet?"

"Oh, you mean that first romance of yours?"

"Please go to hell."

"You're ground for the next two months."

"What! Why?"

"Because you swore in my presence twice."

"So keep your mouth shut you little vermin."

"You're grounded too."

"What? That's not fair!"

"It's completely fair."

"I w'orry 'bout you p'ople. I r'ally do."

"Your grounded too Chimbley."

"I don' 'ave anywhere else to be."

"Will someone who is my sister please explain what is going on?" Mason pleaded.

Time for an awkward and poorly made explanation; again.

"Do you remember that movie?"

"What movie?"

"That movie that you would watch everyday because you liked it so much."

"What?" She put her thinking face on. "You mean Re-Animated?"

"Yes, that one." Ugh I hated that movie so much, I don't remember it much. Most of my experience of being forced to watch that is locked away in the unstable section of my memories. "We are in that situation that one kid is in."

"Who? Jimmy?" Ugh.

"Yes, instead in the case we're in; the cartoons are real and not in our heads."

"That's bull." She crossed her arms and put her stubborn face on.

"What is the last thing you remember before you fainted?"

"Lost consciousness." She corrected.

"You fainted and you know it." I snapped. "What do you remember?" She inhaled deeply and rolled her eyes up. Her way of remembering.

"Wait." She remembers; judging by the look on her face. She gazed slowly around at her surroundings. Looking from Climber (still playing dead, good boy), to Julia, Chimbley, me, then finally the wounded boy behind me. She stared at him in a state of incredulity. Her jaw started to shake and she began to hyperventilat.

Oh, dear

"Mason," I said as I rushed over to her. "Mason, calm down. You'll have an attack." She of course did not calm down and began wheezing uncontrollably. Of course I freak out and get her emergency inhaler from the med kit. Climber comes back to life to stare in shock at the almost dying girl on him. Chimbley was staring in silence. Julia may or may have not been smiling. I ran and gave her the inhaler which she used in a haste. After her breathing began to regulate Julia gave herself the job to explain everything else.

"You do know about that recent obsession your sister and I have gotten into? Don't you?" Julia asked. "Well, they are here and well be living with us until further notice. In fact, the one standing next to me," She rested her hand on Chimbly. "Will be sleeping in your bed. Looks like its couch for you hubby." Mason began to raise her hand, the back facing Julia.

"I you pop that finger; he will get your bed." She put her hand back down. "Julia give him another room."

"Blargh, fine." She stomped back up the stairs. "Come child. The One Direction bedsheets aren't the ones you'll be sleeping in tonight." Chimbley looked at me and mouthed a thank you before following Julia up the stairs. I looked to Mason, who was still not aware that Climber had stopped playing dead.

"By the way; that doll you're sitting on is alive." She scrambled off him while making a 'Nyeh' sound. She spun around and stared at Climber who only smiled back at her.

"Hi, I'm the Climber." Yes sweetie, yes you are.

"I'm the Mason." I wanted to say something. Something how he may not understand sarcasm that well.

"What's a Mason?" It was innocent enough to make me snort. I packed up the med kit and turned to Mizuno.

"No, no, that was a joke."

"So your not Mason?"

She's not going to win this easily. I went to Mizuno and put his arm over my soldier so I could support him.

"I'm going to have to bring you upstairs. There's no beds down here." I warned him.

"Okay." He replied softly.

"My name is Mason."

"I thought you said it wasn't."

"No, I said I wasn't a Mason. Like a species."

"What's a species?"

Must not laugh. Sister will throw fit.

I helped Mizuno up the stairs while supporting him from his bad side, while holding the med kit in my other hand. Thank god he wasn't heavy. He took a sharp inhale of breath every few steps up the stairs.

"Species are different types of animals."

"Oh, so what are you then?"

"I'm human."

"Oh, okay. So what's your name?"

"Mason. My name is Mason. I am a person."

"Wait. Is this another joke?"

