~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dryden ran after Zane, “Come here, it time for yer bath!”

“Noo!” Zane ran around the couch. Luka watched as Zane ran into the room and slipped under the bed and he sighed. The smaller male was trying to crawl under after him, “I don’t want to!” He walked out of the room with rolls of paper tucked under his arm; Mark was sitting on the couch reading his book.

“Mark, are you going to help?”

Mark looked up at him and then over at Dryden trying to reach under the bed. He looked at Luka and shook his head. Luka chuckled and placed the rolls of paper on the table. Fayt had been over that day and he chuckled once again when he remembered how Dryden reacted when he found out how old he really was. The boy was small enough to be a three year old but was actually five years old.

It shocked everyone but Zane. He took it all in his own pace, play first, do other stuff later. Mark just watched them run around the living area and made sure they didn’t get hurt. Everywhere Zane went Mark was nearby to mark sure he was okay.

Luka unrolled the papers and placed weights on all of the corners, just then Dryden walked out. “Luka, can I get some help over here.” He looked over to see a soaking wet Dryden, he tried not to laugh really he did. Dryden walked up to him and gave him an evil glare, “If ya don’t get in there and help I’ll make ya suffer in the most horrible way.”

He gave a whimper and sighed, “Fine.” Dryden watched as he walked past him into the bedroom and followed him. Zane was under the covers and Luka sighed, rolling up his sleeves he pulled them down. Before Zane could bolt Luka grabbed him and picked the boy up. “Bath time.”

“No, I wanna go play.”

Luka sighed and looked him in the eyes. “You can play after your bath.”

There was a knock at the door and Luka turned, “I’ll go get it.” Dryden walked out of the room and both of the stared at each other.

“Well into the tub you go.” The small boy pushed at his arms as Luka walked into the bathroom, he sat him on the edge of the tub. Bad move, Zane kicked him in the shins and Luka grabbed his leg, “Sonva… Dryden he’s heading towards you!” Dryden appeared and grabbed Zane. He tossed him over his shoulder and turned to Liam.

“Sorry, its bath time and Zane won’t listen.”

Liam held his hands out, “Let me try something.” Dryden passed the small boy to him.

“If it gets him in the tub then you can do anything.”

Luka rubbed his abused shin and nodded, “Damn he can kick.”

Liam looked at Zane, “Okay why are you making this hard?”

“I wanna play.”

“You wanna play?”

“Yes.”

“Okay,” He sat him down.

“What are you doing?” Luka asked him, “We’re trying to get him to take a bath.”

Luka’s father held his hand up, “You can play but I’ll let you in on a little secret.” He knelt down and Zane walked forward, “If you don’t take a bath you’ll get sick and if you get sick than you can’t play.”

Zane’s eyes grew big, “R-really?”

Liam nodded, “Yep,” he patted him on the head, “these two don’t want you to get sick. So will you help them out?”

Zane turned to Dryden, “I don’t want to get sick, I’ll take the bath.” He hugged Dryden’s leg and Dryden let out a sighed.

“Why the hell did not think of that?” Luka mumbled.

The four year old ran into the bathroom, “Come on daddy I don’t wanna get sick!”

Dryden followed after Zane. Luka looked over at Liam, “I can’t wait till he figures it out.” The older man shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Luka to follow him.

When they were out at the table he pointed to the maps and blueprints, “Your new target?”

“Yeah.”

“Postpone it your coming with me and Shasa.”

“To where?” he growled.

“Don’t you growl at me, we’re going to pay our respects to Aquaria’s father.”

“Hell no!”

“Hell no, what?” Dryden asked as he walked out of the bedroom.

“Dryden would you like to see the city Luka’s mother is from and the place where Luka was born?”

He shrugged his shoulders, “Sure I just need to find someone to keep an eye on Zane and Mark.”

“Why don’t you bring them along?” Liam asked.

“After what happened I don’t want them outside the city.” Dryden said, “And if I took only Zane, Mark would follow even if I told him to stay behind.” They all looked at Mark; he was dozing in the corner on the couch now. Every now and then he would flex his left hand. The book was opened and resting on his chest.

Luka spoke up, “I’ll stay behind and watch them.”

“No, you’re coming with.”

