Chapter 5: You're My Alibi--That I Am Still Alive! 

On a day, like any other day; Roxanne was drawing when she heard a knock on the door, "Come in." She called, not looking up. The door burst open and Ethna spring onto the bed: "Hiiiiiiii!!!!!!!" She squealed. "Hey Ethna." Roxanne answered. Ethna spawled on the bed, "I got something to tell you!" She said in a sing-song tone. "What?" Roxanne asked, looking up with interest. "Guess." Ethna replied. "Tell me." dared Roxanne. "Noo, you have to guess!" exclaimed Ethna. Roxanne thought for a moment, "Hmm.....You got a boyfriend?" She asked. "No!" Ethna laughed. "You won a million dollars?" Roxanne inquired. "Try again!" sang Ethna. "You're going on a tropical vacation?" guessed Roxanne. "I wish! But no, I!!!!!! got a present for you!!!!" Ethna said happily. She handed her a box all wrapped up and the curious Roxanne opened it when confettit spring out. A sign and miniature dolls of Roxanne, Amadan, Oscar, and Vanessa were there on a platform. The sign also said: "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY, ROX-ANNE!!!!" Roxanne was surprised at first, then confused but finally she smiled. "Aww, thanks you guys!" Roxanne said. "YOU'RE SO CUTE ALL GUSHING THAT WAY!!!!" Amadan cooed while hugging Roxanne against his cheek, this made Roxanne a little uncomfortable so she could feel herself blushing and squirm a bit however Amadan embraced her and gave her a glare, "Mmmm....NO!!! BAD ROXY, BAD! NO SQUIRMING!!!!" He scolded at her as if she was a dog. "I AM NOT A PET, AMADAN!!!" Roxanne protested. "You are to me!!!" But she stopped for a moment to squirm a little bit more, "And I am not used to boys being this close to me!" Vanessa, Oscar, and Ethna laughed while Roxanne and Amadan blushed. Then, Ethna pulled Roxanne aside with Vanessa tagging along as they want to dress Roxanne up. They shut the door however Amadan and Oscar were outside the door as they overheard the girls talking and gushing amongst themselves. "Um, Amadan....Do you think it's OK that we're listening?" whispered Oscar. "Yeah, yeah, it's fine." Amadan muttered. They could hear Ethna's voice was saying, "Try this one! Oooh. try this, no wait--This one!" And Mia's voice rang out, "No way! I'm not wearing that." Ethna's voice was disapproval, "Whaaaaatttt?! Why not?" She whined. "The skirt's too short!" complained Roxanne. Amadan blushed. Ethna teased, "Soooo? Show those boys some eye candy." That comment made those two boys...Aroused! "Nuh-uh Ethna, she's not wearing that! End of story!" said Vanessa, coming to her defense. "OK, fine! Ah, look! I got this! Let's put it on!" Ethna's voice shouted. "Ethna! Get off, no--Don't take my clothes off!" shouted Roxanne. Amadan and Oscar heard a thump and a lot of incoherent girl voices squabbling but they continued to listen. "Amadan, th--this is getting too---" Oscar started to say but Amadan interrupts: "I know but I want to hear this...." But Ethna's squealed, she sounded closer to the door: "Ohhh! It looks perfect! Let's go show the boys!" Startled; Amadan and Oscar scrambled away from the door. When she came out, Roxanne looked cute. 

She wore a navy blue sailor midriff-bearing top with nautical collar and flap, and a miniskirt with a large slit. And her hair is always worn in two long pigtails. She was blushing so much, but Amadan and Oscar looked bedazzled when they saw her. Shyly, Roxanne smiled: "Hi guys." She said. "Roxxie, you look beautiful...I mean, you look more beautiful....It's a good thing." Amadan said. "Yeah, a good thing. Not full but have....uh...more beauty to it!" Oscar agreed. They didn't say anymore, they were scared of saying something stupid about her. But that made Roxanne smile, "Thanks you guys!" She said. Amadan knew Roxanne was smiling, but not from the bottom of her heart. He couldn't comfort her so soon and he was so gloomy to see that she must be hurt inside so much. Oscar thought Roxanne was cute in that outfit, he wanted to be the one to comfort her. And Vanessa was curious of her three friends would be all right. She was also concerned for Roxanne's well-being. While lying in bed at night; Roxanne thought about her day and how lucky to have friends by her side. She was going to get her revenge soon enough! Just then, she heard a knock on her door and it opened to reveal Amadan. "You OK, Roxanne?" He asked. "Oh, I'm fine. I--I just--I'm just tired, nothing to worry about." Roxanne claimed. "You sure? I mean what a day we had. But it's over now, at least." Amadan replied. He closed the door behind him and Roxanne was confused. "What is it? Is it me? I told you, I'm fine." She asked. "That's not what I wanted to say." replied Amadan. He sat on the foot of the bed, "I know we don't know each other that much but I just want to say, I don't want to lose you again...." Amadan said. Roxanne nodded, "I know. I'm not looking forward to lose anyone in my life either. I was remembering times with people I care about....The happiest days of my life with spending time today." She said. Amadan smiled, "Really? That's really nice of you." He said. "You and your friends are so good to me. And I want to say something but you gotta promise me OK?" Roxanne answered. "What is it?" inquired Amadan. "I will be here for you as you are for me, I won't leave you and I really am honest on what I say. I won't give up on any of you because this is like a war that I cannot affor to lose. I feel like I have more people that care about me so much....And that's why, I'll be calling you name Amadan. Not for the first time and not for the last, I'll be there for you....You're not just my friend or teammate; you're my alibi, that I'm still alive." Amadan grinned, "An alibi, huh. That word sounds like something out of a crime drama." He remarked. Roxanne smiled, "I know but you know what I mean? You guys are my reason to live for some reason." She said. "That's your way of promising me? Well, I don't know." joked Amadan. "Come on, Amadan, promise me?" Roxanne said with a small laugh. Amadan leaned his forehead against hers and whispers in a soft tone, "Promise. You're my alibi--That I am still alive!" He leaned away and was about to leave but not before bidding Roxanne a good night. In the interval; Charlotte sneaked off to the library to dig up some research and was trying to find some files on anything but she couldn't find a thing! Then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw some scrolls in the back and gets up to take a look. As she opened one of the scrolls; she couldn't read what it says. She heard someone coming and hid. It was Nathan Elton, he appeared to inspect the scrolls, Charlotte watched him carefully as she saw him looking at one. “Does he know?” thought Charlotte. Without thinking; she pounced at him, who fell down and felt Samson's hands around his throat. "You know how to read this thing?" She demanded. "Y-Y-Yes. I do." Nathan managed to choke out. Charlotte