(Humphrey's POV)

I took in everything around me as Kates dad drove. I felt so safe but deep down I didn't. I knew that James was still out there and would find me. It sent a chill down my back as the thought of him crossed my mind. I pushed the thought out of my head as Kates mom said something to me.

"Humphrey?" eve asked turned around in her seat, looking back at me. I noticed Kate looking over at me as well. I didn't realize they had been talking to me. I had no clue what was said. I looked from the window to her, no clearly focused.

"yes mam?" I said my voice sounding horrible. I had forgot to get something to drink at the hospital, so my voice was coarse and raspy.

"I asked if you where hungry? Are you sure your ok? You seem distant." Eve said eyeing me slightly, making me a little uncomfortable.

"No man I'm fine" I said, trying to sound convincing. I was a little hungry but they had already done so much for me. I looked back towards the window. I could see Eve in the reflection still looking at me. I just ignored it and watched the country fly past the car.

" Ok, Winston I guess we will just go home" Eve said turning back around in her seat.

"I would like to go home" I said looking back towards the front. I saw Winston look back in the mirror at me, before looking to Eve. They didn't respond for a few seconds, but then Eve turned back around to look at me.

"Humphrey dear, we talked about it and decided that you should come stay with us for a while" Eve said with a small smile.

" I don't want to intruded like that, and I need to find Stormy" I said

"Your not intruding, we want you there. And your sister is already there with Lilly" Kate said making me look over at her. Her big golden eyes sparkling in the light. I wanted to refuse still but how do you say no to that. After coming to the conclusion I was going home with them weather I liked it or not, I just nodded a rested my head back on the seat. The rest of the journey was quiet. After a little while longer I noticed that we where back in town. We pulled into Kates neighborhood and drove down to her house. Winston pulled into the drive way and parked. Everyone got out and watched me as I carefully tried to get out. After I got out we all walked to the front door, me taking a little longer then the rest. They walked in and I reluctantly followed. I wiped my feet at the door as Kate waited at the door for me. I walked in and she closed it behind me. She walked beside me as we walked down the hall.

"Lilly, we're home!" I heard eve shout.

"we're in the kitchen mom" I heard a voice say. I assumed to be Lilly.

I turned and walked into the kitchen and noticed Lilly at the counter cooking something. She was wearing a tank top showing her bright snow white fur. I was a little taken back by how bright her fur was. Her vibrant purple eyes scanning us, stopping when she noticed me. She smiled and turned to face us, wiping her hands on a towel.

"Well look who it is" she said still looking at me.

I heard something around the corner, making me turn and look. I saw Stormy cutting up some vegetables. I watched as she lifted the knife bringing it down on them. My nightmare flashed in front of me, making me stammer backwards. I guess it was more than I thought, because Kate noticed and walked over to me.

"Humphrey what's wrong?" Kate asked looking down at my hands. They where shaking uncontrollably, even though I was trying to hide it you could still see it. I tried to play it off and pushed the dream to the back of my mind.

"Nothing" I said quietly, trying to calm my self down.

I watched as Stormy set the knife down and walked towards me. I guess the sudden commotion caught her attention. I know that she would never hurt me, but I still flinched when she through her hands up for a hug. She stopped when she saw this, her eyes just looking at me. It hurt more than anything, when I saw this. I could feel my heart beat moving faster, and I started having trouble breathing. Deciding my best option was to walk away, that exactly what I did. I followed the same way I came in and walked outside to the edge of the yard. I kneeled in the grass, and looked up at the stars. Trying as hard as I could not to cry. "how could I have done that to her?" I asked, looking down at the ground. I heard the front door open, but I never looked back. I didn't want anyone to see me like this, or at all. To be honest I didn't know what I wanted. I had never been so confused in my life, just making matters worse. I heard who ever came out walking over to me and sitting down beside me. I looked over and was surprised to see Eve. She just looked down at me and gave a soft smile. I could my eyes starting to water. I guess being a mother she did the only thing she knew to do in this situation. She gave me a hug

I hugged her back, crying softly. I didn't know where to go from here. So much was wrong and I couldn't fix any of it. The pressure of reality grabbed me and crushed me. I felt Eve pull away, making me look back up at her for a brief second. She was still looking down at me, like she was waiting om me to confess about something. I didn't have anything to say.

