Time makes all wounds

It never froze over

Anti smiled, he was so happy for have his needles in his hands again. He was following a pattern for a knitted throw blanket. He hummed to the tune of the old Ghostbusters show as it played, it was funny how uncanny the similarities were to that if his family.

Egon and Schneep were very alike in personality. Ray reminded him of Jackie, always happy for new experiences and activities. Peter and Marvin, ah yes, the sarcastic one. Winston was Jack, through and through, funny, fun, happy, and always ready to toss a swear in. If he had to pick someone for JJ, it would be Janine. Always in an attempt to help. And that left Chase with Slimer, Slimer gave some depressed tendencies. Eat, drink a lot, attaches to someone, when he makes a mistake he takes himself out of the pictures to prove a point. Yes, Chase was Slimer, seemingly happy, attaches to others easily, and is always the comedic relief.

He laughed when Peter stole the four-leaf clover pin from the mayor's wife, he wasn't the smartest, was he? Then, something caught his attention, Marvin failing to sneak down the hall.

"Where you off to?" He scared the magician, causing fires to sprout at Anti's feet. He yelped and yanked his feet, and his project, up on the couch from the floor.

"Marv! Turn it off!" It was too hot, sending flash backs to his brain.

"Shit, sorry." He doused the flames and Anti took deep breaths, therapy with the doctor had been helping a lott with nightmares, flashbacks, and trust issues.

"Okay, so what's the reason I almost became dinner?" He swallowed, still trying to catch his breath.

"Um, nothing. Just running an errand." He smiled, Anti smiled back and moved his project to the side.

"Can I come with-"

"No!" Marvin interrupted, making Anti flinch, he cleared his throat.

"No, um, I don't feel like getting yelled at by Schneep, ya know?" Anti was suspicious, but nodded, the magic user was up to something.

"Okay, call if you need anything."

"I probably won't, bye!" His sentence was rushed as he bolted for the door. Anti raised a brow at his actions

"Well, I'm going anyway." He mumbled as he rushed for the door. What was he up to?

He half expected Marvin to vanish with his magic, but he didn't. That told him he was going somewhere he didn't know the location of. He stayed far enough away from him so he couldn't sense what little aura he had. He almost lost him a few times.

He started to get nervous when they came to a clearing. It was in the middle of the woods, past the city. He knew this place, it made him shake in his shoes. This was above the hunter base. Why did Marvin come here? Did he want to see the hell Anti went through for himself?

Marvin stopped and cracked his neck, he sighed as he rolled his shoulders

"Let's go get it." He groaned as his eyes glowed before he vanished. Anti didn't feel safe here, he ran back to where he came. The woods were so fence and thick, but he kept going. He wanted to go home.

He finally got back to Brighton, but he wouldn't stop, he just ran. He stopped for a breather eventually, he was wasn't sure how long he had been running, but he was wiped. He screamed when a hand landed on his shoulder. Was he followed, was it a hunter?

"No! Let go! I'm not going back!"

"Anti, it's me!" A comforting embrace made him aware it was Jackie. He tried to steady his breathing as Jackie hugged him, rubbing his back and shushing him.

"Hey, it's me, you're okay. What happened, why aren't you home?" Anti swallowed as he spoke with a squeaky voice.

"I followed Marvin, he did he was running an errand. But, when I followed him, we ended up on top of the Hunter base. I ran, and ran, and ran. I was so scared Jackie, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back." He started rambling, Jackie had to silence him before he sent himself into a panic attack