loosens her grip on her him and gets up as Cain panted and cough, "Good, you can help me understand it. Go! Do it! Get down to reading! What are you waiting for? Is it hard for you to read too?" She commanded. Nathan looked at it and said, "This scroll, I don't think we can use it. It has a--" "‘has a--has a--has a--' What? Tell me one word and I'll be satisfied. The scroll has a problem? A password? An aneurysm?" Charlotte guessed. "A secret code." Nathan said, he looked at her with chutzpah. Charlotte narrowed her eyes. She pinned his neck to the wall hard with her shoe, "How do I know you're telling the truth?" She asked. "Because--If--If I lied then you would get in trouble and I'll be in trouble." gagged Nathan. Charlotte released him, "All right, top secret is in your hands." She said. Charlotte turned to walk away but Nathan stops her. "Just a minute! Nobody should look at this. Besides, if you discover it then--" He said. Charlotte raised a finger to hault him. "Don't tell me, they'll gag me and lock me up to keep my mouth shut." She said. Nathan looks at her before he nods. "Exactly." He said. "Gotcha." Charlotte said with a thumbs-up. Later, Charlotte came across him again and asked, "Did you miss me?" "What are you doing here?" Nathan questioned, looking a tad bit suspicious. "Oh, just seeing how my favorite and interesting person is doing. Is he happy? Sad? Mad? Lonely? Don't want my home boy to be miserable." replied Charlotte. Nathan couldn't help but smirked a bit at what she said, Charlotte said: "So, what do you think? You and me could go to Wonderland and see the Maf Hatter?" Nathan shook his head, "I don't know. I think you're not crazy and I'm not miserable but....You could be." He answered. "Like I haven't heard that before." Charlotte said with a dark laugh. She then got serious as she continues, "My seductive ways turns boys into dolls — easily controllable and fun to play with. I'm known to be a problem, like how I'm imploring boy toy to make me crazy....not the 'good soul' that doesn’t want to hurt the others. People think I'm some superficial and stuck up because they think I care about looks over everything. And how I like expensive things too. But just because I think about how cute guys like you are all the time, doesn't mean that will make me fall in love, my love can't be bought."

"That's understatement." Nathan remarked. "What's that's supposed to mean?" asked Charlotte, glaring her. "You'll be a girl hard to crack but I don't want to break you badly but maybe I can chip away whatever frosted, glazing shell you cover yourself in." said Nathan. "You really don't know me that well, Nathan Elton." Charlotte retorted. "Eh, maybe not." answered Nathan with a shrug. Charlotte walks away but not before she shoots a sly glance at him. That night, Nathan was walking on this plank and the scenario was all white to him. "Hello?" He called, "Is anyone there?" Nobody answer until he felt someone's hands around his neck in a tender act of love. "I want you, come find me..." A girl's voice whispered in her ear. In the second sequence; Images of a liplock kiss, then the lips departed as a teen boy's voice whispered against the gasping beautiful girl, "Did you like that? I really hope you did. Because I've been wanting to do that all this time." Lips osculated together in a passionate manner, hands on skin. In an embrace of something tender and sweet. Cannot see but can feel the touch of delicate skin, it sends a feeling to be alive. When they breathe; it opens the airways and a heart beating in this life and breathes again, so beautiful....Licking lips. Fingers interlocking, hands holding together against white sheets. Cushty panting. Velvety incoherent whispers. It was dark, it felt blurry, so hard to see but there was a feeling of flesh entwined, carassing hair, touching skin. Head threw back with a jerk. Nails digging into the skin. Blood scars like scrapes on a chalkboard. More cushty gasps that were reserved: "Oh, oh, oh...." gasped a female's voice. "That's it...That's it...You're entering a whole new world." said that teen boy's voice softly. Biting bottom lip, but a pleasurable scream shrilled out. Nathan sat up, he couldn't believe he had a dream that way. He was covered in sweat, he was trying to catch his breath. "Nathan?" Slaine asked. Nathan jumped and glanced to see his m'lady in the doorway, looking lovely than ever. "Everything OK?" asked Slaine. "Yeah, it's nothing. Just a dream." claimed Nathan. Slaine nodded, "Some dream with all that panting and whispers, talking in your sleep." She remarked. "I was?" Nathan asked. "Yes, what do you dream about in there Nathan? I hope you're not trying to be" explained Slaine with a bit of teasing in her voice. "Maybe you should've listened, m'lady." said Nathan, looking mortified and red face. "Just be careful when you talk in your sleep, OK?" Slaine said. Nathan nods and he went back to sleep after Slaine left. While out at night, Maggie Mae was confronted by monsters and fought them off but she was nearly overpowered but she got the upperhand and defeated them all! After slaughtering the monsters; Maggie Mae was found in the street as she stumbles back while covered in blood as she was moaning. In the meantime; Seiten was walking out at night when he saw something walking like a zombie towards him. His eyes are watching Maggie Mae as she was staggering, and he begins imagining that she is standing alone as she wore a red lingerie with a blood stained body from head to toe. She holds up the heart of a pig for him to see and eats it whole. Then, she starts to unzip her clothes, revealing bare skin underneath and a cloud of blood flows out from beneath the cloth. "Maggie Mae, is that her.....?" thought Seiten. Then, he begins to smile as he was excited to see her. In reality, Maggie Mae was exhausted but she almost fell over and Seiten helps her to get back. Meanwhile; A drop of blood slow falls from the air above Seiten's bed. More and more begin to fall, covering his face and pillow as he stares up at the ceiling. There was a carpet of blood and the naked Maggie Mae, who is covered only by a few strategically-placed blood drops that are slowly falling away as she is reaching her hand over at him. Seiten wakes up and he sighed but he heard water in the bathroom and went to see who's in there. Inside the bathroom, Seiten witnesses  Maggie Mae reclining in a large bathtub. She says: "I've been waiting for you." When he walks closer he sees that the bathtub is filled with blood. "You look good, I can see how much you kill." said Maggie Mae. Then, she looked at the bathwater.  "Is the water to you warm blooded or cold blooded?" Seiten dipped his hands into the water and looked at the blood before drinking it from his hand as Maggie Mae leans her head back as she could feel the blood in her and lets out a climax spasm. Seiten woke up as he was ashamed by the stupid dreaming he had in his head. 

