Hey again wow. Two updates in one day sweet. Ok so i'm making up for lost time. i'll mark where the chapter two update begins for those of you who've read like almost everything. So thanks guys.

Sleep evaded me until almost 4 in the morning. When sleep grasped a hold of my mind, the usual nightmares of the days I lost my voice and my bending never came. Instead, I was floating. No, I was falling fast. I could feel the air around me, whipping my hair and causing my eyes to water. I looked around but all I saw was darkness. Pitch black surrounded me. I could see all of myself clear as day. I looked below me or what I assumed was below, and I saw something in the distance. I put my feet together and straightened my body, aiming for the object and it started to come towards me fast. I could see who it was. Lin was unconscious, falling limp through the sky. I grabbed her and held her close as a white dot appeared far below us. I looked at Lin's peaceful face and held her to me, waiting for the impact.

Bolting upright in bed, I looked around feeling for Lin. She wasn't here and I was half dressed. Just a dream. I sighed and looked to the left feeling a presence. Lin Beifong was curled up in a chair beside the wall outside of the cell, with her head resting against her shoulder. I stood and looked at her, finding her sleeping form beautiful and oddly reassuring. She was relaxed and all the tension in her form was gone. She even had a small smile on her lips. I got dressed and kicked the bars. She bolted up and prepared to strike till she saw me.

"I came to get you for your next job." She said and opened the cell allowing me to exit. I followed her, glancing at the clock.

8:11 am

Hopefully breakfast is still going.

I followed Lin and noticed she seemed grumpier then yesterday. Her shoulders were clearly tense and her scowl was deeper then yesterday in the interrogation. Her fists were clenched tight, whitening her knuckles. I noticed her jaw muscles were also tense. I tapped her shoulder and she fixed a hard glare on me. I now noticed the bags under her eyes. I grabbed her shoulder and took her hand, making her unclench her fist. I felt the muscles of her hand then reached up, feeling her neck. I shook my head, finding my answer. She fixed me with a questioning expression. I ignored her look and moved around her. Facing her back, I placed my hands on her cheeks. With a quick snap to the left then right, she exclaimed in pain. The series of pops and cracks made me cringe and Lin jump away from me. She looked at me and rubbed her neck.

"You knew, huh?" she asked.

I nodded and we continued walking down the hall.

"Your animal mauled me all night." She sighed.

My lips flatted into a line, as I tried to hide a smile.

"Who keeps a wild, wolf bat as a pet?" she asked with a look.

I raised my hand, answering her.

She rolled her beautiful, leaf-green eyes.

I stopped mid-step thinking, Did I really just think her eyes were beautiful?

She stopped at a door and opened it. Instantly the sounds of officers talking flooded my ears. I walked in and it started quieting down till you could hear a pin drop. I looked around like a deer in the headlights and ducked my head following Lin to the line for food. I grabbed a tray and handed another to Lin.

"Chief Bei Fong, shouldn't the convict be in solitary?" I turned to see a cute female officer with brown hair braided and then wrapped up in a bun. She had golden eyes that appeared similar to amber. She was about a full head taller than me with a muscular build.

"Lieutenant Anju, Tonrar here will be working as a helping hand for the police, so from now on he is under my care." The new officer looked me up and down then turned to the chief with worry and disgust.

"How old is he?" the officer asked.

"Ask him yourself. He can answer, maybe not the way you think." Lin said, grabbing a bowl of soup from the lunch lady and on down the line. I watched Lin leave before turning to the lieutenant.

"So how old are you?" She asked.

I held up my pointer finger then seven fingers.

"17?" she asked.

I nodded and pointed to her.

"24. What did you do to get police service?" she asked, crossing her arms. I stepped out of line and held up my hands, like I didn't have anything, then put them behind my back and then showed her again with her badge and keys in my hand. She reached instinctively for her pockets, only to…

find them empty. She snatched her things back and smiled.

"Stealing, ok. So, I'm guess you were the one that cleaned the trucks?"

I nodded, smirking.

"Good job, what do you have after this?"

I shrugged.

"I pity you. Hey, my name is Kyoshi Anju. Your name is Tonrar, right?"

I nodded, feeling stupid for not being able to answer.

"Here, let's grab this and this and then you can come sit at my table with my buds." She said, grabbing a rice bowl and another bowl I couldn't really see. She led me to the register and had the lady ring it up. The lady was nice, but she seemed like maybe 60's. She had silver hair and blue eyes.

