"Come on! Just a picture!"

As many times as Lily tried to run and hide from this frightening, ten foot tall man who kept chasing her, he always seemed to catch up with her. Her little heart was pounding as she ran like her life depended on it. She didn't know where she was, nor did she know why this man was after her. All she knew was that she was running through a huge auditorium trying to find a place to hide before the man would emerge from behind the curtains on stage.

She couldn't go for the main entrance door since it was locked so she had to settle for hiding behind one of the seats. Once she hid behind one of the them in the far back, she heard his chilling voice once again over the orchestral music blaring through the auditorium.

"Hiding now, are we?" He said almost playfully as his large footsteps stomped through the rows of seats. "I'll find you soon enough."

He began searching through the front row seats first. Lily attempted to control her fast and heavy breathing by clasping her hand onto her mouth. She desperately wished her dad was there to protect her, hold her and tell her everything was alright, but she knew he was no where to be found. Still, a small part of her hoped he would appear just like in her last dream, but that didn't seem likely.

Lily could hear him muttering incomprehensible words as he continued to search for her. One of the only words she managed to catch on to was, "philistine." As she listened to the clacking of his rather large low heels approaching closer to where Lily was, her mind was in a frenzy trying to figure out what to do. She was so afraid, her body was almost immobile and practically glued to the spot she was in.

Should she make a run for it?

No, he'd only catch up with her. From what Lily was hearing, she could tell the man was getting closer to the back rows and it was only a matter of time before she was found. She had to do something, quick.

While Lily glanced around for anything she could use as either a weapon or something to distract him with, the man was growing impatient.

"Where are you, damn it?!" He shouted out of frustration.

Lily then heard a loud boom and a crash and she was too nervous to peek her head up and see what had happened. Just then, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. It was a shiny object sitting underneath one of the seats that she was close to. She leaned closer to inspect the object and it looked to be an empty bottle. She knew that what she was planning to do was bold and possibly dangerous, but it was only a matter of time before the man would find her if she just sat there and did nothing.

She attempted to control her shaking body as she reached for the bottle while trying to stay as quiet as possible. Once she grabbed a hold of it, she held it close to her with both of her hands fearing that she would drop it.

Mustering up all the courage that she had, she willed herself to peek outward from behind the seats and she saw his giant form searching through the left row of seats in the middle, which was not too far from where she was. He was close, and Lily's heart was pounding rapidly in fear as to what she was about to do.

She was bold enough to poke her head up once more and she saw that his back was facing her as he searched through the rows. She also noticed that the red front row seats on the right were completely scattered across the floor. She figured that's where that loud crash came from. She glanced down at the bottle readying herself. It was now or never.

She aimed for the row of seats that were on the right side of the auditorium. She moved her arm back far enough to where she'd be able to throw the bottle far. Lily took one more glance at the man to see him still searching for her with his back turned. She took a deep breath before counting in her head.

1...

She had to be brave, just like her parents. She always aspired to be like them.

2...

She could do this, she kept telling herself.

3!

And that's when she threw the bottle. It went farther than she had expected it to and it landed inbetween the middle rows of seats. Once the bottle made contact with the ground, it shattered into pieces, creating a loud enough sound to cause the man to jerk his head sideways. Once he located where the sound had come from, a smirk had crept up on his lips.

"I've got you now," he mutters as he strode towards the source of the sound.

Lily takes this opportunity to start backing up slowly. She was secretly hoping that there was another exit door she could escape from. She watched the man make his way towards where she threw the bottle. Once he was far enough away from her, she carefully took a few more steps back before turning her whole body around and heading the other direction, making sure to glance back just in case he would happen to see her.

When the man caught sight of the shattered bottle, he began to inspect it. He hummed as he eyed it suspiciously while bringing his thumb and index finger upon his chin and stroking it. He glanced around for anywhere she might be, but he didn't see her, at least not anywhere close to where he was standing.

And that's when he realized something.

He twisted his head backwards and that's when he caught her heading towards the emergency door in the far right corner.

"Clever girl," he spoke loud enough for her to hear. She froze in her place upon hearing his voice and slowly turns to see him staring directly at her. Streaks of blue surrounded him as he teleported towards her and now he was just a few feet away from her, "but, not clever enough to fool me."

Lily panicked and tumbled backwards, landing on her bottom. She then started scooting backwards, wanting to get as far away from him as possible. She kept moving backwards until her back was pressed up against the wall.