Starting to remember old memories that were kept held in for so long, and is now feeling the pain again from it. In reference for all the many times Charlotte got by when she held on to her insecurities, and assumptions. After all the pain Charlotte goes through, she continues to fall. She  can’t give up on herself, even though she would be better off if she did so. Nathan is simply a item she can't get over regerdless of what happens in her, and wishes she didnt need them in her life. she wishes she dosen't need to chase them and try to work things out. He's like a appendix to her, It's in most of our bodies, but theres no real general or vital use for it. "I still fight and I don’t know why....I still fight and I don’t know why." thought Charlotte while thinking of Nathan, "If my heart breaks into despair and sadness, why are you the one that cures them? If If love isn’t something that makes sense, why doesn't it make so much sense to me?" "Charlotte!" Nathan called out. Ashley turned around, "Nathan?" She asked. Nathan look at her, "Why are you so scared?" Nathan demanded. Charlotte was bleeding from the wound as she wanted to die, she fainted however Nathan rush to save her. Poor Charlotte who was crying and she could barely breathe however she lives. As Charlotte was unconscious; Nathan looked on the Moneta and found her memories on there: Charlotte, is trying to figure out why the world is so cold. She is only younger, she’s trying to understand why life isn’t fair and why everyone is so unhappy. She is lacking confidence and she feels like she can’t fit in with everyone else. Getting drunk of her ass and lacking better judgement, her mother is constantly angry at her and yells at her for things that are likely not her fault and even ends up resorting to physical violence. When the teachers notice her injuries, she lies about them because she’s afraid of revealing her mother’s abuse. The physical abuse has gotten so bad that it has damaged an organ or ruptured a blood vessel causing internal bleeding. She cries from the pain and because she is scared of her mother. Charlotte always had trouble finding friends that could understand her. One of her friends, Chelsea Stacy, has been killed due to a drive by a bullet, killed by something that wasn’t her fault and out of her control. After her friend Chelsea dies, she feels alone once again. Their mother name Erica is popping ecstasy pills in order to feel happier. While going through puberty emotions become heightened due to hormones and cause many teenagers to act very impulsively. In Erica’s case this is demonstrated by her claiming her love for someone she barely knows. The fact that she is neglected at home most likely contributes to the desperate desire she has to be loved by someone. Erica is only thinking about what her situation is now instead of what tomorrow holds and besides, she’s wouldn’t be for another emotional letdown because she’s emotionally vulnerable. Erica is pregnant and her belly grows. Their father does not have the resources to care for a child, so instead of staying and trying to raise the child, he bails out to leave Erica on her own. Her mom would make it seem like a bigger deal than it is! She can’t afford to have an abortion. She’s alone in this world, and home seems like a living hell. There’s no point in staying where she is now, so she wants to pack her things and leave. Charlotte and Delilah couldn't deal with it, so they escaped the dark life of abuse and a journey ahead with each other.

Charlotte look up again and he's staring at her intently. "What--?" Charlotte begin, but then he leans in almost too fast to catch, and before she knew it he had her trapped in an embrace. Too dumbstruck to react, Charlotte just sit there and let the attractive boy hug her for a second before she suddenly feel a prick in her shoulder. "Ow!" Charlotte yell and throw him off of her, jumping up to see some sort of tranquilizer stuck in her arm. Charlotte quickly rip it out and throw it. "WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT THE HELL?!" Unfortunately, Charlotte stumble over the side, weak in the knees, falling but then she could feel a pair of arms encircle her waist. He pulls her back in. "Lemme go--you creep.." She said, slowly getting blurrier as the drowsiness begins to take over. Her body feels heavy, as does her eyes. Inside she was enraged, but so, so sleepy. The last thing she hear before she fade into rest is the sound of a mysterious boy's soft whisper, "I'm so sorry..." In the world while struggling in slavery and abuse; Charlotte numb the pain with drugs. These drugs can act as a stimulant or a depressant, making her feel either much better or much worse. They can also distort her perceptions of size and shape. Her parents used to put her on as free love lifestyle was in full swing. Of course, these pills don’t do anything mind-altering either. If she was looking for confirmation that illegal drugs work better, so she can expand her mind more, provide more intense sensations, than the ones that her mother gives her, she would go ask someone who’s gotten high on them. She would be toked on opium. Charlotte plunge into a trippy world on hallucinogens. Charlotte would be having a bad trip, when going high was going bad, giving her horrible hallucinations or physically sickening experiences. It's when she wants more of when buying or joining a party. The policemen telling these users to leave a place where they’ve been on these hallucination narcotics; sending them to the battlefield. Charlotte was also high, and getting depressed as well as lethargic because of the drugs she'd ingested. When everything seems to be tumbling down on her, Charlotte would take stimulating drugs, and she then becomes happy with her place in the world. Dreams and psychedelics make for sloppy logic, and throw the proportions of the world out of whack. Charlotte would take more narcotics in order to feel better and expand her mind and consciousness in general. And then, there was Delilah and her point of view in memories inside her mind: Charlotte has been hoping and wishing for better and brighter days to come. She has seen and experienced things no one should ever have seen. There are things she wishes to say to people, but she can’t. She wants to know why people live in a society that doesn’t let us speak these things. She is praying to The Giver Above, telling him to keep her safe in his strong arms, whose almighty arms cover us all and tower over us like towers. Charlotte took a job with being an assistant for the children. She worked with the children, who love her very much. The kids were: Alice Smith, Bob Mustermann, Craig Anders, Dane Jansen, Erin Perez, Faythe Rossi, Paul Atkins, Sam Dupont, Thomas Ivanovich, Walter Fritz, and Sally Nordmann. The teachers and teaching assistants adore Charlotte too; their names are Erica Stiles, Rudelle 'Rudi' Lingens, Juana deCruz, and Maira Major--Even Principal Andrea Walker likes her too! The elementary mornings go like this: There is prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, sing along, they have to do work, and one of the students have learning therapy. Then they go out for P.E., the children finally come back to go to the bathroom, a little break of snack before going back to class, and have lunch. In the afternoons; the children music, and they go outside to play. The kids in the middle school have a different lesson in class: then they go back to do their work, and finally they have lunch. They have music or some of them are having physical or learning therapy. And lastly they go home. 

