Max sat outside the office door, he had been sitting there for forty minutes now, waiting to he called in
The hallway was somewhat out of the way of the rest of the orphanage, only those who had done something really bad came to this part of the building., Max had been here many times in his Five years here.
He looked down at his clothes. Hand-me-downs from at least six different children who had either left the orphanage either via adoption or just growing out of the system.
The red shirt he wore had a popular superhero movie that had been rebooted twice now, the brown shorts were faded, his shoes were brown and scuffed.
He looked at himself in a window, he was shorter than the other children, something they usually brought up when they bullied him, the black eye was just his latest mark from a girl named Sadie fronks.
Max sighed, he expected to be in trouble for starting a fight, admittedly that one might be true, he had stolen Sadie's pizza from her plate.
The office door opened and the head administrator, a man called Weaslings stood there, he was thin, many of the kids said that he was less a man and more of a living skeleton who wore human skin.
On his face was a smile which almost made Max shudder, he gestured for the young boy to follow.
Standing up Max followed the man, Weaslings office was sparse, there were not many personal effects in the room, only things that would belong in an office, there was one exception
Lying in a small box in the corner was a cat, a large and old orange whitish beast, currently sleeping in a cat bed half it's size, Beelzebub.
As long as it stayed in its bed Max was fine by him, he still hated that thing from the time he pulled its tail, in response the cat made his face a personal scratching post.
Even if it had been four years since then he still hated that cat, and all cats
The other two people in the office were a surprise, however.
Standing there was a man, a handsome one blonde hair, green eyes, his face was a wide smile, he was wearing a white jacket and blue jeans.
Sitting next to him was a blonde woman, wearing a sundress, she had a smile slightly larger than the man's.
"Max," said Weasling in his high pitch voice, "these are the Does, they're here to adopt you."
Adoption? This quickly? Max was instantly put on alert.
Max had always wanted to be adopted, to have a family, but this seemed too fast, usually anyone at the orphanage would have to spend time with their prospective parents, and there would be social workers to make sure things were fine.
This was wrong.
"What?" he asked.
"Hey there buddy," said the man in a friendly tone, he stood up and walked over to Max, the Man was about to place one of his large hands on Max's shoulder, in response the young orphan flinched, Mr. Doe moved his hand away.
Mrs Doe noticed this and looked at him with a kind look on his face, "We've been looking for a boy to adopt for a while now, we heard about you, and decided why not?"
"Why me?" He asked suspiciously
The office was quiet for a second.
Weasling looked at Max annoyed, however the Does looked at him pitifully.
"Well we know a lot about you Max, we know how hard it is to have no one in your life," said Mrs Doe.
"There are one hundred and thirty-seven other kids in this building who can say the same, why me exactly?
The room was uncomfortably silent for a few minutes.
Mr Doe sighed, "Truth it Max, we need a special boy like you, For our business."
Max stood there shocked at the honesty. However, it did mean he knew what to do, he didn't intend to be some sort of tool for their business.
"Okay, well if that's all I-"
"We're rich," said Mrs Doe, "We can basically get you whatever you want, toys, games, good food, anything."
For a moment the orphan just stood there, he looked at Weasling who just shrugged in response.
A part of him was hesitant, they were honest about being selfish, however that was weighed against the fact that he could get a home from these two people, the money did sound nice, but something still seemed off about this.
"Max, Look at it like this, it means getting out of here, a place that's basically a prison for kids," Mrs Doe turned to Weasling, "No offense,"
"None taken, We are not a good orphanage, I've taken money to let you adopt a child, it's terrifying if you think about it."
She said turned back to Max and stood up, walking slowly towards him, "But if you come with us, you deserve better than a some cruddy orphanage."
"We have asbestos in the walls, seriously no one should be here," said Mr Weaslings concerned.
Max stood there for a second. Maybe it was Her spiel or the fact that this could lead to a better life, Mostly it was the worrying fact that there was asbestos in the walls.
"Okay, I'll go."
Mrs Doe hugged him in response, Mr Doe joined them, Weaslings stood up to join them, but Mr Doe waved him off.
Six hours later Max was in his new bed, The does had decorated his room already, it was full of books, new toys, a large T.V and the latest video games consoles.
He had spent the rest of the day looking at his new house, after he had spent a few seconds looking how big their house was, he entered to see that the massive T.V, freshly painted walls, Marble floors everything.
