Shilo was nervous. Her tail and ears were twitching harshly, as she continuously popped her fingers; A nervous habit she'd picked up during her years of training and traveling.
Shilo was worried. She had changed so much. She had changed dramatically in mind, looks, and attitude. She wasn't the little girl who shy'd away from people and trouble. She was a young woman now, who'd killed monsters and seen death on a daily bases.
The only thing that she could think that hadn't changed about her, which was only because Nuada became an over protective brother like figure when males were around her, was her innocents. Shilo had come close a few times sure, but she always ended up having to save the boys from her masters spear! The boys were lucky they just ended up with a scratch.
When she would later question her master for his actions, he would shake his head and turn away from her, muttering about a promise he was keeping. It had only taken Shilo a few months to figure out that the person he was keeping a promise for, was Hellboy!
Shilo couldn't help but role her eyes with a smile, before biting her bottom lip as she rounded the last corner to Hellboy's room. She watched as the hallway of sliding doors opened up for her as she stepped up to them, her nervousness increasing.
At the end of the hallway was a large vault door. In front of the door stood a male on each side. Shilo's eye lit up and her mouth spread into a much needed smile, as she recognized the two men. On had a handsome face, short and slightly wavy brown hair, and bright blue eyes. The other was a slightly older man than the previous, with slightly spiked dark brownish black hair, brown eyes, scars on his slightly exposed upper chest, and an older, but slightly handsome, face.
Shilo walked over to them, as she opened her arms wide, pulling the now smiling blue-eyed man into a hug. "Myers! Its so wonderful to see you again!" Shilo exclaimed, as said man chuckled, before pulling away and looking her up and down.
"Geez, kid! You look great!" Shilo smiled, as Clay stepped forward, pulling her into a fatherly hug. Shilo laughed as he looked her up and down. "What the hell are you wearing, Shilo?" Clay laughed, as Shilo looked down at her attire.
She was wearing a black chest tube top, baggy red trip pants with a hole in the back for her tail, and black army boots. Hanging around her hip was a B.P.R.D. black belt, and a dagger sword similar to Nuada's.
"You dont like it?" Shilo asked, as Myers gave her a lopsided smile. "Well...Lets just say if you were my daughter... You wouldn't be allowed out of the house." He said, earning a nod from Clay, as he produced a strange metal key that looked like a gun.
Shilo raised a brow to Clay, who gave her a sheepish grin. "Him and Liz are kind of... grounded for an incident the family caused at the last mission." Shilo sighed, nodding her head. "Poor Liz. Having to be punished like this. He really needs to grow up." Shilo mumbled, earning a shake of the head and lopsided smile from Myers.
"Actually... Liz caused most of the trouble." Shilo's eyes widened in shock! Liz?! Liz caused more trouble than Hellboy?! Shilo couldn't believe it! "Hey. If you ask me, she had every right to threaten to burn those civilians to a crisp. They were throwing rocks at red and the kids! Rocks!" Clay exclaimed, as he took the pressed the key into the lock, letting the doors gears turn slowly.
Shilo frowned, her eyes narrowed. "They threw rocks at Red and the twins?" her voice was low with a slight growl. Myers gave a soft and sad nod. "Yeah... Liz didn't take it to kindly. Especially after they just saved them from the trolls that were stealing and eating the children of their village." Myers and Clay slowly opened the door far enough for her to slip in.
Myers pat her on her bare shoulder. "Try not to mention it to Red and Liz, OK? It's still a sore subject." Myers whispered, earning a soft nod from Shilo, before they walked through the vault door.
Shilo was surprised. She hadn't been in Hellboy and Liz's room since she was younger. It was different; larger! The once wall to wall covered shelves of random items were now completely organized. The left side shelves tops were covered with televisions, eight tracks, and all kinds of gizmo's! The bottom of the left shelves were covered with slightly smashed toy cars, an old Sega, and things one would find in a child's room.
