Heyy guys! nice to see that you're still reading while I'm still writing: I appreciate that. So, good news bad news: I'm getting a new chapter of 'A Whole New World' up tonight, but no new character for McCracken High tonight (I'm just so freaking tired)...Anywhosies, onto the story!

Gaining speed Lucas began to close in on the main door to the castle. But just before he could reach it-SSSHHHHIIINNKKK! Luas screamed in pain as a knife found its way into his side. Clutching his side, he set Delilah down and turned to the man who had stabbed him, grinning with a smug sense of satisfaction.

"When I bring you to the king, I'll be honered. Oh the great and noble Sir Lionel: slayer of Agent Wan-" Lucas shot the guard with a face full of lightning.

"You talk too much." He growled at the unmoving figure before grabbing Delilah once more and running outside. He set Delilah down, and collapsed to his knees; finally letting the pain get to him. Troy andMary Ann instantly ran to help.

Luke grunted. "I'm going back in there."

"Like hell you are!" Troy retaliated. "Look at you two; you bleeding to death! Where are Eve and Percy?"

"I-I-I..." Luke tried to speak through his gritted teeth.

Troy and Mary's eyes widened in realization. "You-you don't mean-" Mary Ann started before Delilah burst into tears.

Mary instantly picked her up and tried to craddle her; not fazed by the gaping hole ni her face. "It'll be okay." She whispered." Thiough-in truth-she didn't know herself that she was telling the truth. "We need to get out of here."

"They. Would. Go. Back" Luke breathed heavily. Troy placed a hand on his shoulder. "Sorry about this, love." He muttered before squeezing a soft spot on his shoulder; causing him to pass out.

Present day..

Peepers just stared at Delilah whohad gone silent after telling her tale. What could you say to that!?

"I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that." Peepers apologized.

"It's okay: You didn't do anything. Anyways, that's why I freaked out at you. It's just-why? Why would purposely hurt others if they aren't hurting you? Why..." She trailed off, looking to the side.

Peepers sighed. "You know, I never wanted to be the bad guy."

"Then why are you?" Delilah asked, getting some of her confidence back.

"I grew up on a planet where everyone looked alike." Peepers explained. "It was hard to find an identity. Especially considering my siblings. My older sister was drop-dead gorgeous; her twin sister was smarter than I ever was; and my brother-well-he was just good at everything: School, sports, socializing, getting dates. Don't get me wrong; I practically worshipped the guy! But, it's was just so hard to be known as 'Jeremy's LITTLE brother'; the pipsqueak who stuck freezing in his brother shaodw. Then Hater came along and starting recruiting eople. I found that I had something over people in that army. I was faster, smarter, better with a gun. For once. I actually felt on top. I never realized whom I was hurting until I was too far in to stop, though. Until it was too late."

Peepers felt a warm hand on his shoulder. "It's never too late to stop hurting others. You can still be a good guy." Delilah softly exclaimed.

"I don't believe so..."

"Well...just think about it; okay?"

"...Okay." Peeeprs agreed. "So, you're missing an eye?"

Delilah smiled a little to herself, before pulling away the hair covering her eyes to reveal a black eyepatch with a golden star in the middle. She pulled that up to show him her glass eye.

"Wow..." Peeepers-trying to lighten the mood-changed the subject. "So, what was that book Wan-I mean Luke, gave you?"

"It's his old memory book. You see, these tiny little paper sin here-well-just watch."

She pulled out a thin sheet of paper with a small red bump on it. She pushed the bump down, threww the paper on the floor, and watched as a replica of Wander came to life; along with Troy, Mary Ann, and even her parents.

"My mom recoded every day. 'Never miss an memory', she would always say. This has some of their old songs, plans, and days together."

"What are these ones? They look like they've seen better days.." Peepers held up three old and wron papers; weathered by the sands of time.

Delilah quickly snatched them away and put them back into the book. "Don't mess with; their Luke's private memories. Even I'm not allowed to watch them."

Okay, so, I lied. NEW CHARACTER!

Eduardo Martinez (Ed): Ed is a strong and burly type with a heart of gold. He looks tough as nails is but is scared of his own shadow. He lives in the same orphanage as Bloo, along with his other whom he shares a room with. He likes potatoes, arts and crafts, and the color purple. He has terrible stage fright along with a crippling fear of everything; but he is always willing to be brave and protect his friends.

Bye for now!
