********** Chapter 2 **********
Kenneth and Jonathan were still talking about Joey.
"You know, that check will not be cleared unless I have Joey." Kenneth said.
"Kenneth, you can trust me..." Jonathan said.
"Please, call me Ken." Kenneth said.
"Well Ken, I'll warn you, I hate the boy and I beat him, he'll be a bit banged up when you get him." Jonathan said.
"I'll be the judge of that; let me see him." Ken said.
Jonathan got up and signaled for Ken to follow him. Ken and his two main bodyguards followed.
Jonathan stepped up to Joey's door and kicked it opened. He expected to see Joey sleeping in bed; but he busted into an empty room. He looked around franticly, flipping things over, and calling Joey's name.
Kenneth stood at the door looking around the room and at Jonathan turning things over; from Jonathan's yelling he knew that Joey ran away.
"I'll let you keep the check; but it will not be turned to cash until I have Joey." Ken said. "Let's go boys."
Jonathan looked at Joey's window which was still opened; he walked over to it and slammed it shut.
"I'll find you and I beat you so bad you'll never walk again!!!" He snarled as he exited to room.
**********
Tristan was in bed when he heard his parents arguing again.
"I've got to get out of here!!!" Tristan whispered.
He quickly but silently got out of bed and got his smallest suitcase. He silently rushed around the room and packed important things into his case and pocketed deck.
He rushed over to his window and tossed his suitcase out; he quickly climbed out and ran to the drainpipe and shimmied his way down. When he reached the ground, he grabbed his suitcase and ran to the only person he knew would take him in.
**********
Seto and Mokuba were still playing their game when the doorbell rang.
Seto looked at the clock and saw that it was nearly eight.
"Who would be coming here this late?" Mokuba asked as he noticed the time.
"I don't know..." Seto said as he headed for the door.
He quickly went down the stairs and reached the door. There's a small screen that can spy on who's at the door. Seto turn it on and was a little surprised at who he saw.
"What in the world is Tristan doing here?" Seto asked himself as he opened the door.
Tristan was relieved that Seto opened the door for him. Seto had been nice to the group lately and actually said that he accepted everyone as friends.
"Hello Seto..." Tristan said. He was wondering how he was going to explain everything to Seto.
"Hello, may I ask what you are doing here so late?" Seto asked.
"I need a place to stay..." Tristan said, he was at a loss of words.
Seto thought for a moment.
'Maybe there is something up at home...' Seto thought.
"Come on in." Seto said as he ushered Tristan in.
Tristan stepped in at the same time Mokuba stormed down stairs.
"Hey Tristan, what's up?!" Mokuba chirped.
"Hey Mokuba, nothing much..." Tristan said.
They all went into the living room and sat down.
"Mokuba, you should go take a bath, tomorrow you have a club meeting remember?" Seto said.
"Oh man, I forgot!!! See you later Tristan!" Mokuba said, and then he rushed up stairs to his room.
When they heard a door slam, Tristan asked a question.
"Mokuba's a part of a club?" Tristan asked.
"Yeah, it's something he signed up in school for." Seto said. "Every week, they have at least three meetings."
Tristan nodded in understanding.
The two stayed quiet for a few moments until the question that was burning him ever since Tristan came, finally came out.
"Tristan, why are you here?" Seto asked.
Tristan thought of what he should say.
'Should I tell him?' He thought. 'I should...' Tristan sighed.
"My parents..." Tristan began. "They hate me for almost no reason. They beat me, they use me, they do all these hateful things and I receive no love. Anytime they argue, they have a fight and I get in the middle of it; they beat me up with their anger for each other. Tonight, I could hear them arguing and I wasn't going to stand for it anymore, so I ran away."
After that, Seto didn't know what to say. He saw Tristan's parents before, but they didn't seem abusive, they looked like they loved Tristan; they treated him like their pride and joy, but he didn't know what happened when they were home.
"Tristan, you can live here if you'd like; I'm not going to let your parents hurt you." Seto said. He got up and went to go sit by Tristan.
"Thank you..." Tristan whispered as tears ran down his cheeks.
Seto brushed them away with his thumb and whispered words of comfort to him.