Looking outside to the garden he saw that the Doe's had a pool, this was just confirmation he had made the right choice.
Everything was perfect here, Even the Doe's were perfect, they were nice, and welcoming.
That nagging part of him that told him there was something up vanished, this was his home now.
As he drifted off to sleep, he didn't see Mr Doe open the door slightly, he smiled as he saw Max laying there, closing the door he walked downstairs.
"He's pretty good," said Mr Doe smiling.
"Yeah, he's perfect, I'd love to see anyone doubt us now," said Mrs Doe.
"'Two good Samaritans who took in an orphan,'" said Mr Doe in a faux elderly voice, "'They'd never try to swindle me, I should give them all my money."
The couple started to laugh, Their new accessory slept upstairs not knowing what they had planned.
…
Mayor Toadie had three smiles.
There was the 'everything's fine' smile, the one he wore almost every day, then there was the 'I'm mayor of this town you can trust me but don't underestimate me' smile, one he used working with anyone who had business in the town.
Then there was that third smile, it was similar to the first and only those that knew him would tell the difference.
The joy in his eye was more forced, the smile was an inch shorter, his cheeks were less charming.
It was his, "Everything is going to hell and I can't deal with a lot more of this" smile.
That was the thing former Mayor Toadstool noticed as they had breakfast, outside the small bakery in the middle of town, to the left of them was Anne's statue, nearby was the town fountain, all around the town people were going about their business. However, there was an odd mood in the air.
The feeling that something might happen, after the last few days it was understandable
"Rough day Mayor Toadie?"
"What! No, it's just the town has had two major incidents in the past week, there's been reports of animal attacks, we have dozens of cannibals locked up, oh and King Andrias has gone missing…other than that things are fine."
Mayor Toadstool nodded, "Well it looks like things are back to normal."
Toadie kept smiling, "Yeah I don't want to start something, but things were a lot more peaceful when the humans were gone."
Mayor Toadstool his disappointment that Toadie has said that, for all their faults he did like having them around.
"True, but let's be honest it stops the town from becoming boring."
The small frog nodded "Yeah, but boring isn't bad, I just hope today's quiet, I just want one quiet day.
Suddenly three screaming children run by the two, Toadie and Toadstool watched as they jumped into the fountain.
Before they could react there was the sound of heavy beating wings coming towards them.
Toadie sighed, "Just one day, for frogs sake."
…
By the time the group reached the town everything was falling apart, The giant Killer-a-Moths were flying about everywhere, landing on buildings and ripping them open, Amphibians were screaming everywhere, terrified of being eaten, a few of theme were being batted around by the giant monsters.
Despite this none of the beasts had killed anyone yet but in this chaos it was only a matter of time.
In the center of town Anne's statue had become a small gathering for the moths who were currently flying around it, eventually though one just bumped into it hard enough that it fell and smashed on the floor, no one reacted everyone was too busy running around in terror.
Anne looked around, she needed to find Domino, she'd be able to calm this rampage.
"Anne," said a voice to her right, she turned to see her parents running towards her.
"MOM, DAD." she called back
"What's going on," said her father looking at her worried, "We were just shopping when all of these creatures started attacking and-"
"Long story, haven you have seen one that looks like Domino?"
Her mother nodded, "It went to the center of the town, Why?"
Anne ran off in that direction.
"BOONCHUY?" shouted Sasha.
"Yes," replied the two Boonchuys standing next to her.
"No, not you just– never mind, just find anyone you can and get them away from the chaos.
As everyone ran in a different direction, Max stood there for a few seconds taking in the chaos, this was all his fault, if only he had just-
"Max," said a stern voice from behind him, he turned to see Sasha standing there, a disapproving look on her face, "You heard what I said,"
He nodded and ran off.
…
Marcy and Lucian knew they weren't going to be that helpful, but they'd try anyway, as they ran through the streets they called anyone who hadn't noticed the chaos to get further away from the town square, hoping that everyone would listen to them, after five minutes they turned around to see the town, there was smoke coming from a rooftop, some of the Moths flew near it before being scared off by it, they could see a few frogs on a rooftop trying to avoid being caught by the moth.
It was strange in the past few days the two young Amphibians had come closer to death than almost anyone would have in their entire lives, they were still surprised just how terrifying it was.
