I groan opening my eyes and they widen at the sight in front of them. Megamax is laying near me and I don't know what to think. He looks so calm when he sleeps and I want to touch his face. I blush at my thought and cover my face up with the blanket. I hear movement next to me and I slightly uncover my head. Megamax is sitting next to me poking at the fire. I stretch and sit up holding Fuzzy tightly. I hum to myself as I wrap Fuzzy up in the blanket. I feel like someone is staring at me and turn my head a little to find Megamax watching me. He says in a calm voice "I don't mean to sound rude, but you're going to have to leave here." I feel sadness fill my heart and say "I-I understand." Luckily before we left the prison he got our things back.

I don't want to stay longer than wanted, so I grab my things. He doesn't look at me and I pick Fuzzy up. I head for the entrance and stop because I feel him standing behind me. Megamax says "Dest. At least take these few things with you." He gives me some bedding and food. I don't look at him, but I say "thank you." I run out from the cave and don't look back when I reach a huge tree. I start climbing up into the tree and start building a small tree house. It's not fancy, but it will do for now until I can go back home. I set up my makeshift bed in the corner and I put Fuzzy down on it. I made a place for a fire. I grab extra wood and start a fire. My new home has a door and I smile to myself. I hear rain start falling down and then a loud crack of thunder. I jump and hid under my blanket with Fuzzy.

Thunderstorms are the worst things and I happen to be scared to death of them. I say "well, Fuzzy it's just you and me." Sure I have siblings, but they all went to pursue different things. I well, I want to be a singer, but that's not going to happen to me. I lay on my bed in the corner by the fire. I can't sleep because of all the thunder. I hear more explosions and I can't help, but start to worry.

Is Megamax going to be alright out there? I shake my head of those thoughts and say "I shouldn't worry about him." I sigh and sit up. More loud cracks of thunder and explosions go off. I get up and run to my door opening it to find him. I ask "Megamax?!" He looks at me with tired eyes and starts to fall over. I catch him and quickly pull him inside. I lay him on the bed and say "oh jeez. What have I done?" I feel like I'm about to cry, but Megamax says "d-don't c-cry. Please don't. Be s-strong." I look at him and ask "how can I be strong when there's nothing to be strong for?" I feel the tears fall down my face and I cover my eyes with my hands.

I feel arms pull me into a hug and I look up at Megamax. I sniffle and he says "use my chest to cry all you want." I put my head on his chest and cry. I stop crying, but now I'm whimpering. I feel a hand on my head and Megamax whispers "everything's going to be fine." I stay close and shiver when a huge crack of thunder goes off. Megamax grabs Fuzzy and the blanket to cover us. I hold Fuzzy and stay in Megamax's arms. I say "t-thanks." He just holds me and says "just relax." I find myself sleeping in no time at all.

Morning arrives and I feel so warm. I yawn and open my eyes to find me and Megamax cuddled up to each other. I blink a few times and wonder how this happened. Megamax moves a little and opens his eyes up. He slightly smiles and asks "did you sleep well?" I look at him and say "y-yes I did." He says "that's good. Can I stay here for a while?" I blink and say "wait. You kick me out and then want to stay in my home." I get up and stand by the fire with my arms crossed. He makes me so damn mad. I hear him get up and head for the door.

I turn around and say "wait. You can stay, but only for a short time. You have to pull your weight around here, too." He smiles and says "I promise I will." I shake my head at him and ask in a serious tone "what are you running from?" He stops dead in his tracks and looks at me. I swallow hard and think 'shouldn't have asked.' He walks over to me and says "I don't have to tell you. What I'm running from doesn't concern you. Though, what are you running from?" I look away from him and say "a past that will never disappear. That's all you need to know." I walk away from him and lay with Fuzzy. I don't care how rude I am being because he was rude to me. I look at Fuzzy and out of the corner of my eye Megamax sits next to me.

He whispers "I know your pain." I sit up on the makeshift bed and ask "how would you know my-." I'm cut off by a scream in the forest. We look at each other and run out the door. I look around the forest and see two people running from a hooded figure. I jump on a branch that is almost like a slide and ride it down to the ground. I hear Megamax yell "no Dest! Don't try to help!" I don't listen to him and run off. I see the boy and girl. They look like siblings. I put my hands in the air and two swords appear. The hooded figure turns and looks at me. We stare at each other.

I growl and say "you leave those two people alone you creature." The figure laughs and says in a creepy voice "you pathetic mortal can't stop me." The figure laughs evilly and I say "you are not going to get away with anything." I hold my swords and charge at the figure. I don't care if I die saving people. The figure disappears right when I get closer to it. I stop and look around. I am looking at a tree when I feel something stab me. I look down at the spike that is through my chest.

Ugh. I can't handle this, but I'm gonna try. I reach behind me and pull the figure's arms forward impaling myself further. I scream out in pain, but pull the figure's arms off. There is blood everywhere and the figure disappears. I groan and my body falls on the ground. I cough up more blood and lay there. I hear the two people move over to me. I hear a familiar voice behind them say "I-I told you….." Megamax had watched me fight. He walks around the two people and gently picks me up. Megamax looks at the two people and says "Karter. Cassidy. Come with me."

Karter and Cassidy follow behind us as Megamax carries me up to the tree house. We enter the house and Megamax lays me on the makeshift bed. He digs through my bag and finds bandages. He doesn't realize that my body has started to fix itself. He looks concerned and he wraps my wound up carefully. I groan and wince as he does this. Cassidy looks somewhat jealous. She pulls Megamax over by the fire and asks "why do you care about her? You should care about me."

Megamax says in an angry voice "Cassidy…don't question me." I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep feeling someone holding me as I do sleep.