"Humphrey, dear we're worried about you" she said placing her hand under my chin and forcing me to look up at her. I wanted to tell her, but I wasn't dragging anyone else into my problems. They already opened there door for me, witch was nice of them, but I don't like being a burden for anyone. And that's all I was being right now.

"Im fine" I said with a small sniffle, as I wiped my eyes and stood up. Eve stood up as well walking with me back to the house. I know she wanted answers but I didn't feel being a story teller tonight. I walked back into the house, as Eve walked back to the kitchen, I walked into the downstairs bathroom and closed the door. I turned around and looked in the mirror, seeing a reflection of myself. My face was still covered in bruises and cuts. I turned on the water and rinsed my face and washed my hands. After a few more minutes of looking in the mirror I decided it was time to return to the kitchen before they sent a search party out for me. This made me smile a little. No matter how bad the situation got I still made jokes. I dried my hands and opened the door, only to see Kate on the other side. I jumped a little but not enough for it to be noticed. I wasn't expecting her to be there, or anyone for that mater. I stepped out of the bathroom, bringing me even closer to her. I looked up at her eyes witch where fixed on mine. She walked over and hugged me, squeezing me almost to the point of me not being able to breath.

I paused in that moment to think of her. Here was this girl, who didn't even know me till this year, and then we barley knew anything about each other. Yet here we are hugging in her house. Its amazing how much happens in such sort times. Bringing my self back to the situation at hand I pulled away from the hug. I was going to ask what that was about but she cut me off.

"I was worried about you, I just want to make sure your ok" she said with a small smile. I gave a small smile and turned to follow her back down the hall to the kitchen, where I saw everyone sitting at the table talking amongst each other. Stormy saw me walk in and stood up and walked over to me, this time not attempting to hug me. Without hesitation I leaned down and hugged her as tight as I could, in return feeling her arms wrap around me. "Im so glad your ok" I said softy in her ear not letting go of her. She just squeezed me a little tighter. After a few more seconds she let go of me and stepped back. She walked back to her seat at he table. Winston pointed to a chair next to Stormy and told me take a seat. I did as he told and walked over to the chair, taking a seat. Everyone at the table was looking at me, making me unbelievably uncomfortable.

"Ok Humphrey, you have been released from school for three mandatory off days, then after that the doctors said you can decide if you want to go back or not." Winston said looking at me with a stern look, letting me know he was serious. I just nodded my head in response. "Kate has been pulled out of school, to keep you company for the next few days" Winston continued as he glanced over at Kate. I looked over at Kate who was looking at me with a small smile. " what about my sister" I asked looking at Stormy, who looked back at me. "She will have to go back to school, but we will make sure she gets there" Winston said. Winston talked to Stormy and Lilly letting them know to keep everything about me to them selves and things like that. After a while Eve and Winston stood up and said it was time for bed. I wasn't even remotely tired but I wasn't going to argue. Eve pulled some blankets from the laundry room, and laid them out on there couch for me. I thanked her and she smiled walking up the stairs. Everyone went to the rooms, Stormy deciding to sleep in Lilly's room. After a little while the house fell silent and dark. I tried to go to sleep but I had way to much on my mind. After a hour of nothing, I finally sat up. I felt out of place, like I shouldn't be here. I know they want me here but I refused to burden anyone with my pettiness. After a few more minutes of thought, I had decided. I was going back to my house. I wrote a note letting them know where I went and folded my blankets bac up nice and neat. Mom showed me how to properly fold blankets when I was a kid. Never knew I would use it. With that thought I walked out into the night headed for the hell house.
