Amancio Malvado sat in his chair waiting for his Dog to arrive. He heard him arrive at Jacknife Jed's, even from all the way down here. Even threw all the commotion on the main floor where patrons were enjoying themselves.

"Carlos. You took long enough." The serpent Lord said not even turning to look at the man walking over to him. "There was a mishap at the Twister." Carlos told him, and when he got only silence, he continued with his bad news. Santanico has escaped with her new pet." Carlos continued.

That made the lord stiffen. So his bitch decided she can run. No matter. He may have lusted her but he had bigger things to conquer. "But I have good news. I found the one." Carlos told him grinning. He knew what the man in front of him wanted. "She's been reborn."

Malvado turned his chair to face his Dog. "She escaped before I could capture her, but I have her adopted brother as my prodigy. She will want to come for him." Carlos informed his master. Malvado grinned before he started laughing.

"At least you are still of use after the fuck up at The Twister." He said standing. He walked over to the other serpent. "Bring me my queen. Untouched. I want MY venom to be the one infecting her." Malvado ordered. "It will be done my lord." Carlos said bowing his head once.

He turned to leave but was stopped when his name was called. "What is her name this time?" Malvado asked. "Kate. Kate Fuller."

Kate has been living with Freddie Gonzalez for three weeks now. She had traveled back to her home in Texas to collect some things in the dark of the night. But she had run into her brother. She thought she had convinced him to come with her. To let her save him. To be a family again.

But she went out for a moment and when she got back it was a blood bath. Her brother had people over and killed them all. So it was up to her to clean up after her brother. When she finished and cleaned off, he was gone again.

She was so heartbroken for how her brother was. How he was now in no control. She still needed to save him. They was all the other has in this world. The only one in their family.

So she packed the car and left to Freddie. He had listened to her words about what happened when she left with Seth Gecko after the whole Titty Twister incident all the way to when she appeared in front of him.

So he allowed her to stay with him and his family. He promised to help her find her brother. But he couldn't promise to not hurt Scott if he was a danger, or not hurt anyone he was with if they were also a danger.

She knew the Ranger had to do what he felt was right.

But in her heart, she knew she would do anything to save her brother.

So everyday, Freddie took Kate out and trained her to protect herself, like Seth did, taught her how to make weapons out of things around her. How to make a stake. Things to keep her safe on her journey.

Kate still thought of Richie. Was he finally happy? Did Santanico make him happy? Did he miss Seth? Did he... Did he miss her? What would've happened if she and Richie had met under different situations? Would he take her on cute dates? Would he repent for his sins?

All these thoughts and more that went threw her mind kept her up at night most nights. She found herself childishly wishing this was a dream. That she will wake up and smell her moms pancakes.

Hear Scott in his room snoring. To go down and see her parents happy and in love.

But she knew better then to hold onto that. Her parents were dead, and they weren't ever coming back.

She was to grow up and be the hero of her own story. She cant rely on others. Not forever. She had to take control. She had no choice. Like she never did. But now she chose how she lived and she chose to take control.

She was getting Scott the help he needs and try to make things better.
