The Runaway - Scott McCall [On Hold]

"Morning brother, niece." Finn says to the two teens who slowly walk down the stairs getting ready to leave for school.

"Morning Finn." Henrik replies.

"Morning Finny, ooh coffee." she says reaching over to take his coffee and finish it.

"Oh dont worry Mer, it's not as if I was about to drink that myself or anything" He tells he sarcastically as Henrik laughs at them both while getting out their cereal.

"Well that's good, I would hate to think that I would have inconvenienced you." She said smiling innocently going to get her cereal from Henrik and more coffee for them all.

"You know what when I was brought back from the other side, I did not think that I would be playing baby sitter for my brother and niece." Finn says thinking through what happened.

"Surprise Finn, and to be fair she did give us both a choice and we could go if we wanted to." Henrik responded him defending the niece who saved him.

"Exactly so all in all you should be thanking me, I gave you the human life that you always wanted." she says smiling at him while sitting on the counter eating her cereal.

"I know Mer and for that I will be forever thankful to you my favourite niece."

"Yes because you tried to kill my sister, I mean I don't blame you she's a bitch but obviously i'm your favourite."

"My niece, forever humble..." Henrik began, "always nice to her sister..." Finn continued, "and still needing more coffee so I wouldn't say anything either of you will regret." Mercy finished walking over to the coffee that just finished and drinking it straight away as both of her uncles watched her in amusement.

As Mercy and Henrik were walking to their lockers they saw Allison with a strawberry blonde girl they have never seen before at the doors looking uncomfortable.

"Ally hey." Mercy and Henrik both said then gave looks of confusion to eachother wondering how they managed to start talking at the same time.

"Hey guys, this is Lydia the other friend I was talking to you guys about the other day."

"Oh my God you are gorgeous," she began then looked at Henrik asking "can we keep her?"

"My God Cece, she is a person, you can't just say things like that." Henrik replied.

"No, she is our new best friend along with Ally here." she said with an innocent smile as she looked between the three, Lydia looked confused while Henrik looked embarrassed by his niece and Allison was watching in amusement.

"Is this what it felt like when I said that to you?" Lydia asked to Allison as she replied with a small nod of her head, "Okay you know what lets do this. Cece right? My god I love your dress."

As Mercy and Lydia began talking as they linked arms with eachother leaving Henrik and Allison to walk behind them watching in amusement knowing that they are the same people.

A Henrik and Mercy where watching lacrosse practice they saw the sheriff and two deputies coming across the field as Mercy tried to listen into their conversation.

"Your father's body was found last night in his car. I'm terribly sorry. And as hard as this is, we unfortunately need to ask you some difficult questions."  The Sheriff said to the boy they were talking to.

"That guys dad was killed," Mercy said to Henrik continuing to listen in "they think he was murdered."

"Poor kid, I mean that must be hard for him."
