"Follow me this way. Our tour isn't over. Don't run off like that again" he said and I turned my back to him and smiled. This will be just fun!

After Lui showed me the rest of this place, I was actually liking the place myself. It was lovely. There was so much things here. Healing baths, gyms, workout rooms, safe rooms, a practice room full of fighting supplies and so much more. No wonder all of these guys were so tuff and fit. Especially Vanoss.

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a voice on call through the speakers. "Lui please report to the main office" he said and I laughed at how stupid that sounded. I'd totally get used to this though. "On it." He said to what I sounded like, himself. "Nogla your on the go" he said and exited the gym we were in. "Nogla" who was a tall guy that had a pretty normal buff Mexican face, walked towards me and smiled like a kind gentleman he was. "Hello.. My name is Nogla" he spoke and I smiled through my mask. "Hey call me Vulture" I said kindly and he smiled. He wasn't very pretty but I mean, it proved that humans weren't the same and had their own looks. Nogla was just a normal guy. Unlike the rest, they all wore mask.. Well besides a few but that's not the point.

"You must think a lot.." Nogla said breaking the silence. I spaced out a little before giggling. "Yeah.. I do that a lot.." I said and he grinned. "Want to go hang with the other guys? I have to keep an eye on you and the least I could do is keep you entertained" he said sadly at the end and I smiled and nodded without saying a word. I followed him down the hall and into a big room that was filled with a whole different room that was the kitchen, and then the living room. The stoned tables were connected to the counters near the door of the kitchen. Rich motherfuckers.

The tv was so beautiful and these guys were perfectly situated. Everything fancied me. We sat down and played a few games before Vanoss, Lui and Delirious walked in. Vanoss and Lui held Delirious's arms and dragged him down the hallway. Delirious was unconscious and Vanoss looked so serious. "Lock up now. He's here" Vanoss yelled at us all and I didn't know what was actually happening. "Vulture please report to your room. No questions" Nogla said quietly and his face looked sad. I was so confused and I just simply did what he asked. I got up and helped Nogla shut everything down and slowly followed Droid to the elevator and clicked '3' on the buttoned area. He clicked '3' as well and I felt so chill. I wasn't the only one thank god.

After we had locked up.. I heard a small knock at my door. It was Lui. I was taken back. It was like 11pm and he was still up and knocking at my door? I shut my small window that revealed who it was. I opened the door and rubbed my face because I was tired. "Is everything okay?" He asked and I smiled and nicely said yes. "Yeah it's all good.. May I ask you something? Come in" I said and turned around and heard Lui shut the door.

I stood on my bed and slowly laid down and faced the opposite way from Lui and took my whole mask off. He didn't see my face and he obviously knew I was hiding it so he had no use or right to walk all over the bed just to see my face and be a nosey piece of shit, but it would be okay because I'm starting to trust this guy.

"How long will I actually be here?" I asked quietly and there was a long pause until he finally answered. "Vanoss doesn't want you to leave. He's been watching over you for the past couple of months, basically protecting you. You've had like four or five gangs try to attack you while you slept. Vanoss sent us to protect you in the most quiet way as ever.. He's a nice and kind guy in the inside but doesn't want to show it at first so that's why we took you. We really do need your help" he said and I nodded and took a lot in.

"That doesn't sound as bad.. But why am I always being watched? Why am I always needing protection when I walk around this place even though it's secured?" I felt the bed go down. Lui had sat down and I could heard him slowly breathing. "I can't say exactly why until Vanoss says so but let's just say.. There's an evil person in here that can do whatever they want to anyone they want.." He said and he started talking faster. The light was off so I don't think he could see me as much. The moon may have been a small light in the room but it's not like he could have saw me. I turned to him and faced him and he seemed surprised a bit. "Come with me for a drive. I promise I won't kill you" I smirked and giggled.

The sound of the engine, the smell of the exhaustion, the sound of honking, the sound of the busy night rummaged through my ears. "It's so nice out. I'm not going to lie. It's all good baby" Lui said in his high voice and I started laughing. "How do you do that? I can't even do that" chuckling and Lui attempted to teach me. "Don't roll your tongue or use any neck muscles. It just comes naturally. You just higher and lighten your voice. You try it" he said and I rolled my eyes and waiting for a pause.

"My names Lea-Vulture!" I said and then pushed on the brakes.. Lui laughed at me and my heart stopped. Good going Lea. "That was funny do it again" he was choking with fits of laughter by now and my face was about to burn off. I took deep breaths and chucked slightly. It's late, he'd forget that right? He probably thought I didn't even say Lea anyways.

"My names Vulture" I said and he laughed harder. He laughed like a monkey that made us both mix our laughters together and make such a wild and loud sound that made me cry of happy tears. "We should head back.. We need rest and it's not quite safe out here" he said and I nodded and turned around and drove back.

It was a fun night and felt better than before. But I promised something to myself.. I'm going completely against it.