I left those two downstairs to deal with their little shenanigans. I went to the closest room. I found out be a shock therapy room, which I completely believed was illegal. I opened the next few doors in search of a room. Bathroom, bathroom, closet, therapy room, kitchen, bathroom, room from a horror movie, small cafeteria, bathroom, storage room, another room from a horror movie, and finally a room for a patient. I never explored this floor, I'm sorry. Thankfully the room, was for one of the more sane of the patients. Not a lot of furniture; just a sheet-less bed and a desk. I led Mizuno over the bed and set him down along with the med kit.

"You patch anything else up. I'm going to find you some blankets." He nodded and continued to stare at the ground. I walked out the door and up to my room. I retrieved a spare set of blankets from my closet. I noticed Mizuno's blood was still on my hands. I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and a spot on my head. I walked to the doorway and froze when something ran past me. I turned my head towards it and something else ran by.

"You can't run forever!"

"I don' haf to!"

"This doesn't have to happen!"

"You can't 'ave moi smokes!"

"It's for your own good!"

I chose to ignore this almost enthusiastically. I got the blankets and went back to Mizuno's little room. He took his coat and shirt off to get to his injuries. His midsection was wrapped heavily with gauge along with different parts of his arms. There were a large number of bruises on his body. He looked up as I walked in and set the blankets down on the bed.

"You okay now?" I asked; sitting down next to him.

"Yeah." He replied.

"Good. Now I hate to ask you this but you need to get up if I'm going to put the sheets on." He slowly got up and used one of the bed posts to support his weight while he was standing. With difficulty, I was able to make the bed. I sat down and bounced a bit.

"It's not first class, but it's comfier than my bed." So sad, yet so true. He sat down beside me. He still didn't speak much. "Is there something wrong?" Might as well get that question out of the way. He stayed silent for a few seconds then sighed.

"What's happening?" He asked. I sighed and leaned my head back to look up at the ceiling.

"Honestly; I don't know." I apprehended. "I just found Climber in the mud and brought him back home with me. Chimbley and Rellik were just taking shelter in my house." I leaned forward and rubbed my forehead. "Don't take this the wrong way, please, just don't. But-" I looked at Mizuno who was listening. "Your not supposed to exist." I waited for some type of reaction but he gave none, so I continued. "There are these artist competitions online. What one had to do; was create an original character. They would have this character fight against other artists' characters. Two artists would both draw, write, or animate their character winning a fight against the other. The artist with the best artwork and storyline would pass on to the next competitor and the loser's character and story could be used and changed to match up with the winner's version of the battle. This process would repeat itself until there is a final winner." I paused to take a breath and glanced towards Mizuno who was listening intently. "A couple years ago, there was a competition called Law of Talos-" He stiffened when I said this. "-that took place in a made up city named Taitle. The winner was able to make one wish. The winners were two characters named The Professor and Annie." He was completely still. "Those two were created by an artist; whose name slipped me at the moment, sorry." I apologized.

"They were made up characters?" Mizuno asked slowly.

"Yes," I answered. "Do you know what that means for you?" His expression turned dead serious and he lifted his head up slowly.

"I don't believe you." He said in an almost threatening tone of voice. I sighed. I got up and left the room, while telling him to wait there. After about five minutes of searching I came back. Mizuno had put his jacket back on and looked like he was about to leave.

"Do you want proof?" I asked him while sitting back down on the bed. He was still for a moment then cautiously limped to the bed to take a seat next to me. I opened up my laptop and went online. I went to my favorites and clicked the link for DeviantArt. I typed his name into the search bar.

"If you know my name," Mizuno said while the results loaded. "Why did you ask for it?"

"I didn't want to scare you." I explained. "You looked like you needed a bit of reassurance that I wasn't going to hurt you. I didn't know how else to act." The results loaded and Mizuno shook slightly. I waited a bit for him to react but he remained motionless.

"Most of this is fan art." I told him. He seemed genuinely surprised by this.

"Fan art?" He asked.

"Yeah," I said. "But since you character has not been active; your fans have lessened."

"What do you mean 'has not been active'?" He asked. I bit my lip, unsure how to tell him in a way that wouldn't offend him.

"Mizuno-" I started. "I have not seen much of you from your 'creator' since the Law of Talos tournament." He looked hurt. He didn't say anything for a couple of seconds.

"She already had her chance. She would have done it then."

