"I see that they had it after all. Well, Flare, it was great having you with us. You're welcome here anytime. Go get your things. I would like to talk to your parents alone. Give your sister a tour of the hide out. I'm sure that she would love to see how your life was while you stayed with us," Twiggy said.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for the permission to keep coming back here, but I would like to confront Kyle about something before I go get my stuff. I hope that you don't mind, sir," I said politely.

"Not at all, Flare. Kyle, get in here!"

Kyle walked into the room from the kitchen. He had an apple in his hand. He's always snacking on something. I walked in front of my parents to come face to face with him. Kyle blinked out of confusion at me. I used my psychokinesis to slam him up against the wall. I had fire burning within my heart and soul. Kyle fucking kidnapped me when I was a baby! I can't believe that he would stoop so low just to get to me. He took me away from my parents! I felt tears running down my cheeks. I was really hurt by that.

"You kidnapped me from my parents! You took me away from my home! Why'd you do it, Kyle?! Why?!" I yelled.

"Flare, calm down. It's okay now. You're back with us. Calm down, sweetie. Everything's been set right now," my mother said.

I let go of Kyle. If I kept a hold of him, I would have beaten the hell out of him and would have killed his ass. I turned around and hugged my mother as tears streamed down my face. You can't blame me. I was taken away from my parents while they were alive. Kyle had no right to take me away from them. My mother stroked my face while I cried. After about two minutes, I was able to calm myself down.

I heard fingers snapping and turned to face Twiggy. Two guards came into the room and grabbed Kyle when twiggy pointed at him. Kyle deserves whatever it is that he's going to get. I wiped away my tears. Kyle was dragged away by the guards. I left the room and headed up the stairs. I didn't intend to get upset like that. It just hurt me to know that I was taken from my parents instead of rescued from the brink of death. I hear footsteps behind me. My little sister must have followed me up the stairs.

"Will you be okay, big brother?" Violet asked.

"Yeah. I just can't believe that Kyle, of all the Demon Raptors, was the one who kidnapped me from Mom and Dad. I trusted him, and he lied to me. I could hurt him for that, but the Demon Raptors can take care of him. I probably would have killed him. That's enough of the subject. Would you like a tour of the hide out, sis?" I answered.

"Sure, but you need to get your stuff together first. Let's start at your old room. That way I can see where you stayed here and you can get your things together too. We can kill two birds with one stone."

I smiled at my little sister. She had read my mind. We reached the top of the stairs and walked down the left hallway. We went past about six rooms, three on each side. I turned to the fourth room on the left. It had my name on the door. I opened the door and turned on the lights. It was like a basic bedroom with tons of bookshelves. I like to read a lot. I have every book, here in my room, at least once. I used my psychokinesis to have a bag land on my bed. I made my books start stacking in the bag. Yeah, I know. It's cheating.

Violet walked by me and shook her head at me. She started to look around the room. It's not much, but it'll do for a bedroom. The Demon Raptors had limited money, so they couldn't do much with getting fancy stuff. The always got my new books so I could read. If it was a series, they would all by one book of the series, so I could have the whole set. They were great. You were never bored here because there was always some type of drama going on here. I heard yelling across the hall. Now what?

I stopped packing and turned around. I walked across the hall and opened the door. A female squirrel stood the, cowering in fear. She wore a white tank top with a black mini skirt. Her bright blue eyes were full of fear. She was sixteen years old. A male squirrel stood two feet from her. He wore black leather jacket with navy blue jeans. His green eyes were full of fire from anger. He's seventeen years old. His name was Gate. The female's name was Alice. Gate is always yelling at his girlfriend over something stupid. I've had to deal with this bull shit for about three years now. I'm fucking sick of it, so I'm going to stop it.

"Gate, will you shut the hell up? I'm sick of all the drama that you make everyday. Alice has done nothing to you to even make you mad. You're always yelling at her over something stupid. Now stop your yelling, Gate. It gets on everyone's nerves. Alice, come to my room. You'll be safe there until I leave. Gate, I swear if you come to my room, I will beat the tar out of you like there's no tomorrow. I'm not kidding," I said.

Gate and Alice looked at me. Gate didn't look too happy about me being in his room. He's always a big drama queen when it comes to Alice. He can also get jealous very easily. He got jealous of me when I was helping Alice throw him a surprise party last year. Alice walked over to me. I led her to my room across the hall. Alice sat on my bed as I stood in view of the door. I continued packing while using my psychokinesis. Violet blinked out of confusion at Alice. I could tell what she was thinking.

"I'm protecting her from her boyfriend, sis. He can get really violent when he's mad. Alice, this is my little sister. I've finally found my parents. Do you think you'll be okay when I leave?" I said.