Dryden folded his arms and stared at the wall, “I can see if Randy wants to keep an eye on them.” He was about to walk towards the door when Zane came running out, “Ack! Zane put your cloths on before ya come out of the bathroom.” Grabbing the hyper child he carried him back into the room.

“Does that happen all the time?”

“Yes it does.” Liam eyed Luka.

“You’re going or I’m not helping you out.”

“What are you talking about?” Liam held up a piece of paper, “You wouldn’t,” he watched as Liam held a lit lighter under the paper, “Okay I’ll go!”

“I knew it would work,” He handed him the folded paper, “Just sign where you need to and it’s all yours.”

“I’m going to need help with everything.”

He grew quiet when Dryden walked out with a fully clothed Zane in his arms. When he walked by Mark, Zane jumped out of his arms and landed on Mark. Mark jerked awake and glared at Zane, “Let’s play!”

He picked up Zane and dropped him on the floor, and then he rolled over showing his back to Zane.

“Pleaseeee Mark.” The small boy started to shake Mark’s arm, “Ma~rk!” Mark rolled over and looked at Zane. He yawned and closed his eyes, “Mark!” The nine year old jerked awake and clamped his hand over Zane’s mouth before the boy could talk.

Dryden sighed and picked the boy up, “Let Mark sleep.” He carried Zane from Mark and sat him at the table. “Here,” he handed him some paper and crayons, “Don’t touch Luka’s maps. I don’t need a repeat of last time.”

“Okay.”

He sat down and looked at Luka; he saw the paper, “What’s that?”

Luka folded the paper and slipped it in his back pocket, “It’s nothing, just some info for my next target.”

“Did you tell Liam?”

“Tell me what?”

“Not yet, I thought it would be better if you told him.” Dryden watched as Luka walked over and sat down, “I’m going to finish this and head to bed.”

“Kay.” Luka stared down at the maps, “I want to join our families. But it’s up to you.”

“He’ll say…” Luka mumbled to himself.

“Let me talk to Syrita about it.”

“Why would you need to do that?”

“He doesn’t do anything unless Syrita says yes.” Dryden looked at Luka then at Liam.

“That would explain it!”

“Explain what?” Luka asked.

“That you two are whipped.”

Luka’s head hit the table, “You’re supposed to knock before entering and what the hell do you mean by that!”

“Shasa!” Zane stood up on the seat and waved at her.

“Hello there little dragon.”

“How do you know?” Dryden asked.

She walked up to Zane and pointed at his arm with the mark, “This says other whys.” Shasa gave the small boy a hug. “If it was anything else you would know the first time you saw him.” Luka lifted his head.

“That’s right.” He mumbled. Zane gave a big yawn and Dryden looked out the window, “Why do you look out the window when he yawns.”

“Get a sense of time.” Dryden picked Zane up and walked over to Mark, he nudged him. “Mark, come on get up.” The boy made a sound and Dryden kept nudging him with his foot, “I’m not going to stop till you get up.”

Luka shook his head and picked up a pencil. “Does this happen all the time?” Shasa asked.

“Yes, for the past week.” Liam and Shasa looked at Luka.

“What are you doing?” Shasa was looking over his shoulder.

“What I do best?” Luka mumbled.

“Steal.”

“Yep.” He sat the pencil down and looked at her, “Do you mind?” Then he looked up and saw Liam smirking. “You are not helping! All of you!” Dryden blinked and pointed at himself. “No not you,” he pointed at Shasa and Liam. “Those two.”

Liam chuckled, “I’ll be leaving, you’re still going or I’ll take it back.” Luka gave him a scowling look and he just laughed as he left. He turned to Shasa and she grinned, her golden eye reflecting her mood.

“Leave.”

“Why should I?” Luka stood up and they both stared at each other, then Shasa grabbed Luka’s cheek, “You’re so cute when you’re mad.” She jumped back laughing as he tried to swat her hand away. Walking over to the door she waved to Dryden and left closing the door.

He glanced over at the three in the living room while he rubbed his sore cheek. “What?”

“That was very different.” Dryden said to him. He pulled a sleepy Mark off the couch and placed Zane in his arms, “Let me pull the bed out before ya fall asleep again.” Mark gave a tired nod and sat in the chair. It looked like he was trying to stay awake but both boys fell asleep in the chair. When Dryden had the bed pulled out and made he turned to find both of them asleep. He picked up Zane and was about to try and wake Mark again when Luka took Zane from his arms.