"He's good to go, darling. Put your wallet away." The lady said as Kyoshi began reaching for her wallet.

"What?"

"His mother said to put it on her tab." I felt my face grow pale and slightly sick to my stomach.

"The chief?" Kyoshi asked, and the lady nodded, before winking at me and blowing a kiss. I snatched the two bowls and speed walked away. Kyoshi caught up and pointed out a table with three other officers. Sitting down, I immediately noticed two of the three were twins. The twin boys had spikey red hair and green eyes. The third officer was a black haired, brown eyes guy.

"Hey ladies, mind if we gentlemen sit?" Kyoshi asked and I looked at her, slightly confused.

"You can go walk your fucking ass off a cliff!" They replied in complete unison.

"Oh are you still mad about the hair dye?" Kyoshi put on a teasing pout.

I jerked my head to her then looked at the boys.

"That was not cool!" They yelled and crossed their arms in unison. I turned to Kyoshi and pointed to the twins with a questioning look.

"These two are Kaoru and Hikaru. Which is which, I will never know. That quiet guy is Kaske. Guys, this is Tonrar. He's working off his crimes by working for Chief Beifong."

"Cool. Watch out though, she's a real hard ass sometime-OW!" They were interrupted by my food bowls hitting them in the head. I stood up and stalked off with a rage matching no other.

'Why did I get mad about them insulting her? She just a copper. Probably pass me off to the next officer when we get to my job.' I thought bitterly kicking the door to the lunchroom open and walking out. I heard someone follow me and I turned to fix them with a death glare only to see Lin running to me.

"Hey; what happened?"

I rolled my eyes and continued walking.

"Where are you going?" I threw my hand up in the air and continued. She caught up and directed me down a hall to the right. I followed until she stopped at a door and opened it.

I looked around her to see a room full of file boxes. My jaw dropped as I looked up at Lin in disbelief. In the room was a wall of file boxes from floor to ceiling. From the file box wall to the cinderblock wall, opposite of it, was about maybe three feet between allowing for minimal movement. I breathed out heavily through my teeth and walked in. I noticed Lin followed me and lean against the table, beside the wall, crossing her arms over her chest.

I stood there for a moment, looking at the door, her, then the door again. She had a brief look of panic before she crossed her feet.

"I'm here to make sure you stay working and when you're done, I'm going to give you another job instead of taking my officers money." I scowled and reached into my pocket taking the rolled-up money and tossing it at her. She caught it and placed it in her pocket.

'I'm just having fun! All I'm good at is surviving.' I turned to the wall and rolled my shoulders before shrugging my trench coat off. I looked at the wall of files. Roughly 8 feet back is the wall that hasn't seen the light of day since Lin's been on the force. And on either side about 6 feet from each other were the walls that gradually got covered as well.

I probably won't finish this today.

Grabbing the first box, I walked it over to the table and opened it. The file laid on top was a recent rape case involving a rich man and an employee of his.

He is obviously guilty.

There was a picture stapled to the file of both the victim and the boss.

She was pretty. Possibly of water bender decent.

The boss was an earth kingdom citizen that came to Republic City to expand his business.

Under the file, was manila folders of evidence. Clothes, rope, a condom.

Yeah, he's done for.

I snorted when I remembered this job I did for The Angi Kai's gang back when I was a runt just looking for my next meal. I was paid to steal some files from the same guy in this file. When I got there, he was passed out in his chair with his hand in his pants and a bunch of pictures of nude girls.

"You know something about the case?" Lin asked, looking over my shoulder.

I nodded. I pointed to the guy and then thrusted my hips like I was… I'll let you guess, then pointed to the girl.

"He raped her?" she asked.

I nodded, with a knowing smile.

"You saw it?"

I shook my head, then pointed at myself, then poked the side of my head.

"You know it? How?" she asked.

I made a signal for writing and she handed me her pen and note pad. Writing down what I wanted to say quickly, I gave it to her.

"He's a pervert that likes girls, her type. I found him passed out once with his fly down and his hand in his pants with pictures of girls like her, nude." She read aloud. She shivered and ripped the note out throwing it in the trash. I chuckled and continued to work through the files.

Two hours later and about a fourth of the files gone through, I was getting antsy. Lin was watching my every move and it was starting to creep me out. Some officers would come and talk to her, maybe need her to sign this or that, but she was diligent in her task of watching me.

