Hiya! I was happy with the last chapter and how it ended up. So this chapter is going to be pretty short I'd imagine. Also, My birthday is soon so I might not write anything that day. Also Also, I don't know how long this will be. I'd Imagine fifteen chapters but don't hold your breath because if I fall into a writing slump it'll become less detailed and I'll edit it later to be cool and stuff. For now short chapters :D. (haha jk I got really into it and I was busy so it took a while to revise._. Although it isn't nearly as long as last chapter.)


I stared at Sly with little emotion when the van was coming to a stop.

When we stopped (after seemingly forever) Bentley went to check into a room for us. We all stretched the second we got out of the van. I didn't know how long we were in the van, but I was awake for about 6 hours so it must've been a while.

I cracked my back and my neck and stretched out my arms. I looked up to see the sun setting. ~A Vanilla Twilight. I chuckled internally at the thought.

Sly was looking at me intensely as if he was warning me not to run. I didn't really care for being here, but if it meant I could protect people... I would stay.

I started walking forwards to inspect the rundown motel. Although I felt two hands clamped down on my shoulders. I didn't fight against the grip this time. It was familiar and I knew Sly wasn't going to let me out of his sight. I let out a slight sigh.

"Milo will come with me, I need to talk to him about something anyways." I heard Sly speaking. Actually, I heard everyone talking, but Sly said my name so I twitched my ear in response to what he said

~What are they talking about?

"Sure thing Murray… Milo, are you okay?" I looked over to Naiya who directed a question toward me. I didn't know how to feel for a couple seconds.

~Is she really still on that… I thought to myself slightly irritated, but I didn't let it show. I nodded slightly at her and she smiled.

~I suppose I have to move past this eventually. I stared at the lot before me. There were no other cars around except one which I had assumed to be the owners. Sly gently pushed me forwards. It kind of bothered me that his hands were on my shoulders. I made a motion with my hand and tried to brush them away, however, all that did was get a smirk out him.

~One day I am going to smack that smirk off his face. He noticed me getting annoyed as the smile slowly morphed into a grin. He looked like he had an idea I didn't like that. In a quick motion, he flipped my hood off me and I had no reaction.

"Huh, so I guess you really do have emotions." He teased and chuckled to himself. I just looked at him without even smiling and made my way towards my room. I went to put my hood back up but Sly was still directly behind me and caught my hand. My ear twitched again. This time, it was out of anger. I glared at him and he smiled at me.

He just laughed at this before saying "Let's go inside, I need to talk to you about something." I held my glare at the raccoon as if he signed a death pact, but he didn't flinch.


The room was dark and dismal at best. Although, it was better than the streets so I couldn't really complain. I threw my bag (which had been given back to me) over to one bed and sat down. Sly just looked at me as if he really needed to talk. I wasn't really sure how to feel about the look though.

~If he needed to talk to someone so bad, why didn't he just stay with Naiya. She appears to be very talkative… My thought was broken up by Sly beginning to talk.

"Are you okay? Honestly." He looked relatively concerned and was definitely being sincere.


I looked at the young coon as he stared at the floor. It had been about five minutes since I asked him how he was. Eventually, he looked at me and nodded his head. ~Why doesn't he talk… This would be so much easier.

"Use your words boy…" I was getting irritated and was not really in the mood to sit in a room in silence all night. Although I knew I had to talk to him, I didn't want us to spend the next week or so with a person who wouldn't talk to us.


I looked at him with my brow raised at the name he had called me. "Boy" what a word. I hated it. It instantly made someone look down upon the other. I looked at him.

~I really don't want to talk… but I guess I should… It would make everything easier. Sly had seemed to notice my internal turmoil. He looked down at me as I looked up at him. The air had stilled and I couldn't take my eyes off him. I closed my eyes tightly.

"Hiya…" I whispered. Sly ears perked up instantly and he looked unbelievably happy. I still questioned why but he was smiling so wide I began to wonder if it might hurt.

"Hey." He spoke clearly at me and began to try to converse. "So what's your name… your full name?" I looked at him.

~My… Full name... I looked at him for a little bit as if it was a trick question.

"My full name is…" I paused for a second, "Milo… just Milo." Sly's smile disappeared and I looked at him with some fear. He changed emotions too quickly for anyone to be comfortable. He just sighed and stared at me

"Can you at least tell me your last name?" He responded.

"No."

"Why not?" He looked irritated. I felt slightly upset that I had caused so much discomfort so I gave him the honest answer.

"I don't know." He stared at me in disbelief. I looked at the ground and tried thinking of it. Nothing came to mind except my family.