What?

"What would I have?"

I am sincerely confused.

"I'm not that naïve and could she even manage that?"

Is he talking to himself?

"I won't, I know what to look out for."

Oh, he is talking to himself. Or wait wait I get it.

"I'm not going to let it get that way."

"I am not really sure who you're talking to." I interrupted. His head snapped up and he looked at me like he had forgotten that I was there. "Do you need anything else?" I asked.

"No, I'm fine." He replied.

"Okay," I said while getting up. "I need to check up on everybody else. Make sure there not dead yet. I am not sure what you do for fun, but my entire house is at your disposal. Except for the basement because no one is allowed down there. If you need me try to find a way to contact me in a way that won't screw up your injury. I can possibly do whatever you need me to except cook. My cooking is terrifying." I turned to him while standing in the doorway. "Are you sure you don't need anything?" He seemed to debate whether or not to tell me what he wanted.

"Can I get something to read?" He asked.

"Sure, I'll be back." I said.

"Thank you."

"For tha' reca'rd, I still blam' you."

"How is this ma fault?"

"I could giv' you a lot of reasons why it's your fault."

"Give meh one reason, rip."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Well?"

"I'm thinkin' of one."

"Good luck with that."

The cyborg continued through the woods; trying to figure out his whereabouts. His brother was resting on his shoulder with all three of his faces set in a frown. The Cyborg, much to his irritation, was forced to listen to his brother b*tch about anything he could.

"Okay, I got one."

"Let's hear it."

"Since it can't be me; it has to be you."

"What kind'ov reason is that?"

"It is the reason."

"That's not even fair!"

"The reason we'are here, bro."

Refusing to argue anymore; the cyborg continued on. His eyes searching for any signs of civilization that s population did not consist of massive amounts of badgers. The trees cut off ahead abruptly and fence separated the woods from a small patch of farmland. It wasn't much; just some animals, a home, a vegetable patch, and a small barn. Small squeals came from an assortment of pigs in a nearby mud pit. He debated whether or not he should intrude the little sanctuary for any type of assistance from the owners. He decided not to when he saw a group of men with shotguns run into the house. Yelling something about a monster in the woods taking their sheep. Thankfully none of them turned his direction. He slowly turned back into the woods and continued the opposite direction of the farm. The pigs began squealing loudly and were throwing a fit as he spoiler. He didn't get more than twenty feet before Riphook opened his mouth again.

"Hey Spoiler." Riphook said.

"What?" Spoiler responded in a bored tone.

"I thin' tha' swine thought your gears were giving off their matin' call." Spoiler didn't respond. He only squinted and tightened his lips.

"How does it feel, to be abl' to turn on pigs?"

Spoiler clenched his teeth.

"Without even tryin'?"

Spoiler inhaled deeply through his nose and slid his hand lower down on Riphook's sword handle. He began sliding the pole upwards on his shoulder.

"Hey," Riphook said. "What are you doin'?"

Spoiler didn't respond; instead he began to walk at more rapid pace as he slid Riphook higher. When he reached the end of the pole Riphook had risen four feet higher than he was originally. Making it so he was around nine feet of the ground. That boys and girls, was the same height as some of the lower branches.

"Wait- wait bro there's a-"

*Smack*

"What the hell are you doin' you-"

*Clack*

"Wait? Is this pay-"

*Smack*

"You shoul'n be ahffened by the tru-"

*Crack* *Smack*

"Is this any way to treat your own br-"

*Thunk*

Spoiler was stopped momentarily when Riphook got stuck in one of the branches.

"This is why you remain single!" Riphook snapped. Spoiler took another deep breath in and closed his eyes in frustration.

"Now be a good brother and ge-"

*Snap*

And so the two brothers continued. Spoiler continued walking but mercifully lowered Riphook down to his original height. Riphook finally stopped complaining. He just waited quietly on Spoilers shoulder.

Along with the branch which was still stuck on him with the twigs and leaves in his faces.