"My name's Violet. Alice, you shouldn't go out with a guy like that. You can find someone better then that creep across the hall. I was taught to always follow your heart and not your mind," Violet said.

"Who told you that nonsense?" Alice asked.

"Murasaki the Hedgehog told me that."

There was silence in the room. Violet shouldn't have said that. The Demon Raptors aren't too found of Team Heroes since most of them are cops in Station square. Alice stared at my little sister for the longest time. I finished packing my books. It's hard to believe that they can fit into my bag. Then again, I did ask for it last year since we were going to go on a vacation this year. I never thought that I would be using it to move out of the hide out. I made my bag come to me and put it on my back. It's a little heavy, but nothing I can't handle. I was going to have Alice come with me and help with the tour, but Gate stood in my doorway. This is going to lead to trouble. Gate had his arms crossed and stared at me with a glare in his eyes. I just stared back at him coolly.

"Where do you think your going, Flare?" Gate asked.

"I'm moving out and in with my parents. This will be the last time that we see each other up here. Besides, I have finally gotten sick of your drama queen act. You used to be a lot nicer when I was younger. Now you're just a complete jerk. You don't deserve a girl like Alice. Now leave us alone. We've done nothing to you," I answered.

"That's where you're wrong, Flare. You've crossed the line, and now you have to pay the price. It's time to teach you a lesson, half-breed."

I growled at the word half-breed. I hate it when people call me that. It's a damn insult. I'd prefer mix-breed over half-breed any day. I took my backpack off to fight Gate. Most people in the Demon Raptors wouldn't stand up to Gate like I am now. The thing is that I became the top fighter in the gang. That's why they don't mess with me. Gate smiled evilly at me. He's never done that before. What's wrong with him?

I hear commotion going on above me. Someone must be on the roof, but how did they get here without security spotting them? I heard footsteps walk over to Gate until they were above him. I glanced at Violet, who seemed to have heard the footsteps too. Alice and Gate didn't hear them. Suddenly, someone busted through the roof and landed on Gate. I put up a shield so Alice and Violet wouldn't get hurt. Now what's going on here? The dust cleared the room so everyone could see what was going on.

A purple half dog and half hedgehog was standing on top of Gate's back. She wore a dark red tank top with navy blue pants. She wore dark red shoes that matched her tank top. She has a very short, yet fluffy, tail. She wore black gloves that went up to her elbows. Her arms, stomach, muzzle, and the inside of her ears were dark tan. She has short hair that goes to her shoulders. The top of her hair was spiked out some with three bangs in her face. Her eyes were dark green She looked about thirteen years old. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. Who is she? I put the shield down since that girl seems to have everything under control. I watched my littler walk over to the half dog and half hedgehog. She must know that girl who just busted in through the roof. I watched them closely.

"Tina, what are you doing here? What's going on?" Violet asked.

"There was a rumor going around that a Demon Raptor member was possessed by a demon that works for Lucifer. I didn't expect to run into you here at their hide out. Did I interrupt something? I can let you finish it before I do the extraction," the half dog and half hedgehog, Tina, answered.

"You can go ahead, Tina. You just stopped a fight."

"Oh, okay. Dad, I found him!"

Did she say Dad? A red dog floated into the room and landed beside Gate. He wore black pants that had a red parking on the right pants leg. He wore a fish net shirt with a black tank top over it. His shoes were dark red. He wore black gloves that stopped at his wrists. He wore our golden earrings in his ears. He has three long bangs that hung in his face. The back of his hair stood up. He has a short tail that has a burnt mark one and a half inches up his tail. His muzzle and the inside of his ears were tan. His eyes were dark red. He looked to be about thirty-nine. So that's Tina's father. He looks like a goth and very mean. I watched him.

"Good work, Tina. Now get off of him. I'll do the extracting since this demon is a high level," the rd dog said.

Tina got off of Gate and walked over to Alice and me. Violet backed up to where we were. The red dog place his hand over Gate and began chanting in a language that I didn't know. Gate started to glow a bright red. I blinked out of confusion. What the hell is a demon? The red dog put his hand inside of Gate's head. That's gross! Is he trying to kill Gate by pulling out his brain? The red dog pulled out a black and red creature with red horns and giant grey bat wings. What the hell is that?! The creature tried attacking the red dog, but he was ready for the creature. He blasted the creature, and it disappeared. I know to get this guy mad.

"Zatch, you could have killed the demon outside the hide out. You could have destroyed the hide out with a blast like that. This is a home to many people. You shouldn't try to destroy it," Violet said.

"I know that, Violet, but you should see it from my point of view. It takes a lot of power to kill a demon, even rookies. So don't lecture me about being careful," the red dog, Zatch, said.