My head perked up about another hour and a half later, when I heard Lin's stomach. I gave Lin a smirk that spoke volumes and she grumbled.

"Come on, let's get lunch." She said and I stood from my spot at the desk. Following her out the door with my trench coat in hand, she led me through the halls.

"Mess hall has some good food."

I shook my head, I'm not in the mood for the twins.

"Wanna eat somewhere outside of the station?"

I nodded.

"So you haven't told me what you thought of the four you met in the mess hall."

I sighed, thank Raava I can't speak.

"The twins are a bit of a hand full."

I nodded as I remember throwing the bowls of food at them.

"They said something about me, didn't they?"

I jerked my head at her and realized she just read me like a book. I shook my head furiously.

"It's alright. They say those sort of things all the time to my face and behind my back. I almost fired them twice, if it wasn't for Kyoshi." I looked at her with a curious look.

"I think Kyoshi likes you."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes before thinking. She opened a door and led me into a garage. She led me to a black Satomobile with the top folded down to let the air flow in. I opened the driver door and stepped aside for Lin to step in. She nodded and sat in. I shut the door and walked around. Getting in, I ran my hand over my slick brown hair. Lin started the car and put it in drive. I rooted through the breast pocket of my trench coat and pulled out a small box. Hitting the box lightly against my knee, I squeezed when a small white tube popped out. Placing the cigarettes between my lips, I put the box back and began poking around in my pants pocket for my matches. I saw Lin turn to look at me from the corner of my eyes and I quirked and brow at her. She scowled, reaching over, taking it from my lips to throw it out the window.

"No smoking."

My eye twitched as I sat back. I watched the buildings fly by in ablur. We pulled up to a brightly lit building. I looked at Lin… Correction. The empty seat. I jerked my head to my right as the door opened and a valet stood, waiting. I got out and followed Lin into a bar. Music was upbeat but low enough for casual conversation. The place looked like any other bar. Stools and tables here and there and a large area cleared, probably for dancing. The DJ booth was occupied by a young girl with the side of her head shaved.

"I come here a lot." She said as she sat at the bar.

"Hey, sugar." I jerked my head to the young perky boy behind the bar in a leather apron. He was a short haired blonde boy that looked too young to be here. His water blue eyes practically raked over Lin's body with a lust like no other. I was tempted to do something about that look, but Lin beat me to it.

"Hey Ting. You know I'm not into younger." She said and he visibly deflated.

I felt my heart drop for some reason. It skipped the stomach and dropped right to my feet.

"You're no fun, Chiefy. So, what'll it be?" He asked, perking up in an instant.

"My regular and whatever this runt will have." He didn't move his eyes from Lin as he reached under the bar and placed a menu in front of me.

I grabbed the menu and looked through it till I found something that seemed interesting.

"See something you like?" Ting said leaning his head on his hand, resting his elbow on the bar, still staring at Lin.

I nodded and pointed to an order on the menu. He looked at the order and pulled a notepad and pen from his apron writing my order down, then passing it through a window behind him. He stopped halfway as the cook reached for it.

"Now, are you sure? This is spicy." He asked full of concern.

I nodded, smirking.

"Either he's a fire bender, or he's crazy… I'm not sure which." Ting said to Lin as he passed the order to the cook.

"Non-bender. He's just crazy." Lin smirked, as I flipped her off.

"So pick your poison. What would you like to drink?" he asked and I pointed to the jasmine tea.

"Jasmine tea. Coming up." He said as he walked to the far side of the bar.

"Is he a new model?" Ting asked, looking me up and down from his spot.\

Hey woohoo. Yeah right here guys hope you enjoy!

I looked at Lin as she looked disturbed and slightly ill at ease.

"He's the same age as you."

I looked at Lin surprised and then turned to Ting, who also had a shocked expression. I looked down at my hands and felt ill.

"Hey Tonrar. What's up?"

I looked to my right at the new voice and saw a tall woman I don't recognize. Long black hair, a muscular build and… Amber eyes. Kyoshi?!

"Recognize me now?"

I nodded and watched as she sat on a bar stool, leaning against the bar.

"Here's your tea." Ting said, causing me to jump. I grabbed the tea and nodded. I looked over and Kyoshi as she scoped out the bar. She was in a sleeveless green trim robe that was tied at the waist with a gold ribbon and still went down into two long pieces of fabric in the front and back and a pair of green pants. She was bare foot and here hair was free flowing. She was built, she looked like she could catch a meteor and then toss it back like it was a pebble.