Things got more frightened when a young, eccentric man name Saphir Norman, who is bored of the sentimental normality of his life. When he first met Charlotte; Saphir hasn’t fallen for a girl in a while, and he hooked on her. The tingle he gets in his makes him feel alive! He’s feeling awfully amorous. He writes letters to claim his love for her. But Charlotte was flattered until she is disturbed to find Saphir has an insatiable interest in Charlotte and try to advance her while declaring his love for her. Charlotte laughed, however Saphir could not stop flirting and trying to make more intimate moves. Charlotte refused him and Saphir became violent, until the teachers and assistants told him to stop pestering her. Saphir was screaming: "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?!" As Lingens and Major calmed him down, Principal Walker apologized for this and promise to make it up to her. Charlotte thanked her. Then, something changed her life forever as she got a text on her phone that said, "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU, NOBODY CAN!!! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A TEACHER'S PET AND A PRINCIPAL'S LAP DOG!!!! JUST WAIT, I HAVE A SPECIAL SURPRISE FOR YOU!!!!" Entering inside the school; Charlotte looked in one of the classrooms to see the children having dinner but it ends up badly as she watched in horror as one of them choked to death as the other kids watch in horror. The nine kids couldn't sleep of what they saw but they finally went to sleep and one of them was found with their throat torn open. The eight couldn't stay in each of the rooms however one of them didn't believe there was something wrong here and decided to sleep but he never came out of his room. Seven waited, while they wait; they cut up some fruits and vegetables. One of them cut his hands by accident and bled to death. Now there were six of them as they were trying to probe a beehive. But one of them got stung by a lot of bees and he drowned into the river for he couldn't swim. Five left as they got lost in the woods but one of them caught by a hermit as he was never seen again. Now, four went by the sea as a whale came and swallowed one of them. Three went to another forest which was forbidden and was mauled by a bear. Two were lost and no place to go, they were dehydrated and try to find water. One of them died from lack of thirst and one was left. But in his devastation; the last threw himself off a cliff, and then there were none. Charlotte was so scared, she couldn't believe this was happening. She heard something was coming and she hid in the closet. She had to stay quiet, Charlotte didn't want to be found out. That's when the person enters and Charlotte couldn't believe who it was: Ogma Leupold, he was Danica's son! He looked around as he saw the massacre. Charlotte covered her mouth to keep her from breathing, "He killed them?! Those deadly traps, it was all him!" She thought. Then, she heard a gun go off and something fell. Charlotte was too scared but she peeked out from the door and gasped. Ogma laid on the floor, a gun was beside him as he laid there motionless. "He...shot himself?!" thought Charlotte. She rushed out, eyes blurred with tears as she couldn't believe this was happening. And she feared guns because of what happened to Ogma. However she stopped by the exit to see someone was sitting at the table motionless and Charlotte let out a scream, it was Danica's body. She had been killed by her own son! Turning the knob of the door, Charlotte rushed out in a variety of emotions: Fear and sadness. After seeing those dark memories from the Moneta; Nathan turned to Charlotte and locked eyes with her while talking to her, "You cant blame yourself because you never had real love to understand. You have no understanding of something that was never there. It's not your fault." Charlotte begin to cry happy tears however she had to say, "If my heart breaks into despair and sadness, why are you the one that cures me? If love isn’t something that makes sense, why doesn't it make so much sense to me when you're around me?"

In the meantime; Roxanne looked at the Moneta to know about Genjo and the other boys: Genjo was asleep as his bedroom door opened and about footsteps that belong to six feet. Those six feet belong to three figures looking down at the sleeping Genjo. "Good morning, Genji." A light, gentle and smooth but snarky male voice muttered. Another voice which sounded deep, gruff said: "Wakey, wakaey." And a third male voice that sounded slightly deep of a baritone but sounded a bit young also said, "Rise and shine, Genji boy." Genjo woke up all groggy, "What do y'all want?" He asked. "Come on, Genjo, wake up." said Kenren. "Wake up." Seiten replied, nudging Genjo. Genjo rose from the bed sheets as he rubbed his eyes, "I'm up. What time is it?" He inquired. "Doesn't matter. We need your money." Seiten said, "Where's the money?" Genjo smirked, "For what?" He pretended to ask but looked sly while doing it. "You know what, bro." Seiten said, excitedly. The four guys were rough housing with one another, they were acting childish but it felt good since they haven't seen each other for awhile. Later after the boys horsing around with one another; Kenren was counting the money: "Twenty--Thirty--Fifty--Hundred..." He said. Genjo glanced at the disappointed looks on his friends with a nervous expression. "What, are you serious? That's it?" snapped Tenpo. "We're not even like half way yet." Kenren remarked. "Don't blame me, my boss doesn't pay me enough." Genjo claimed. The other boys sighed, "Damn. That won't even get us a night in a hotel room down there." Seiten snapped. "I have another stash of cash in my money box." Genjo offered. Kenren shot a glance at his friend, "Genjo, do you know how upscale that place is?" He said. They wanted money to get to Murias Island but they didn't know how they were going to. Seiten, Tenpo and Kenren decided--without Genjo knowing--they would rob a bank. Seiten and Tenpo would do the robbery part while Kenren woul be in the car, looking out for the police. Seiten and Tenpo were in the back, they opened the door with a rough slam; startling the others there! "Freeze, bastards! Hands in the air!" shouted Tenpo. "Get your knees on the ground, you piece of crap!" Seiten screamed, "Get on your knees. You wanna die tonight? I don't think so!" This was too much for the other people in the room. "Don't kill me!" The citizens shouted, cowering in fear. They handed the three their money as they don't want to die. "Let's just get this money and go." Seiten said to the other two. Tenpo laughed hysterically, "Hell yeah!" He said. "Move! Go! Go!" Kenren ushered. And they got away. Once they three got back, they load out the money as Genjo came in and looked at it in amazement. "Aww man." Seiten laughed. Genjo was surprised by how much money they got: "How much money is that?" He asked. "There's a lot here, Genjo! We actually robbed a fast food place." Tenpo said. "No flippin' way!" Genjo gasped. "Yes flippin' way!" Seiten said, "We did it. We pulled it off, we really friggin' pulled it off. It was awesome." Genjo shook his head, "You guys are so crazy." He remarked. And they went to Murias Island, where they had a good time there.