“I’ll take care of Zane.”

Dryden smiled and Luka quickly kissed him, “I’ll be right there.” Luka walked into the bedroom and Dryden watched he shook his head. “Put Mark in bed.” He picked Mark up and stopped, the boy was warmer than normal. Laying the boy down, he pulled the blankets over him. He quickly placed his hand on Mark’s forehead, “Why are you burning up?” Dryden turned the lights off and walked into the room; he pulled his shirt off and climbed into bed. He found Zane and pulled the small body close to him. The bathroom door opened, “Luka.”

“Yeah?”

“Are ya finished out there?”

He felt the bed move and a hand ran through his hair, “Why are you asking?”

“Can ya stay till I fall asleep?”

“Sure. I’ll make sure I’m here when you wake.”

“Mmmkay.” Dryden felt his eyes grow heavy. “Luka?”

“What is it?”

“Do you ever wonder if this is all a dream and that you’ll wake up to find it all gone?” Luka stopped and looked down at him; he was looking up at him. His amethyst eyes seemed to still glow in the dark room.

“If this is a dream I hope I never wake up.”

“But what if you do or what if I do and I’m back there in that small room?”

Luka lay down next to him and wrapped his arms around both of them, “Then I’ll come find you.” Dryden placed his hand on Luka’s arm and closed his eyes. It was warm.

“I’m glad I met you.” Luka smiled and kissed the back of Dryden’s neck.

“Get some sleep.”

“Night.” It was a small whisper and he let his eyes slide close. If this was a dream he definitely never wanted to wake up.
^^^

Luka glared at the back of Shasa’s head. “Luka, I know you’re glaring.”

Dryden smiled and he looked back at Luka, he looked very uncomfortable. “Luka, it’s not going to be that bad.” He was sitting down watching them as they put saddles and travel packs on the horses.

He grumbled as he tightened the saddle. Liam chuckled and shook his head, “You should be the bigger man. It is only a memorial for the old man. At least show your respect.”

Luka gave him a dark look, “The bastard’s dead and he’s still tormenting me. Putting him in the dirt does not require me being there.” Dryden smiled and shook his head. His hand was running over the silver anklet, he knew Luka would rather look for the target than go to his grandfather’s funeral.

“Luka we don’t bury the dead,” Shasa said. “We place them in waterproof coffins and they sit on the ground off the ocean.”

“Really?” Dryden had sat up more when he heard this.

“Yeah we do. Luka keeps forgetting that the main city is underwater.”

“Then how do we get there?”

“Don’t worry there’s a way for you to get underwater.” She looked over at him, “Don’t you have a horse?”

“I don’t have one.”

Luka spoke up, “He doesn’t like horses.”

“And they don’t like me.” Braith snorted and nipped at Dryden’s head, he jerked away and glare at Luka. He laughed and patted Braith.

“Come on Braith stop picking on Dryden.”

“I’ll be outside with Demi, where the horse will leave me alone.” Dryden walked out and pulled out a dog whistle he looked at it. ‘Will not turn out good.’ He placed it back in his pocket. Putting two fingers in his mouth he gave a high pitch whistle. Demi was soon running up the dart road he slid to a stop and gave Dryden a wet lick. “Okay Demi.”

~Dryden!~

“Hey.” He rubbed Demi’s leg and then he sat on his paw. “Let’s see we’re going to need food.” Dryden looked up at him, “Want to go see Aiden, I heard he’s still trying to get cobwebs out of his hair.”

“Ha ha very funny Dryden.” He turned to find Aiden standing with a bag over his shoulder.

“I’m not the one who got lost.”

Aiden stuck his tongue out, “Luka you take anything out of the bag and I’ll kick your ass.”

“Damn it how do you do it?” Luka stood up and pouted. “I’m hungry!”

“Go find your own damn food.”

Dryden looked up at the sky as the two walked into the stable, ~Why doesn’t he get his own food?~

“I don’t know.” He stood up when Zachariah walked up, “Ya found them?”

“Yeah they were in a box,” He handed him a pack. “You still know how to use this?”