~But… Who was I? What were we called.? It feels like it should be should simple.

"You can't remember your last name." Sly broke the tension in the air after I was slightly distressed with my thoughts. I looked up at him. He seemed to care.

"No… I… It…. Should be so simple… But I don't remember… I only remember…" My eyes widened and I looked at the ground holding my head. "It hurts…" I whimpered slightly.


"We're almost there!" I heard the familiar voice say with quite a bit of energy.

"Please just... be careful," I said. Looking down my sights I was watching to make sure no guards came. ~There's one. *Click* dead. Another… *Click* dropped him. I watched as the two girls ran up to the house and snuck in through the sides.

"If anything goes wrong, you gotta pull us out of here with your glove." The other girl said. I gave them a thumbs up but remained completely focused.

"What are you doing here!?" I heard a deep voice behind me yell.

"What?" I turned around to see a giant tiger guard charging at me. I quickly dodged out of the way as a few more guards showed up. I attempted to shoot at the ones that got close until there were too many. I ran from the trail and quickly got to a vantage point keeping watch over the girls inside the building.

"What is going on up there!?" One yelled… Sam…

"It's a setup there's…" I couldn't finish my sentence before a guard shot my hand that had the glove. I stared down and winced in pain. My glove was sparking and all functions were offline. I turned towards the house and shot a special flare that marked the operation was a trap. I kept trying to run but the guards caught up as I tried to shoot them. *Bang* one *bang* two *bang* three. I felt a large force tackle me to the ground and laughed.

"You thought a little kid liked you could take down us? Ha. Look, there are your sisters. Looks like they've been caught." He forced my head to look at them

They were... my sisters…

They were being held by two guards and I stared at them with tears in my eyes. I looked at the moose that was in front of them holding a gun. I wiggled frantically trying to reach for my gun. Alex... My other sister... threw her knives out the window towards me. They hit the guard that was holding me and I fell to the ground. I scrambled to get back up and I grabbed my rifle but… but… *Bang* *bang* I looked ahead. They collapsed…

"Heh… ha… ha ha "

I heard the guards howling behind me. I felt a surge of energy course through me.

"Ha. And you call yourself a Hunter. GET HIM." The guards rushed at me. I turned around and pulled the trigger.

"Au Revoir." A huge crack of light came from the rifle as I continuously pulled the trigger. Sparks flew all around me as I continuously shot. Every guard in front of me fell. I turned around and instantly pulled the trigger feeling tears rush down my face as a giant beam engulfed the whole building that the… Tyrant… was in.

Staring back at my work, I could only smirk. The mansion had been reduced to a mere memory, not even the ashes remain.

I turned around and walked away humming and made my way towards whatever was in front of me. ~Never turn back... The operation comes first.


I was shocked back into reality and I was trembling in Sly's arms. He was holding me close to him, but we were on the floor. I cried uncontrollably and couldn't understand why. What was done was done.

"Hunter.." I whispered into his ear.

"What?"

"My last name… is Hunter." I felt exhausted and went to stand, but I fell back to the floor instantly shivering. It was about fifty degrees Fahrenheit where we were. I started to drift when Sly picked me up and put me in the bed. I drifted off into sleep but I needed to tell Sly something. It would just have to wait for morning I suppose...


I looked at Murray and Bentley, but I really didn't know what to say to them. I told them quite a bit about me in the van. I was just really tired and couldn't wait to sleep. I moved into the bed when Bentley asked a question that had hurt me slightly.

"Where is your family anyways?" I shut my eyes really tight before saying.

"Sorry, that is a bit too personal to talk about… I will tell you more tomorrow, but I am just really tired." Bentley sighed and nodded at me. I started to fall asleep before I whispered, "You didn't drug me again… did you?"

Bentley chuckled at this comment. But quickly responded, "Maybe... You aren't the only one that is tired you know." With that, I was out.


Sorry for throwing a huge backstory Chapter at you. But I feel like it is important because ya know... I assume it matters for the development. Also please note that Naiya's backstory is purposefully nonexistent. I want to have a chapter special for her past, but this one is for Milo since he is quieter and is be less likely to be pieced together without too much dialogue coming from him. Anyways, I will elaborate on hers soon. Just you wait ;). Please Review (I really want to read some reviews) and note that we will get much further into the game's real plot soon. Finally, about the initial note, this ended up slightly longer than expected and I am too tired to write another chapter and I don't want to keep anyone waiting. So this will be released alone while I write the other one. Anyways… Cya!