"Hey buddy, eyes on my face." Kyoshi said, catching me. She grabbed my chin and forced me to look at in the eyes.

"Like what you see?" She whispered. Her breath tickled my face and caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end.

I jerked my head from her grasp and looked down at my tea with a fierce blush on my face.

"Kyoshi, leave him be." Lin said.

Ting brought us our food. I got the fire nation lava barbeque meat bowl with rice and fire flakes on the side. Lin had a pork chicken plate with rice and noodles on the side.

"I'll have what he's having." She said.

"It's a fire nation dish." Ting said.

I used my chops sticks that Ting gave us to hold a piece out to Kyoshi.

Ting all but ran to the far side of the bar fixing a pitcher of ice and water. Kyoshi took the whole piece in her mouth and began chewing. It took about two seconds before she stopped chewing and her cheeks began to turn red. Ting raced over handing both Kyoshi and I a pitcher of ice water. I smirked and pushed the pitcher to her and she grabbed it and began chugging.

"I change my mind. I lost my appetite." She said, gasping for air.

My smirk turned into a full grin as I almost fell off my seat, laughing.

"Laughing it up. How about you eat some?" Kyoshi said/

I rolled my eyes and shoved a piece in my mouth. I chewed and turned to Kyoshi with a smirk.

"No way." Kyoshi said.

I opened my mouth showing her the food was still in my mouth.

"Alright, Alright. Sheesh. He's got to be a fire bender." She said turning to Lin.

"No, He's never fire bent." Lin said.

I frowned looking at my hands and clenched my fists. I began shoveling food in my mouth, trying to finish my food quickly. I managed to finish my food in 5 minutes and stood up tossing money on the counter. I walked out the door and stood outside, leaning against the front of the shop. I put a cigarette in between my lips and looked for my lighter. A hand appeared in front of my face with a match, lighting the cigarette.

I looked at the owner of the hand to see Kyoshi.

"You alright?"

I nodded although it probably wasn't too convincing.

"No, you're not."

I rolled my eyes, biting the cigarette, keeping it in my mouth as I pocketed my hands and began to walk down the road.

"Hey, I'm trying to help." She called, trying to grab my shoulder.

I turned to her gauging her expression before rolling my eyes, giving her a disbelieving expression.

"Tell me what's going on." She slapped her hands over her mouth the second it came out of her mouth. I turned to her with a deadly glare.

"Hey Tonrar."

I turned to the voice. Lin was standing at the door.

"Ready to go and finish the file room?" She asked.

I nodded and walked to her Satomobile.

"I'm sorry." Kyoshi called reaching for my hand. I turned to her and smiled.

"You alright?" Lin asked.

I nodded and got in the passenger side. Taking a final drag off the cigarette, I threw it to the ground and shut the door.

"You still smoked even when I said not to." Lin said starting up the car.

I shrugged and sat back, crossing my arms.

"This is HQ, we've got a 10-80, suspect is moving on railway line heading toward the harbor." The radio came to life

A 10-80 is pursuit in progress. The only people stupid or brave enough to run from the police here are tourist or me.

"HQ come back, 10-26 we have the suspect detained I repeat suspect is detained." Another voice said on the radio.

"Can you identify the suspect?"

"Water bender, riding a polar bear dog and seems to be the avatar." Lin snatched the radio with a fury and growled.

"This is Chief Bei Fong, detain subject in interrogation and do not let anyone but me in, do you understand?"

"10-4, Chief." The radio went silent as Lin laid on the gas speeding through town and slamming to a stop in the parking garage.

"Go wait for me in the lounge till I get back. If I find out you do one thing wrong, you will be in jail for the rest of your life." Lin ordered. My brow rose along with a corner of my lip.

She's kind of cute when she's ordering me around.

Shaking the thought away, I got out of the car and walked into the police station. Once inside, I blended in with the flow of people going this way and that. Some pushed arrestees wrapped in steel cable to the holding cells or guided people to somewhere. At one point a grieving widow had a nervous breakdown in the middle of the hall where I gave her a tissue and a shoulder to cry on for about four and a half minutes till she was pried off me and guided to the parking garage. I stood in that hall thinking what the hell just happened for about a minute till I realized I just showed the first bit of kindness in about seven or so years. I turned back down my path and continued to the workers lounge.

