Chapter 9

I do not own 'Hellboy'. I only own Amelia, Levi, Felix, the twins, Drake, and any other characters you don't recognize from the movies as I am not all that familiar with the comics. Sorry if this chapter and the last one seemed to drag on and stuff but it's hard to work up to a certain point and need to write a few things in between to do so. In the mean time, I promise I will have more exciting stuff happen very soon, I just need to get there.

Dinner at the Parkings residence was spent mostly with Levi telling Kelly and Mrs. Parkings about the mission he had been on as the two had began begging him for stories and Levi was glad to talk. By the end of dinner, all three of the teens offered to help clean up the remains of dinner but Mrs. Parkings wouldn't have it as she sent the three teens off to enjoy themselves. Amelia then offered for Kelly to sleep over and Kelly accepted as she headed up to her room to collect a few things for the night. While Kelly did that, Amelia called Abe with her cell phone asking if Kelly could sleep over and the answer was obviously 'yes'. Kelly soon came back down the stairs with a small backpack slung over one shoulder and Mrs. Parkings made sure to hug each of the three teens goodbye as they all headed out the door towards Levi's car.

The rain had stopped a little while ago and resulted in the pavement being slightly slippery as they made their way out but the three teens managed as they piled into the car. Levi obviously sat in the drivers seat as Amelia sat up front in the passengers seat and Kelly took the back seat and as soon as everyone was buckled in they were soon on their way. They soon reached the BPRD as Levi pulled into the garage as he parked in it's designated spot and everyone climbed out of the car. Kelly slung her small bag over her shoulder once more as the three of them began walking down the halls with Levi's arms around the both of them as they walked. Kelly and Amelia laughed as they each put an arm around Levi and they all headed towards Amelia's room to drop off Kelly's things. On their way, Onyx and Coal suddenly appeared in the hallway with Oak right beside them with Felix running beside him as they rushed towards the three teens with Myers attempting to keep up to them as their dove-like wings lightly flapped but not enough to lift them up into the air.

"KELLY!" the twins cried at the same time as they both crashed into Kelly and she laughed as she embraced them both. Oak trotted up to Amelia's side as Amelia patted his head and Felix scurried up to sit on Levi's shoulder.

"Aww, look at you two" Kelly said, "I haven't seen you guys since forever."

Onyx and Coal laughed as they continued to hug Kelly and it was then that Myers was able to catch up.

"Whew, remind me never to have my own kids" Myers said as he took a few exhausted breaths and Levi and Amelia laughed.

"We'll take them for the rest of the night." Amelia said and Myers nodded as he excused himself to go to the kitchen for a refreshing glass of water.

Onyx and Coal soon released Kelly from their hold as Onyx took Kelly's hand and Coal took her other hand as they continued down the halls. They soon made it to Amelia's room as Kelly placed her bag inside and they all headed into the library to hang out. As they neared the library doors, Amelia spotted a note taped to the door and Amelia took the note off of the door as she read it.

Dear Amelia,

While you were gone, a small mission was called and Hellboy, Liz, and I will not be back until very late tonight. If Kelly is sleeping over then you are free to use the library for tonight, I expect you all to behave and keep out of trouble whilst we are gone. There are a few snacks in the kitchen so help yourselves and in the mean time, enjoy yourselves and have fun.

Love, uncle Abe.

"Who says we're going to cause trouble?" Levi asked as he and Kelly had been reading over Amelia's shoulder.

"Uh hello, it's us." Amelia replied, "We're practically trouble magnets, even more now that Drake is here too."

"Very funny."

They all laughed as they pushed open the library doors and headed inside. Onyx and Coal rushed inside as Oak followed them and all three of them began playing in the middle of the floor as Amelia and Kelly seated themselves on the couch and Levi sat down on the floor in front of the couch with Felix still on his shoulder.

"I know what we should do" Kelly said as she turned to Amelia, "You, me, and Onyx should do each other's hair! Make it a total girls' night."

"What am I supposed to do?" Levi asked.

"You can take Coal and do something guys do or something."

"Watching a movie it is then."

