"Tom cradled Silent in his arms as he waited for her to wake up. He was nervous and worried she might not wake up at all. He traced her scars with his claws as Edd and Matt were moving around the living room, picking up gems that were scattered around the room. "Please wake up." He muttered.

"Tom, Silent's gonna be ok. She's a demon remember? She can handle this stuff!" Edd said smiling even though he was really worried as well.

"She's also a princess!" Matt joined in, throwing the yellow gems onto the coffee table. "She can handle this!" He sat down on the couch, twitching a bit.

Tom nodded, but he didn't believe himself. He sang a small song, "You are my sunshine... My only sunshine.. You make me happy when skies are grey... You don't know how much I love you... Please don't take my sunshine away..." He began to sniffle a bit, biting his lip harshly.

"Why're you crying Tommy boy?"

Tom snapped his eyes open to see Silent smiling weakly at him, clutching onto something in her hands. He snorted, "I'm not crying. I got something in my eyes is all." He sniffled, rubbing his eyes as he cried.

Edd and Matt jumped with joy at Silent being awake and holding... something? "What're you holding Silent?" Edd asked.

Silent unfurled her hands to reveal a small black kitten with yellow eyes. On its chest was a medium yellow gem. "It's Echo." She quietly stated, letting Echo jump out of her grip and onto the coffee table to pat at the other yellow gems.

Matt's eyes widened, "Oh no! I forgot about Echo!" He raised his hands up, picking up the black kitten. "Was he alright?"

Silent leaned against Tom for support. She winced, feeling those previous wounds from her body ache. "He was the source of the monsters popping up. He was a Hertz himself really." She twiddled her thumbs.

"He was one of those monsters? How didn't you know?" Edd asked.

"I should of guessed he was one, he looked exactly like one. I guess his powers were hiding, and then they exploded out causing an uproar, summoning all those monsters here. I did get him back to his cat self, he still is a Hertz, but he's no longer corrupted. I can take him away if you want." Once Silent said that, Echo stiffened.

Edd looked around for a moment for Ringo, who was already looking at Echo. "What do you say Ringo?"

Ringo mewled, rubbing right up next to Echo.

Edd smiled, "Ringo doesn't mind if Echo is a monster! Ringo likes Echo for who he is, and so do I Silent!" He chuckled, sitting back in his chair. He let out a sigh of relief, staring up at the ceiling.

Silent smiled, remembering that even though the monsters were gone, she would have to put up wards around the house to prevent this type of situation from happening again. She pouted, whining as she stood up to get some supplies for the wards.

"Silent, where ya going?" Edd asked.

"I need to make wards for the house so this won't happen again." She replied. She lifted up her shirt to see the bruises and scars from the earlier fight shine through. It looked pretty bad. "And to get some medical supplies."

"Are you hurt?"

Silent nodded, "Yeah a bit. I was stabbed in the side, and I have a few cuts. How about you guys. Are you alright?" She asked, looking at the boys.

Edd walked up to Silent and guided her back to the couch. "I'll treat you Silent. You can't reach some of these wounds yourself can you?" He winked, getting up to get the supplies from the bathroom. He came back downstairs to see Silent harassing Tom about something. He smirked.

"Tommy~ You need help with those wounds! Don't think I didn't see them before!" Silent whined, struggling to take off Tom's shirt. She was held back by Tom's claws as he used his tail to push her away.

"I'm fine, Silent! These are old wounds. They do not hurt, but you on the other hand, have fresh wounds! We need to tend to those!" Tom replied, eyeing Edd. "Edd, hurry up and tend to her wounds. She's very antsy." He held Silent's hands together.

"Tom!" Silent hissed, waiting for Edd to help her. She snatched her hands back and lifted up her shirt. "It would be easier to just take this off." She proceeded then take her shirt so Edd could get a better look at the wounds. She felt her face heat up, realizing she was in a room with three other boys. She shook her head knowing that they wouldn't try anything. Tord would have tried something, but not these boys.

Edd began to take out some disinfectant and dab some cloth on the wounds. He apologized when Silent hissed in pain.

Tom stared at Silent's backside. She was covered in scars, and a long strap of medical tape was covering her left shoulder. He began to trace some of her scars now that her shirt was off. He pulled his claw down gently across a particular jagged scar that ran from her shoulder to her side.

Matt snickered a bit, looking at Echo. "Tom likes Silent." He whispered despite knowing that two of people in the house had very keen hearing.

Echo mewed back, nodding.

"Matt, I can hear you." Tom growled at the vampire. He stopped tracing Silent's scars.

Matt froze. "Hey, I'mma go and clean my mirrors." He suddenly said, walking up and dashing to his room quickly before Tom attacked him.

Edd laughed, bandaging up Silent before going to work on Tom. "Tom, you need any help?"

Tom shook his head 'no'. "These are old wounds. They don't hurt."

Edd nodded, going to put up the supplies back in the bathroom. After he was done, he grabbed a Cola and headed up to his room to animate and draw.

That left Silent and Tom, with both of the cats, alone. Silent put her shirt back on, stretching as she began to get up to work on the wards. She stopped when Tom grabbed her hand. "Tom?"

Tom's face flushed a little bright purple. "Silent, are all these scars from..."

Silent sighed, "I had this talk with Matt at the beach. These scars are from my battles with the Hertz, and some are from other battles." She replied.

Tom gestured to her left shoulder, "And that one?"

"An old wound that never healed. I got it in a really bad fight that almost killed me. I keep it patched up to stop it from infection and whatnot. Some people back at home are trying to find a way to fix it." She replied.

Tom let her arm go as he watched her go upstairs to do whatever it is that she was doing. He heard a meow beside him and saw Echo leering at him. "What? No, don't you start on me too! I like her as a little sister!"
