Warning::: There are a few jokes in there that I can't write about but hey they didn't say anything in the rules about references now did they ((((IF YOU HAVE READ A RULE ABOUT SUCH WARN ME)))))

"Knives? Where are we?" I looked around at the landscape; fields, green grassy fields.

"Don't know, there's a house up the way, the sky was trying to lighten, "We should be there before the sun rises fully." He gave me a look, "Or we can be there in a thought," the look turned into a 'duh'. "Have it your way," I smiled and wrapped my arm around his shoulder.

"Daddy," we stood in front of a two story house, a fair haired child was tugging on the pantleg of a man will ankle length black hair, "Daddy? Where'd they come from? Are they like you?"

The man turned wid, brown eyes on us and laid a hand on the girl's shoulder, "Claudia, go inside."

"But Daddy," the girl looked at me and then headed into the house.

Jake, Crystal we have company.

In a blink, there were two more standing next to him. One woman and one man, from the similarities between the two they were related. "Trouble D?"

"And we just got breakfast started, the kids'll be mad."

"Crow, stay behind me," I felt him clinging to my robes.

"They appeared out of nowhere. Not speed, just appeared." The two seemed impressed.

"You must be pritty fast for him to think you appeared," the younger man took a few steps toward us, arms crossed.

"He's use to us flitting around," the woman was suddenly behind me. She cocked her head and furrowed her brow, "Your heat's not beating. That cant' be. Brother, is my hearing off?"

"No Trithe, you're hearing just fine. She's dead. That's a new one, even among us," he looked down at Crow. "I didn't know Necromancy was within Man's grasp, with or without enhancers. Are you a hybrid? We've never come across another pure Second Gen. before."

"Second Gen? Knives, that's what you said before you openned the portal," Crow's eyes were flitting betwen the three Humans.

"It's alright Crow, I won't let them hurt you," I rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Leave them be," my eyes shot over to the house, a young was leaning against the doorframe. "They're not a threat. Hey kid. We've got pancakes, want some?" She pushed her short spikey hair out of her eyes, still half asleep. "Too early for this shit. Back down Crystal, Gizel finaly got my amo remember?" She rested her hand on a hip holster, close to a rather large gun.

"It would be a change from you damn knives," I flinched when I heard the tale-tell bang of a gun.

"Feel better?" I gauked at the smiling, gun holding woman. When I looked at the other one, she was holding her shoulder.

"Yeah, much better," her shoulder creeked as she rotated it. "one of these days, I'm going to get sick of being your target. Dammit, it's still in my shoulder. Mike'll have to dig it out later. Another suvenier from Kage. (A/N: Pronounced Kah Gae)

"Did you ever get that one out of your neck?"

"Nope." The one that had been shot extended her hand to me, "The name's Crystal, alson known as Trithe." I blinked at the offer and, smirking, took her hand. The sudden hunger was worth the startled look on the woman's face. "Woe, and I thought Damien was cold," she shook her hand, probably, to get feeling back in it.

I gave a close lipped smile and carefully said, "I'm Knives."

"Interesting, very interesting," the young man was circling around me. He smelled swear, the hunger was getting to me.

"I wouldn't get too close," Crow's words startled me, "She's hungry, she hasn't... eaten in several days."

"So that whole killer zombie thing is for real?"

I stopped his circling by holing up a bladed arm, "Who said anything about zombies?" I gave him a big smile, "You smell so sweat. It's been a while since i've tasted sweat."

"Woe there! Upgrades, that's a new one. Maybe you should try it Trithe," he smirked as Crytal rolled her eyes.

"The jokes just don't stop, do they?"

"Nope," I smiled and glanced at Crow. "I have the same problem with this one."

"Oh, bite me," I couldn't help but snap at him as he headed toward the house. "Yeah, yeah, and try not to kill anyone." He nodded to the woman in the doorway as hse stepped out of the way, "Name's Crow. Are... animals welcome?"

"Sure. We've got a rat, wolf, and panther, of sorts. What's yours?"

"Ka," who flew ove to perch on Crow's shoulder. "Is it ok?"

A somewhat manic grin spread across her face,"The more, the merrier. I'm Kage. This will definitely be interesting." I watched them fade into the shadowed houw. 'Ka will keep him safe.'
