The next day after getting dressed and ready for the freezing day Eileen couldn't help but wonder something. Rhonith noticed her concern and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What's wrong?"

Eileen looked at him.

"Are you sure about adopting a child?"

"Of course, why not?"

"Would you be willing to raise a child with such a painful past and would have a hard time to open up to you?"

"Yes."

He kissed on the cheek then smiled.

"Let's adopt a son."

She nodded then Rhonith and Nyxiah left the private home to head to the city to look for a boy to adopt into the family.

In the city

Rhonith and Nyxiah were both wondering where to look for an orphanage. Rhonith learned that the place that he and Eileen had went by the other day wasn't an orphanage, it was a boarding school for girls.

As they went on walking Nyxiah wondered where to look next.

"I could have sworn that there were a couple orphanages in this city but I don't know where they are."

"It's alright, I'm sure we'll find one."

Nyxiah looked at him.

"What type of kid are you and Eileen thinking about adopting?"

"For now we agreed to adopt a son."

"What about the kid's background?"

"It doesn't really matter."

"So if you were to adopt a kid who has anger problems you wouldn't mind?"

"A little but I'm sure that Eileen and I could manage. I know for a fact I can because you are one with anger problems more than me."

"Very funny."

Just then they stopped to see a boy walking alone through the street.

The boy looked to be about 12 years old.

He had dark tanned skin and a mane of messy light silver hair that hung to his upper back. He had light silver eyes and wore a black scarf around his neck. He wore a dark gray singlet shirt and black worn out pants.

If Rhonith and Nyxiah had to judge by looks alone they would guess that the boy was homeless because he wasn't wearing anything to keep him warm and he looked kind of beat up.

They soon got their answers when the boy had looked over his shoulder and began to run. Rhonith and Nyxiah looked to see who the boy was running from only to see two male soldiers running after him. Rhonith and Nyxiah became concerned and ran after the soldiers but they made sure to stay quiet out of fear of what might happen.

They soon arrived to where Rhonith remembered that Eileen had tripped over a bear trap. He and Nyxiah looked around a corner and witnessed the two soldiers beating the boy as they yelled at him.

One soldier held the boy in place while the other took his gun and was hitting the boy with the butt of it.

"You think you can just break free from this camp and go anywhere you like, huh! As long as you're in our camp, you're not going anywhere!"

After a little more of the beatings the soldiers just dropped the boy then they left the area.

Rhonith and Nyxiah waited until they were gone then ran up to the boy who was laying on the ground battered from the beatings.

The boy sat up and saw them.

One would think that a 12 year old boy would at least be a little scared of men since he was just beaten by them but this boy just naturally looked mean.

Rhonith crouched down to his height.

"Come, you took quite the beating."

The boy frowned then stood up.

"I don't need your pity, I can take care of myself."

Nyxiah just raised a brow.

"Really? That's not what those other men said."

The boy clenched his fists.

"If this is your way of 'helping' me I'm not accepting it and you two can go fuck yourselves."

Rhonith and Nyxiah were both surprised at the foul language of this boy but before either of them could say anything the boy ran off.

Rhonith and Nyxiah both went back to the private home.

When they got there Rhonith went to the bedroom that Eileen was in and hugged from behind.

"Hello dear, how did it go?"

Rhonith looked away.

"Well, it was interesting. Nyxiah and I found a boy but the boy ran off."

She looked at him.

"Did he have a home?"

"Judging by how he looked, no."

Eileen nodded then faced him.

"Well, we can look for him tomorrow."

Rhonith just looked at her then remembered that the boy had quite the mouth on him.

"Um Eileen, about the boy?"

"What is it?"

"I think we should reconsider what kind of son we want to raise."

Eileen showed a little concern.

"What do you mean? Surely this boy isn't a bad one.

"You have no idea."

Eileen raised a brow.

"Did something happen to him?"

"Before he ran from me, he was beaten by soldiers and I learned the hard way that the boy has quite the mouth on him."

Eileen giggled.

"You and Nyxiah both have mouths that have colorful language but that didn't stop me and Erza from letting you into our lives."

"But hearing that from a 12 year old isn't the same."

Eileen nodded then she laid her head on his chest.

"Maybe he has a reason. I'm pretty sure that he's just lost and broken, I know I was when I first met you. Look how we both turned out."

Rhonith nodded then hugged her to him.

"Alright. We'll look for him tomorrow but if he dares use that colorful language you can't stop me."

Eileen looked at him.

"Promise you won't hit him, you just saw for yourself that he gets beaten by the soldiers of this city."

Rhonith slightly frowned but he agreed to it then he looked at her.

"Does Erza know that you decided to adopt a child from this city?"

"No, I was thinking about surprising her with a younger brother."

"I wonder how this would work out."

Eileen smiled at him.

"It's going to be very good for us and we're also helping a child that has no one."

He nodded then they both went downstairs only to see Nyxiah sitting in front of the fire place. Eileen noticed how upset he was and looked at him.

"Is something wrong?"

Rhonith smirked.

"Eileen will be joining us in getting that kid."

Eileen and Rhonith both sensed a dark aura coming from Nyxiah as he spoke.

"Tomorrow we will get that little bastard and being him here."

Eileen then began to wonder just what did the boy say that made Rhonith and Nyxiah feel uneasy but she wasn't going to let that be a problem as she thought about what the boy might really want.

AN: Alright, there is the third chapter! Are they going to find the boy in a nicer mood or will the boy push them away? Thank you for reading and I will update soon!