The man leaned foward, his large stature towering over her, and a sinister smirk played on his lips. His eyes looked completely bizzare, one of them had shone a bright blue and the iris practically looked like camera lens while the other had shone blue as well with dark blue rings surrounding the iris. The skin which surrounded his blue eye was red and cracked as if his flesh was burned.

Tears involuntarily fell down Lily's cheeks, her back leaning impossibly closer to the wall. Her chest was heaving as she breathed heavily and her heart was racing. The man took another step towards the frightened little girl.

"Now, hold still," he warned as his crimson colored gloved hand reached for her.

She quickly scrambled to her feet and took off running the other direction towards the exit door. She was already out of breath and her feet were beginning to ache from running so much, but she knew she was close to the door. Just a few more steps and-

Click

Her body froze.

This time, she wasn't frozen out of fear, but rather the man had captured her with his camera. She was stuck in place. Her right leg was still raised from sprinting and she was trapped in a running position. As much as she tried to move, she was still completely paralyzed. She could hear the man's footsteps approaching from behind and she desperately tried to move. When that didn't work, she attempted to scream, but her voice never escaped.

After a few seconds, she heard his chilling voice again.

"Lily...," he chanted, stomping closer to her.

"Lilyyy..."

"Lily, wake up!"

Lily's eyes shot open and she immediately sat up on her bed. Her frantic eyes scanned in all directions of her bedroom, her ears barely processing her father's voice until he lightly grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

"Lily, it's okay. I'm here," he spoke, trying to calm her down.

She glanced around a few more times before her sky blue eyes met his chocolate brown ones. His eyes were laced with worry as he watched her attempt to control her breathing. She was blinking rapidly, her cheeks were tear stained and new tears had already formed. Sebastian couldn't help but feel sorry for her in this state.

"It's okay," he repeated softly while caressing her hair, "You're safe." Sebastian had a feeling that she had a nightmare about Stefano or some other creatures in stem chasing her.

"There...there was a m...man," she attempted to speak, still in shock after the nightmare, "He..."

"Shhh...," he shushed her and pulled her close to him.

Lily buried her face into his chest while clutching onto his shirt. Sebastian wrapped his arms around Lily, one hand on her back while the other caressed her hair as she cried. She was still shaking and while her face was planted against him, her vision became dark. She thought of Him again and quickly moved her head to the side out of fear.

A minute had passed before she spoke between sobs, "I thought you said there was nothing to be scared of anymore..."

Guilt washed over Sebastian and a frown formed on his face. He was silent, trying to think of anything to say to make her feel better.

Eventually he spoke again, "Lily,...he can't get you now. He's not real and he can't hurt you."

"B...But, he seemed so real...," she stammered out inbetween hiccups.

"He's not, Lily. It's gonna be okay," he said softly.

Neither of them had said anything else as they held each other. Sebastian allowed her to cry as much as she needed to. Listening to her made his heart ache for her. His little girl was going through a lot over a span of one week after he got her back from Mobius. Not only was she dealing with nightmares, but she was also struggling through the heartache of losing her mother.

Ever since Lily was brought back into his life, Sebastian has grown to be a bit more protective and watchful over her. When he heard Lily screaming from her bedroom upstairs not too long ago, he couldn't help but panic. So many thoughts and possibilities had rushed through his head as he rushed up the stairs while calling her name. He thought maybe somebody broke in, or maybe she got hurt, but he was slightly relieved to only find her in her bed.

Several minutes went by and Lily's sobs began to die down.

"Dad?"

"Hm?"

She peeked her head up at him, her red puffy eyes staring up at him in wonder. "How are you so...brave all the time?"

"Well..." he thought about her question, "I can't say I'm brave all the time."

Her brows furrowed, "What do you mean? You're always brave."

"No," he shook his head. "Not always."

He then gently pulled back and placed his hands on her shoulders so he could fully look at her.

"You're saying you get scared?" She asked almost in disbelief.

"Yeah," he admitted, "When I heard you screaming, I was scared that something had happened to you."

"Yeah, but...you're always scared for others. You're never afraid of bad guys or monsters," she then looked away, feeling ashamed. "Why can't I be like that?"

"Lily," he started, "You're already brave and strong whether you believe it or not. Life hits you hard and it's alright to be scared at times."

"But..."

