At the time nobody was even close to the door now it was hard for anyone to hear the plea from just outside. It'd been decided to lock the doors when they were all in. Although at night sometimes one or two of the group would feel the need to wander outside and take a break from being so damn depressed in there. Yet the plea didn't stop and neither did the fist on the door in hopes that somebody would hear and come to the rescue.

Jade was the one who heard it first and roused a few others to help her discover who or what it was that was banging so rudely at their door. It was the same day but just later in the night. Almost morning which meant many trolls were retiring to bed, the humans weren't tired though. Yet as Jade gathered Dave and Sollux to help her Eridan also offered to come along, which the others begrudgingly allowed him to come as well.

The four slowly approached the door, each having some way of defense or offense at whatever this thing was. Jade adjusted her rifle before unlocking the door. The pounding stopped and a small weak voice asked to be able to come in now. The human girl looked puzzled but set aside her gun, as she did recognize this voice. The others exchanged looks behind her back but graciously lowered their guard by just a tad.

Next Jade opened the door slowly, almost not wanting to see what was behind it. Yet within another second she felt herself pulled into a weak hug, somebody clinging to her and weeping quietly.


Short short short chapter because my life has been ups and downs lately and I haven't had inspiration to work on this one. But! I will be putting up two other stories soon. ^^ So that means that they'll all update at different times. And it will take more time to update or less, dependent on mood. Sorry y'all!
