Me and Dowson walk down the stairs of the skybird. When we reach the bottom we hear a yelp from the top of the skybird. I look back up, only to see Derek rubbing his eyes, and muttering about the sun. Alex and Cody beside him laughing. He takes a step forward but ends up falling down the staircase.

When he lands at the bottom with a pout on his face, and blood coming out from his nose. Cody, and Alex are now running down the stairs, while me and Dowson hold back our laughter. "Are you okay?"

He looks up at us, and his eyes widens. "Who are you! Stranger danger, stranger danger! Help police, police!"

I crouched up to him, and look into his eyes. "Derek shut up!" He stops screaming for the police, his eyes get wider. "How do you know my name?" He screamed in my face. He then started to freak out, like I don't have time for this shit, sooo. I brought back my arm, and punched him in the jaw, but not hard, just a light tap.

He froze, and look at me. He then held his jaw and started to cry. Oh for god sakes! Dowson kneeled infront of him, and put his hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Derek do you want a cookie?" He stops crying and looks up at him with hopeful eyes. "Really?" Dowson nodded his head, and big smile on his face. "Ya, really."

He got up really fast, but then started to sway. Alex, Cody, and Dowson reach out to hold him steady. But I got there first and grabbed him arm. He looked at me with a confused face. "Do I know you? Cause you look really familiar." I laughed as we started walking. Cody on his other side. "Ya, you know me."

He looked from me to Cody, then back to me. "Why aren't we walking yet?"
Cody laughed and shook his head. "We are."

Derek shakes his head. "No. No we're not."

I laugh and look at him. "Look down at your feet. They're moving."

He looks down and gasps. "We're walking!"

I roll my eyes at his stupidness, and chuckle. Arie comes running up to us. "Guess what I learned! NH4 is ammonium, and NH3 is ammonia! And they are polyatomic ions!"

"No, it NH, pok-a-dot butterfly blue." Derek told us, with a lopsided smile.

"I don't even know what to say to that."
"I'm with you there Avey, I'm with you there." Cody says to me.

We keep on walking, with Derek is saying things that's doesn't make any sense. I don't know where we are, only that there is a couch, and that is where we put Derek. Once his head touched the pillow, he was out. With me not having to worry if Derek was going to kill himself by thinking, I look around the room. Cream coloured walls, windows that go from the ceiling to floor, plants, bright coloured furniture. A huge ass tv. It looks like a living room, or lounge area.

I turn around to ask Cody a question, but only to see that he's not there! "That little shit! Oh he's so dead, the next time I see him!" I say to myself. Well, no reason to stay here. I walk out if the room, and into the hall, which was peached coloured, and big windows. I wander around, go down some stairs, wondering where the hell I am.

I'm brought out of my thoughts when I heard sobbing. I stop walking, and close my eyes to focus better on the sound. I let my feet be my guide me. When the crying sounds closer, I open my eyes to see where the hell I am. I can either go straight, right, left, or the way I came. Well, the crying is coming from my right so, I'll go right.

I turn right, and at the end of the hall I see a person curled up in the corner. I walk towards them, making noise so they know I'm here. When I get closer, the person moves more into the corner, and curls herself up even more. I'm a few feet away, and now know that it's a she, it was the obvious choice, but I didn't want to rule anything out.

I crouch down beside her, and clear my throat. "Are you alright?" She cries harder, and her body begins to shake. I reach out to put my hand on her shoulder. "Hey, it's okay." She lifts her head up, face red, bloodshot eyes, tear stains.

She wipes her nose, before speaking. "How... do... you know?" She choked out.

"Because I just do."

"How?... He can get to me.... whenever... he wishes... It's never going to be... okay!"

When she said that, I took a good look at her. She was beautiful; silver coloured eyes; almond shaped, startling white curly hair, ivory skin toned. She looked like the Queen of Snow.

"Who ever he is, he's not going to touch you. And you know why? Because you're with me now, and you don't want to piss me off." I look her eyes as I spoke. "Am I clear?" She nods her head, and wipes her nose. Hope fills her eyes as she looks at me. "Good, now let's go and get you cleaned up."

I stand up and hold out my hand for her, she takes them and I pull her up. She takes the lead, and I'm just fine with that. After walking down a couple of halls, and turning some corners. We walk in silence, until she breaks it. "I didn't catch your name?"

"Avey, and yours?"

"Well, people call me Snow, or White. But my real name Crescent, you know like a crescent moon? But people call me Cress, or Chris, or Cressy. I'm fine with anything really, as long as it's not mean. But you could always come up with your own nickname for me, if you like. I mean it's up to you, and I'm no-" I cut her off. "Are you always so talkative?" I question.

She thinks for a moment, before shaking her head. "No, I'm normally really quiet, and shy away from other people."

I give her a doubtful look, but don't say anything. We continued to walk down the hall till she stops outside a door. "This is my room." She opens the door, and holds out her hand for me to enter.
I nod my head to her, and walk in. The lights turns on. The room was small and cozy. Plants of all colours, and sizes taking up most of the space. A twin bed was in the corner of the room with a colourful quilt, covered with small vibrant pillows varying in colour.

"Nice room." I told Cress.

She looks up from her dresser. "Really? You think so?"

"Ya, this room shows who you are. It shows your personality. I like it."
There was silence, but it wasn't awkward. "I'm going to get changed, then we'll go to the upper floors." She walks to the closed door and opened it, walks inside, then closed it.

I stood in the middle of her room, not knowing what to do. I moved to her dresser, and look at her pictures. There were three. One was of her and an older copy of her with an older man standing beside older Cress. Must be her parents. The second one was of her and a guy, he looks really happy; and even though Cress is smiling, it looks forst. The third is of her and another girl with the same white hair, but her's was straight; she also had more of a blue tint to her eyes then silver. But they had the same face, otherwise. You could tell they were related. Sisters, probably.

The door opened, and Cress steps out of the bathroom in new cloths, and not as red in the face. She turns to me and smiles. "Ready?"

I nodded my head, and walked towards the door with Cress by my side.