Then, one night; Seiten told Genjo what happened during the bank robbery: "Kenren was sitting there, looking out for all the freakin' police. We were in the back, we just opened the door and we go, 'Freeze, bastards! Hands in the air! Get your knees on the ground, you piece of crap! Get on your knees. You wanna die tonight? I don't think so!' and they were like, 'Don't kill me.' And they gave us their money!" While Seiten described it, Tenpo was laughing as Kenren smirked a little bit while Genjo looked at his friends in terror. "What did they do?" Genjo asked. "They got on the ground." Tenpo said laughing. Genjo couldn't believe it, "You guys said that?" He inquired. "Yeah, we said it. It's amazing, Genji boy." Tenpo replied. "Stick with us, Genjo my man. It's the best way to live and you'll be a ruffian, too. You'll have all this power and all the money you want." Seiten said. Genjo was upset, he glared at them and begins to have a violent meltdown only to be stopped by his friends. "Genjo." Seiten said, trying to comfort his upset friend. "Genji, it's okay." But Genjo was furious: "Why is this happening? This isn't supposed to happen.....I don't understand...!" He said. Kenren looked at him, a look of guilt was across his face. "We were just having fun. We didn't do anything wrong." Tenpo claimed. "Genji, we are not going to let anything happen to you, all right. It's okay, buddy." Seiten comforted him. "This isn't why we came here. I thought if we came here that we could...Be free or just have fun. I just have a really, really bad feeling about this. I just want you guys to come back with me. Come back home with me." His three friends convinced him that they weren't going to do that again and begged him to stay, Genjo agrees. There was another young man with short brown hair and light blue eyes. He wears a black collared jacket that has skull-motif buttons, and a shirt with skull-prints. He wears black trousers and red-soled black boots. "Howdy boys." The young man greeted them. "Who are you?" asked Genjo. "My name is Sambo Kojin." The young man said. "Sambo?" Seiten asked. "Why are you here?" Kenren inquired. "I saw you guys in there. You looked like nice people. Thought maybe I'd help you out. I mean, everyone can use a little help once in a while." Sambo explained. "Why?" Tenpo questioned. Sambo laughed a bit, "Come on, why you acting suspicious? Get in." He said, gesturing towards his car. "Where are we going?" Genjo asked. Sambo smiled, "Just to have some fun." He said and they drove off! The came where Maggie Mae was confronted by him on that night: "Hop into the backseat babydoll, I'll show you some fun." But the girl wasn't interested. She kept walking as Sambo came up to her and put his hands on the side of her face, "You're my soul mate. I swear I just fell in love with you. You're different from the rest. I knew you were special from the moment I saw you. It's in your eyes. It's written on your faces. I wanna make you happy." He said. Laughter wasn't behind him. The girl pushed him away, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." She said, she pushed him gently however Sambo was persistant and the girl got upset as she shouted, "Can you all just PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE?!" Then, Sambo violently assaulted her and he leaned in close as he got her trapped and the girl looked scared. "Let me tell you something, sweetheart...There ain't no man in his right mind that leaves a pretty little thing like you out here all alone." He then begin to beat her up as Genjo and his friends stopped Sambo before he could go any further. "Whoa, whoa!" Tenpo was saying, holding Sambo back from the girl who was crying. "Stop, are you crazy?" Genjo exclaimed. "Why did you do that? What the hell is wrong with you?!" Seiten demanded. Kenren came to the girl's aid, "Are you OK?" He asked. "I thought he was going to...Oh....!" The girl said, crying. She then ran off in fright. Later, the four friends confronted Sambo. "I don't see how you guys can be so mad at me!" Sambo said. "You don't see how we can be upset about that? You call this fun? FUN?! Hurting a girl is not fun! She said you didn't want it, you could've leave her alone but no! YOU DIDN'T!!!" Seiten snapped. "Hey, you kidding? She deserved it!" Sambo interjected, "Women are all the same; the only thing that stops them from acting like flirty hummingbirds is that they're pretending to be the victim and they're afraid of guys like me!" Genjo spoke up, "Doesn't make any of us feel better....What, did something happen to you? Like when you were a kid or something? Not all women pretend, and she didn't deserve it." Sambo sighed, rolling his eyes to the sky. Seiten approached him, "Did you intend on hurting her?" He asked. Sambo didn't answer, so Seiten tried again, "Sambo?" The Moneta ends as Roxanne was surprised by this and whispers: "They really do care.....Why?" 

It wasn't too dark as light poured through a boarded up window, it was morning. She scans her surroundings as only to snap her attention turned to a corner with a shuffling sound. "So, you're finally awake beautiful." A voice murmured. She looked and she saw Seiten in a straitjacket, "You OK?" asked Maggie Mae. "Oh, yeah. All tied up so this isn't nothing new." Seiten remarked sarcastically. Maggie Mae can't remember what happened as she looked around at the windows and the door, checking to see that they were locked however Seiten is watching her every move while in the room. "Whatcha looking at?" Maggie Mae grumbled, prying a plank from the floor. It wasn't like him looking at her bothered Maggie Mae one bit but somehow, a faint blush creeping on her face as she could feel Seiten's eyes raking her while he chuckled. Maggie Mae sighed, sitting back in her corner. A lot of time has passed and Seiten stretched his arms out, he looked at Maggie Mae and grinned wickedly: "So, what do you think about killing people?" He asked. Terrified; her mind was shrieking, "What kind of question is that?" as she flattened herself on the wall while Seiten chuckled again. He shifted around and he seemed uncomfortable. "Ugh! These stupid restraints." He muttered with a look of a disgust. Maggie Mae walked over and removed the restraints, "What the hell?" Seiten started to say but then he felt loose from the straitjacket and grinned, throwing the jacket off him. Seiten stretched while Maggie Mae watched him for awhile. It was now dark out and Maggie Mae yawned but she didn't sleep. She begin to hum to herself, while trying to stay awake. Seiten watched her, mesmerizing by her. It was quiet for a moment until Maggie Mae looked at him, "Seiten?" She asked. "Hmm?" Seiten responded. "What do.....What do you think about me?" inquired Maggie Mae. Seiten looked at her with shock, "Did she ask me that?" She seem want to know this, "Why would he not be scared of me after all we've been through? OK, I don't know him that much!" In the meantime; Seiten could feel his heart racing, he didn't want to admit that he was falling for her. He anxiously didn't know what to say, but there was a mushy part of him that wants to melt in her arms as wants to nuzzle her neck. That thought that she was thinking of the same thing made Maggie Mae blush but also disgusted. "You know something?  I've always thought you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." said Seiten. Maggie Mae blushes, "Really?" She asked. "Since the first time I met you." Seiten said. "That's nice, that really makes me feel good. Someone like you could really make it alright for me." Maggie Mae replied. "You think?" inquired Seiten. "Yeah." replied Maggie Mae. The two managed to escape from the room and got away as Maggie Mae couldn't stop holding Seiten's arm. 