“Yeah.” Dryden took the bag from him and looked at Demi. “Can ya lay down for me?” Demi laid down and Dryden climbed onto his back, he grabbed a rope that was tied on the pack and tied it around Demi’s neck. The pack was made to lay on the wolf’s back like a blanket, with both packs hanging down on both sides. “Up.” The wolf stood up and taking another rope he hung it off the side and Zachariah grabbed it. Then taking the other end of the rope, he jumped down and took the other end from his brother. He tied it together and climbed out from under the wolf. “So?”

Zachariah walked around and tugged here and there, “Anything feel out of place, Demi?”

The wolf shook his head and laid down. Dryden rubbed the back of his ear, “See told ya.” Demi lifted his head up and looked over at Luka. He gave a low growl. Luka took a step back and looked at Dryden.

“Do you have to take him?”

“Yes. When are we leaving?”

“In an hour.”

“That’s good.” Dryden walked over and hugged Luka, “I’m going to run over to Randy’s to say bye to Zane.”

Luka wrapped his arms around Dryden and smiled, “How many times are you going to say bye.”

He stuck his tongue out, “As many as I want.”

There was a cough and they both looked to the side. Zachariah was looking off to the side and Dryden grinned. “I’ll tell him you said bye, you four should leave before it starts raining again.”

Liam led his horse out, “He’s right we should leave as soon as we’re ready.”

Sighing Luka let go of Dryden and walked over to Braith, “I can’t believe I’m going.” Dryden quickly climbed up and sat on Demi’s back, as Shasa came out of the stable on her horse’s back.

“Quit complaining Luka.”

He gave her a dark look.

Aiden walked over to Demi and tossed a pack up to Dryden, “There’s enough in there for you and only you.” He looked over at Luka, “Don’t give him any.”

Dryden grinned and shouldered the pack. “Don’t worry.” He patted Demi on the back of his head, “Let’s go Demi.”

Aiden stood back and watched as they left, “Two days out and two days back.” He pulled his hat off and rubbed the back of his head. “Damn I’m tired.” Putting his hat back on, he walked back towards the city.
^^^^^

Dryden yawned and laid back on Demi’s back, “Dryden.” He looked over to see Luka looking up at him.

“What is it?”

“You okay?”

“For the hundredth time I’m fine.” He let out another yawn and Luka shook his head. “I’m fine just tired.”

Liam and Shasa were up in the front talking to each other as Luka and Dryden strayed behind them. The small male stretched out and stared up at the sky it was clear, so that meant summer was almost over. Then came fall and then winter, he grinned. He loved winter, snow was fun he could throw it at people.

His eyes drifted shut and he soon was dozing.

Luka glanced up to see Dryden’s hand hanging down Demi’s side. He smiled and nudged Braith to move forward. Once he was closer to Shasa he asked, “How much longer?”

“We should be there soon.”

“Dryden is out like a light,” he rolled his shoulders, “he needs a little sleep.”

“Well in a few months he’ll be having a child, and napping is common.”

“I know but I’m not use to him sleeping so much.”

She laughed and shook her head, looking around Shasa grinned, “After this hill we should see the ocean.”

“Dryden!”

Said person sat up and yawned, “Whazit?” He rubbed at his eyes and looked around, Luka had slowed down and looked up at him, “Hey Luka.”

“Come on wake up and look out in front of you.” Dryden sat up more and leaned on Demi’s head. He blinked and watched as the woods parted.

“Wow…”The Ocean stretched out in front of them as they walked out onto a cliff, “cooool!” he jumped down on the ground and ran to the edge, “Is it safe to jump?”

Luka winced, “Please don’t.”

Dryden looked around as a slight sea breeze blew through his hair. “Wow…” He took a deep breath; he could smell the salty ocean breeze. “It smells different.” Just then he spotted a beach, “What’s that?”

“That would be a beach.” Shasa said with a giggle.

“No coming out of the water.” They all looked and a dome like object broke the surface of the water.

“Ah, that’s our ride!” She quickly rode down a path that led down the face of the cliff. Dryden climbed up onto Demi’s back.

“Take it easy, remember the cliff back at home?”

~I’ll be careful, hold on Dryden!~ He jumped over the edge.

Luka glanced over the edge and gave a sigh of relief when he saw Dryden and Demi at the bottom in one piece. “Damn it I swear he’s trying to scare me to death.”

Liam rode past him and down the path, “Come on Luka.”

