A few days later I'm back at my house. Alone in my room reading a book. The door opened and someone came in. I looked up and Joe was standing there.

"Can I help you?" I asked putting my book down.

"Yes. You can."

"With what?"

"Making sure Dave never comes here again!" He yelled. I looked at him surprised.

"What is wrong with you?" I yelled at him.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? I don't trust him!" He yelled back.

"I kind of figured that out!" I yelled even louder than he did. "And so did he!"

"What?"

"He knows that you don't like him!"

"He does? How do you know?" He asked surprised.

"He told me!" I was still yelling.

"Ok. Stop yelling."

"Stop yelling? I am not going to stop yelling!" I sighed, stood up and walked over to him. "You hate him. And so now. I hate you!" I pushed him out of my room and slammed the door in his face. I leaned against the door and slid to the floor. I buried my face in my hands and cried. I had never yelled at Joe. Not once. At least not until Dave came. I wonder why Joe doesn't like him. I mean there's nothing wrong with him. And he thinks I'm pretty. Well…so does everyone else. But I only just met him. But then again. Blade was the same way. Although Blade actually cried when he found out that I liked him…and that I didn't care that he was a cannibal and that he kept trying to eat everyone I cared about… But whatever. I don't care anymore. I care about Dave now. I mean he took me to his house just to make sure I was ok. And he wouldn't leave me alone. So he cares. And he needs to know that I care too. I heard someone knock on the door.

"Go away!" I yelled.

"It's Lilly."

"Oh." I stood up and opened the door. She looked at me.

"Ok. What happened?"

"Joe…-" I got cut off.

"Say no more. What'd he do now?" I sighed.

"He doesn't like Dave. At all."

"He doesn't?"

"No. He doesn't!" The tears started coming faster.

"You like him don't you?" She asked. I just nodded. She sighed. "Jenny. You need to stop that." I looked up at her.

"Stop what? Falling for people? What about you? You do it too!" I yelled at her. She looked at me surprised.

"I'm sorry…" she said leaving. I fell to the floor and cried. I must have fallen asleep. Cuz I woke up on my side, on the floor. I sat up and looked around. It was dark outside. And there was no light coming from under my door. I wonder how late it is. I stood up and almost fell over. I was really dizzy. I walked towards the door and grabbed onto the doorknob. I opened the door and stepped out into the hallway. There were no lights on anywhere. I turned on the light and saw blood leading down the stairs. My sword was lying at the top of the stairs covered in blood. I picked it up carefully and sniffed it. It was fresh. This could have only just happened. I slowly walked down the stairs, trying to avoid the blood. Which was hard, since the stairs were covered. I really must have been out to not hear what was going on. I made it to the bottom without slipping. And what I saw wasn't pretty. Not one bit. I stopped dead in my tracks and stared at the living room. There was blood everywhere. All over the furniture and walls. I slowly walked towards the door. I reached out to open it and it slammed open. I jumped and fell backwards. I looked up and Adam was standing there. I stared at him for a few minutes until he started chuckling. I jumped to my feet.

"Why are you here?" I yelled at him.

"To see you, my daughter." He said smiling.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"You'll see them soon enough."

"When?" I yelled.

"If you come with me." He said calmly.

"NEVER!" I yelled throwing my sword at the door beside his head. He grabbed it and pulled it out.

"Now Jenny. Calm down." He said wiping the blood of my sword with his hand. Just then Dave came in and stopped when he saw Adam.

"What's going on?" He asked. Adam turned and smiled at him.

"Well who is this?" he asked holding up the sword, inspecting it.

"I'm Dave." He said defensively. I grabbed my sword by the blade and pulled it from Adam's grasp.

"And you better lead me to my family!" I said poking Adam with the sword. He grabbed Dave and put him in a headlock.

"Drop the sword and I will." I dropped the sword. "Come." He said dragging Dave out the door. I ran after him and 2 people grabbed me. I screamed and looked at them. It was Damion and some guy I didn't know. I looked at the guy I didn't know with pleading eyes.

"Geez. Damion do we have to do this?" He asked.

"Shut up Nicholas. I know you're only 12 but get a grip. If you wanna be in this group you have to do stuff like this." Nicholas sighed and looked at me with an apologetic look in his eyes. I sighed. This wouldn't be easy. They led me outside to where my dads truck was. Flame, Jason, Shadow, Blade, John and Adam were standing there waiting. I could see that Adam still had Dave in a headlock. I started struggling and John walked closer so I stopped.

"Shadow. Go get her sword. And search the house." Shadow nodded and ran inside. I looked at Flame and mouthed the word 'Why'. He just shook his head and looked away. I felt the tears well up and Dave looked at me.

"Why the hell are you doing this?" I yelled at Adam.

"Because you wont give me what I want!" He yelled back, tightening his grip on Dave's neck choking him.

"Why'd you bring Flame into this?" I yelled. Flame looked up.

"I'm sorry Jenny. But he was married to Silvia. So he's part family." Adam said smiling.

"Máquina de hilar apesadumbrada Im. Él me hizo. Él me amenazó." Flame said. Speaking in Spanish. So that Adam wouldn't understand. I smiled and nodded. Blade looked at me and whispered in Adam's ear. Adam smiled.

"Jason. Flame needs to be punished." Jason nodded and walked over to Flame. He grabbed him and dragged him away. I sighed and struggled again. "Put them in the truck." Adam said throwing Dave to the ground. Damion and Nicholas let me go and I ran over to him.

"Are you ok?" I asked him.

"I'm fine." Blade pulled us up and shoved us into the truck. He slammed the doors shut and walked away. I crawled over to the corner and sat there. Dave came over and sat beside me. He pulled me to him as I started crying. I tried to stop the tears that were soaking his shirt but they wouldn't stop coming, which only made me cry more. He had his arms wrapped tight around me, making it hard to move. I could tell he was scared, without reading his mind. I pulled away a little and looked at him. He tried to smile. I could tell it was hard for him to do. I smiled as best I could making him smile. We just sat there, for who knows how long, staring at each other. He started to lean in, closing the very small distance between us, and kissed me softly. I was so surprised that I just sat there. He pulled away and sighed.

"What?" I asked quietly.

"Nothing. I'm sorry I did that." I shook my head.

"Don't be." I smiled.

"Why not?" he asked.

"I liked it…" I leaned in and kissed him softly. He kissed back loosening his grip on me.
