      I noticed it was Kate the social worker and I know there's no way of denying anything. She went on her knees and noticed I was crying. She saw Nika drunk asleep on the wall and was pissed that she decided to call the authorities to get her arrested.

"Hey wait, don't! She didn't mean it!" I shouted.

"Stan, she put you in danger! She left you in the dark city and looks at you now. Come I'll take you home." Kate said as she picked me in the back seat.

     I tried to get out but I noticed that the child locks to the doors are enabled. Kate then got in the driver seat and drove off while leaving Nika with the police. The drive was quiet and I shed some tears since I know Nika is going to jail and I was worried that I would be taken away. Kate drove up to the driveway and left me in the back seat while she went to the front door and knocked on the door.

   Natalya answered the door and lost her smile when she saw Kate.

"Hello Ms.Stormbear."

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Natalya shouted.

   "Didn't you even know that your daughter's friend Nika was underage drinking and she endangered Stan's life?! She was drunk at the bowling alley and left him unattended." Kate explains.

"WHAT?!"

"That's right. After that incident, I'm afraid Stan will have to stay with me at social services." Kate says

"Over my dead body! You don't even have a warrant on so that means you don't have the authority to take him away!" Natalya shouted with rage.

"I can get one easily. If you want to play rough? So be it! Tomorrow if I do, Stan will be taken away for someone else to take him that is responsible parents!"

      Kate then came back and opened the car door for me to get out and I headed inside without giving Natalya any eye since I was mad at her for not answering my phone calls.

"Stan?" Natalya softly called as she tried to follow me to my room.

    I was too angry that I ignored her and slammed the door. She was about to knock her since she knew that I needed some time alone. I was in my room and I pulled out the decorative knife that I used to kill the rapist and took a long stare at it since I felt guilty until Corvus kept telling me he deserves it and trying to get rid of my guilt.

"Stan, don't feel sorry, killing others makes you feel better and makes the world a better place." he explains.

After he vanished back in my body and put the knife away in my drawer and layed down in my bed and fell asleep.

the next day...

  It was Saturday, and I slept in since there was no school today. Natalya went to go to the jail to visit Nika to give her an earful of what her actions did yesterday. Nika finally woke up with a hangover and noticed she was in a cell.

"Oh, my head, what happened?"

   She got up and noticed she was in trouble and started to remember that she was drinking and forgot about me.

"Nika, you have a visitor." The anthro cop says as she unlocked the door and took her to the visitor window and saw Natalya through the glass with an angry look. She knows she is in trouble and grabs the telephone.

"Do you know why you are here?!" Natalya asked.

"Um... drinking..." Nika answers sheepishly.

"NOT JUST THAT!!! YOU LEFT STAN UNATTENDED WHILE YOU WERE UNDER AGE DRINKING AND HE COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT OR ABDUCTED." Natalya shouted.

"I'm sorry... I didn't...."

"SORRY WON'T CUT IT YOUNG LADY, SINCE SOCIAL SERVICES IS GOING TO TAKE STAN AWAY BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID ACTIONS. I WAS ABOUT TO BAIL YOU OUT, BUT I THINK IT WILL BE BETTER IF YOU STAY IN HERE TILL YOUR COURT DATE. GOODBYE NIKA." Natalya shouted as she got up and left the visiting center.

    Nika was taken back to the cell and started to cry since her guilt started to take over. She felt terrible that she made a dumb choice of underage drinking and leaving me with some creep flat out drunk.

Meanwhile...

    I didn't want to leave my room since I didn't want to talk to anyone since I was still upset with them for not calling back but they tried to tell me that they didn't know since mom kept telling me that her and Rox were asleep and Natalya didn't know her phone was on silent. I sat down in a corner and just ignored them.

    Audrey was really upset that she didn't want Kate to take me away from them so Rox tried to work things out to make an appeal to the empress to prevent it but was unavailable during the time. The doorbell rang and Audrey hesitated to open the door since she saw a cop car at the front door. I barely heard the siren of it and I was afraid that they knew I killed the creep and the mugger but I noticed it was Kate coming in.

"Ms. Keene, I'm afraid we are here to pick up Stan." Kate says as she shows them the warrant.

"No! I'm not letting you take my son away!" Audrey shouted as she blocked the way.

"Don't make this worse as it needed to be" Kate warned.

   Audrey blocked the way and Kate tried to push her but Audrey got angry and slammed Kate into the wall. They both started pulling hair and fighting nasty at each other. I heard stuff breaking and shouting that I didn't hesitate and grabbed the knife, my backpack,and climbed out the window to make a run for it.

  I kept running and running down the neighborhood and Loona saw me running and followed.

"Hey Stan, wait, what's going on?" Loona asked as she tried to catch up.

"Nothing!" I said as I kept running while I was dropping tears and sobbing a little.

"Stan, please stop!" " Loona shouted as grabbed on to me to make me stop running.

   I was crying badly and she hugged me tight to her fur.

"Please tell me, what's wrong, I'm your friend. Please." Loona asked.

"I'm running away since social services are going to take me away from my family. I can't stay here any longer. I have to go."

"Let me come with you. I can't let you go alone."

"But..."

"Please Stan, I care about you." Loona said as she held my hand.

   We both headed out of the neighborhood and past the city limits and ran far as possible. I couldn't take the pain of what I went through, everyone was mean, I killed two curries and, I don't want another family. My PTSD started to worsen and I was thinking that I should slit my wrists to end my life.