“I’m coming, I’m coming.”

They made it down the cliff path which as carved out of the cliff face, wide enough for a horse to get down but too small for Demi. So Demi jumped, hopped, and climbed down from flat surface to flat surface. Once he was at the bottom he ran over to where the dome had come up out of the water.

Shasa rode up next to him and climbed off her horse. Dryden jumped down and he saw off to the side a small house, a man came out and talked to Shasa. She turned and pointed at Demi and then at Luka and Liam as they walked up with the horses following. Luka walked over to Dryden and looked at him, “You two make it a practice to scare me don’t you?”

“Maybe.” Dryden turned to him and smiled just as Shasa walked back to them.

“Demi might have a little trouble.”

“What do ya mean by that?”

“That stables are too small for Demi. So he might have to sleep in the woods.”

The small male turned to Demi, “He could stay with us.” They all looked at him.

“Um… Dryden he’s a little bit too big for the transport.” Luka said as he pointed at him. Dryden looked at Demi, who nodded his head and Dryden took the pack off of him. He shook his body and stretched out. Sitting down his form shifted and a boy the same size as Mark sat in front of them.

“This is how Demi sleeps in the stables.” Demi’s long white hair was hanging in his face, under the black tipped bangs you could see icy blue eyes. Two white dog ears, with black tips, sat on his head twitching. Dryden dug through his bags as Luka took his jacket off and placed it around Demi’s naked body.

“So you can stay warm.” He looked at Dryden and pointed at Luka.

The blue haired male turned and saw Demi. “He’s being nice so you have to be nice.” He pulled out a baggy blue and gray shirt and black bike shorts. Then he pulled out a pair of blue sandals and placed them down, he reached in one more time and pulled out a necklace with a whistle. Turning he looked over at Shasa, when Demi made a sound. “Shasa is there a place he can go to change?”

“Hold on.” She ran over to the stable hand and talked to him, the man nodded and pointed to the stables behind him. Turning she waved her arms, Dryden picked the cloths up and Demi ran after him as he walked over to Shasa. The stable hand led them to the stable and Liam led the horses to the stable. Shasa walked over to Luka, “I’m surprised that you didn’t follow.”

“Why would I follow?”

“You kept acting like he was going to get hurt.”

“No I did not.”

“Yes you did.”

“You’re imagining things.” He said as he looked to the side.

Dryden and Demi walked up to see Luka and Shasa arguing again. “What is with ya two? Yer always fightin’.”

The two looked at him, Shasa looked at Demi. He had on the baggy blue sleeved and gray shirt that went half way down his thighs and a pair of black bike shorts that stopped at his knees. The dark blue sandals wrapped around his ankles and feet. The whistle hung around his neck. “Now that fits you.” Dryden tossed Luka his jacket and he held it in his hand.

Demi looked away and mumbled something in a different language. He turned around and showed his back, Dryden quickly pushed him towards the underwater transport, “Come on time to get in.”

When Demi saw the water he slipped out of Dryden’s hands and hid behind him. “What’s wrong with him?” Shasa asked.

“Large bodies of water bother him.” He started to pull him along. “Time to go.” They got up to the underwater transport when Liam showed up. Dryden pulled Demi in and Luka, with his pack on his shoulder, followed along with Shasa and then Liam with everyone’s bags.

The underwater transport was covered by a glass dome, a seat in the shape of a U wrapped around the inside of the vehicle. The seat was a dark blue color and was soft. Once they were in and seated, a hatch opened up.

“Hello Shasa, want me to tell him you’re here?” It was a small person if he was standing he would be two inches taller than Dryden. He had short brown hair that was covered by a knit cap with parts hanging down on the side of his face and goggles sat on top of his head, he also had golden eyes. His shirt was a dark green with wings and his shorts were camo cargos. His skin was pale color with a slight blue tint.

“Please, Nicolas.” She smiled at him.

He glanced around and his eyes landed on Luka, “I’ll tell the boss you’ve brought guest. How’s it doing Luka?”

“And how do you know me?” Shasa elbowed him in the gut and he winced in pain.

“Anyone who can break the assholes jaw is a friend of mine. Call me Nico.” He held his hand out and Luka took it in his hand. “It’s great to meet you.”

“Same.”

“What about the others?”

