Hi. **peeks out from behind large tree located on an unknown tropical island** I'm very sorry for the wait. And I know you all want to kill me right now...which is why I am currently hiding out on and undisclosed location, to hide from all who want to kill me for leaving you hanging like that. I honestly did not intend to take this long to update but I had musical practice. (we pulled off Phantom Of The Oprah...My sister was Christine and I was in the ballet chorus teehee) Then my stupid English teacher started a very large, very pointless project several months ago and I only just got done with it. While my English project was going on I had a very large dance recital to get completely ready for after missing a month of dace due to musical. Then after all of that I had to help out with my sisters graduation. (it takes FOREVER to go through all those boxes looking for pictures and random memorabilia along with prepping for the party.) There are a lot of preparations. And while all of this was going on I had like five BILLION end of the year standardized tests to study for along with my final exams. (Stupid government keeps piling on the testing because we students poor students can never have enough tests to prove that teachers don't give out enough homework or that our schools are behind Japan's schools and the USA will not except not being the best in the world at everything. I am totally willing to take second chair to other countries in academics if it means that I get to have a life outside of useless facts that will never be used. Oh sorry, I'm ranting, it was a very stressful few months.) This may not seem like it would take up so much time that I don't have time to type up a chapter but it has consumed my life. The last few months before summer break are always ridiculous and horribly exhausting. I do apologize for the wait but if my crazy life isn't excuse enough, I also have writers block and am not sure how to actually write this chapter. So, now that I have had a few weeks to lay around doing nothing but recuperating I have time to think of how this chapter will go. With the excuses and apologizes out of the way, I just wanna say enjoy the long awaited chapter that will actually get this story moving. p.s IDK how to refer to Rudolph in this chapter. He hasn't introduced himself, so as far as Tru and Tony are concerned, his name is Creepy Weird Guy Who Sneaks Into Peoples Bedrooms And Attacks Them. Sorry about that but...ya as of right now I can call him Stranger, Red eyed boy, black-haired boy...etc.

Chapter 7

Tru held the golf club up like she would a baseball bat, ready to swing if the situation required her to. The stance hurt her shoulder, she could practically feel the bruise forming. A slight stinging sensation could be felt over her eyebrow. Tru reached her hand to the place only to feel a her stitches, and below that a new cut. Must have been from when he tripped me, before I beat him with the golf club.

The boy shifted his foot slightly, causing Tru to forget her injuries for the moment and renewed her grasp on the golf club. If he tries anything I'll just have to hit him harder.

A groan of pain emitted from the strange boy on the ground. "Do you need help?" Tony questioned, surging forward before Tru could hold him back.

Oh sure, just help the strange guy who attacked your sister in your bedroom, ya cause that's a great idea. Tru thought to herself, still holding the golf club high. "Tony! Get back here!" she whispered/shouted, as her brother knelt beside the boy.

The boy looked over to Tru, his red eyes glimmering in a way that caused her to think of her nightmare she had several nights ago. He then looked back to Tony as he wiped the ketchup off his face. "What twisted kind of mortal are you?" he questioned, breathlessly.

Tru couldn't help the tinny chuckle that escaped her lips, nor the tinny smirk that played at the corner of her lips. This earned her another glance from the stranger's red eyes. Before his attention was drawn back to Tony.

"I know you!" he exclaimed excitedly. "I saw you in my dream."

"Must have been a nightmare." The red eyed boy stated, as if having people announce that they had dreams about him happened on a daily basis.

"It was." Tony nodded in confirmation, completely not weirded out by the current situation.

The boy gave an almost chuckle that quickly turned into a grimace. Tru felt a tinny bit bad now, the boy couldn't even laugh without being caused pain. She must have beaten him up pretty badly because for a moment he looked like he was gonna lose consciousness. Then she remembered the new cut on her forehead and all guilt was erased.

"I must leave." He announced a moment later, giving a slight huff as he struggled to pull himself off the floor.

"But you can't even walk." Tony grabbed his arm to help him stand.

Tru reached out toward Tony pulling him back. She then noticed the stranger begin to lose his balance and, due to a mix of reflex, adrenalin, and instinct, reached out to steady him.

The boy eyed her, mildly surprised that she had helped him, then took note of the golf club she was still holding in her left hand. "Who needs to walk, when I can fly." And with that the boy shoved away from Tru and stumbled towards the window.

In the few moments it took for the boy to jump over the ledge of Tony's window, two thoughts ran through Tru's mind. The first was How is flying less strenuous than walking, if you are unable to walk than you are cirtinley unable to fly. The next thought came in a rush as the boy actually jumped over the ledge and, for a moment, hovered. Wait, people can't fly, he can't actually think he can fly. I must have hit him pretty hard if he honestly believes...wait, is he...ooooothat'ss not gonna feel good in the morning.

Tru and Tony rushed to the window, peeking out over the ledge. There the boy lay, his front planted in the lawn, directly under the window. "Is he...dead?" Tony asked his sister, eyes wide in shock and horror.

Tru peeked back down at the boy who decided to swan dive out a second story window instead of using the front door. She saw a his leg move slightly, and gave a sigh of relief. Psychotic stalker who tried to kill her or not, Tru did not want her eight year old brother seeing a dead body. He'd be scarred for life. "No, it don't think so." she answered. "I think we should probably get your babysitter up here, this might be one of those things that mom and dad were worried about happening... Tony were are you going?"

Tony didn't give an answer, he just continued his quickened pace for his door. Tru rolled her eyes before following.

He better be getting the babysitter cause I am NOT allowing him to try taking care of this by himself. Tru thought, however she had a strange feeling that she Tony had no intention of involving adults, and that she had just begun on a life changing adventure.

I know it was short and probably lived up to no ones expectations. I am aware that people figured that this chapter would be full of cows, blimps and flying in Peter Pan fashion, however this is me, and as mostly everyone has come to figure out, I take forever to get anything to really happen. This comes from me reading tons of fanfics were the author rushes the story and one character hates another character and then they end up falling in love. This should happen over a long period of time however I have just finished reading a fic were this has been sped up to the point were it is just plain unrealistic. No this is not me saying that for half of this fic Tru will hate Rudy then grow to like him, I can say with a 100% guarantee that Tru likes Rudy, she just has a small issue trusting him in the beginning, understandably so. She likes him as in she likes his personality and finds him attractive, however don't expect her to start mooning over him until later on, when she will actually LIKE him like him. Anyone who has actually reads my notes to you, thank you, I mean I don't really write much worth reading in these but if you have come this far into this A/N let me reward you for reading my ramblings with a quick hint on future chapters. OK, here it is, there is importance in Tru's relationship with her dad. Ok that's all, sorry for the short chapter but feel free to post what you think I am attempting to hint at in the review section. I will TRY to update soon. remember, Tru and her dads relatioship.
