It was early morning. Her parents were still gone. Squigly began to doze. "Sienna" a voice said softly. At first she thought it was the sleep catching up with her. Then she heard it again "Sienna". She opened her eyes. A boy lay before her. Maybe a little older than herself. Piercing blue eyes, brown hair and bandages covered his mouth. Then she remembered where she was and who this boy was. He was Jack Winters. His face burnt and his family lost to flame. He was to live with her and her family. "Sienna" Jack said once more to get her attention. "Please, call me Squigly." She said with a smile. "Yes...Squigly." He whispered. "Can you find an extra pillow for me? My back is killing me". "Yes of course." She said as she stood. "Thank you" Jack performed the best smile he could. As she reached the door, She heard Jack once more. "And remember to shut the door. It is quite loud out there." She smiled at him and left the room, closing the door behind her softly, and went of to find a nurse. Squigly's parents soon returned to the room but as they went to open the door they found that it was locked. Roberto looked through the window in the door and saw that Squigly was missing and the bed was empty. He saw feet on the other side of the bed on the floor convulsing. He tried the door again and heard the heart moniter beep slower and slower. He yelled for a nurse but by the time anyone arrived Leviathan had already broken down the door. Roberto reached Jack's unmoving body lying on the floor. The plug for his own life support clutched in his hand. He quickly lifted Jack back onto the bed. Doctors rushed in with a set of shock paddles. "Stand back sir!" One of the doctors shouted as the group went to work on Jack. Roberto grabbed one by the collar. "You bring this boy back to us do you hear me?!" Selena pulled Roberto back into the hallway. Sqiugly rounded the corner, the sound of a droning heart monitor greeted her and instantly she knew her mistake. She ran down the hallway toward the room. Her father saw her. "We told you to stay with him!" He said angrily. "I-I'm sorry!" Tears weld up in her eyes. Selene put a hand on her husbands shoulder. "She didn't know." She said. Roberto sat back down and rubbed his eyes. As they were talking 2 controlled shocks were administered to Jack but the droning continued. On the third, Jack's life returned to him. His eyes opened and he drew a deep painful breath from the life support, now reestablished. Jack coughed, his chest heaving, his eyes wide. The family rushed inside. "Jack! Oh thank goodness!" Selena said with relief, tears in her eyes. But Jack ignored her. Squigly followed behind her still clutching the pillow. "Why on earth would you try anything like that?!" Roberto asked angrily. The doctors still checking his vitals. Jack looked him dead in the eye and said with tears in his eyes " My entire family tree was burned to the ground, with only the stump remaining! I should have died with my family, with a death like that comes honor...and with honor... redemption! He was crying now. Roberto suddenly felt bad. Sympathy replaced anger. He sat down next to Jack and gently put a hand on his shoulder. "Jack... nobody should have to suffer a loss like this at such a young age. But we are here for you. You father trusted me to care for you, and I will respect that trust, even in death." Jack looked into his eyes and knew there was sincerity in his words. "Alright..." Jack said. The man stood. "Good." Squigly shouldered her way through to Jack, pillow in tow. Jack looked at her. "I'm sorry I tricked you... could you forgive me?" He asked. Squigly looked up and looked at him. "Only if you promise to never try anything like that again." He tried his best to smile. "I promise" Squigly smiled back and unexpectely hugged him. He braced for pain but instead felt warmth. He hugged her back.