Luka pointed to Dryden first, “That’s Dryden, his friend Demi, and my father Liam.”

“Well I can see that.” HE looked at Dryden, “What are you?”

“Dragconian.”

“Sweet,” He disappeared and there was a sound from below. Demi slowly walked over and peeked down into the room. Nico appeared and he fell backwards onto his butt, Luka snickered. “Ha-ha sorry about that.” He flipped through a book and turning it upside down he pointed, “These people were the first ones here.” Dryden crouched down and read the spot he pointed at.

“Wow,” He turned and looked at Luka, “The last ones here were my family.”

“Nicolas can I see?” He handed the book to Shasa, “That was a week before Luka was born. Your brother always caused trouble, but then again I always joined in on the fun.”

“Which one?”

“The older one.”

“Yep that would be him.” He looked at Nico, “What are you doing out here?”

“That ass hole that Luka right hooked is my boss, so when he heard that Luka might be coming he passed it to me.” He rested his elbow of the floor and placed his chin in his hand. “So let’s piss him off, if it’s okay with the old man.”

Liam made a sound, “Who are you calling old?”

Luka sat forward, “How do we do that?”

“Scenic route or the normal route?”

“The longest route.” Shasa and Luka said at the same time and then Shasa added, “So that Dryden and Demi can take a look at the underwater world.”

“Aye aye.” H e climbed out of the hatch and pulled the door closed, it seemed to disappear as it became one with glass. Nico quickly sealed the door and disappeared back into the hatch. They watched as the vehicle slowly went underwater. Demi stayed close to Dryden as it moved and the water slowly moved over till they were covered.

“Relax Demi.”

“Nein!(1)” He shivered and then jumped when a hand was placed on his shoulder.

“Sorry,” Nico glanced over at Dryden, “Is he alright?”

“He’s just not use to large bodies of water.”

Demi growled. “Water evil!”

“Hey he talks our language!”

Demi glared at Luka, “Arsch!(2)”

“He just called me something didn’t he?”

Dryden sighed as he sat down on the seat, he glanced out to see that they were on a track. The vehicle turned and he saw some people swimming around, a couple of them waved at the vehicle as it moved by. Nico sat there pointing out different things, there was a building off to one side that had food growing inside, and he all so pointed out how most of the food was ocean fish and other swimmies, which is what he called the smaller sea animals. “You should check out the other things you can do.”

When they finally got to the city, Luka was napping with his head resting on Dryden’s shoulder, Demi was sitting in the lower area with Nico as he showed what button did what, Shasa was reading a book and Liam was working on his elegy for the dead man. Dryden was waving to a group of kids standing outside a much larger dome. When they got inside he could see a city and people walking around. Here and there he could also see people walking through walls of water. The city was huge, he turned to Shasa, “How many live here?”

She put her finger to her lips and thought about it, “Almost six hundred thousand people.”

“That’s a lot larger than the Hidden City.” Liam said to Dryden.

“Holy shit.” He looked at the overview of the city as they moved towards a tall building in the center of the city.

“That building is keeping us dry.” Shasa said, Dryden moved to the other side of the vehicle to get a better look of the tower. This caused the sleeping Luka to lean and hit the window.

“Ouch.” He held his head and looked to find Dryden looking out the window. “Welcome to Oceana City. The main city.” He mumbled to himself, Dryden looked back to see Luka looking out the window with an indeterminate expression.

He looked back to see the tower coming closer, ‘Why do I have a bad feeling about this?’
^^^^^^

Mark tossed in the bed as he tried to sleep. The voice was getting louder by the day, and it was getting harder to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes all he could see, was his father leaving and than a figure hanging from the rafters of his old home. He sat up and wrapped his arms around himself. The memories had gotten worse all so. His father died fighting and his mother killed herself. Mark ran his fingers over the silver cross around his neck, without thinking they brushed over his neck and he stopped. The fabric of the black sleeveless turtle neck was ruff against his fingers and he pulled his hand away.

Everything was getting worse. He covered his ears as the voice came back, he didn’t want to be like the others. He wanted to stay sane. When the voice disappeared he sniffed and wiped at his eyes, he should have died that day. It would have been better than going crazy, because of that everyone treated him like a ticking time bomb.

Wrapping up in the blanket he stared at the wall. Tonight will be the same as the rest, he should have never entered that room.