He cups her cheek with his left hand urging her to look at him in which she did. "I know things are tough right now, but things will get better. I promise you. Just know that I'm here for you."

In the corner of his eye, Sebastian spots Lily's doll that Kidman had made for her which depicted Myra. It was lying on the floor right beside her bed. He reached to pick it up.

"And she'll be here for you too," he said softly as he placed the doll in her lap.

Lily picked up the doll and held it. She gazed at it, thinking about how her mother would always be there for her when she ever had a problem or whenever she was upset. Remembering her soft and gentle voice telling her that everything was going to be alright.

She frowned for a moment, thinking about her being gone, but as she kept staring at the doll, a small smile eventually reached her face. It wasn't a joyful smile. It was smile saying that she was grateful to have something that would serve as a reminder of her mother. It only lasted for a few seconds though before disappearing. She clutched the doll close to her before gazing back up at him.

"Besides," he lightly squeezed her shoulders reassuringly, "You're too young to be worrying about that."

She nodded almost absentmindedly, both of them were silent for a moment before she spoke.

"Can you tell me some of your police stories?" She asked, her tears practically gone by now.

A smile reached the former detective's face, "Sure."

Lily retreated back under the covers and snuggled her doll in her arms, anticipating the story he was about to tell her. Before her time with Mobius, her dad would often tell her about certain cases he worked on. The cases he would tell her about were often mild and not bad enough to scare a child. Sebastian knew better than to do that.

"Is there any in particular you'd like to hear?"

"Hm...," she appeared deep in thought before replying, "Anything but another robbery story." She was starting to catch on to the amount of times he would tell her a different kind of theft story.

He grinned. "Aw, couldn't get you that time, huh?"

"Nope," she said, managing to smile back.

"Well, let's see," he thought carefully about what kind of story to tell her. He did have one in mind which was exciting enough to tell Lily, but he also didn't want to scare her. "There is this one case, but I'm not sure if-"

"You can tell me a different story, dad. It's okay," she reassured him.

"Hmmmmm," he thought about it, "Okay. This one involves someone trying to run away during questioning."

Lily eyed him skeptically. "Let me guess, you were questioning him because he was stealing?"

He chuckles, "No. I think he was a gang member from what I recall. But I remember we had him questioned for hurting a lot of people, so Joseph...and I were interrogating him."

He briefly paused once Joseph's name left his mouth. He and Kidman never finished the discussion about what happened to him and now since he was brought up again, Sebastian was even more curious. He'd have to ask Kidman about him later. Lily noticed him pause when saying his name.

"We haven't seen him in a while," she says, recalling seeing Joseph visiting their house in the past. She would often call him 'Uncle Jo.'

"Yeah, we haven't," he said, appearing to be lost in thought.

Lily took note of this and gave him a confused expression, "Are you two still friends?"

He nods. "Yeah, it's just we haven't seen each other much since I stopped being a detective."

Lily was often curious as to why her dad stopped working for the department since he was always so good at what he did. She never really got an exact answer about it. Now she figured was the time to ask.

"Dad, why aren't you a detective anymore?"

Upon hearing the question, Sebastian gazed down at his daughter and decided to tell her the truth. He was sick of lying to her.

"They fired me," he said truthfully.

"Why?" She furrowed her brows.

"Well...I started to mess up my assignments and they noticed I was getting sloppy."

"Why were you getting sloppy?"

"Well I..."

He wasn't sure what to say. He knew the real reason was because of not only losing her and Myra, but also the trauma from Stem. But he couldn't tell her that. He had to protect her feelings, but he also didn't want to lie to her more than he already had.

"Is it...because of what happened...to mom?" She spoke almost quietly with a frown forming on her face.

His lips started to falter as well, knowing that that was partially the reason.

"Yeah."

They were quiet for a moment, neither of them knowing what to say to one another until Sebastian finally spoke again.

"But it's probably for the best. Plus, I get to spend more time with you," he says, a small reassuring grin reaching his bearded face.

"But don't you ever miss it? Being a detective?"

He took a moment to think about her question.

"At times, but I'm not too upset about it."

"I would be."

"Well after a while, you get over it. Especially now since I'm not as busy as I used to."

Lily was quiet for a moment before asking, "Are you going to get a new job?"

"Of course. I'm thinking of getting an office job. Nothing too extreme."

"Hmmm, sounds boring."

