"Kat what happened to you?" was the question on every-ones' mind, but Danny was the one who actually asked me after I had returned with Abby.

"Not really sure. Woke up from a weird dream and was like this." I said sitting in a chair looking down at my claws.

"Ok, so let me get this straight, you slip into a coma for two weeks and then you wake up and you look like this?" Becker asked getting defensive.

"I was what?" I screamed as I jumped up from my chair in shock.

"You were in a coma for two weeks Kat." Danny said trying to calm me down.

My eyes changed from blue to a glowing purple, "Don't even try to calm me down. I've lost two weeks of my life and you make it sound like it's nothing!" I growled turning to Danny in a rage.

"That's enough Kathline!" Lester snapped. "Explain yourself or risk-"

"And what can you do to the queen of Hell?" I snapped back before he could finish his sentence. "I told you who I really was James Lester and you didn't want to listen. That was your fault for not wanting to believe me. And you Becker, stop with the tough guy act. I can smell the fear radiating off of you. I wouldn't do that Connor, I could snap your arm before you even get close to that alarm. Why aren't you frightened or trying to let everyone else know that there's a demon in here Abby?" I asked turning to the young woman.

"I'm not scared of you Kat. You're just like any other anomaly creature. Scared and-"

"Let me stop you there. I'm not scared. Not anymore anyways. My name is Sarleen and I'm the queen of Hell." I interrupted.

Danny's head fell as Lester snapped, "You knew about this Quinn?"

Danny's head snapped up and opened his mouth to respond but I beat him to it, "I told him to keep it a secret or else I would kill him." I lied.

I figured that I was already in deep shit that one more lie wouldn't kill me. Just as Lester was about to snap out another nasty comment the ADD alarm sounded. Cracking my neck I hid my features and returned to looking human. Sighing I turned on my heal and left the office. Jess started barking out the location to the anomaly as we got close to her. I already knew where the anomaly was and headed towards the SUVs. I didn't expect anyone to ride with me but to my surprise Danny and Becker got into the same car as I. Well not so much Danny but Becker was a surprise.

"What are you doing Beck?" I asked much calmer now.

"There's not enough room in the other car. This isn't by choice Sarleen. You betrayed our trust and-"

"And you sound like a PMSing woman." I growled turning back around as Danny pulled out.

The ride there was quiet and the tension could be cut with a sword. Let's just say that the only thing keeping me from jumping out of the car and into oncoming traffic was the fact that Danny didn't hate me. We finally arrived at the anomaly site just to find that half the buildings were destroyed. Jumping out of the car, we dashed to the back just to be attacked by Demon Fire. Growling I turned in the direction of the owner just to see a silhouette of a muscular man. Closing my eyes I took in a deep breath and then opened them to revile a pair of black eyes with red irises. Smiling triumphantly, I whistled at the figure that stood before me clear as day as a handsome man.

"Oy!" I shouted when the whistle didn't work. "Shadow boy over here!"

That got its attention. A ball of Demon Fire was thrown at my being. I knew that if I were to move then the team would get fried. Sighing again I caught the fire ball and shot it right back at the demon with ten times the force. Becker looked at me and then aimed his shot gun at my head. Shock played across my features. Ungrateful prick! I thought as hurt started to take over. Looking away I snapped my fingers, said something in Hell's native tongue, and turned away. The next thing anyone knew the shadow was screaming in pain and then was gone. Walking over to the anomaly, more guns in my face, sighing a deep hurtful sigh, I closed the anomaly with one swipe of my hand. With head hung low I headed in the direction of the ARC. There was no use getting into one of the cars to just have another tension filled trip back or more guns in my face. I didn't know which was worst, the tension or the guns.

As I was walking one of the SUVs passed at relatively high speed. I let out another sigh as the other one pulled up to my side and continued to drive at my pace. Looking over at them, my tear streaked face and water eyes met with Danny's sadden ones. With one nod I opened the back door and hopped in. It was only Danny and I in the SUV but it felt like all the air in the car was being sucked out. I had let my anger out and slipped up by telling them all exactly what I was. How was I going to fix this mess now? Becker, someone I always thought would be a good guy to hang out with, was now ready to kill me once given the word. Matt seemed not to care one bit while Connor was scared shitless just being near me. Abby considered me just another anomaly creature lost in a time they didn't understand. Lester was surly going to give the word so Beck could take his prize. I didn't think Jess knew but word around the ARC travels fast so she's probably in the same boat as Connor. The only one who didn't seem to hate me or be scared of me was Danny. I loved that but with everyone else hating me I couldn't hold it back anymore. The tears fell as I forced back sobs. All I wanted was to be accepted and cared for by people I considered my friends. So much for that ever happening. Say what you are and they flee, lie to them just to have them find out and they flee. Seems like a lose, lose situation.

Danny pulled into the ARC's parking lot and jumped out of the car. He opened my door just to find what looked like blood on the door and window. Lifting my face up, he saw that my tears had turned to blood. Wiping them away he smiled a caring smile. I couldn't help but smile back slightly. Danny took me into his arms and just held me as my once quiet sobs became vocalized. His hand ran up and down my back in a soothing motion. After a while I had calmed down enough to walk into the main building of the ARC.

As we walked through the halls I could feel every one's eyes on me. The feeling of being in trouble for something you didn't do started to fill my being. Not paying attention, since I was looking down at the ground, I ran into something solid. More like someone, and that someone was Becker. In a very small voice I apologized and tried to get out of his way. He lifted my head, which surprised me, and made me advert my eyes. Taking a deep breath he took me into a hug. His voice was low but the deepness of his voice made it rumble in his chest. He apologized for his actions towards me earlier and explained why he had acted that way. I fully understood and didn't hold it against him fully. Sure I was still hurt and pissed off but at least I now had two of my friends on my side. I came to the conclusion that I would just have to keep proving myself to them until I had all of them on my side again.