The three of them continued onwards until the reached a building. It wasn't the best looking but it was still standing. He noticed a few people, who must have been living in it. There was an older girl sitting on a windowsill thirty feet of the ground, a girl around the same age with mad hair, and a boy in a large hat. The girl sitting on the window was scanning the area inside through the window with a flashlight. She kept herself steady by having a death grip on a nearby ladder. The one with the bushy hair was arguing with the boy. The boy, Spoiler recognized almost instantly.

"It's that kid." Spoiler said; surprised.

"What kid?" Riphook asked. Unable to see with all three faces stuck in the leaves.

"The kid from Taitle." Spoiler said while unintentionally walking forward. "The one who beat us." Suddenly, the one girl made a grab for boy's cigarette. He dodged her attack and ran off. The girl ran chased him around the house corner. The girl on the window looked down at them and yelled not to do anything stupid. Her voice shook while she was yelling and her grip on the ladder seemed to tighten. She turned back to the window. The boy came around the other corner of the house. As he was running forward; he caught a glimpse of Spoiler and slowed down to a stop near the ladder. His pursuer rounded the corner and saw a chance when their target stopped. She slammed into him full force and as they both fell to the ground, the kid grabbed hold of the ladder which began to slide sideways under his weight. The girl got the most amusing expression on her face when she realized the ladder was shifting. She didn't attempt to keep the ladder from falling. She simply leaned backwards with the ladder and fell headfirst towards the ground.

As if on instinct; Spoiler tossed Riphook to the side and darted forward to catch the falling girl. He stretched his arms forward and was able to position himself before she fell in his arms. Her head and limbs bobbed from the momentum she gained while she fell. When she made no movements, Spoiler checked to see if she was harmed. She seemed fine; she was just staring into nothing with a dead look in her eyes. He shook slightly but she didn't respond.

"Thank you," Spoiler looked up and his eyes met with the other girl. "Spoiler." Spoiler became suspicious when she said his name. "Don't worry man," She said; raising her hands in defense. "You don't need to. I'm not some creeper; I swear. Though, I'll be honest, I know a lot about you."

"NO MORE TOURNAMENTS!" Riphook yelled from the tree he was stuck in. "They are always claimin' to know all 'bout us! Well, I had enough. I refuse to participate and so does me brother." The girl glanced over to Riphook.

"Don't worry Riphook," Riphook growled in annoyance when she said his name. "The only things relative to a competition are the sports at school. Nothing else really happens." She turned back to Spoiler; smiling stupidly. "Do you remember Taitle?" Spoiler didn't really want to remember. Losing his head wasn't something fun for him.

"Woi'll I remebe' 'em!" The kid shouted while pointing at him accusingly. "He becaim black with dis grin and he triod to kill me!" He smoshed the girl's face and pulled her closer so he could look her directly in the eye. "He was sayin' kiddie rhymes whoi'le he was attackin'! Then he-" The girl smacked her hand against the boy's mouth to shut him up.

"I know sweetie," She said calmly. Spoiler tensed up when she said this. He was surprised when he realized that Black Ace has been uncharacteristically quiet ever since they woke up.

"My name's Julia." She said. "I will make this short and simple. Some parts of your cyborg life have been written as comics. The person who drew those comics; created everything about you. There is no way to find him." She interrupted an upcoming question from Spoiler. "He drew and animated your story while you were in those tournaments. Sadly after losing enough competitions; he discontinued your character."

"I don believe you." Spoiler stated. Narrowing his eyes at the girl. She sighed and crossed her arms.

"You once met a man who looked like a pirate." She said. "He kicked your discarded head by accident. He picked you up and asked what happened and you told him some dirty boy with a broom did this to you. The pirate commented on how the boy must have known something about the tournament before he dropped you." Spoiler became uneasy; but remained firm on his thoughts. "You then arrived in Nevara. Black Ace took control of your body a majority of the time. He killed a childish boy while singing about Jack and a candlestick. You lost to some sorcerer person." Spoiler still did not believe her. He knew there were people who could read minds.

"She's tellin' tha truth." Spoiler looked to the boy who spoke. "Di'n wan' to believe it eitha'." Spoiler started to become hostile.

"Your'e lying!" He yelled while dropping the girl he was holding. "I'm not some make believe character from some story. If you want to tell me somethin' then do it instead of givin me this crap."

