The F.R.E.A.K.S

New Ally

I was reinforcing the force field when Leo woke up with a start. He was looking around and the panic in his eyes was evident. I slowly and calmly made my way to him as to not scare him off. "I see you're awake," I greeted him.

"Who are you?" His accent was like honey and his voice showed authority but was still wary. I took it as a compliment that he was slightly fearful of me, although I didn't mean any harm.

"My name is Xion Rose Niore Dandelion."

"Why am I here?"

"My friend, Spike, and I saved you from that freak show."

"Why?"

"Because we couldn't bare to see you living like that."

"What are you..?", he asked with uncertainty. I only shrugged,"I'm not sure... I'm just.. A freak." I looked at him,"And you are too."

His eyes flashed with an emotion I could decipher before he seemed to calm down. He, now calmly, looked around. "We're in a forest? Why are none of the animals curious of us?"

"I set up an illusion barrier and force field to make it seem as though we aren't here and to make sure no one can break in."

At that moment, Spike walked in. "I thought you said no one could break in?", Leo quirked a brow. I winked,"There are exceptions." Spike walked up to us and offered a hand to Leo,"Nice to see you're awake." They shook hands,"My name is Spikedelic Wester Chainsaw, nice to meet you Leo." Leo nodded,"And you, Mr. Chainsaw."

"Oh, just call me Spike," he smiled. Leo kissed the back of Spike's hand and smiled at him,"Alright then, Spike." Spike was all blushes and giggles and I watched, amused, by the sidelines. I took this opportunity to get a good look at Leo.

He was really well built. With bulging muscles and amazing height. He had a good figure with a strong back and wide shoulders, along with looks that could kill. His lion's head was off and his makeup was smeared so I could see his face more clearly. To say it short, Leo was attractive and totally Spike's type.

I cleared my throat and they both just realized they were relentlessly flirting right in front of me and they blushed as red as tomatoes. This was pretty cute and I gave a cheeky smile and raised my eyebrows twice at Spike, who managed to blush even more. "Anyways," I drawled. "Let's eat shall we?" They both nodded bashfully. Cuuute.

Over breakfast we shared information about ourselves, I went first. "Well, my name is Xion Rose Niore Dandelion. I'm in this forest because my company kicked me out and left me to bleed on the floor. There, Spike found me and took care of me. I was born on January 9, 2001, I'm sixteen years old and turning seventeen next year. I have the powers of a witch, including a staff," I motioned towards where it was located. "I don't like people who are rude or treat other cruelly no matter how they look or seem. I also want to take over the world."

Spike nodded and cleared his throat. "Uhm, my name is Spikedelic Wester Chainsaw. I ran away from a laboratory where I was experimented on. That's where I got these powers," he changed his arm into a blade and back again. Leo's eyes widened. "I've been wandering this forest for a year now and months ago I found Xion. I was born on June 26, 1996, I'm twenty-one years old. I live by honest morals and try to be nice to everyone I meet. Unless they're jerks, then I punch them in the face," we all laughed at that. "And I'm here to help Xion conquer the world."

It was Leo's turn now. He set down his food and his face took on one that has seen and faced many hardships. Spike and I immediately turned serious also. "My name is Leo Le Rouge. I was taken into the freak show as a young boy, around six years of age. I've been whipped and treated like a savage beast for my power and my whole village feared me. Even my own family. They would whip me and make me sleep in the cage. I was born on April 19, 1994 and I am twenty-three years of age. I'm not sure what I'm going to do now that I'm out of the freak show..", Leo admitted.

Spike cleared his throat,"You know.. You could come with us." "Yeah!!", I agreed. "Come on, Leo it'll be so much fun! You don't have anything else to do anyways right?", I asked. He shook his head. "Well then," I stood up and looked at him excitedly,"Leo, welcome aboard to our quest to conquer the world."

     One day while we were packing to change our areas, Leo suggested we train more. "Pff what?", Spike sputtered. "Let us face it, neither of you are reaching the potential you know you are meant to be at," Leo reasoned. "You calling us weak, Leo?", I raised an eyebrow. "Basically yes,"he replied. Spike and I both gasped and I placed my hand over my chests in fake hurt.

"Why - I never!",Spike pretended to faint, but got up laughing. "So what do you want us to do, Kitty Cat?", I teased. "Well..", Leo trailed.

*
     We knew it was going to be hard but, dear lord. Spike and I could barely move while Leo looked like he could go all day. "Come on, get up we aren't finished," Leo demanded. Spike and I groaned and slowly got up. Muscles I didn't even know I had or could use are so sore it hurts to move.

"Leo can't we have a break?", I cried.

"No."

"Why?"

"You guys are weak and need to get stronger."

"But we can't get stronger if we can't move Leo."

     He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed,"Fine. But only for thirty minutes, do you understand?", Spike and I both nearly collapsed with relief as we nodded.

     Both of us happily sat down and drank water from our packs. "So," I drawled,"what's up with you and Leo, hm?", I raised my eyebrows suggestively, twice. Spike choked and almost spit out his water. Once he calmed down his cheeks were a bright pink and he cleared his throat,"What do you mean? There's nothing between us." I slyly smirked and poked his sides,"Nothing my staff. I see the way you guys look at each other. There is definitely something."

"Ok ok fine... I like him..", he bashfully admitted.

"Awww my wittle Spikey had a cruushh!!"

"Oh my god Onnie stop!"

"But it's so cute!!"

"I hate you."

"You love me."

"Sure -ow!!"

"Shut up, you love me."

Spike sighed,"You're right."
