Sorry it's been so long.

Callypso: That's what you said the last time.

Shut up!

Callypso: Make me!

I will!

(KAT FIGHT)

Kat: should I be insulted by that? Oh well R&R!

"Callypso sit down! You're driving me crazy!" Mo groaned as I paced back and forth "What's on your mind that is causing you to move so much!"

I sighed and sat down "My mom... and my friend Kat. I miss them."

"I know the feeling." Mo sighed and put his head in his hands.

I looked at him sympatheticly "What's on your mind?"

"My daughter Meggie, and her aunt Elinore... and my wife."

"You have a daughter?" I asked intrested.

"Yes she's 12... poor Meggie she must be sick with worry. She never knew her mother you know. She was only three when... when it happened." he looked at me "So what's your story?"

I shrugged "Not near as intresting as yours. I never knew my father and I've lived with my mom all my life. We moved around alot when I was younger but we've been living in the same house for 2 years. My friend Kat is my only friend really cause my life is hell at school. Life was pretty typical until... Basta came."

"He's the one that caught you?" Mo looked extremely sympathetic to the point of making me feel uncomfortable.

"Yeah and he claims to have given me this too." I touched the scar on my cheek. "When I was three. I'm still confused about that though."

Mo nodded with, you guessed it, sympathy. It bugged me. "I'm sorry"

"It's not your fault" I shrugged. "But whatever" I yawned.

"You should get some sleep" Mo suggested.

"Aren't you tired?" I asked.

"No I'm not" his yawn betrayed him.

"Liar. When is the last time you slept?"

"Um... a day and a half ago?"

"Bed. Now. I'll take first watch."

He didn't argue.

About an hour later I heard a jingling of keys. Mo didn't even move. He must of been tired. I heard the loud cursing of a woman in conversation with the voice of Basta. The door opened and an old woman and a young girl only a few years younger than me were shoved through the door.

"You have knew room mates sweet heart." Basta grinned at me and winked. I glared back at him.

"Sleep tight" Basta closed the door an locked it.

"Mo" I hissed "Wake up"

The girls face lit up at the sound of Mo's name "Mo!"

No Mo woke up "Meggie! Elinore! What are you doing here!" He rushed forward and pulled the girl into his arms. Great they had kidnapped his family too.

"Mortimer! What is going on!" the older woman that I assumed was Elinore demanded. "We drive a full day to get here and we fine our selves among these thugs with guns! For the love of C. S. Lewis what is going on!"

"You came here with Meggie" Mo turned his gaze on her "I trusted you to look after her!"

"She would have gone off alone with that fire eater if it hadn't been for me!" Elinore said indignantly "Seems like your match stick eating friend betray you."

Mo sighed "I figured as much."

Meggie noticed me "Um... hi who are you?"

"I'm Callypso" I said awkwardly.

"Mortimer tell us what is going on" Elinore demanded a third time.

Mo sighed in defeat "Ok... sit down this may take awhile."

So then I got the full version of the story. It was only after the two new comers understood everything did Elinore seem to realize I was there. "And how did a child like her come to be here?"

"I'ma teenager" I growled indignantly.

Mo sighed "She can write things to life. Basta found her and brought her here."

"Found... that's a nice way of putting it" I muttered.

"You mean that man with the knife?" Elinore asked angrily "I swear I never thought I would get pleasure out of killing someone but if I could get my fingers around that man's neck..." she trailed off. There was no need to finished.

I grinned grimly "Get in line Elinore. But if you think he's annoying you probably haven't met Cockerell"

"Nor do I want to" Elinore said.

"No you don't" I tried to conceal a yawn without success.

"Meggie, Callypso, get some sleep" Mo suggested "I've rested long enough"

I nodded in surrender and lie down "Good night" It didn't take me long to drift off.

Kat: R&R!

Meggie: Where is Callypso and Kallypso?

Kat: Fighting I think... please review it makes Callypso write faster!

Meggie: Kallypso it the one who writes not Callypso!

Kat: Whatever it's confusing...