"It's not much different than working in my office when I used to work for the KCPD."

"Hm, okay. Continue the story. I didn't mean to interrupt you," she urged him, curious as to how the story plays out.

"Right," he remembered what he had been talking about previous, "So, we were asking him questions regarding his crimes and he was a really big guy," he extended his arms to demonstrate, "Like he was way taller and muscular than me and Joseph combined."

Lily stared at him intently, eager to know more.

"When Joseph and I left the room for a moment, we heard a loud bang coming from the interrogation room and that's when we saw the guy trying to escape, so we went after him-"

"How did he get out? Did he still have his handcuffs on?" She interrupted.

"Lily, you know it's rude to talk over someone."

"Oh, sorry," she apologized in realization, "I just really want to know."

He smiled warmly at her. "He did still have his cuffs on. Apparently he wasn't being watched and he managed to break the door down," he explained. "We were trying to catch up with him while he was making a break for the exit along with a few other people, but he kept pushing past everyone."

"That was until you caught him, right?"

Instead of answering her question, he continued. "He got close to the exit and I thought for sure he was gonna get out, but that's when I heard a gunshot. I turn around to see where it came from and..."

He paused briefly causing Lily to become even more anticipated as to what happens next.

"I saw that it was your mother. She had shot the guy in the leg and he fell down. We managed to catch him after that, but if she hadn't stopped him, he could have gotten away."

A small smile formed on Lily's face upon hearing about her mother's heroic action. "Mom was a great cop."

"Yeah. Way better than I ever was."

Whenever Lily would think of her mother, it almost didn't seem real to her that she was dead. A part of her felt like she was still alive and all of this was just another nightmare, but then she had to look at reality. She could never see her again. As much as she hated that, she knew it was the truth. The thought of her mom being gone made her upset, but it wasn't like she ever stopped missing her. Lily missed her everyday.

Sebastian noticed the gloomy expression on his daughter's face and was quick to feel guilty.

"I didn't mean to make you upset, Lily. I'm sorry."

"No, it's okay. I like hearing stories about mom. Could you tell me more?" She asked, hoping he would say yes. Knowing that her mother wasn't around anymore, she would take any opportunity to hear a story about her.

Relief washed over him knowing that he hadn't made her upset.

"Yeah," he replied as he thought up of more tales to tell her.

An hour went by as Sebastian told more police stories to Lily, more specifically, ones that involved Myra. By each passing minute, Lily didn't realize how drowsy she was getting. Eventually her eyes fluttered shut and she drifted off into a peaceful sleep with her doll cuddled close to her knowing that she was safe.

Sebastian couldn't help but adore her as she slept, but he also felt bad for her. There was so much that she has gone through and she couldn't seem to catch a break. He was surprised that she still had some innocence even after everything that's happened. She always tried to stay positive and appreciate what she had. She was a strong girl and Sebastian knew that she would achieve great things when she grew up.

After a short while, he leaned downward and planted a kiss on her forehead while giving a single stroke to her hair. He got up and pulled down the switch to the lamp that was sitting on the small table beside her bed. The room was dark now and the only form of light that illuminated the room was the moonlight.

Sebastian kept his footsteps as quiet as possible when he exited her room. He took one last glance at her sleeping form before gently closing the door. He returned to his own bedroom and sat on the edge of his bed. He had to admit that it felt lonely without Myra around. Looking back at all the times he has spent with her, he feels like he had took her for granted. He was always so caught up in his work that he never got to spend as much time as he would have prefered with her and Lily.

Well that was mainly his fault since he never chose to take an actual break from working and spend the quality time with his family. Why couldn't he just-

"The most important thing is that you forgive yourself."

He thought back to the inner pep talk he had with Myra. He had a fresh start now to be there for Lily whenever she needed him to be and he couldn't keep beating himself up over what happened. Myra wouldn't want him to do that. He had no control over his separation from his family or Mobius sabotaging his life. He was going to stay strong, especially for Lily. She has been going through a rough time lately and as much as it's been hard to lie to her, it's only what's best.

Sebastian could still remember the day he had to tell Lily the sad truth about her mom. Although, he couldn't tell her the truth about what really happened to her, he still had to let her know that she wouldn't be around and it definitely wasn't easy.

*Flashback*

Sebastian and Lily had just arrived at their new home in Pennsylvania. They were currently going back and forth gathering all their suitcases and bags from the SUV and into the house. The house consisted of 3 bedrooms, one of them being a spare room.