The workers lounge was basic. Three coffee machines, one fridge, four tables all surrounded by four chairs each and a window overlooking the street in front of the station. I opened one of the cabinets on the wall above the coffee machines and retrieved a clean mug. I scrounged through the fridge and found some cream and after opening every cabinet, I hit pay dirt, the sugar. After adding a generous amount of sugar and crème to my coffee I sat by the window and sipped my coffee.

Want some coffee with your cream and sugar? I snorted at the thought and nearly jumped out of my seat when Lin sent the door swinging into the wall cracking the dry wall.

"That egotistical, conniving witch! Who does she think she is? She's been in Republic City for under a day and she's already causing more problems for me." Lin raves as I stood and begin making coffee for her. I listen closely knowing full well if I don't my head isn't staying on my shoulders for long.

"Oh yeah, she stops a robbery in progress but look at what she did she destroyed city and public property, injured three officers evading arrest and destroyed a shop along the way! She is destructive and needs to go back to the Southern Water tribe. Tenzin was always the kiss up and here he comes flirting his way to get what he wants, that conniving sycophant!" She exclaims gripping the tables edge. I walk up beside her, set the coffee in front of her, hug her then pat her on her head. I gulp down the rest of my coffee set it on the counter then walked out towards the file room. I got started on the files and I was making faster progress from either a full satisfied stomach or a good cup of sugary coffee. From which one, I do not know. By the time Lin had come into the room, I had only on layer of boxes left and the wall was becoming visible little by little.

We stayed there, quiet. I never turned to her and she never said a word. It wasn't till I was about half way done with the last row of boxes that she spoke up.

"Thank you. For listening to me."

I looked over my shoulder at her and winked. I was finished with the last box when Lin let out a yawn. It was the cutest noise I ever heard.

"Great. You're done, let's go home." She said and walked out of the room.

I turned to her and gave a clueless expression. I followed her to the garage. I stood on the driver side of the car watching as she got in and started the car. She sat there for a moment before turning to me.

"Well? Get in!" She exclaimed. I turned around looking for someone behind me. No one.

"Tonrar, get in." She demanded.

I jumped over the car and hopped into the passenger seat. She put it in drive and sped through town. I looked at her with a curious expression as I tried to figure out why she's taking me to her house.

'There is no way in hell the chief of police is taking me to her place to fuck. She could have just left me at the station for interrogation and they have the night shift watching me if I try to escape. Not that it would do any good. I'm fairly sure a team of police officers could do better at keeping me in one place rather than just the chief. So why is she… Oh, that's why." I thought looking at the giant marble building that Lin stopped in front of.

Getting out, I realized that being in the house of the daughter of the world's inventor of metal bending was like trying to escape the legendary boiling rock all on your own.

"Welcome to my home. As you can see, its mostly marble so escape is impossible. The only thing that isn't metal or marble is the furniture." She said walking up to the front door.

"Why do I get a bad feeling about this?" I thought as she opened the door and led me into the living room modest with a radio, couch, book shelf, and some windows. A door led to the hallway which had stairs on the left side going up.

You'll be sleeping on the couch till I can clear out the guest bedroom. The bathroom is up the stairs the last door on the right. My room is on the left." She said pointing.

I nodded as I walked over to the bookshelf and ran my fingers over the spines. So much knowledge stored away for everyone's enjoyment if they just read.

"Tomorrow, you'll be cleaning the restrooms."

I shivered as I thought of cleaning toilets. My stomach is usually strong around the smell of blood and death but when it comes to bodily waste like shit and vomit, I'm worshiping that porcelain throne.

"Don't worry you'll be fine." She chuckled noticing my shiver.

I rolled my eyes. I walked over the couch and took off my trench coat. Laying the trench coat over the back of the couch my shirt soon followed and I took off my boots setting them beside the couch neatly.

"I can go try and find some pajamas." Lin offered.

I nodded giving her an appreciative smile. I looked through her book shelf till I decided to look around and walked down the hall, past the stairs. I walked into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, I frowned. She had a bottle of rice wine, some beers and not much far as food goes. I saw some sausage links and some ingredients for barbeque sauce. I took mental note of that and the six eggs in the door along with the milk. I walked over to the pantry and saw not many spices.

"Hey I found some pants but I think my shirts are too small for you." She said handing me a pair of gray sweats. The republic city police stations initials were stitched on the hip in black.