"Oh frog," swallowed Lucian, "The towns-"
"I know, and it's all…" Marcy drifted off, she was about to blame Max, in a way it was his fault, but he had protected them, but everyone was going to think it was his fault, no one knew what had happened except for her, Lucian and Nicole.
She turned to Lucian again, "We've got to tell someone the truth."
"Huh?" said the toad boy confused, "What do you mean?"
"They're going to blame Max for this, we need to tell Anne what happened and…"
"MARCY!" shouted a voice to the side, the frog girl turned to see a Newt in a white shirt and black trousers running towards her.
"Mom" she called, and rushed towards the newt, "The town it's being-"
"I can tell," said the newt, "Go home now, get to safety."
Marcy shook her head, "No Mom I-"
"LUCIAN!" cried out a raspy voice, the three turned to see a toad running up to him, he grabbed and tightly hugged the smaller toad.
"Dad," Lucian wheezed "I'm fine I just-"
"Percy," Commanded Yunan, "I need you to get these two to safety."
The toad looked at her and saluted, "On it Captain-."
"General" corrected the tall newt.
"Sorry force of habit, on it general," with that he picked up Marcy and started to carrying to his home,
"NO," Marcy shouted hopelessly, "YOU HAVE TO LISTEN MAX ISN'T TO BLAME HE'S-"
But by that point no one was listening.
…
Sprig and Polly had experiences with Kill-A-Moths but not something like this, a bunch of confused creatures flying around the place attacking anything that moved, as they made their way through the town Sprig spotted something standing on the Flours bakery, The figure threw something at one of the Moths (A large gray thing) and in the next moment it was the size of an actual non killer moth, from the other side of the building more little bags went flying, doing the same.
"MADDIE," cried out Sprig.
The white haired figure looked down from the building, his ex-Fiance looked at him relived, "Sprig, Are you okay?"
"Yeah, Nice job with the magic."
"I'd love to take full credit, but my sisters are helping out, using their 'Blessings'" said Maddie rolling her eyes.
"They're helping aren't they?" said one of the three triplets.
"Yes but how is making them small a blessing?" replied Maddie
"To those they're attacking it is" replied another one of the other siblings, Sprig didn't really know which one.
In the distance there was the sound of wood smashing, and a large angry meowing.
"Oh curd," Said Maddie worried, she looked down at Sprig, "That was Felicia's Tea Shopee."
Sprig instantly started to run toward the care followed by Polly.
Polly followed her brother, "She'll be okay Sprig, She'll be-" Polly stopped talking the moment they saw that the Sundew house had a new addition.
A large moth body was sticking out of the house, its body hanging there not moving.
In the next second Sprig burst through the shop's doors, he ignored the group of elderly amphibians gathered in the corner terrified, and ran up the stairs, He slammed the door to Ivy's open to find three generations of Sundew women looking at a giant unconscious moth head, it had a large bump on his forehead.
"IVY," Sprig shouted.
The youngest Sundew turned and rushed over to him and hugged him, "Sprig it's okay it's sleeping."
Sprig peeked over his girlfriend shoulder and saw the remains of a broken chair in front of the Moth.
"Dang," he whispered, both terrified and impressed.
The head of the moth slipped out of the hole and landed on the ground, there were some screams from downstairs.
"I'll handle that," said Felicia, walking towards the door followed by her mother.
Sprig released Ivy, "Listen, things are bad I-"
Polly jumped up to Ivy's brand-new window, "See, I knew she'd be okay."
"Hey Polly," said Ivy casually, "I heard about Pearl, congratulations."
Before Polly could respond there was a yell from outside. Just behind them, they could see a moth with something gray and wrinkly in its mouth.
"GET OFF ME, YA BIG GALOOT!".
"Croaker," all the frogs said at the same time, Sprig, Ivy and Polly rushed to the side of the building and jumped to the roof across the street.
Hopping from rooftop to rooftop, trying to jump high enough to grab on to Mrs Croaker.
"HANG MS CROAKER," shouted Sprig.
"WORST POSSIBLE THING YOU COULD SAY." said Polly.
Croaker was currently batting the moth with her cane.
"I DON'T CARE HOW DELICIOUS I TASTE, I'VE SURVIVED WORSE THAN YOU."
The giant cat seemed to be getting tired of her abuse, it released her, and she started to fall.