The right wall shelves were more feminine, covered with books, lamps, make-up, and some dolls and a doll house. Shilo raised a brow at the pink Barbie hair stylist desk with butterfly and lady bug hair clips. Defiantly not something one would expect to find in this room. It most have belonged to Ella.
Near the back of the room was the familiar pick-up truck that served as a makeshift bed. Shilo was surprised to find doorways on either side and away from the bed, both closed. The one on the left of the bed was painted dark red with a sign that read 'Authorized Personnel Only', with yellow caution tape behind the sign and draped around the door. Shilo's ears twitched as she caught the sound of the familiar Lost Prophet song 'Rooftops' playing loudly behind the door.
The door to the right was painted a lighter red, almost pink with a blue poster of a cartoon boy running from rocks, with a saying 'Boys are stupid, throw rocks at them.' Hanging from the door knob was a plush hot pink heart that read 'Stay Out!' in large, white, cursive letters. Shilo could faintly hear the sound of another familiar tune of Framing Hanley's version of the song 'Lollipop.'
Shilo was surprised of her music knowledge and that she knew the songs. She was also confused by the chuckle Clay and Myers were giving as they shook their head. "They do this to annoy each other and Hellboy. He isn't a big fan of his Kidd's choice in music, especially Ella's interest in Rap. He tolerates Trevor's rock obsession a little better though." Clay chuckled, earning a smile from Shilo.
"Ah dammit you two! Turn that crap down, would ya?!" Shilo jumped in surprise, unconsciously letting her tail and ears disappear. Her head whipped to the far right, as a familiar form stomped out of what Shilo knew was the bathroom, his heavy, black boots thudding loudly as he stepped towards the door, pounding rather hard on it with his flesh arm and fist.
"Turn it down, Trevor!" He ordered, earning a muffled response, before the music was cranked a little louder. He shook his head and growled, before stomping away to his bed. Shilo immediately noticed that his usual black shirt was hanging off the edge of the bed. Draped around his neck was a white towel, and in his large stone right hand was a beer that he downed before acknowledged the two males with a nod, before his eyes landed on her as he threw his can into a trashcan near the bed.
A large smile appeared on her face, as Hellboy raised a brow at her. She prepared herself to leap towards him and pull him into a hug. "Hey? Clay Myers? Who's the girl?" Shilo froze, and her figure slumped dramatically. 'He doesn't recognize me! He doesn't remember me!' Shilo thought, tears beginning to form in her emerald green eyes.
"Your ears and tail, kid! Your ears and tail!" Shilo heard Clay whisper to her, as Shilo swallowed the growing lump in her throat. Turning to them with a confused, sad, look, Shilo caught her reflection in one of the broken television screens. Her ears and tail were hidden!
Shilo's shoulders slumped more, as a sigh and a weak smile appeared on her face. She turned back to Hellboy, who had taken a few steps her way. Putting on a childish pout, Shilo placed her hands on her hips, and shifted her weight to the right.
"I'm hurt, Mr. Hellboy! How can you not remember this face?!" Shilo exclaimed, making a tsking sound as she shook her head, causing Hellboy to furrow his brow at her. "Listen lady, I don't have a damn clue as to what yer talking abo-" Hellboy is cut mid-sentence, his eye's eyes widening and his jaw going slack, as Shilo slowly allowed her ears and tail to reveal themselves, smiling as her ears twitched atop her head, and her tail swished back and forth happily, a giggle being pulled from her as a large grin split across Hellboy's face!
"Shilo! Holy crap, kid! Look at you!" Hellboy exclaimed, as Shilo launched herself forward into his open arms, laughing as he spun her around. Shilo chuckled as his laughter vibrated his chest and her check, petting her head with a smile, as she looked up at him with a grin.
"Its good to see you again, Mr. Hellboy!"
I aint to sure about how a semi introduced the twin in this. The music introduction is suppose to give a sligt view of how different the twin are from Hellboy and each other. Hope Its OK for all of ya.