He wouldn't have been able to afford the house if it weren't for Kidman lending him money that had come out of Mobius's pockets and he really appreciated it. She was going to use the money as well for herself in order to get a place to live and take a new step foward in life.

Of course, he and Kidman still kept in contact with each other since Lily took a liking to her and they also didn't live too far either, so Kidman could come up and visit Lily when she was able.

Once everything was inside, they began unpacking. Everything seemed to be going well. Lily was ecstatic about living in a new house and she was joyful to be with her father again, but it was only a matter of time before that question that Sebastian was dreading to hear had come up.

"Where's mom? Is she going to meet us here?" She asked out of curiosity. She was beginning to notice that there was no mention of her mother, nor has she seen her.

He stopped unloading his bag upon hearing her question and that familiar bitter feeling in his chest tugged at him. He knew he had to tell her and although his back was facing her he had to look her in the eyes and tell her the truth face to face.

"Lily..." her name left his mouth almost as if he was holding back something.

Lily was quick to catch onto this and judging by the tone in his voice there was something wrong.

He slowly turned to face her and as he made contact with her precious blue eyes, it made the task that much harder.

"Honey," he got down on one knee and knelt in front of her so they met eye to eye. He opened his mouth while trying to find the right words to say, but shut it beforing opening it again, "I...have some bad news about your mom."

And just like that, Lily's expression faltered. She had a uneasy feeling about what he had to say.

"Your mom...she's..."

Damn it, he thought. This was way more difficult than he had ever imagined.

A small part of her knew what he was going to say, but Lily didn't want to believe it. The way he paused briefly, the way the tone of his voice changed so drastically, and the way he painfully looked at her felt way too familiar. It reminded her of how her mother told her that her dad was dead.

But that wasn't true.

She must have been having another nightmare. This couldn't be real. Yeah. That's it. It's just a dream. If only she could just wake up.

"She's..."

How did Myra do this? He pondered.

He shut his eyes painfully for a brief moment, not being able to bear the concerning look in his little girl's face.

He had to tell her.

She deserves to know.

"Your mom's not...around anymore," he couldn't bring himself to say that she was dead. As soon as he finished that sentence, he opened his eyes and saw her shaking her head. Judging by her torn expression, she must have understood what he meant.

"No...," she muttered repeatidly to herself while rapidly shaking her head, her short dark brown hair dangling as she did. "No, you're...you're lying."

Her breaths grew quick and short and she was on the brink of tears. This couldn't be true. It just couldn't be.

"This is...just...just a dream. Mom told me...that you were dead and that wasn't true. This isn't real. It isn't-"

"Lily," he interjected. It was agonizing to see her like this. Her feelings were being swung all over the place, first thinking that her dad was dead and now her mom. She didn't deserve any of this, "This isn't a dream. It's real." He paused for a moment before saying almost in a whisper, "I'm sorry."

Tears began to fill Lily's eyes, but she wasn't fully convinced yet.

"How did she die?" She tested him. She recalled that her mom never told her how her dad died.

His lips pressed into a hard line. He knew he couldn't tell her the real truth about the sacrifice Myra made. He knew had to protect her feelings, but he also hated to lie to his own daughter, especially about the death of her loved one.

Sebastian broke eye contact with her and stared at the floor as he contemplated what exactly he should say to her. Maybe he shouldn't say anything about how she died, but then she wouldn't believe him, yet, it's just as bad to lie to her as it would be to keep the truth.

Either way, he had to tell her something. He couldn't just leave her in the dark.

"She...," she couldn't know the truth, could she? As much as Sebastian feared, he had to lie. This was only the right thing to do, he kept telling himself.

"Yesterday, she...she...," he sighed heavily, "She got...into a car accident."

He knew it was bad excuse, but it was the simplest one he could come up with. Once he saw her broken expression, he regretted what he said even more.

A part of Lily was still trying to deny that her mom was really gone. Tears pricked at her eyes as she was still coming terms with what he just said.

"No...she...she isn't... "

He placed his hands on both of her shoulders with a remorseful expression.

"I'm sorry, Lily," he apologized not only for breaking the news to her, but for also lying. "I...I didn't want to tell you right away."

Tears leaked from her eyes and her body was slightly shaking. Her mother couldn't be dead. This had to be a dream, but was it really? The look on his face seemed too real to her and judging by the edge in his voice, she knew he was telling the truth.