Time slowed for Sprig, he knew he was the only one who could possibly save her, he took a leap towards her, Polly and Ivy did the same but only too late, they'd miss her, he flew towards the old frog just a few more inches and…
She fell just in front of him.
There was a heavy thud.
Sprig was able to land in safety, he turned to see Sadie Croaker lying there on her side, unmoving.
"Oh Frog," he whispered.
As he rushed over to her, Polly and ivy landed next to him.
He took a look at her, she was still breathing, she briefly looked and Sprig before she closed her eyes.
"WE NEED HELP!" shouted Polly,
"FROG DOWN!"
Sprig just looked at her then back to the center of town, he saw dozens of Kill-A-Moths still flying around
If something wasn't done soon…well who knows how this would end.
…
Anne kept running hoping to find Domino, it hurt her to ignore the cries for help but the faster she found her baby precious the closer things would end out better.
A few seconds of running Anne found her former murderous pet sitting next to a shop sticking her paws in a now destroyed window, Anne looked up and read the store sign "Agatha's ball wool shop."
Before Anne could act she saw a brown frog in a pink sweater walk out.
"Are you Agatha? Sorry about your store."
Agatha shrugged, "No worries, I've wanted to give up with shop and go into my true passions a long time ago."
"What's that?" asked Anne.
"Kill-A-Moth hunter, Could you take care of the sop until I get back?"
Before Anne could answer the frog walked away.
Rushing towards her kitty, Anne climbed onto its back, "Come on Domino, We need to stop this."
Upon hearing her voice Domino removed her paw from the stop and flew up, Anne hoped the Alpha would listen to her, she took a look at the town and her heart froze, all this chaos all around her, the peaceful town that had been quiet for ten years was now under attack again, all because of one child.
Domino let out a growl, all flying Kill-A-Moths turned to her and started to fly towards her, in seconds the sky was full of the ferocious fluffy flyers.
Anne directed Domino to fly towards a small pasture just outside the town, the army of moths followed them, they landed gently and Anne stepped off Domino and hugged her, "Good girl."
She turned to see the town, it was bad, she could still hear screaming, she just hoped no one was badly hurt.
Leaving domino to look after her massacre, she found herself reaching the town center in a few minutes, the whole town had gathered there.
All around were terrified Amphibians, Wally was sitting there exhausted holding on to his accordion, or at least what remained of it, one half was pristine the other was chewed apart.
Loggle was holding on to a chair that was now covered in scratches, muttering bitterly.
Her parents were talking to Stumpy, all three seemed to be relieved things were back to normal, next to them Sasha and Marcy stood next to General Yunan and Grime, Anne was worried that she couldn't see the other Marcy and Lucian, she hoped they were okay.
She spotted Hop-Pop looking at everything with a concerned face, he was holding on to a Micro-Angelo's reigns, he was talking to Sylvia, both looked fine.
Next to the old frog was Max, who was doing his best to try and look small, Anne felt a flash of anger towards him, all of this chaos was his fault what was he thinking?
Mayor Toadie was standing in front of the crowd trying to keep everyone calm.
"Ladies and Gentlefrogs, please clam down, the attack is over, now-"
"This was a disaster," shouted a voice from the crowd.
"Yeah who was responsible for this," said another voice.
"Who builds a sanctuary for dangerous animals this close to a town."
Anne started to worry, she hoped Toadie would keep the crowd calm.
"Please people, I know this is bad but… Well who could we blame?"
"IT WAS HIM" shouted a voice from the crowd.
The crowd the source of the accusation, a Newt boy standing there, he was wearing wet robes.
"IT WAS THAT HUMAN BOY, HES A MONSTER!" continued the Newt
Anne looked at Max who suddenly had a look of anger on his face.
The newt boy started to sniffle, "I was talking to my friends, Lucian, Marcy and Nancy, and he just attacked us, he was jealous."
"YOU ROTTEN CREEP," shouted Max, who rushed up to Newt boy, Anne rushed forward.
…
Max grabbed Montgomery by his fancy jacket, He was going to let him take the blame for this, He was hoping the newt would be terrified.
Instead, the newt smiled, he leaned closer to Max, "I can make things a lot worse for them, Lucian's beating will look like nothing to what I'll do him next." he whispered.
Max eyes widened, "You wouldn't"
He felt something pull him back, being pulled back he handed on the floor, he looked up to see Anne standing there a look of anger on her face.
