"Oh my god, let me take a look at your cuts." Anastasia demanded from Drako.

"No, its okay. Seriously," he said.

"Come on you crack head. I still need to return you a favor, and these need some taking care of," Anastasia said. 

"Fine," Drako murmured.

Anastasia took care of the worst wounds. First she got out the disinfectant spray, and sprayed it all around the cuts. Then she took some cotton swabs, and started dabbing the exes fluid from the wounds. Once that step got completed, Anastasia put one some cream on the wounds. For the wounds she put a bandage to keep any bacteria from the wounds.

"Done," Anastasia said. She was completed with her job as being a nurse.

"You look adorable when you are worried," Drako told her.

"Oh stop it, Crack head." Anastasia said. She punched him into the arm that was in a sling. 

"Ow. That hurt." Drako said. He was giggling and holding his hand that was in a sling. Drako did not want that she punched him again into the arm. 

"Go to bed, Crack head." She said.

Anastasia left the room, and turned the light off. With the flick of the switch the lights where off. She shut the door quietly. Anastasia walked toward the kitchen, she knew that the small flames where probably still there and some food to make for herself. Her stomach was rumbling so much. Today was a long day without any food.   

She finally after a walk that felt like it took for ages, she arrived at the kitchen. In the kitchen she saw the little colorful flames restocking fruits, vegetables, and more ingredients for cooking. Some of the flames where cleaning clean plates that where still a bit dirty. The whole kitchen was busy, flames at every station you could think of. Anastasia walked up to the massive fridge that stood to one wall. Anastasia tried to open the fridge with a normal tug, but it still did not work. Next, she tried to use both hands. She gave it a big tug. It did even budge a single millimeter. Anastasia heard some shuffling and some squeaking behind her. Anastasia did a 180⁰ turn on her heels. Anastasia caught her self looking at the purple flame that she had in her hand a few hours before. 

"Ummm, so like... I feel weird talking to a flame, but..." Anastasia told the flame. "Can you umm... " Anastasia asked the flame. The flame tilted it's self. It looked as if it was confused. "Helpmeopenthefridgedoor!" Anastasia sped said.

As if the flame understood her, it jumped onto the fridge handle and squeaked something. Magically with no effort the fridge door opened, and Anastasia saw the best looking foods in there. All she was searching for was a pack of ramen noodles. She searched through the whole fridge, she took some things out. But nothing in the fridge.

"Sorry to ask again, but does Drako have any ramen noodles stocked?" Anastasia asked the small flame again.

The flame responded with a small nod. Or something that looked like a nod. Then turned around and started to run to the pantry.

Off course it would be there. Why did I not think about that! How stupid can a person be?

Once Anastasia could catch up to the little flame and get a breather, it started jumping as if it need to get up to area in the pantry. So, Anastasia cupped her hands hand squatted down to give the flame a lift. Happily and with acceptance, the flame jumped on her hand and then with out even knowing it was running up Anastasia's arms. With in seconds it was on her shoulder. Once Anastasia notice that the flame was on her shoulder it jumped onto the second story or the pantry, and started running against a packet. Anastasia guessed that it was the ramen packet that she asked for. Anastasia grabbed it, and pulled it out. The packet actually said Spicy Beef Ramen. The good thing about this was that Anastasia liked beef only in ramen, and spicy things.

"Thanks... Um what is your name?" Anastasia asked the purple flame.The flame light up a bit, and started to walk her name into the wooden plank.

Lila

"Thanks, Lila." Anastasia told the small flame. 

Anastasia put her hand on the plank to feel the engraving, all at once Lila jumped on to Anastasia's hand. She ran up her hand and sat down on Anastasia's shoulder. Anastasia did not even notice that Lila was on her shoulder. Anastasia just continued to walk. She was looking for a bowel to put her ramen in. With a quick glance she saw that a clean bowel was right next to the sink. Anastasia walked up to bowel and opened the packet of ramen. She placed the ramen noodle in the bowel. The ramen noodles sat in the bowel in a awkward position. Anastasia dug for the flavoring packets. After digging for a few seconds she found the flavoring packets. She ripped one open, and poured it into the bowel. Then she put some hot water on top of the noodles and the first flavoring packet. After a few minutes the noodles became soft, also the flavoring packet turned the water a redish color.  Then she ripped open the other two packets and poured them into the bowel. Lila was watching her the whole time in disgust. Anastasia grabbed a pair of chopsticks and went to her favorite corner that looked down on the whole city. 

Anastasia sat down and started to eat her noodles. Once Anastasia started to eat her noodles, Lila jumped down from Anastasia's shoulder. 

"Hi, Lila." Anastasia mumbled. She had some of the noodles still in her mouth. 

Unexpectedly Anastasia noticed out of the corner of her eye that there where people marching up the mountain and something big was leading them. The more they got closer the more Anastasia noticed. She saw the big thing that was leading them was a Chimera. A greek greek creature that has the body of a lion, horns of a goat, and the tail is half of a snake + head. And on top of that creature sat The Boss in full black armor. 

Anastasia dropped her bowel. It landed on the floor with a crash. The big crash scared Lila so much that the little flame jumped onto Anastasia's shoulder. Anastasia ran to Drako's bed room. 

She ran so fast that she just ran through the door. There stood Drako, no cuts and completely covered in armor. 

"It's time." He said. Anastasia nodded.