In the meantime; Kenren appeared before Lalena with a music box. "You like it?" asked Kenren, he then closed the music box. Lalena looked away, "Um, just thought the song was beautiful. That's all." She claimed. "Me too, I think the song is wonderful." agreed Kenren. "Yeah, sure." Lalena replied, looking annoyed. Kenren noticed her attitude, "What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" He asked. Lalena glanced at him, "Why are being nice to me?" She demanded. Kenren realized what he did, "Because, you need someone." He explained. Lalena didn't believe him, "Uh huh." She said. "I'm just here if you need me, I will never abandoned you." Kenren remarked. Lalena looked at him with disbelief, "You? You're pulling me leg." She snapped. "I'm not, but you seemed interested. Very different." Kenren spoke. "Liar." Lalena muttered. "Why would I lie?" asked Kenren. Lalena glared at him, "People I know do, I can't trust people." She said. Kenren was perplexed, "You can't trust people?" He said. Lalena sighed and she walked away. That night, Lalena and Maggie Mae were hanging out when they heard something tapping against the window, Maggie Mae looked out the window and her eyes widened. "Uh, Lala? I think you wanna see this." Maggie Mae said nervously. Lalena looked out the window, her name was light up in neon lights. "Oh crap, it's him!" She gasped. "Huh? Who?" asked Maggie Mae, confused. "He must be filming me right now!" Lalena claimed, rushing away. Still perplexed; Maggie Mae called out: "Uh, Lala? Is there something you want to tell me?" Lalena didn't answer as she looked out the window and saw someone was filming her from his window and smiled while she layed there in sweat pants and a bustier. She smiles, knowing someone was watching her and it makes her feel good. The next day, Lalena was outside again and was really enjoying the great outdoors, the sky was blue and the breeze felt nice as she closed her eyes to feel it brushed against her. "Having fun?" Kenren asked. Lalena turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look, now that you're happy; I want to make you my project." Kenren said. Lalena looked at him, "Me? Ken-Ken, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Kenren looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Lalena smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Kenren smirked back, "Me?" He said. He took the camera back. "Hey!" Lalena protested. Kenren turned off the camera, "You owe me!" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Lalena couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even!" Lalena prompted. Kenren smirked, "I know, just messing with you." He said. Lalena smirked, "I'll show you messing around." She hectored. Then, she leaned in and liplock with Kenren but when she parted her lips away and was shocked. "Oh god, I'm so sorry..." She said. Kenren was stunt, "For...what?" He gasped. He didn't want to think and try to touch Lalena but she pulled away. "No, I...Maybe I shouldn't do that. I'm really sorry..." She stammered, looking all red in the face and very much mortified. She was trying to be flirtatious but something was beating in her chest like a hammer. What was going on with her? She left there, confused, because she never felt like this before. Lalena didn't know what was going on with her. The same thing went for Maggie Mae, "Why did he say that I was beautiful? I don't get it...Why do I feel this way?" She wondered. 

Later; Seiten was looking over the skyline and Kenren was sitting by the lake, each of them were thinking about their lives: Seiten and Kenren come from a poor household and eventually left with food stamps in one hand and their stuff in the other. In his life; Seiten was in a rough place in his life living in a life of poverty. The people there were so poor they didn’t have much of a say in anything. And on top of that, the foundation of their lives were made from liars and thieves. They didn’t have jobs or money, so lying and thievery were the ways in which to survive. Soars beyond their roots; Kenren came from a man who got his mother pregnant and left her as if she was nothing to him. He meets the biological father but wants no good to come to him. He’ll be able to rise above his demons after being held down his entire childhood. This man used and manipulated Kenren's mother and broke her down. But there’s no way she’s taking this sitting down. They both were fearlessly seeks a spiritual connection and they leap from the confines of their own inner demons. Instead of being the hunted, Seiten is now the hunter. He wants to get back at those who have wronged him and his family in the past and is now in the position to do so. He has revenge on his father who walked out on them or even the people for trying to wrongfully enslave his life. Eventually the wrongs will be right, putting an end to the injustice. Desperate and broken; Seiten and Kenren were going on a crusade, but now they are maybe prisoners of war, punished for all the lives they took through blood and pain, because they thought that the people they thought cared about them was defending them, but it was a dream to think that those bastards was on their side. Man constantly tests their own will, and with this constant test they not only doubt themselves, but also affect the positive aspects of the world around them. It was s time for them to be out in the open so they can be free, the lessons learned on the battlefield of love are only the stepping stones towards the war ahead. They were promised to rid the earth of wrong. But they were the ones wrong, and they lost their kingdom, due to the crusade. They thought they were blessed but they only thought. In the end, they know they aren’t. The good and the evil line says that both sides are hurt, anything can happen in war, but no matter what, anyone can have to always keep on fighting and persevere. Even the holy will be harmed; the good and the bad both suffer from war. Seiten once said, "Who says what’s right is right? Who says what’s wrong is wrong? The way society sees it, stealing is wrong, and unfair to others. But the way poor people, with families, who steal, well, they steal to survive, cause the low-class jobs don’t give enough money as it is. I’m not saying stealing is right. I’m asking what makes it wrong, when you’re doing it for a good reason." He’ll never give up, no matter what direction he has to go in. He’ll fight until the end of the world itself, if that’s what it takes. In the meantime; Kenren is known by most, but he's nothing special. He is like a traveler or soldier, who has seen a lot of the world, good and bad. But he can’t get enough of seeing the world and will go on. Only if he got a fortune he’d quit travelling and seeing more of the world. Kenren has seen the world. He vows to fight to keep up the good work. He sees the dawn on the horizon and he believes in a better tomorrow. In his heart he is free. He is running away from all others but the very one goal he is after. When he was ordinary. He did not want to taint his life with his shine.So he sets himself free. He tried to keep himself as long as he could and that was selfish of him, but that moment in time was enough to whisper across eternity. He stops thinking when he should think and let things just sink into his mind. His visions are starting to become clearer to him. He is starting to be able to see the light and he can’t keep control on his focus because he wants his heart's desire. Everything he was promised when he made his sacrifice seems to be withering away, he is not willing to consider anything but the worthy. 