"Max," she said trying to control her voice, "Is he telling the truth?"
The boy was about to say something, but he looked at Montgomery a smile on his face, Max sat there, he didn't see much of what Montgomery and his friend had done but what he had seen was bad.
He could tell the truth and get him into trouble.
That's when he remembered that day he tried to stand up to the Doe's.
What happened then had been his fault, He couldn't let that happened again.
"Yes," said Max.
He was shocked to see the look on Anne's face, one of surprised and disappointment, part of him wanted to tell the truth, but before he could, there was an outburst of rage.
"He's a monster." shouted a voice from the crowd.
"I thought humans were alright but this kid…"
"Maybe we were wrong."
"Why did she bring him here."
The crowd started to murmur.
"GUYS!" shouted a voice to the side, everyone turned to see Sprig and Polly running towards them.
They stopped just in front of the crowd, "It's Mrs Croaker, a Kill-a-Moth lifted her off the ground and dropped her, they've taken her to the hospital, but… she wasn't moving."
With that Max froze, he had been terrified that someone would have been hurt, but now he had confirmation, flashbacks of that day entered his head again an old woman falling to the ground her body unmoving.
"THAT KID MURDERED MRS CROAKER," shouted a toad in the crowd.
"HE'S A MONSTER," shouted a frog with a pitchfork.
"RUN HIM OUT OF TOWN." said a newt
The crowd started to move closer to the boy.
Before anything could happen Anne rushed in front of the boy, "EVERYBODY STOP!" she cried
The crowd stopped advancing
"He came here with me, I'll deal with him," Said Anne glaring at the crowd.
She turned to him, a stern look on her face, "Move" she said.
Max looked around, he could see looks of anger on many of the surrounding Amphibians, Marcy looked upset, Sasha looked at the boy pitifully, Sprig looked worried and Max was surprised to see the same look on Polly.
The only ones who weren't looking at him were Anne's parents looking at their daughter worried and Hop-Pop who just stated at Anne concerned.
"I said move Max," barked Anne as she started to walk
Max followed, Anne stopped near Micro-Angelo and Hop-Pop.
"I'm taking Micro-Angelo, I'll be back."
The old frog nodded and handed over the reigns of the snail to Anne.
Anne climbed on the snail, Max followed, as the left he felt every hateful glare on him.
…
The journey home was one of the most unpleasant things Max had ever been through.
He just sat there waiting for Anne to say something, just to go on a rant, to tell him how terrible he really was, to tell him he was a monster.
Instead, Anne just sat there quietly, not even looking at him, keeping her eyes on the road.
When the farm came into sight, he grew more afraid, maybe she was just waiting to shout at him in private.
As they got off the snail Anne gestured to the door.
Entering the farmhouse Max walked to the center of the room, and sat on the couch.
Anne stood there glaring down at him.
"Why?" She asked.
"Why what?" He asked back.
"Why did you attack that newt boy?"
Max needed to think of the words to say, something anything.
"He lied."
Anne just stood there, "What?"
"The newt boy he lied, I was looking after them-"
"No, just stop," said Anne bitterly.
"But I-"
"JUST STOP.!" shouted Anne, Max jumped back somewhat scared, "I'm done with this, I gave you the chance to take responsibility for this but no, You just decided to pass the blame to someone else."
"But he-"
"Even if you were telling the truth, do you think that it would change anything? You still threw a ball that attracted dangerous creatures at another kid, he could have been hurt or worse."
Max had to be honest she wasn't wrong, He had been so angry at Montgomery he hadn't really thought that it would have killed him, he just wanted to scare him.
"Let's look at what actually did happen, The Kill-A-Moths wrecked the town, meaning that all of Wartwood's going to be afraid of them and going outside again, The town now has a new reason to view humans as monsters, Oh and Worst of all you almost got might have gotten someone killed."
"I didn't mean to."
"Of you course you didn't, it just happened because you didn't think about anything, You just thought that endangering a life was a smart idea for some stupid prank.
"But he was-"
"I don't care, Max." Anne said bitterly, "This is what you always do, you pull pranks and cause problems for everyone, Since you've been here you've dyed the water fountain red, Took money from Hop-Pop to lie for him again almost endangering his health, Cheated in a robotic contest and now this, When are you going to grow up."