I nodded and walked up to the bathroom noticing throughout this whole house, I didn't see a single picture anywhere. Not of her, not of her family, nothing. I walked into the bathroom and got changed. I headed down the stairs and into the living room to find my clothes gone from the couch. I ran for the couch and checked behind it, frantic. I bolted to the end of the hall tossing open door after door till I found the laundry room with my trench coat and shirt already in the wash. I sprinted for the washing machine and dredged my coat from the soapy water. I searched frantically through the pockets.

"Looking for something?" She asked. I turned to her and saw a small envelope in her left hand and a small tin box in her right. I snatch box in a hurry and hugged them to my chest leaning back against the drier.

"You alright?"

I sighed before nodding.

"Did you honestly think I would wash your clothes without checking the pockets?"

I gave her a look that asked "do you want me to answer that?"

"Ok, never mind." She said and I walked into the living room.

"What's in those things?"

I looked at her for a good solid minute before sitting on the couch and patting the spot beside me. She sat down beside me and I handed the letter to her. It was unopened with a wax seal of a hook blade and a sword crisscrossed under a Rose with an H engraved on one of the pedals. The edges were worn with water stains. On the front of the latter was the words, "for his Eighteenth birthday."

"Who's this from?"

I shook my head shrugging. I set the tin box in my lap and opened it carefully. The hinges squeaked from age and the edges of the lid were rusted and it was dented here and there. Inside was a diamond platinum ring, three pictures, two earrings both different and a necklace.

"Oh." She sighed as I handed her the pictures first, the top picture was my family. My mother was on the far left of the picture. She was a beautiful woman with bright green eyes and amazing blonde hair. My father was on the far right of the picture. He was a big man that would have put the fire lord to shame. He was scarred from head to toe with cuts and scrapes. He was a fighter till he met my mother. He had hard steely gray eyes and short black hair. Beside my mother, was a boy I hardly recognize. He had short hair and a big smile. His neck was clean of scars and his eyes were full of life. Between the boy and my father, was a young girl no older than three. She had her father steel gray eyes and she was smiling. Never knowing quite what was to happen in the next months to come.

"Do you remember their names?" She asked. I grabbed a notebook from beside the couch and her pencil and wrote down. I Gave her to note and she read aloud.

"My sister's name was Azula, my mother was Hina, and my father was Rova." She read aloud. She set the note down and flipped to the next picture which was my parents wedding. My mother was wearing her Earth bender wedding Kimono. My father was in his formal fire bender military attire.

"Your mom was an earth bender and your father was a fire bender?" She asked.

I nodded smiling. They loved to spar on the weekends.

"And your sister?"

I grinned and pointed to my mother.

"An earth bender?"

I nodded.

"Who did this to them?" She asked.

I shook my head and turned her to the next picture. It was a picture of me holding my sleeping sister protectively to me as I slept as well.

"You loved them a lot, didn't you?" she asked handing them back and I put them in the box.

I nodded and handed her the ring.

"Your mom's?"

I nodded and watched her turn it over in her hands. She slipped it onto her ring finger and I gulped audibly when it fit perfectly.

"Huh. Well, it's not my style." She said, placing it in the tin. I handed her the earrings. One was a fish hook with three feathers. Two reds and one green.

"feathers for you and your family?"

I nodded and placed it in the tin. The next earring was a black loop with a black cross on the end of a two-inch chain.

"Your father's?"

I nodded and traded her the earring for the necklace. It was pure gold and had the family crest engraved on the top, the hook blade and the blade with the rose and the H.

"It's a beautiful design. Was it going to be your sisters?"

I nodded.

"You really miss them." It was a statement more than a question.

I nodded looking down at the box.

"Let me help."

I grabbed the note pad again and wrote down my reply handing it to her.

"Harming the living, won't bring the dead back. I know this from experience." She read aloud.

"Ok." She said and handed me the necklace back.

"I'm going to bed." She said and walked to the door to the hallway.

"Tonrar… Please stay." She had paused at the door before finishing her sentence.

I looked at her before nodding, sincere.

"Thanks." She said before walking up the stairs. She came back a few seconds later and handed me a blanket and pillow.

I smiled at her standing to grab them. Our hands brushed and she flinched.

"sorry." She muttered hurrying up the stairs to her room. I laid down on the couch and curled up under the blanket.

I smiled as my eyes grew heavy. I had a feeling I was going to be sleeping with pleasant dreams and not nightmares this time.

"Goodnight, Lin Beifong." Was the last thought in my head before sleep snatched me to dream land.

So I hope you enjoy this updated chapter of Robbed Read and review people they go a long way for the updates trust me.