He made a promise that he would wait and he will wait. All the mistakes he’s made are piling up and are starting to form a mountain on which he sits. He learns of how people of lesser rank that he sends to battle are killed due to his command and acknowledges that their death is caused by his own commands. He then realizes his mistakes and takes greater precaution in enabling his people to prosper. All the mistakes that were made yesterday, are coming to get him today and are going to affect his life in the present. He doesn’t want to see that the mistakes are affecting his life in the present. The pressures of life are coming down on him and is testing someone that is close to him to help him if he were to break down. The life that they were living was so stiff that there was just no excitement. There was no fighting and while most people would think that this would be a happy thing. He needs some type of unpredictability in his and he cannot live this stiff lifestyle. He feels as though they will never do more in life, he feels as though he is being buried by the pressures of life and yet he doesn’t care. Kenren wants to break down and let go of all the emotions that he has inside. he’s done with living that way. This lifestyle was killing him on the inside. He tried to be someone he’s not, but it didn’t help him. It's not easy to pretend and eventually the reality of one's self comes out. Kenren has found out who he is as a person. He understands himself and becomes more self actualized. When some people are afraid of the dark, he thrives off of it and know that the danger is only what he could see. Problems don’t go away because they aren’t being acknowledged. He was once told something: "When you love someone you can pretend you don’t see bad things and it’s less likely you’ll get hurt. But even when you’re with a stranger, problems don’t go away because they aren’t being acknowledged and unfortunately it will never get painless." He remembers not to be afraid of the dark for the problems that are there. Every time again he wants to be able to handle the problem and don’t close his eyes for them but it’s not working and that is driving him crazy. Maybe they actually forget about it all, try to hide the problems and act like everything’s all right. He thinks if they could do that, it could feel like they’re in heaven, like everything is fine and nice. He says he isn’t human anymore, that he’s just became a machine without a soul. Only the outside of him still exists and that’s the shell of what he always dreamt. "The fantasy is your life’s greatest passion and dream. Do you sacrifice your entire being for what you want? Do you see your passion clearly? Or are you being deluded with the idea that you cannot accomplish what you seek?" The words echoing in his head. He is on the path to rehabilitation, and it started when he lost himself, the odds are not in favor, suggesting that the steep upward slope that an individual has to travel. Kenren is falling back and he is taking someone with him, "As time goes on, you achieve and fail, you gain and lose, and change so much. I will never forget what I’ve gone through, and because of that, I can go on living. I’m not going to apologize for getting you in trouble, but maybe we’ll see each other again, one day." Kenren is reflecting on his life and how he's living it. Everybody wants to be different and separate themselves from others. But he’s thinking about if he could actually want to be different. Some people hope and believe that they can and learn from their past mistakes, to change their character. Kenren, however does not believe that this is possible. Life is a game because there is so much that a person must face in order to get through it. Being young is a game of secrets and illusions. With everyone trying to be different, it begins to seem like they’re all playing the same game. A major characteristic of rock music is to go against social standards and expectations, a perfect way to describe social interactions, especially when it comes to being the new person in town or high school in general. The game of life can get out of hand. All of a sudden with all of the secrets we’re keeping from the world it can become too much. It seems as if everyone can see right through the act. caught up in the fear of not being themselves and then they remember, it’s all a game. Everything they’re keeping from others is for the sake of that game, so really there’s no need to stress about the lies. Life is such a beautiful thing yet it brings pain to those who live it. Lies are typically seen as a negative thing, it’s beautiful. Which I suppose in a way, it is. There’s something about the game of life that is intriguing. Especially in this case, where it’s as if everyone is wearing a mask and everyone has a secret part of themselves. There’s always more to discover in a person than what people first see. In his past, Kenren was passive and violent. All the effort that Kenren does to reach his goals, all that is because he works hard. He successful in his dreams, or be always looking for that broken dreams. Kenren found a special home in Quivera and the rawness of this exposes the love he feels for the city. Enjoy each moment of their lives, no matter how, just live it.

Seiten and Kenren has been flying on Cloud Nine, Oblivious to reality. stuck on and they know very well he destroyed. Is this mental breakdown the end they feels? They still flying high of enlightenment, great sorrow comes from this life called mortality. All of the laws of the Universe they’ve broken, all the hearts they’ve broken, have they come to the end of their journey? They're still flying high, they're lost in the dark searching. They wouldn't trade their souls for the lies they are fed, lust after their shine, is this the end of their fight?In a previous life they were the great love of their lives. they've seen them in their dreams. They see themselves with each of Maggie Mae and Lalena together but they can’t hold on to the reality because of these two lethal and fragile girls. Obsession consumes the soul. They pursue the obsessions until they choke the life from them. They will love something that is bad for them until they break. Seiten knows Maggie Mae could see her in the darkness. Kenren just want to reach out and grab Lalena. Seiten can call certain beings to do his bidding and if he doesn't have strong control of the will the spirits will negotiate with him. They will tell him the time tables. Kenren has avoided whatever issue they are facing in life. They’ve been living a lie that they believe, having convinced themselves that the problem doesn’t really exist. However, they’ve now realized they don’t want to live this lie anymore and are no longer in denial about their problems. has decided that now is the time to confront their problems head on. They have to try to solve it no matter what, even if it means death. Therefore they will literally do it or die trying. If he can make an impact, if he does, then he will never be forgotten and never truly die. Kenren uses dark embrace to extend on the meaning of the last line. He does realize that death is inevitable and ‘dark’ but that its not wholly evil and does not necessarily end your existence. When he was content with what he's done with his life then death can be an embrace. It’s time to experience life and face things head on, there is a time for death but that time is not now, it is time to be alive. The importance of remembering the past but then in the next line he switches to current tense and says he won’t forget this night. He should remember the past but live for the future. Faith is coming. Nonetheless, they're letting go of the past and moving forward in life. Their fate waiting for him, meaning opportunities in the future that he wants to chase without being dragged down by the past. Under Heaven’s command or blessing; they are dreaming under the banner of heaven, meaning their dreams are approved by and aligned with the belief of Heaven or an ultimate place of eternal happiness. Take advantage of the great aspects of life in order to open up new possibilities and leave a mark. These advantages usually come once in lifetime, so either take the choice to. Even though he will always remember the good and bad memories that he’s made throughout moments of his life, he keeps on going. He lives in the moment and always looks forward. The reason he can keep going is because he hangs on to his memories, and while he doesn’t let them drag him down, he doesn’t completely bury them either.

