I do not own any of the Hellboy characters.

ENJOY!!!

"Hey…kid wake up…we're here…"

I heard some man's voice say softly of in the distance of my dreams. I tried to look around and see who was calling me, but I woke up to see a red blur in my sites. I blinked a couple of times and gasped. I shook my head of the terrible thought that I just got and smiled up at my best friend.

"What were you saying?"

I closed my eyes again wanting to go back to my happy place. Red chuckled and pulled the pillow from under my head and stood up.

"Come on Neko. Up n' at em'. We're here. In Texas."

I shot open my eyes hearing the word "Texas" and stopped breathing. Texas, no. I can't be here; it's all a lie. I turned my head to see that no one was on the plane and it was grounded. I swallowed hard and slowly sat up. I stood and started to walk towards the exit when I felt Red's hand on my shoulder.

"I won't let anything or anyone hurt yeah."

"What makes ya'll think that I can't protect ma self huh?"

I had to act like a tuffy in these situations, if not I would look like a was a weak little demon. I heard another chuckle escape Red's lips and a big sigh.

"You love to be hard on me don't you?"

"I was born ta be like that with yeah honey…"

I summed up all my courage and walked out of the plane with my head held high and a little smirk on my face. When I got off the steps and I walked off to the side I looked down hearing Red come up right beside me. For the people who were standing there I heard a lot of snickers and rude comments about me. "Is that, the red dudes pet?" "What is a little kitty doing here?" "If the cat is going to save us then we're all fucked and the world is too." I wanted to kill them, do something but no; I would be good. Some one walked up to us and Red looked down at the man.

"Are you the ones who are going to save us?"

"Yup. And you don't sound like a Texas person."

The man snickered and stood a little less eager.

"Hell no. These Texas people should burn in hell. I'm from Canada. Never did like Texas people, especially little Texas girls. Hookers and sluts, all of them…so lets get down to business. Welcome to the Texas military base. You both probably never been in one so I'll say before you ask any questions, no this is not all of it. The rest of it and your rooms are underground. Also the weapons that you'll be using are underground too. You'll stay here; at this base until you have finished saving these pathetic people and killing the fucking bastards who are trying to kill people. Any questions?"

I really did want to kill this guy, but no way in hell was I going to look up and show that his saver was a Texas girl. Red said no and we followed the guy and his men to the base. Red rubbed my arm and I looked up at him.

"Why doesn't he like ma folks? I do understand why I would hate ma own folks but, what did they eva do ta him?"

I whispered as I kept my eye on the man who started my questioning.

"Well I guess he just doesn't like them. He's Canadian, and those people hate Americans. It's just a fact of life. Real jack ass's if you ask me…"

Red took out a cigar and lit it. He took a couple of drags and I took it from him. He looked down at me and I took a long hard drag and smiled while I let the smoke slowly escape my lips. I gave it back to Red and he just smiled and shook his head.

"I've rubbed off on yeah."

"Yeah don't know how much darlin'."

We came to a door and went in. As we went down the elevator, the Canadian all of a sudden started at me.

"Hey kid. How old are yeah eh?"

"I'm a…"

"She's 18 bud, in a couple of days she'll be 19."

Red answered quickly for me. I guess he didn't want a fight to start. I silently thank him and put my head down.

"Thanks big red guy, but I was asking the little kid. I believe that she can speak can't she?"

Why couldn't that man leave well enough alone? I looked up at him and he looked strait into my eyes. He looked at me for a couple of seconds then went wide eye and gasped.

"GREAT! I HAVE A TEXAS GIRL SAVING OUR ASS'S! GOD SAVE US ALL!"

That was it. He broke my last nerve. I flared up and hissed at him. Clay and the nanny's grabbed the man and pushed him behind his men and looked at me.

"Neko, calm down. He didn't mean that."

Clay said slowly. I couldn't hear him, everything I saw fased out and went black. All I could see was the man who I was going to kill. I felt a hand wrap around my waist and I was lifted off the ground, only two feet though.

"Calm down...It's ok…not here…He'll be sorry later…not now…"

I heard off in the distance that voice. The voice of my best friend, and that's what brought me back. The red color left my eyes and came back to its original golden color and I slumped down a bit and breathed normally. I was put down as the elevator doors opened. The Canadian and his men ran out and down the hall, with the leader screaming wildcat on the loose. I looked at the nanny's and smiled.

"So where's our rooms?"

I quickly turned my head making my hair do a 180 degrees.

"This way Hellboy, Neko…"

Clay said as he picked up our heavy bags. As we all walked down the hall Red was behind me looking at my tail. I started getting annoyed so I turned around to see that my tail was a total different color then before. Before my fur color was black, but now it was red.

"Maybe I'm a just scared? Or it's ma home that's changed it?"

"Wait you mean to tell me that you don't even know why your fur has changed color?"

I thought about what Red said and shook my head.

"Can't remember tha last time that ma fur changed its color."

Clay stopped and looked at me and gasped.

"Your ears. They've changed. And your eyes. They're blue."

I looked to the ground and blinked a couple of times. I tried to remember something. I don't know what it was but it was something. Something about Texas…Some thing about it and fear…Wait I got it!

"Boys. I know why ma appearance changed. It's Texas and my fear of it. When I was always scared I would change ma color ta look normal…"

"Your scared?"

Clay asked quietly. I looked at him and nodded.

"Come on boys. Lets get ta our rooms."

Clay nodded and started walking again. Red walked behind me and we were back where we all started.

"So guys, one room or two?"

I was going to answer Clay with two rooms but Red beat me to it.

"One room Clay. The best one you can find."

I quickly looked up at my protector and he smiled down at me.

"Don't want the boogieman to get you."

I huffed and turned around and kept on walking. I smiled to myself and licked my lips. Even though I was in my nightmare land, my knight in shining armor still cut through it all.

Ok people Wasn't that good? Yes, yes it was good. I need a couple of reviews and lots of sleep so that chapter 8 is the best yet!!!
