Sorry, I haven't updated in a looooooonnnnggg while.Oh well, it's better late than never. Anyways, enjoy this chapter! I think I put Stranger a little out of character again. Just tell me what you think!

Chapter: 6

Stranger slowly opened his eyes. He noticed that he was back in his house. "How did I get back here?" He thought. He was lying down on his bed, but he wasn't wearing his poncho and his hat. His crossbow wasn't attached to his arm and his ammo bag was gone. White bandages were wrapped around his right arm and his torso. They were a bit itchy, but not worth to scratch.

He felt something nudging against his shoulder. When he turned to see what it was, he was surprised. It was Mysti, sleeping right next to him on his bed. She wasn't wearing her poncho or her hat. He couldn't help but blush at the very sight of her.

Seeing her like this gave him the sudden urge to "mate" with her. He started leaning towards her. Before he could lie on her, she spoke to him, which made him stop. "Don't even think about it, Stranger." She said. "I'm tired from removing both bullets from your arm and back. And I'm too tired for you to 'do' me in bed!"

After saying that, Mysti got out of bed to check on Stranger's wounds. He spoke to her. "Umm…Thanks, Mysti." She smiled at him. "Don't mention it." She said, while unraveling the bandages on his arm. When she removed the bandages, Stranger noticed that there was a metal wire stitched into his arm. "I had to stitch up the wound after I removed the bullet with my dagger. I did the same thing to the one on your back." She explained, as she wrapped the wound with a clean bandage.

"How did you know where my home was, Mysti?" Stranger asked as he sat up straight.

Mysti sat next to him, but she looked at an open window. "The clakkerz told me. You know, I didn't mean to snoop around, but I noticed that this is a pretty big house for just you alone. You live in a two story wooden house. The kitchen and living room are on the first floor. And there are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. If you don't mind me asking, who owns the second bedroom?"

He looked down and answered, "No one. I've been living alone ever since."

"Ever since what?"

"Since most of my kind was killed off by a selfish madman, who everyone calls Sekto!"

After saying that something very strange happened. Stranger's eyes slowly turned red, his pointed nails grew longer and sharper, and his teeth grew into menacing fangs. This began to scare Mysti. But this only lasted for a few seconds. He then changed back to normal, though; he acted as if nothing happened. He looked at Mysti and smiled at her. "You can stay in the other bedroom if you want." She simply nodded and got out of bed. She grabbed her things and walked out the door.

Inside the bedroom, the usual things were there. There was a bed, a wardrobe, a dresser, and a phone on a side table next to the bed. She went to the phone and used it. After dialing the number, she spoke, "Hello? Sekto? It's me Mystique."

"Mystique, what's going on? Is everything going as planned?"

"A bumpy start, but going well. Stranger's out of commission. Should I strike now?"

"No, not yet."

"Why not!"

"Something else came up. One of my Wolvarks scouts overheard a Grubb Meeting. It seems word got out that I'm back. And the Grubbs have already built another stronghold, better than the last one. They have also been going under special training, which means they'll be stronger than last time."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Simple, my dear. Continue flirting with Stranger until he completely trusts you. Then get him to take you to the Grubb Stronghold. I want you to give me every little detail and weak point the stronghold has."

"Alright, I will do this, but I better get paid…a lot."

"Of course." After saying that, they both hung up. Mysti lied down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She smirked. "This should be easy. I'll have him wrapped around my finger in no time. Don't worry, grandpa…I'll avenge you. I will make him suffer."
