Silo was back in her bed, she was warm and safe, every thing had been a dream. She held her eyes closed trying to will it to be so. But the lumpy mattress beneath her was not her own, the scratchy sheets covering her naked body were not her new silk set, and the heavy weight beside her was definitely not a teddy bear. With a shuttering sigh Shilo gave in and opened her eyes.

She wasn't home. Far from it. She lay in a dingy room atop an old mattress next to…"Graverobber?" she was shocked, he was the last person she would have expected, and yet she was strangely happy to be with him.

"keep it down kid, I'm trying to sleep." he threw an arm over her hips and moved closer.

"hello?" she shoved him away and sat up, the sheet fell to her waist reveling her soft whit mounds. With I shriek Shilo covered herself again. Graverobber opened one stunning blue eye and gave a smirk.

"I saw it all last night kid." her moth hung open. "I had to get the blood off of you." he closed his eye again. Shilo didn't know what to do, Graverobber actually started snoring! Sliding off the bed she had to leave the sheet behind since he was laying atop it. She found her dress crumpled in the corner of his tiny bathroom but couldn't bring herself to touch it.

The tiny one room apartment was almost empty except for a single wooden chair, a dresser with a large mirror on top and the bed. He didn't even have a mini fridge and a hot plate! Pulling open the top drawer Shilo almost rushed over to the bed and slapped him across the face. It was filled not with boxers but women's panties. Obviously kept as trophies. The next drawer had long-sleeved shirts in various shades of drab! The bottom drawer had three pairs of men's jeans and one rather famine looking pair of black pin striped pants, left behind by a former girlfriend perhaps?

Shilo knew she couldn't spend the rest of her life naked in Graverobber's apartment, and he wasn't going to be much help. Accepting defeat she slid on the pants, they were a little to big but the man had like five belts on and half of them weren't even through the loops surly he'd spare one for the time being. She selected a hideous mustard colored shit and slid it on. The shirt was clean it smelt of laundry soap and had that lingering scent of corps.

Looking in the mirror Shilo shrieked again. "you could wake the dead ya know?" Graverobber gave up on sleep swinging his legs over the side of the bed.

"MY HAIR!" she shouted. "what have you done with my hair?"

"whoa, your hair fell out long before you met me." he defended. "as for your wig.. I had it sent out in the laundry." Shilo had her hands atop her head trying to hide her baldness.

"as far as I'm concerned kid your beautiful with or with out hair, but if your gonna be self conscious here." he pulled an bandanna out of his pocket. She took it eyeing him. "I tie it around my face in the mass graves to keep the smell out." she nodded and tied it onto her head. "come on q-ball." he got off the bed and headed out the door.

"wait, I need a belt." she looked down at the floor. He knew she was wearing cloths she had pilfered from his dresser. "the cloths are a little big."

"we could go to your house and get your cloths…what are you wearing for underwear?"

"nothing! And don't think I didn't see that top drawer." Graverobber just gave a roughish smile and headed out the door once more. Shilo didn't follow. She wasn't ready to face to world every one else lived in when her own had just been destroyed. Graverobber didn't turn around to see if she was following, he had things to do.

Shilo sat on his bed looking around and around at the same things over and over. Shaking off her sorrow Shilo decided this was her chance to start a new life, join the real world. No change the world just like her father said. The first thing she needed to do was get rid of every thing from her old life including her name. Shilo Wallace just wasn't the right name for the person she was going to be.

Pacing the room she went over exactly the person she wanted to be. Deciding on the things she would do now that she was free. She had her whole life ahead of her. When Graverobber returned she was still walking back and forth talking rapidly to her self. "shilo?" she didn't look up. "oh my god she's lost it!" he rushed forward grabbing her by the arms, forcing the girl to turn and look at him. "shilo answer me! What has happened.

The girl turned her head to the side and gave a little laugh. "I am free." she told him happily. The look on Graverobber's face said it all. "I'm gonna be a whole new person now that there is no one here to stop me! I'm changing my self!"

"oh kid, you don't have to change, I like you just the way you are."

"well I don't, I've got lots of things to do…and your gonna help me!"