Max was starting to get angry, "No one was hurt front hat first one, Hop-Pop Bribed me, and that Newt was hurting my friends and-"
"Was he actually hurting them or was he just being a jerk? Because I don't care what he did, you almost got him killed and-"
"YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!" Max shouted
"WHY SHOULD I?" Anne spat back, "All you do is lie and cause problems for everyone, Everything you've done here has just caused people to suffer."
Max looked at her in a mix of anger and pain, "Didn't you say the day I messed up you'd be there to help?"
Anne was taken aback by that, she for a brief second it looked like he had gotten through to her.
Maybe if she had been in the right mind she would have.
But no, Anne was angry, she needed to make it clear just how badly this child had messed up.
"I was wrong, there's no changing you, You're the worst thing to happen to this town."
Anne wanted to hurt him, but she didn't know how much achieving that goal would hurt her as well, whatever resistance the boy had been putting up vanished instantly, on his face was a look of shock, that's when she noticed the tears in his eyes, he looked down at the floor
He's had enough" said a voice inside her head, "Apologize and go."
But no she wasn't going to stop yet.
"You're going home when I get back, after I've helped clam the town down, and after that I don't want to see you ever again.
Max didn't move, he's head still looking down at the floor.
Anne walked to the door, she briefly looked back hoping for any sort of reaction.
There was none, not doing anything she walked to the door.
…
Max continued to stand there, trying to stop crying, he felt that pain in his chest almost about to burst, one of the few adults who treated him like with kindness had just told she didn't care, Now he had no reasons to stay in a way it was a relief.
He heard the door open and close, when he looked up Anne was gone, he ran to the coat hook and picked up a leather bag, then to the kitchen where he stuffed it full of food that wouldn't spoil, he pulled out his phone and looked at the map, Swamp Shiro was the town nearest to Wartwood, he'd stay there for a night then go.
There he'd start anew away from this stupid town and stupid adult who hurt him.
He didn't them, he'd be fine out there.
If she had made it then so could he. Heck he'd do even better, he didn't need her he didn't need anyone.
All he had to ignore how much pain he was feeling.
…
It only took a few steps from the door for Anne's confidence to break a little, maybe she had been a little too harsh on him, but he needed to learn that his actions had consequences, so if that meant he had to never come here again well then that was it.
She had to be strong he couldn't just let him get away with this, banishment was the best option, she'd just have to weather through the guilt
Sighing she started to walk over to Micro-Angelo,
"ANNE!" called a voice from above, she looked up to see a familiar shape in the sky, it landed next to her, She recognized it as Joe Sparrow, Mercy was hanging on to his harness.
"Marcy, is everything okay?"
The other women shock her head, "The town's still murmuring about how bad Max is, Frogs are hurt, Mrs Croakers got to the hospital but… the doctors say it's bad."
Anne looked back at the farm house and closed her eyes, "Damn it Max." she whispered.
"Get on, we can get back faster on Joe."
Anne nodded she looked at Micro-Angelo, a part of her knew she should put him away but from the sounds of it the town needed her help, she climbed onto Joe, "Let's go," she told Marcy.
In seconds, they were in the sky flying towards Wartwood.
Hopefully helping the town would get rid of the guilt she was feeling.
…
Max saw Anne fly off on the giant bird, opening the door he walked to Micro-Angelo who was looking at a flower, it was a stroke of luck she had just left him out of his stable.
"Hey boy," said Max gently, "Let's get out of here."
Climbing on top of the snail's reigns he briefly looked back at the farm, it was strange despite only being there a few days it had become a home to him.
Turning away he closed his eyes, it wasn't his home it was just a place he stayed at for a while.
He felt the first drops of rain on his head, he tightened his borrowed cloak just a little bit more.
"Come on Micro-Angelo Let's go."
The snail started to crawl across the road.
…
Jokon watched as the snail left the farm, he could just see the human riding it, trying to look brace, in a few minutes the human would pass him by in his hiding spot in the trees.
Picking up the fly next to him the newt talked into its face.
"Tim, We've got a human coming your way, Not one we're after, but I think we can use him."
"Good," replied the frog on the other side of the line, "keep an eye on him, he'll make the perfect bait."
Indoraptorman101: Well you've guess some of the elements of this arc, however we're doing some things different, that said I should thank you for your review because I had to rewrite the Anne telling off Max scene twice, the thigns you wrote kind of gave me a better direction for where the fight should go, Thanks for that and thanks for the review.
