Sycocat: Chris joins the cast in this chapter, how do you feel about that Chris honey?

Chris: I'd rather not be in your story, you're crazy.

Sycocat: pouts Am not.

Chris: You just said that you like the color of blood, that sounds pretty crazy to me.

Sycocat: Well I do like the color, it's a pretty red, and I like red...Erutis you don't think that I'm crazy, do you?

Erutis: ...You made Krayon kiss me. You must have a few screws loose.

Sycocat: Raenef?

Raenef: I think you're a little weird...but not crazy.smiles

Sycocat: Aww. What about you, Eclipse?

Eclipse:...

Sycocat: Eclipse?

Eclipse:...glares

Sycocat: Meany. Let's just get on to the story...

Ch. 4: A little convincing

"Um Chris?" Hejem stood behind the boy as he performed yet another of his crazy spells or demon

summons.

He stood over a large circle that was glowing.

Chris didn't look up and continued to chant.

"Ahem, Chris? I've been thinking...You need some time off from your duties. Besides, you're scaring

everyone with this nonsense."

Only now did Chris cease his chanting, causing the circle to stop glowing.

He turned around.

"What do you mean 'time off'?"

"Well I just thought that you...might be missing those friends of yours." he said finally thinking of

something.

"Hmm, maybe you're right. It has been a while since I've seen Raenef or Erutis...but I'm sure that

they've forgotten all about me."

He returned to his chanting.

Holy Rased! What will it take to make this boy leave!

"Well perhaps the young demon lord has gotten stronger over the past year or so."

"One year, six months, twelve days and thirty eight minutes." he said looking up.

"...Not that I'm counting." he added.

Hejem arched an eyebrow.

"You're right, why would they care about you? They probably don't even remember you."

He knew that Chris would bite.

"What are you talking about? They're my friends, they would never forget about me. I'll show you."

Chris walked past him.

"I'll go there right now!"

He walked through the colossal doors.

Hejem smiled.

Finally.

He breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Sycocat: Tsk, tsk, very stubborn.

Chris: Why did you make me act like an idiot?

Erutis: Maybe because you are.

Sycocat: Besides, that's what you get for calling me crazy. Hehehe...applesauce.

Raenef: I like applesauce! smiles

Sycocat: Aww...I don't.

Chris: Then why did you just say it?

Sycocat: Because I like to.

Eclipse:...You are so very odd.
