I start walking toward the house and soon arrive at it. There's weeds growing all over it and it has broken windows. I slowly push on the door and it falls off the hinges. I sigh and walk inside. There's a wasp nest the size of a basketball across the room. "This place hasn't been touched in years it seems." I mumble as a wasp lands on my arm. I expell a little energy and kill it. The rest of the swarm fly toward me and I summon a little energy and kill them. I sigh and wander around. I find a blue shirt upstairs along with some khaki pants and work boots. "I'd rather have some gym shoes, but I can't be picky right now." I mumble as I put everything on. I hear the door downstairs open and a the floor boards downstairs creek. I slowly walk down the stairs and see a older man with a shotgun standing there. He aims at me and I put my hand up. "What are you doing in here son?" He asks as I look at his gun. I could easily take it from him, but I won't do that. I think as I speak up. "It's a long story. But I'll say it's been a long couple days." I say as he nods. "I can understand that, I did crazy things in high school too." He says as he waves his hand for me to follow him. He walks out and I follow him a mile or so to another house. He pushes the door open and walks back to a room. Soon he comes out and stands in front of me. "Hey, Mia! Come here!" He yells as I hear footsteps running toward us. A little girl runs around the corner and smiles. "Yes daddy?" She says as he smiles. "Go fetch some rags for our guest here." He says as he looks at me. "You should go wash off a little. You look like you've been through a lot." He says as I nod. The girl runs off and soon returns with different colored rags. He leads me to the bathroom and opens the door. I smile and walk in as he closes the door behind me. I take off my shirt and look in the mirror. I see blood stains on my arms and hands. There's also dried blood on my chest and abs. I wet the rag and wipe the blood off then wet the rag again. Once I get all the blood off I move my hair. I notice my eyes are red and slitted and there's blood under my eyes. I wipe it away and revert to my normal form. I notice a open window and stare out of it. What do I do now? I can't go anywhere. Will the DHC attack this place if I'm here?? I think I'm endangering these people, and they seem really nice. I think as I sigh. There's a knock at the bathroom door. "You almost done in there?" He says as I put my shirt back on and open the door. "Yea." I say as he look at my hair for a moment. "What happened to your black hair?" He asks as I point to the window. "I threw the wig out the window. It went pretty far, I think it landed in a tree." I say as he laughs. "Well, if it's in a tree I doubt it'll hurt anything, but either way I'll go get it out tomorrow. Or maybe you could for me?" He says as I nod. "Well, I'm cooking dinner right now. Would you be interested in eating with us?" He asks as I smile. "That'd be great, thanks." I say as he walk to the kitchen. I follow and see a table neatly set. I sit down as Mia runs up to me and hands me some drawings. "I did these earlier!" She says excitedly. I look at them and notice the good detail and form of each picture. "Yea, she draws alot. She often draws fanart or even her own characters." The man says as I smile. "They're very good." I say as she grabs my wrist. "Wanna see my room?" She asks leaning in, anxiously waiting for my answer. I nod as she quickly jumps out of her chair and leads me to her room. As I enter I notice good drawings scattered all over the pink walls. I look at them all and smile. "You're very talented. How old are you?" I ask as she laughs. "I'm 12." She replies as I look at her. "And your name is Mia, right?" I ask as she smiles. "Well my real name is Miala, after the goddess of redemption. But everyone just calls me Mia." She says smiling. Miala huh? A goddess of redemption. I've never heard of her. I think as we hear a bell go off. "Daddy is done cooking! He makes amazing food. You'll love it!" She says as she leads me back to the table. As I sit down I see the man smiling. I speak up. "Hey, if I may ask, what your name?" I ask as he looks at me. "My name is Rick, and if you don't mind me asking, what's yours?" He asks as I smile. "My name is Kai Narukami." I reply as he laughs. "That name sounds so familiar." He says as he goes back to cooking. These people are so nice, I can't let them be hurt. I was starting to lose faith in humans after what the DHC did to me, but now I see it. I fight for this. I don't want to fight, but if something happens I may have too. I pray I don't have to ever kill anyone. But if killing one can save many, I may have to do it. I think as Rick sets soup, mashed potatoes, and other foods onto the table. He hands me and Mia a plate and bowl and smiles. Ill fight for this. This is worth it.
