Tyler shot up and out the door. I try to follow him but Josh kept me down on the chair. He shook his head at me indicating that I shouldn't move. I heard a lot of shouting and blaster shots. Then Tyler came running back in, slamming the door behind him.

"Josh, escape B!" He shouted grabbing my arm, dragging me to the wall of the shack. Josh stood and grabbed some things off the table. Tyler tossed me my blaster, before spinning around and breaking the window.

"What the hell is going on?" I snap. Tyler motioned for me to be quiet and grabbed my arm. He yanked me out the window, pushing me forward. I furrowed my eye brows angrily. I was not letting Ghoul get away from me.

"I am not leaving him." I say spinning around to meet Tyler

Tyler smirked "Well you don't have a choice. It's his job to protect you now go! You'll see him again" He stepped out the window and helped Josh out. I groaned but followed them as they lead me away from the shack. I glanced over my shoulder and watched as the shack was surrounded by BLI cars. Then, in the glint of the sun I saw him, Korse.

I started to panic. Not now, Rachel, you have to focus. I turned away and sped up to keep up with Josh. He looked over at me and shot me a smile. But, in his eyes I saw how worried he was for them. Korse didn't know that the Killjoy's were alive. If he found out about Fun Ghoul, then he would look for the rest of them. Then, he would take them away from me.

I shook my head trying to shake the thought. Not again, he'll be okay, he always is. Looked ahead at where Tyler was leading us. It looked like an abandoned town. When the normalcy there were three ways. It was slow at first, the Vixen's they called them, a group of women lead by Courtney Love. That's where Patrick, Pete, Joe and Andy, came in., they called their selves Fall Out Boy. They defeated the Vixons. Then the Blurryface, the discord that followed that. Blurryface was a monster created in secret by a genius. It was made to help music but instead created chaos. Some people called it the scarecrow. But, it was taken down... I don't know by whom. Then there was the Killjoys. They were the last attempted at stopping the normalcy as it was just beginning. They slowed it but it didn't stop it. Now, BLI was at large. The group of survivors back at the base were all that's left. From the looks of it, this town hasn't had any inhabitants since the first wave.

"What is this place?" I asked as we approached.

"It's called Slowtown... Courtney used it as a headquarters during the Vixsons. It's been abandoned ever since." Tyler explained over his shoulder.

I nodded, Jet Star used to tell me stories of the first few waves. The first wave happened when I was first born and lasted a year. The Fall Out Boy were only teens at the time.

"Ty, over here!" Josh called slowing his pace. Josh walked over to one of the abandoned buildings and looked around "This, ones clean." He stepped inside disappearing into the dark. Tyler walked over to me. His eyes were dark, like he was swimming in a memory.

"Are you okay? " I asked him.

"Blurryface..." He murmured.

"I'm sorry?" I probed

"Sorry, lost my train of thought... I've been here before... this is an old building..."

I stared at him a second longer before walking inside. He was right, it's ancient. There were spider webs everywhere, and it stank like rotting wood.

"I'm up here." Josh's voice floated down from the upstairs area "It's more stable."

"Are you sure, this is the safest..." I jumped over a hole to reach the stairs "Place for us?"

I walked over to the window where he was standing. He flashed me a smile. He has a very nice smile, his eyes get all squinty and it lite up the room.

"Yeah, just ask Tyler, he was here during Blurryface-"He stopped talking abruptly "I mean, he's been here before." I looked over at him. Why was he being so sketchy?

"When will Ghoul and Doc get here?" I asked sitting on the window sill.

"Tomorrow, if all goes as planned." He told me walking over to the banister "Tyler! You coming up?"

Followed, was a serious of bumped and groans, then Tyler stumbling up the stairs.

"Why'd you choose this place, dog breath?" He complained his eyes back to their normal selves "I'm pretty sure I bruised every part of my body walking up those stairs."

Josh giggled and punched Tyler's arm. They started teasing each other. I rolled my eyes and look out the window. The roof wasn't too far away, I could probably make it. I reached up with my hand and caught the edge of the roof. I smirked and pulled myself up onto the roof.

"WOAH! What the hell! Get back down here!" Tyler exclaimed running over to the window. He looked up at me and I grinned at him.

"Oh, come on Baby Boy! The view is amazing from up here!" I chuckled. He look unsure but reached his hand up as well. He squealed as I yanked him up so he could pull himself onto the roof. He put his hand over his chest gasping for breath. I laughed at him.

"Winded already?" I teased poking him.

"No!" he shouted Smirking. We chuckled together then looked over the desert. It was beautiful as the sun set. The sand shimmered like an ocean and the sun created just enough shadow for it to look like a picture. It was truly beautiful.

"Why you?" Tyler said suddenly breaking the silence.

"What?"

"Why you? Like the Killjoys are so bent on keeping you safe and protecting you... why you?"

I furrowed my eyebrows "I don't know, I've always wondered that myself... it has something to do with my mother... that's was Kobra Kid told me when I asked him... but I don't know... I'm not special..."

"There must be a reason they chose you..."

"Same way there must be a reason you've been here before?" I shot back at him.

He looked over at me biting his lip. "Your right... there is..."

"Does it have something to do with Blurryface?"
When I said that he flinched and put his head in his hands. He shook it back and forth like he was trying to get something off his head.

"Tyler?" I put my hand on his shoulder and when he looked over at me his eyes were blood red. I shrieked and jumped away from him. He blinked and shook his head and his eyes went back to normal.

"Wait! I'm sorry I didn't mean for that to happen... just when you said...Blurryface." He muttered.

"What was that?" I shouted.

Tyler frowned and looked away from me. I put my hand on his.

"Tyler, what was that?" I asked moving closer to him."

"I am Blurryface."

WHHAAT! I'm acutally updating? Yup! SORRY I finally got over my writers block!