Delilah was overwhelmed by the swarm of monsters and managed to fight them off. She lost her balance as she struggles. Then, a bunch of more monsters and knocked out. The monsters were about to prey upon her when they all are knocked out at once. The person responsible was Sambo! "You stupid girl, do you think you could fool me that easily?" Sambo snapped. After a while; Sambo drinking his beer as he glance over at Delilah, who was still unconscious, on the sofa and Sambo put the beer on the table examine her. "Women are pretty much prude...Delilah?" He said, "Hypocrite...fallen woman...You sneaky girl. What are you really? You some harlot? A runaway girl from a screwed up family?" He start to trace her lips with his index finger gently, "...Whatever you're hiding, I'm going to find out soon enough." Sambo continued. He was grazing her cheek with his knuckles. Then he noticed the bullet hole mark on her, "What is that?" He thought. Sambo glanced at her, "Well, well, well....What a tangled web you weaved. How much lies do you have for me, Delilah?" He said, "You certainly are a gold hearted tart, aren't you?" Then, he finds the Moneta was glowing and looked at it: Long ago; Delilah is one year older than an eight year old. At nine years old, she doesn’t understand why many other kids have moms and dads when she only barely has a mother. Her father abandoned the family, and her mothers never around most likely doing obscenities and going to joints to get high. She feels like she doesn’t have anyone to talk to. The only person she has is her mom is too occupied with drugs to even take her emotions into consideration. Her mother is unstable and brings men home with her late at night after she has been partying, the relationship between the man and her mother almost always end up abusive towards not only her mother, but her also. The men her mother brings home constantly subject Delilah to unwanted abuse, easily overpowering her with their strength and size. While this abuse is occurring her mother has passed out from her excessive consumption of narcotics, leaving Delilah completely defenseless. Delilah’s trying to tell her mom about what these men have done to her, but her mom doesn’t think that she’s telling the truth. Since all kids has is her mom, and she wouldn’t listen to her, she now realizes that she’s on her own. Delilah’s life is a living hell at home because of her mother ignoring her and being raped and beaten by men. Because of this, she thinks hell is her own home! Delilah worked at a charity fair when she came across three families who helped her out. The families were The Harris Family--David, Harriett, and Dewey. The Dixon Family--Eric, Jasmine, Haverine, and Chester. And The Tavish Family--Hank, Jocelyn, Chelsea, Joey, and Howie. Dewey Harris, Chester Dixon and Howie Tavish were successful high school seniors that have plans for their futures. Their coach, Ichabod McGuffin, is the one who is helping Delilah with the charity fair. Ichabod was good to Delilah, like a friend, and Delilah knows him as well as his middle aged mother name Finella. Nice people they were and they were very dear to Delilah! But there was a day that turned for the worst. One of the teenagers slain by school shooter, name Isidore 'Izzy' Levant, was dating his ex-girlfriend, Jorene Evans. That person dating Jorene was 17 year old Dewey Harris was one of five high school students shot in a rampage at the high school by the shooter Sade. Three students--Dewey, Chester Dixon, and Howie Tavish--died from their wounds. Cato who was serving three life sentences for a notorious high school shooting spree, escaped from a prison but was later taken back into custody. The school shooter likely got up in the middle of the night before his sentencing to scrawl the word "butcher them all" across a prison T-shirt, a brazen move that shocked his attorney, victims' families and even the judge. After the convicted killer arrived in court for his sentencing hearing, he unbuttoned his blue button down shirt to reveal the T-shirt. There were gasps in the courtroom. Shortly after, Izzy spewed vile and unprintable words at the families of three students he killed and then laughed and smiled as they described him as an animal and a monster. There is a video of a black-clad, masked militant holding a knife then says the execution is in retaliation for his girlfriend's 'betrayal'. It then cuts away to show a man name Ichabod McGuffin kneeling next to a man who experts say appears to be the same militant who featured in the videos showing the deaths of two other men. In his speech, which seems to have been made under duress, the hostage says: "My name is Ichabod McGuffin. I would like to declare that I hold you, Dear Delilah, entirely responsible for my execution." The family of aid worker McGuffin who is being held hostage by the militants in a doomed world has urged his captors to contact them: "We are the family of Ichabod McGuffin. We have sent messages to you to which we have not received a reply. We are asking those holding Joe to make contact with us. We ask you to please release him and let him come home." But they took no heed and killed him, dismember his head! Delilah was shocked, she turned away but only a few tears streamed down her face. She wept for poor Ichabod, his family was also in hysterics. When Sambo saw the memories; he now know the truth about the mysterious Delilah. 


In the sunny morning of a new day; Delilah stirred and felt someone on her. She woke up slowly to see someone and could see that it was Sambo, "Morning." He greeted. Delilah looked at him and yawned while stretching, she looked around the room: "Huh? Hmm...." She said but when Delilah realized where she was, she started to freak out. "OH MY GOD!!!!!" She screamed and flustered and thrashed about violently until Sambo seized her shoulders, "Will you relax? You're gonna wake up the entire neighborhood in this complex!" He said. Delilah looked shameful, "Sorry!" She said. Then she begin to show that she was irritated, "Why did you save me? If you want to expose me as a fraude, then do it!" She demanded. Sambo looked at her, he then shook his head and responded: "No, that wouldn't be right of me to do so." "Why?" Eulalie asked, looking at him with disbelief, Sambo held up the Moneta: "Because I know...this thing showed me your past and I think you and I are almost similar. Guess we both hate psychos but unlike you, I couldn't runaway. Anything I can do for you, I'll be glad to have help out." He explained. Delilah is touched, "Thank you, I'm amazed." She admitted. Sambo shrugged, "No big." He said. Later on; she was walking to work and was almost there when Delilah heard someone crying, she peeked into an alley and saw a trio of a gang and a crying girl. "How rude! Not willing to spare a little change for a couple of hungry classmates who forgot to bring their money." said one of the gang members. "But I can't...This is...." The crying girl said. But she was slapped by the leader as he yelled: "LIAR! YOU'RE SUCH A LIAR!!!!" The girl begged, "Please! This money....I need it to buy for my mom!" Again, she was slapped by the leader. "Should we teach you to be nice, missy? The hard way? I think we should!" The gang leader said, he pulled the girl up to her feet by pulling her hair as he said, "And since it's bad as hell, we'll teach you a lesson about what happens when you lie!" Delilah saw this, looking all concerned and angry so she had to do something. Should she get the police? Whoop their asses or should she grab the girl's hand and make a run for it? She made her decision. Moments later; Deliliah was at the medical center with the girl, who's knees were bleeding but being treated. The girl was grateful for Delilah's bravery, "Thank you very much, I don't know how to express my gratitude." She said. "Oh, you're welcome! It was no trouble." Delilah replied with a smile. The girls made short conversation and Delilah left after saying goodbye. Earlier, she had to call her boss and say that she was going to be a little late. After work; Delilah was walking home when she encountered the girl again and the girl wanted to walk with her. Delilah didn't mind as she learned the girl's name was Amanda Lalo. However, Delilah had a bad day as she was walking home and has no umbrella but she didn't care if the rain poured on her. Just then, she felt as if the rain stopped and Delilah looked up to see it was Amanda holding an umbrella. "Delilah, what are you doing out here? If you stay out here for long, you'll catch a cold." She said. "The only thing I'm going to catch is my next paycheck in heaps of crap!" Amanda was concerned, she knew what she meant and comforted the tearful Delilah. "It's OK, Delilah. It's gonna be OK. I'm here if you need me." Amanda told her. Amanda was a good friend to Delilah, they begin to talk and laugh until Delilah got home to find that her place was a mess and she got mad. Life was unfair, she wanted to find the person that did this! She saw some of her precious stuff has been ripped and destroyed. People vandalized the building, her home. Delilah was upset that she sat on the steps of her house and begin to cry until she felt someone's arms wrapped around her and tears drop on her skin a little. "Amanda? What are you doing here?" Delilah asked. "I am so sorry, Lila! I am so sorry, it'll be OK. Don't worry....I knew what happened....And the police told me to come here after they caught the people that did this." Amanda said, still sobbing. Once the crying fits were over; Amanda introduced Delilah of her friends: Britannia 'Tanya' Mariano, Cullinn McClainn, Tsovinar Weatherly, and Siobhan Jarilo. Like Amanda; these girls were nice too. Delilah felt blessed to be with them, they were different from the mean girls clique!