**********
Mrs. Lovely had taken care of Joey; she already knew what had happened to him. Joey didn't tell her, she just knew. Mrs. L always had a sense of things that were troubling people. She knew how much Joey could eat, so she sent him to a spare bedroom and went to go cook up some food.
When Joey arrived into her house, her kitten had taken an immediate liking to him. It was a cute little five week old with black fur and orange. When Mrs. L sent him up to the bedroom, he took the kitten with him. Right now the cat had no name.
"Joey, it's ready!!!" She called as she set the table.
Joey walked down the stairs with the kitten on his shoulder.
"Take a seat honey." She said.
Joey walked over and pulled out a seat to sit down. Mrs. L came over to him with a big plate of food. It consisted of rice, fried chicken, lima beans, and carrots. Mrs. L had the same.
"Now let's say grace." She said as she clasped her hands together; Joey did the same.
After they said grace, they dug in.
"Now Joey, you have to eat everything in order to have dessert." She said.
Joey smirked at her.
"Mrs. L, you know that won't be a problem." He said as he stuffed another spoon of rice in his mouth.
Mrs. L snickered as she continued to eat.
**********
Cleo was storming up the stairs to her son's room; she needed something to help vent her anger out; so she was planning to beat Tristan.
She opened to door expecting to see Tristan in bed; but was inside an empty room.
"Where are you Tristan?!!!" She shrieked.
Cleo looked around the room until her eyes landed on the window.
"Damned boy, he ran away..." She hissed.
She walked out of the room and went to go tell Jason.
**********
"How could that jackass let such an important being escape?!!" Kenneth yelled.
Ken left Jonathan's house fuming.
"Boss, calm down." Zeta said. "You're going to stress yourself out."
"Shut up..." Ken said.
Ken wanted Joey because he had powers that could help him rule the world. The only problems were that he didn't know how powerful Joey was; and if he was even full human. Ken sensed Joey's powers one day while he was in his limo; just looking at Joey, he could tell that the boy was very powerful. There were a few things about himself that he kept a secret, one of them was that he was a demon. He collected powerful beings at any costs and didn't care for anyone's life but his. But Joey's life, he wanted to protect, Joey was beautiful and would make the perfect partner; but he feared his friends, he saw how powerful they were, and he sees that they would do just about anything to protect him.
There was also another problem; Joey didn't know of his own powers. Jonathan knew because he saw Joey use them a few times when he was little, in order to protect his little sister. But when Joey got separated from Serenity, he slowly began to forget about his powers until the day he couldn't remember one thing about them. As far as Jonathan was concerned he said that Joey no longer had his powers; but Ken didn't believe him, he could sense that Joey still had his powers; it was only a matter of time before he regained them.
"You boys go home..." Ken mumbled. "I'll be fine here..."
"Are you sure?" Drake asked.
Ken nodded and the two left their boss to be alone.
**********
Yugi had just hung up after calling Joey five times by his home phone.
'I better try his cell then.' Yugi thought.
He picked up the phone and dialed the number. After three rings someone answered.
"Hello?" The voice said.
"Joey?" Yugi asked.
Joey quickly swallowed the cake he was eating.
"Hey Yug, how are you doing?" Joey asked.
"Fine, are you home?" Yugi asked.
"No, I'm not." Joey said. He was beginning to get a little nervous; he didn't know what questions Yugi was going to ask.
"Then where are you?" Yugi asked.
"I'm staying at a friend's house for a few nights." Joey said.
"Oh..." Yugi said.
"Yugi!!! It's almost time for that movie you were talking about!!!" Grandpa yelled.
"Joey I have to go; see you later." Yugi said then he hung up.
Joey hung up a few seconds later.
"Joey, do you want to watch some TV?" Mrs. L asked.
"Yeah, sure..." Joey said.
He and Mrs. L went into the living room; a few minutes he fell asleep with the kitten in his arms.
Mrs. L went to go get a blanket and draped it over Joey.
'I have to speak to Joey about his dad; he should stay away from him.' She thought.
Then a sense came over her.
"Oh my god, he can't be a... it can't be possible..." She whispered as she looked down at Joey. "If he is, I must protect him..."
To be continued...
