"It's me your aunt Val" She replied

"My mother's sister how do I know it's really you" I said

She got up and picked a picture up off the entertainment center and handed it to me. It was a picture of my mom Dad and me. I had tears falling from my eye when she pulled me in to a hug practically squishing Bane.

"Let me out you squishing me" Bane said

She let us go and we looked at Max.

"I'm glad to meet my cousin good to know we have some real family members out there" Max said

"Yeah after my parents died I thought I had no one till Ash came along then I met Bane" I said

"I know this might be personal but who is Sam" Max asked

"umm he's lie us except he works for the school he held me at the School for Four or five years and did other things I don't want to talk about" I said hoping she can't see how scared he has made me.

"okay well I glad everyone got away from him" Max said

"Thanks to Nudge and Angel it was there plan on escaping" I said

"can I go to my room I'm really tired" I Said not trying to sound rude

"yes I will show you where It's at" my Aunt said

We stood up and she took me upstairs and pointed to my room at the end of the hall. I walked in and Shadow was in there playing with Ash I sat Bane on the bed next to me.

"Are you okay" Shadow asked

"I'm fine" I said

He stared at me for a minute looking in my eyes I was hoping he wouldn't see no emotion it them.

"No you're not why do you lie" Shadow said

"Yes I am and why do you care" I asked

"You're not with Sam anymore you don't got to fake your feelings" Shadow continued

"No but I'm with a bunch of strangers who won't understand what I've been through" I said

"We have all been in crates and been experimented on" Shadow said

"It's more than that what happened to me didn't happen to you" I said as I started crying

Shadow sat down on the bed and pulled me in his arms at first I put up a fight as memories started flowing through my head. I stopped fighting as darkness was over coming me. I fell asleep in his arms. He woke me up about two hours later because he was trying to get up and I was lying on his arm.

"I'm sorry about earlier" I said

"You don't have to apologize I guess your right more stuff happened to you" Shadow replied

We sat in the silence for five minutes

"But I do care Red something draws me to you, I feel like I have known you my whole life even though I have only known you for a couple days"

"I understand I feel the same but I can't bring myself to trust anyone right now" I Replied

Shadow left my room and I laid down with the kids watching Scooby doo.
