~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Five months later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey guys, are you two ready to go into town to get rid of this extra materials?" I say, waiting for Reptar and Hero in the house we built five months earlier. "We're coming. Hold your horses." Reptar says when the two join me in the living room. I grin as I walk to the door, a come back on the tip of my tongue. "Please don't say you can't because the horses are outside." Hero says before I could. Minutes later, we are walking through town to the blacksmith. I have Hero and Rep keep watch out outside the blacksmith while I trade what I have in my spare items bag. As I grab the payment for the last bit of items I have in my spare items bag, I hear people getting close to yelling outside. "Sorry. I'll have to go make sure the others from getting hurt. I'll come back with more at a later time." I say, rushing out of the store right into someone in a lab coat and jeans. "Sorry." I say, rubbing my forehead. I expect to see Mark when I look at the man's face, but am shocked to see someone I know of due to Mark telling me to avoid him. "Sorry, but we have to go. Now!" I say without looking Albert in the face, grabbing Hero and Reptar by the arm. I drag them to the gate when feel someone jerk me back by my shirt. "Run!" I yell when I kick backwards, taking off in a full on sprint with Hero and Rep. We don't stop to look back until we reach and get inside my old house, breathing heavily from running so hard for such a short distance. "We can't stay here too long. Emma and the others will notice people walking around sooner or later." Reptar says, looking out the window to see if we had been followed.

"Agreed. Kitty if you know of anything we should grab before we leave, tell us where some of it is and we'll help you get it out." Hero says as he walks over to Reptar. I nod, walking to the basement door. "There are some special ice potions I've been working on hidden in a chest under the chest in the basement. There's enough for both of you to fill your bags. Only other thing is a old sword my mother put in the attic for me. I'll go get it while you and Hero are down there." I say, looking at Hero and Reptar before walking up the stairs to the second floor. When I reach the spot where the pull down ladder for the attic is, I realize how clean the house is after five months. I shrug, pull the ladder down, and go to get the sword. I find it after a few minutes of searching through boxes. I get out of the attic when I hear a window break. "Again with the window!?" I scream as I run to the front of the house. Albert is standing a few feet in front of the broken window, someone I don't know standing with him. Crack I whip my head to look down at the basement door to see Hero get hit in the knee by an arrow and Rep get hit in the arm by a arrow from a cross bow in his arm. I rush down as they both try to use the crossbows they have to fend off the intruders, blasting Albert and his friend's weapons out of their hands. . He smiles like he has a plan and raises his hands. He then turns and shoves his friend out the hole where one of the windows used to be before walking a few feet towards me. I pull the sword out of it's hilt, pointing the now shimmering blade at the man in front of me. "First you pick a fight with Hero and Rep while I am inside a store, now you break into my house and hurt my best friends!?" I yell, the blade glowing brighter with my rage. "You might want to run dude." Reptar says as he and Hero watch from the sidelines, enjoying the look of anger on Albert's face.

"Like I will back down because of a little girl." Albert says. He turns to talk to his friend, which gives me the opportunity to run up and punch him square in the jaw. "We warned you." Rep says, both he and Hero supressing a laugh. Albert's friend charges over to Albert with a knife he pulled from his coat pocket. "Stay away from us and you'll have no more trouble." He says. I roll my eyes, look over at Rep and Hero with a annoyed look, then I blast the knife out of his hand with icy cold wind. "Ya right. Anyone who says that after attacking people without reason OBVIOUSLY had no ill intention." I say in the most sarcastic voice I can. I raise my hands, a misty ice quickly enveloping both of my hands and most of my arms. "Now I suggest you both get out of here before either of you makes a bad choice." I say, not seeing the mist shaping itself to look like dragon's claws at the ends of my fingers. Albert quickly jumps to his feet, grabs his friend's arm, and takes off. "This won't be the last you see of us!" He screams before the pair disappear into the woods. "C'mon Hero, I'll help ya get to the house. Just don't touch the bad arm." Rep says, helping Hero to his feet as I walk the gap to them. "Don't worry. We'll stay here. I just need to make a few... adjustments." I say, motioning for them to got outside. "Alright. Don't take to long." Hero says as Rep helps him outside. Once they leave, I start manipulating the mist to every bit of the house that is in need of repair. After a few minutes of work, I stamp my foot in frustration due to the little things that hadn't been kept up and the fact that we can never get a break. I hear a crack at my foot and, expecting to see a bit of broken floor, see a patch of ice like stone. I look at it for a few minutes before realizing I could make the house look way better. I start spreading the ice like substance around the floor, amazed at how much better the floor looked. I pause and run to the door. "Hey guys. I need you both to stay out here for a bit longer. I found out about a new trick I can do." I yell to Hero and Rep. I run back in before either of them can give me more than a confused look back in return. I stamp my foot again in the same spot I did minutes before, the new ice I seem to be able to make coursing around in a small circle.

I breath in and release the pinned up emotions I've had into the ice, the house changing into a beautiful Victorian house. I finish, looking around the new living room in awe as Hero and Rep walk back in. I grin at them, noticing the group behind them a few minutes later. "What're they doing here?" I say, motioning to Jason and the rest. "Mark, Emma, Tbnr, Ender, and Sierra came to see if we came back. Not sure about what Jason's up to though." Reptar says, squinting at Jason suspiciously. Jason moves a timid step forward. "After we all got back here five months ago, Emma and the others yelled at me for being such a jerk to you. Sierra, Tbnr, and Ender kept traveling to the city where Steve and Notch live to see if you guys were there. We didn't know you there were still so close." Jason takes a small breath before continuing. "Will you accept my apology for calling you a monster Kit? I'm sorry I wasn't as accepting at first as Hero, Rep, and the rest are." He looks at me, scared he may have ended our friendship. I sigh, walking up and patting his shoulder. "It's fine. Forget about it. Mark, do you thing you can patch Rep and Hero up? Everyone else, let's go explore." I say with a grin, running off to look around the rest of the home with Emma, Sierra, Jason, Ender, Tbnr, Sierra, Benny, and Katrina in tow.