The two girls laughed as Levi stood and called the twins over and Onyx and Coal stopped playing with Oak and headed over to Levi. Levi explained to them what the plan was and Onyx squealed happily as she rushed over to Amelia and Kelly and Coal began jumping up and down as he begged for a piggy back ride from Levi. Levi laughed as he bent down enough for Coal to jump onto his back and Levi adjusted his arms to hold Coal's weight as they headed for the doors with Felix following at Levi's feet.

Kelly and Amelia each took hold of Onyx's hands as they headed into Amelia's room to collect all the hair products she had and the few Kelly brought as well. As soon as they had everything, they headed back into the library and sat down on the floor in front of the couch as they set up everything they had with Onyx constantly asking what kind of hair style she could have. Oak jumped up onto the couch as he curled up at one end and decided to nap while the girls styled their hair. While Kelly and Onyx set up, Amelia headed over to the stereo as she turned on their favorite music and head back over to Kelly and Onyx. Amelia, Kelly, and Onyx spent most of the night in the library doing each others hair in different ways although Kelly and Amelia had to help Onyx with her hair. A few hours passed and by that time, Levi, Felix and Coal returned as they walked into the library and spotted all three of the girls sitting cross-legged on the couch as Kelly was currently brushing Onyx's hair and Amelia busied herself by braiding her hair into one ponytail braid.

"Hey, pretty ladies." Levi joked as he walked forward and kissed Amelia's head as Coal rushed over and climbed up onto the couch next to his twin sister and he reached out as he felt one strand of Onyx's hair.

"Ohhh, sister's hair is soft!" Coal said and Onyx giggled as she blushed slightly making the others laugh as Levi sat down on the arm rest of the couch next to Amelia. Felix squeaked as he managed to climb up onto the couch and he scurried over to Coal as he curled up on Coal's lap. Kelly soon finished with Onyx's hair as she styled it into a half ponytail and braided the top half. It was then that Drake walked into the library as he spotted the group on the couch and he headed over to them.

"Hey, what's going on?" Drake asked and he spotted Kelly. "And who's your pretty little friend?"

Kelly crossed her arms, "Obviously you don't remember me." she said and Drake looked at her in slight confusion.

"Have we met before?"

"If you count last year when you tried to beat up Levi and Amelia then yes, we somewhat met."

"Shit… you were there too?"

"Drake, language!" Amelia warned as she indicated to the twins and Drake mumbled an apology.

"There goes my shot" Drake muttered, "And I thought I was off the hook about that."

"You were never off the hook for that. So what are your plans for tonight?"

"Got none. I figured I'd hang out in my room until something interesting happened."

Amelia glanced at Levi and Levi silently groaned as Amelia turned back to Drake. "Why don't you hang out with us?" Amelia suggested, "We're just going to stay in the library for tonight."

"I guess I could… that is if everyone else agrees with that."

The twins obviously agreed as Amelia looked towards Kelly and Kelly sighed and then nodded and Amelia turned to Levi and Levi was quiet for a short moment before speaking.

"I… guess its okay." Levi finally said and Drake seated himself in a nearby comfy chair.

Throughout the rest of the night, the group spent the night talking and joking with each other while the twins played with each other through the library. When it began to get a little late, Levi left to gather blankets and pillows for all of them and Amelia sent Drake to help despite the two boy's arguments. They soon returned each with a bundle of pillows and blankets in their arms and the group began setting up the blankets and pillows on the floor to sleep. Levi dimmed the lights of the library down just enough so that it was dark enough for them to sleep and Abe's tank gave off a soothing faint blue glow to the room. Levi and Amelia slept next to each other with Levi's arm casually draped over her as Felix curled up at the top of Levi's pillow. Onyx was settled next to Amelia with Oak at her feet and Kelly slept next to her with Coal settled on her other side and Drake slept next to him and all of them soon fell fast asleep.

It was in the late hours of the night when the alarm suddenly sounded making everyone jolt awake and the twins began crying from being woken up so suddenly and they covered their ears with their hands. Oak instantly woke as he stood and moved to Amelia's side and Amelia and Levi sat up as Kelly sat their in confusion.

"What's going on?" Kelly asked and Amelia shook her head.

"I don't know" she replied and she moved to try and get to Drake but stopped when she realized that Drake wasn't even there. He was gone.
