I had only been asleep for about an hour. Jen said my legs were asleep, and that's why they were all tingly. She had to cart me downstairs. I sat a chair in front of the couch, and jen and her brother sat on the couch staring at me. Jen had helped me rinse the pink stuff out of my hair, so that was good.

"Ok, Lil bro, I can explain-" Jen started.

"You don't have to." Her brother said. Jen took a sip of water. "I bet I know what this is. She's either your daughter or lover right?" He said.

Jen spit out and choked on the water. "What?! How could you even think that?! Sicko!!"

"Well its true right!?" He yelled.

I didn't like yelling. I closed my eyes and plugged my ears, like Yuki told me to do so sometimes. I hummed my song.

Someone grabbed my shoulder harshly. I tensed up and prepared to be kicked, like in the facility. For a moment it was as if I had never left, and was going to be punished for not speaking at my apeach therapy. But I opened my eyes and I was back at Jens.

"What was that? Do you beat her?" Lil Bro asked.

"No! She's neither of those things!" Jen said fiercely. "Angel what's wrong?" She said to me.

I brought my knees up to my chest and hugged them. "He seems just like the scary mans at the facility.... I couldn't talk... So they kicked me until everything was black..." I said shakily. I glanced at Lil bro. "I want to go back with Yuki....." I said, tears forming at my eyes. "But she's gone..." I sniffeled.

"I'm sure your friend will come back soon!" Jen said, putting her hand on my head.

"Angel.... I'm sorry. Yuki's coming right now! I've been watching you. When you played in the snow, that was real cute." A voice said.

"Calcifer?" I said. I saw him floating above the couch. "Calcifer!" I said happily. I jumped up to hug him, but I went through him and landed on the couch. "Oh..." I said, recovering from my face plant. "I forgot your a ghost..."

"That's fine. I be human later, k?" He said. I nodded. Jen poked me.

"Oh right! Humans can't see ghosts!" I said, looking at jen.

"Please dial down the crazy in front of him..." Jen said.

I looked back at Lil bro. I was afraid again. "Why are you here. Jenifer! No talking! Only Blondie can talk." He looked at me strongly. "Tell me why your here. And what you've done."

I gulped. "Um... I'm here because my head hurted. And now its better. I went shopping and played in the snow, ate soup, took a bath, and jen found out my secret..." I said. That was all that happend.

"What secret? Tell me." He demanded.

"No!" I screached.

He looked surprised at my reaction "Tell me now." He said.

"But Yuki said if I tell anyone then they'll make me go back to the facility, or they'll die!!" I gasped. "Jen! That means you'll die!"

"Don't press her! I said she could stay at my place cuz she had a bad I injury! She's fine now, and her friend will pick her up any minute now!" Jen said. "Why do you always jump to such high conclusions?!"

The door knocked. Calcifer rushed to it. Yuki appeared at the window. She gave Jen a suspicious look, and opens the window. The curtains blocked her veiw of Lil bro. "Hey Angel, your better right? I told Alice we'd met her at the mall. You'll love the mall. It has so much stuff and-" after she had climbed in and shut the window, she saw Lil bro. She froze. She saw him standing above me.

In a flash, Yuki had pinned Lil bro on the floor and held a knife to his throat. "Angel who is this. Did he hurt you?"

"No!" I said. "He just scared me a little. His name is Lil bro! He's Jens little brother! And he said I'm Jens daughter and lover. What are those?"

"No your not! Those were my brothers random accusations!" Jen said.

Yuik got off Lil bro and put her knife away. She doubled over laughing. "Yes Angel!" She said when she recovered. "His name most certainly is 'lil bro'! Pppfffttt hahahahahaha!!!"

"What is going on here!!?!" Lil bro yelled.

Yuki gave him a cold look, and hit his head. He fell to the floor, asleep. "I knocked him out." She said simply. "He shouldn't remember any of this."

"Yuki!! Jen know my secret!! She's not gonna tell, so she's gonna die!! I don't want jen to die!!" I said, tugging on Yuki's arm.

"What? Crap!! You!" Yuki pointed at jen.

"M-me?" Jen said.

"Do not ever mention us to anyone, or they will find you and Kill you!! That being said, thank you so much for taking care of Angel! Here." Yuki handed jen a green pieces of paper. "I have no idea where cal got that, but hey, its money." Yuki took my hand. "Let's go Angel." As yuki pulled me out of the house, I plucked one of my feathers. I let it go and it floated into Jens hands. She looked sad to see me go.

Jen got up and ran to me, holding the feather. She hugged me, and turned around. A tear dropped off her face...... "Naahh... By kid..." She said. I gave her a smile and yuki pulled me away.

Why did everyone I spend time with cry when I left...?

******

The mall!!!! The mall was so wonderful!!!!! Colors and shiny and sparkley everywhere!!! so many lights!! I ran from yuki and into a room, it was filled with cages and animals in them! It was sad to see them in cages. I wanted to let them out. But I saw these weird flimsy things. They were so cool!! I stared at them untill yuki dragged me away from them, saying the day we get a fish is the day she gets a nose piercing.

I ran off again to look at shiny necklaces. Yuki dragged me from those to.... We sat on a bench. Alice was there, and yuki talked to her, she wouldn't let go of my hand. hey, how have you been? Your foreheads better now right? I herd her say.

I looked at her "Mm-hmm! Its all better now! Jen said I have super heal powers! I wonder what that is...." I looked at another room. It said B A N K in shiny letters! Yuki let my hand go, so I went to it. I went inside, and over to a lighted up thing. I presses lots of buttons! I had never pressed bottoms before!

Alice came over and put her hand on my shoulder. "Angel, why don't we go somewhere else..." She said. I stopped pressing buttons and nodded.

As we walked back to the door to leave, 5 people in masks burst in and yelled "EVERYONE ON THE FLOOR!! THIS IS A ROBBERY!"

.......What's a robbery?
