"Hungry?" Serif asked, already in the kitchen, strangely his hood was up. He rarely puts his hood up. Along with Serif, Chess and Geno were also in the kitchen.

"Um...yeah, why do you ask?" I ask, slightly suspicious of their alien behavior. He finally removes his hood, and with the shadow of it gone, I can finally see his hollow eye sockets. It looks terrifying with his still wide smile.

"I don't know...just thought after hand feeding those bastards you'd be a little peckish." Woah, one, language.

"Is that a problem?" I'll keep my cool for now, but I will not tolerate any more slip ups.

"Yes! You have six actual soul mates already, me included," Chess takes a step closer "and you choose to feed them?" Chess accuses, jeez, jealous much?

"There's no way you guys were going to let them eat with you, let alone grab a bite to eat. So I thought I could help them out! Why is that such an issue?!" I don't understand what I did wrong.

"...you humans..." Geno is quiet, but we all shut our traps to listen to him.

"...none of you understand..." okay, hating against an entire race is not any way to handle such a petty little...situation...such as this.

"Then tell me what I don't understand so I can do better!" I exclaim, I don't know what they want from me.

"A monsters entire being is based off their magic, that's why falling in love is so dangerous for us! All you humans suffer from is a broken heart, we have to deal with a broken soul! And that could kill us!" Genos voice slowly starts to rise, and I start to shrink. I didn't mean to make any of them feel like I was going to leave them or anything.

"...I'm sorry, but that's far from what my intentions were..." I can't keep going in this endless merry go round, I need to get some information. They remain silent.

"I love you all way more than you can even imagine, if that weren't the case, I wouldn't be pregnant right now." I give each of them a kiss on the cheek, to remind them of the deep love I carry for each of them, but also as an apology for what I'm planning to do next.

"...we love you too..." I smile, they really just care way too much, don't they? Now just to get them out of the house for the day.

"Why don't you guys all head out with Stella? Get some bonding time with each other and the baby." I offer, I hope this works.

"...I don't see why not..." Serif says finally, shrugging his shoulder as, my stiff posture relaxes.

"Just be sure to text me while you guys are out, okay?" Maybe a bit of reminder will seal the deal.

"Alright, we'll be home before dark." Chess says and Geno nods, yes! It worked!

...

I wave to them as the car pulls out of the drive way and down the street, and as soon as their out of sight, I dart back inside. Okay, I have five hours before the sun sets, plenty of time. The other two are still asleep on the couch and Reboot and Halluciv went out with the boys. I can do this.

"I'm sorry guys...but I need answers..." I whisper, headed towards the basement, doubling as their lab. As I reach the basement floor, I realize I'm in way over my head. Thrers so many crazy gadgets and machines and chemicals. I really got to be careful while down here, one slip up, and it's game over.

I skillfully dance around all of the expensive machinery on the desks, floor, and counters before finally reaching the far wall. This wall is completely constructed out of books, I'm not sure if they'll have what I'm looking for, but this is my best bet.

"Solar eclipse...sound waves...soulings! I knew it!" I snatch up the book, and tuck it snugly under my arm. But in the process, I knock another book off the shelf, this one's on soul mates...ah, what the check, I grab that one two, tucking it in place next to the other book under my arm. Ok, now that I've got what I needed I got to get out of here.

My welcome was definitely over stayed. Just as I'm mere feet from the stairs, my escape, I hear something shatter behind me. I spin around, but only clumsily knock another vile off its stand, causing the red and yellow chemicals to mix on the floor. Should I clean it up? Hnnnggg...probably.

I grab what I'm hoping to be a clean towel off the stairwell and do my best to mop up the mess, but being the idiot I was, I used my bare hands. As the fluid seeps into the rag, it also gets on my hands, and it starts to burn...bad. it feels as if my hand was just set aflame, I wave it around wildy, silently screaming as tears pour from my eyes. I spot a sink and I nearly trip over some claw looking thing trying to reach it. I drop the books, forgotten on the floor as I use my opposite hand to turn on the faucet.

The water is the most blissful relief I've ever felt in my life as the cool, healing waters wash over my injured hand. I pull my hand out of the stream to check the damage, I cringe at the mangled flesh left behind by the chemicals. Now how am I supposed to explain this? This might not have been the best idea. Wait...why do I smell smoke?

I turn around to see that the two chemicals have combusted, creating a fire that's nearly as tall as me! I got to think fast, the fire is building and the room is filling with smoke. If I can just get some of this water over there, it should help the flames die down. Is there anything that can hold water? I...I can't see.

There's too much smoke. I start to cough, my body trying to get rid of the smoke while getting air in them at the same time...it's not working. The coughing gets worse and I vomit into the sink, tears pink prick my eyes, as they burn from the smoke. I...I need...to get out of here. I crawl towards the stairs, my life saver in this ocean of death. My vision blurs as I inch closer to the stairs.

Hot...it's...so...hot...M...Marvul? Eraser?
