Chapter 2

Your POV

Me, Max, and Lilly continue on our quest to find my brother. I wonder
what Max's story is. Like what even happened to him, why was he tied
up when we found him? Poor kid...
I feel sympathy for the kid, really...

He seems to notice this because he gives me a small smile, as if he's grateful that
I even care. It's almost like he's never been loved before... He... reminds me of something, but I just can't place it. He's just so gentle and sweet. So innocent.

I pat his head, and he flinched. I take
my hand away, confused. It was such
a simple gesture, yet he flinched. I look at him, not understanding why he flinched. He looked scared. Poor guy...
I just give him a hug, not knowing what else to even do in this situation, at all.

"....You ok? I didn't mean to make you flinch."

"I'm ok... I just didn't expect... affection..."

"..."

That one word... affection... What did
he mean? I hug him tighter, not enough to hurt, though... I just cry a the mere thought of him being unloved. He was just so sweet. He didn't deserve that.
I hope that's not what he meant, but it probably is. What has he gone through?

The sun was setting, and it would be dark soon. We've been searching for a week now. We made a makeshift camp, like we usually do. But then... strange things started to happen. Me and Lilly were gathering firewood, while Max kept watch for anything strange back
at camp. We agreed I should go ahead.

We decided to do this just to make sure everything was safe. What I saw stopped me dead in my tracks. Three imps. They looked furious. One of them looked at me. For a few seconds, we just stood there, staring at each other. Then, I ran.

"Oh, no you don't!"

The biggest one said, and grabbed me before I could get away. He glared. I glared back at him. This only made him even more angry than he already was.
He didn't let go of me, just held tightly.
His grip was so tight it almost hurt.

"Sir, what should we do with her? We can't risk her telling anyone about us."

"Well, Moxxie, we might have to
bring her along. Make sure she'll
keep her mouth shut about us."

"Blitzø, maybe we should just ask her?"

"*sigh* Ok, Millie. Kid, will you tell anyone about us?"

"Uh- maybe..."

The biggest one, Blitzø, just sighed, and picked me up. He started walking, and the others followed behind. I was scared.
I'm getting kidnapped by imps! I was about to yell, but the smaller male imp, Moxxie, gave me a warning look.

Soon, our makeshift camp came into veiw. I saw Max... he looked at me, terrified. Moxxie picked him up.
Then, Lily came into veiw. She froze.
She looked at me and Max. She looked
at us apologetically, and then ran, disappearing out of view.

She... just left us. Abandoned us. To be kidnapped! By literal imps! I thought
she cared about me. Guess I was wrong.
Was our friendship all a lie? Just a joke to her!? I couldn't believe that she did that. All I could do was cry, so I did.

-

Later, all five of us arrived at I.M.P. headquarters. Inside, a wolf demon
was waiting. She was on her phone,
and when we came in, she looked at
us. She looked at me, slightly annoyed.
She looked like she didn't want me here.

"Why did you guys bring the teenage girl?"

"Um, it was because I found out about them..."

"Really!? That's why!?"

I nod. This seems to make her angry. Why, I don't really know. She doesn't seem to be mad at me. She glares at
the imps. Mostly Blitzø. She folds her arms. Her ears are down, and she lets out a low growl. Clearly unhappy.
