I had just started to pace the strangely large cupboard when I heard five gun shots come from outside. I didn't think to pull the wig off before darting out ready to fight. It cost me dearly later. By the time I had reached where the shots came from Caius was already fighting with who I had guessed to be Tite Kenpaka by his bright blue hair, but neither of them had a gun.

"Who the hell are you? Get out of here you little runt!" shouted a deep voice from behind. My eyes shot to the window on my left and I realised my mistake. I didn't get a chance to face whoever was behind me, there was a deep loud thud and the floor beneath me just crumbled and gave way. As I quickly fell onto the rubble on the floor below I heard some people scream and run away. I seem to think that even they didn't know others were still here. I quickly stumbled to my feet and brushed off the dirt and dust. As I pulled off the wig I looked around to make sure that no-one else was still there. 'Just my luck that when I turn around Crispin San is just stood there.'

"Methuen?"

I just stared back for a few seconds then had to quickly dive out from beneath the hole in the ceiling. The reason why the floor gave way landed where I was a few seconds after I slammed into Crispin.

"You're starting to get on my nerves you know. Who are you?" I already had an idea of who they were but I quickly looked them up and down looking for something to confirm who they were. The scars on his face from hairline to chin and long blonde dreads confirmed it all: Braken Ghastly, he was there when my mother died and right now he was on my hit list. I grinned and casually removed my contacts at last and flicked them away with one hand pulling off my wig with the other.

"Good to see you again Ghastly, I see you've not moved with the changing trends still," I joked.

"Aha Tom Sawyer I should have known, nice cover up. Let's get this fight started shall we?" he sneered.

"Gladly" I replied.

It was just before my hand even touched the grip of my gun that I remembered Crispin was still behind me. I had to get him out of here before he ended up getting hurt or worse.

"Crispin, get down," I said sternly keeping my eyes on Ghastly.

I think because of the shock of what was going on he complied quite quickly. I cockily smiled at Ghastly, spun around pulling out both guns and firing at the two beam lights above us. I quickly ducked and flicked my head around to watch Ghastly stumble back to avoid being electrocuted. I took this as a chance to get Crispin out of there. All I could do though was order him to run and to not come back no matter what he heard; and he did but I knew that it wouldn't be the last that I would hear from him on this tender subject. He got out at the right time.

I tripped myself into a neighbouring corridor purposely to avoided being burnt by the ball of fire that was Ghastly. Some of the wires from the lights had obviously connected and sparked. I always knew that dreads were a death trap cause judging by the fires burn pattern it had started there.

"Ghastly you fool!" shouted a voice from the second floor. I was now worried about Caius because Tite Kenpaka wasn't fighting him anymore. He was about the same age as me but he was pretty much the one that Braken Ghastly answered to. He slipped through the gap and landed lightly on the rubble. I kept up against the wall to try and not be noticed by him as he darted past with a fire extinguisher to help Ghastly. Whilst they were engrossed in their business I quietly slipped back into the wreck of a main corridor to try and slink away. I was just at the very end corner ready to run when Tite fired four shots at me. I quickly fired back but purposely missed each time. Ghastly was on my list, Tite was lucky at the moment to not be on it so his blood would be a wasted spill. Ghastly stood up behind Tite and I had to fight back a laugh. It wasn't so much the height difference even though Ghastly was about three times the size of Tite it was more that fact he was covered in white foam. I could just about make out his eyes and the bits of his hair that were left.

"Don't waste bullets on her, I'll get her next time. You will pay for this Tom Sawyer. I will get you!" hollered Ghastly.

"Not if I get you first!" I shouted back once they had disappeared around the corner. I sighed and closed my eyes before rummaging through the rubble to find my wig, it was my only surviving one! Just as I pulled it out from the mess Caius swung himself down from the second floor, luckily he was only covered in a few cuts and bruises.

"Well that went well didn't it?" he muttered with a grin as I turned around to face him.

"What? Well we're not dead, only a few scratches that can easily be patched up. Shall we go grab a Chinese in celebration?" Caius joked as he helped me across all of the rubble. I grinned in reply and slunk off down the corridor to head home. I wouldn't feel the pain from the fight till tomorrow morning. I didn't mention to Caius that Crispin saw me change to who I really am, I didn't want him to stress and he annoys me when he's having a stress.