Soon, more tears streamed down her cheeks and her lips were quivering. She started sobbing and Sebastian instinctively wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. Lily was too distraught to hug him back. Her face was planted against his shoulder as she choked out more sobs.

He allowed her to cry all the while muttering another, "I'm sorry," in her ear, his voice sounding shattered. A tear of his own had shed from his eye as he held her tightly, but not to the point where he would crush her.

Minutes flew by as Lily cried her heart out. Eventually her sobs turned into short hiccups and sniffles. Sebastian rubbed her back in an attempt to soothe her as best as he could. He was afraid that he had just damaged her innocence by giving her the news, but he was bound to tell her at some point.

It was a while before Lily's crying had subsided and she was left with sniffles and puffy red eyes. She pulled away from him, her expression dreary, as she stared at the floor.

"Is...is that why...Kidman gave me that doll?" She asked quietly.

He was silent for a moment before nodding, "Yeah. She wanted you to have something that would remind you of her."

Her brows furrowed, "Why...didn't you tell me earlier?"

He sighed before replying, "You were so...happy. I didn't want to ruin that for you."

She glanced up at him and she noticed that his eyes were red and swollen as well from his own tears. She didn't reply to him as she stood there staring at one of her bags which contained her mother's doll. She reached for the bag and unzipped it. She instantaneously found the doll's head poking out of her clothes. She pulled it out and held it out in front of her.

She instantly got flashbacks of her mom by just simply looking at the face of the doll and her heart swelled with sadness as new tears formed in her eyes.

A pitiful frown formed on Sebastian's face as he watched Lily observe her doll in a sentimental way. Once he noticed her tears coming back, he reached down and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Are you okay?" He asked softly, knowing all too well that she wasn't really alright, but he couldn't help but ask the question anyway.

Lily didn't say anything. She continued to stare at her doll until she eventually pulled it close to her. A single rushing thought of her brought back Lily's tears and she was sobbing again. Without hesitation, Sebastian knelt down and pulled her into a warm embrace whilst trying to support her as much as he could.

*End of flashback*

Ever since then, the atmosphere had changed around them. He remembered Lily used to be so cheerful and carefree. Although she still shows some of her joyfulness, Sebastian could see the pain through her eyes. He would do anything in his power to keep her truly happy and if she needed more time to grieve, he'd give her that.

This past week he has spent with Lily felt strange and almost empty without Myra. He missed her dearly, but he would have to adjust to this new life with Lily without her around. He would ensure that he'd keep his promise about never letting Lily forget how much Myra really loved her. Despite the thought of Myra on his mind, there was also something else nagging at him.

No, not something. Someone.

Joseph.

He and Kidman never discussed what actually happened to him. He should have asked her about him before he left with Lily. Regardless, that single sentence still echoes in his head.

"Joseph isn't dead."

He needed to finded out what happened to Joseph and where he actually was. Were he and Kidman in contact with each other? Did Mobius hold him captive for more experiments? Was he actually shot? He needed answers. He briefly thought of calling Kidman, but he checked the time and realized it was 2 o'clock in the morning. He'd have to call her later.

With this mystery on his mind, Sebastian didn't go back to sleep right away. Regardless of having his daughter back, the maximum amount of hours he has managed to sleep over the past several days was about four.

Throughout the week, he has been adjusting to the idea of his daughter really being alive. He spent those past three years mourning her, and to have her alive and well right in front of him was mind-boggling. He would frequently wake up in the middle of the night due to nightmares about Lily being taken away by some unknown force and he'd often have to check and make sure she was safe and sound in her room. It was only recently that these nightmares began to simmer down.

He yawned tiredly and stretched his arms before he positioned himself back underneath the covers. As he laid his head against the pillow, his mind was still clouded with concern for Lily. Maybe he could plan something for her or take her somewhere fun just to distract her from all the shit she's been through lately. Besides, she deserved to have fun and be a normal kid, not to be kidnapped by some secret organization for experiments.

He'd have to plan something, but in the meantime he needed rest. This was probably the first night he wasn't plagued with nightmares over and over again. He briefly lie awake drowning in his thoughts before his eyes fluttered shut and he drifted off to sleep before he even realized it.

Woo! This chapter turned out way longer than I expected it to be. Anyways let me know what you guys think.
