We had arrived at Skye's place a couple days after finding Jenovia and her gang. I'm trying my best to teach her our language so maybe we can communicate better and Skylar won't be so pissy about not understanding them.

We were sitting in her living room while Skye was in the shower and Lucio was messing with Jenovia's hair tying it this way or that way. "One more time...I moved here from...Er where did you come from?" She stared at me and as usual she looked at the boy which I learned was named Jay or Jeremiah. He sure has an attitude he's been by the window all day just looking pissed off at the world. Sighing she replied "We...Came from...A village maybe...10-15 miles...Away from where you found us." I looked up to notice he was staring at us.

We continued the lesson for an hour or two at one point Skye joined us trying to help. We all jumped when someone started beating on the door. Immediately Skye shot up and checked to see who it is. All I heard was "No...I said no...How the hell do you keep getting this...What if she is your not meeting her...Just go." She shut the and let out a sigh when she looked up we all looked away and went back to what we were doing. "Okay noisy butts if you really want to know that's my shithead sister."

I felt eyes watching me and I looked to see Jenovia staring intently at me. When she got my attention she asked me for a translation so I told her what Skye had said then she started laughing. I checked the clock and then got up walking over to Skye then wrapping my arms around. "Do you mind keeping them until we find a place for them?" I had asked earlier but might as well try again. I gave her my puppy dog eyes and smiled knowing she won't refuse. "Er...Stop it god damn it...I can't give you a straight answer with you looking at me like that." She finally gave in as I continued staring at her.

I grabbed my stuff then said my goodbyes to everyone. I never noticed how rough they look until I was leaving them in the hands of my girlfriend and Lucio. I walked out of her apartment immediately stumbling on somebody sitting right outside her door. "Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I shifted my stuff so I can lend them a hand. They took my hand and met my eyes then smiled very wickedly. "You must be the girl that took my sister from the streets." She said not letting go of my hand.

"I haven't the slightest clue what you mean."

"You must know by now that my sister is a filthy street rat just like the rest of her family."

"I'm not sure if we are talking about the same person."

"Krystaline Skylar Hardevine. I'm sure you've heard that name."

My free hand went behind me and started knocking. As soon as the door open I saw a very pissed Skylar. She immediately tore the girls hand off of me then shoved me back inside closing me inside and her to deal with her sister.

I heard yelling and what I could assume her hitting the girl. I backed away and set my stuff down. I gently picked up Agor then sat on the couch. Not able to think I sat there and stared at the door. Eventually​ someone wrapped their arms around me I looked to see Lucio.

She eventually came inside dragging her sister behind her, grumbling unintelligible words, to her room. She came out and looked at me my eyes shifted down to her hands which were bloodied and battered. I immediately got up and went for the first aid kit. Knowing what I was doing she looked at me and said one word that stung me "no."

She turned to Lucio and tossed him her keys "take her home." He just nodded and grabbed me as well as my bags knowing I'll refuse and fight back. "What the hell? Let me go Lucio!" I insisted but didn't get anywhere so as soon as I was out of the door I stopped.

"Lucio?"

"Hmm." He hummed in reply.

"Am I bad a person?"

"I can assure darling you aren't a bad person."

"Then why did it seem Skylar was mad at me?"

"It wasn't towards you she was mad at herself."

I looked at him as he loaded my stuff into the truck. He looked down at me and sighed.

"Her sister has been a pain in the rear since she started repeating Skye's mistakes."

"Mistakes?"

"Skye was from a spruced up neighborhood and got everything she wanted but she wanted to change so she went to the streets. Started doing drugs, drinking, was part of a trade that probably shouldn't be mentioned."

"What?"

"She was the trafficking Lord's main women."

"What kind of trafficking?"

"Human. She didn't like it but between the drinks and drugs she couldn't decipher right from wrong. I came through the traffic and she saw me. She was the one in charge of deciding who was great at what and she wanted to personally train me."

"Wait did she?"

"No, no god no. She trained me to do tasks for her that she couldn't do like got get things from certain people. She kept me by her side and the Lord didn't like this cause she practically raised me as their child and he didn't get as much attention as he wanted so he through us out. She took me and tried going back to her home but her parents wouldn't accept her back in by this time I was 12 to 13 and her sister was 6 or 7."

"How long was she in the trafficking thing?"

"8 or so years I think she left her house around 10 or 11 the Lord found her around 12 and she left at age 20 I think."

I sat back staring at the road in front of us not knowing what to say and I'm assuming he knew to stop because he did. We eventually stopped in front of my house and I got out taking my stuff with me.