"Ignorance is bliss; isn't it?" Spoiler looked down and met the eyes of the girl who fell of the ladder.

"Hey Serene," the fizzy haired girl said while kneeling down. "What's in the room?" She glanced up to see Spoiler's confused expression. "There's this room," The frizzy one explained. "We were hearing noises from inside, but we couldn't get in, since there was door. The only way in the room is that window; so that's why Serene was up there."

"Right," The girl called Serene said.

"So what was up there?" The frizzhead asked. Serene's brow furrowed and she sighed deeply.

"Sheep."

"What?"

"There are sheep," Serene pointed to the window. "In the room." Chimbley smacked his hand against his forehead.

"Why do you have sheep in there?" Julia asked hesitantly. Serene's face grew irritated.

"Because," She seethed. "One of the sheep had a piece of paper taped to him. You want to know what it said?" The fuzzy one shook her head; Serene answered anyway. "It said; Love Mike" The frizzhead snorted loudly in laughter. "I don't know how, but he got sheep up in that room. Revenge will happen. . . . . later." She sighed and laid back on the ground. She looked up at Spoiler from her place on the ground. "How long have you been here?" She asked.

"Not long." Spoiler responded. She looked at Spoiler for a second before looking up at the sky.

"Don't get mad at Julia," She said. "She just stating what we know." Serene saw Spoiler was listening intently for her explanation; so she continued. "For me and Julia," she said while gesturing to her and Julia respectively. "You only exist in a comic online but for you," She pointed to me. "You exist in a world where the almost impossible happens. I'm not sure which world is the base, or if there even is a base world. You cannot blame us for what we were taught." Spoiler did not respond. Instead he walked back to Riphook to pull him out of the tree while thinking about what she said.

"So your sayin' there's a chance that your friend was wrong?" Spoiler asked. Serene lifted herself off the ground and brushed the dirt of her back.

"Honey," She said while walking to him. "You see that house." She point to the building. Spoiler looked at the run down building.

"You mean the shack?" Riphook asked. Serene's eye visibly twitched.

"May I see him?" She asked gesturing to Riphook. Spoiler hesitantly handed her Riphook. As Riphook was asking what she wanted; Serene walked to the closest tree. She pulled the blade behind her head before hacking Riphook into the tree. She left him in the tree and went back to Spoiler.

"Okay," She continued. "Well, in my house." She emphasized. "There is a fish-boy, a vampire, and a living mannequin. You ask me if Julia could be wrong, well, I don't even know what right anymore."

"Nietha do I." Spoiler responded. Serene smiled at him reassuringly.

"Well," Her friend Julia said while pulling out Riphook. Spoiler was a bit creeped out by her sudden appearance. "Since anybody who sees you will shoot you and call the military, would you like to stay with us till we get you back?"

"No."

"Be quiet Chimbley, this doesn't concern your."

"I beliov'e mah saftey concens me." Chimbley snapped.

"Don't worry Chimbley," Julia ran up to him while holding Riphook and hugged him. "If he attacks; then we'll just use Serene as bait so we can get away."

"Excuse me?"

Julia ignored me though and grabbed Chimbley's hand. She ran inside the house after yelling "Allons-y!" Spoiler watched her; dumbfounded.

"You don't have to," Spoiler turned to me; curious. "I mean I recommend doing so, but it's up to you." Spoiler turned back to the house in silence.

"I'll stay," He agreed. "Judging by what your said; something isn't right. Besides, if those people you were talkin bout are in the same boat as me; they probl'y will find the way back home 'for I can." She nodded in understanding.

"Well," She said while walking towards the house. "Come inside. I don't know what you'll like to do in your spare time, but use my stuff as you like. Also, if your'e looking for conversations; I don't do those very well, so talk to someone who knows how to communicate." They entered the house and she spread her arms out to gesture the area. "Home." She said. "It's not much, but it is what it is."

"Hey," Spoiler said while he looked around. "Are you hidin from someone or something." She seemed confused by this.

"No, Why?"

"Well," He said. "I was just wonderin' you live in this abandoned building." Serene froze with irritation written all over her face.

"I'm going to make a sign."
