Ama's POV

So well today seemed ordinary when I woke up, little did I know that someone was watching us from deeper down the alley. Which is weird because I made sure to check this alley last night. it was just us, apparently I was wrong. William was still sleeping which was surprising because he wasn't asleep last night when I fell asleep. and I fell asleep late last night. Probably around 2 am. He usually doesn't sleep that much and he hasn't been sleeping at all lately. it's kind of getting annoying. he's just some weird goddy trot. His breathing quickened all of a sudden and I just sat with my back to the cold brick wall. His breathing didn't faulter until I heard a crackling noise from deeper down the alley. I shot up and Baron began to growl. I stood up in alert and looked through the darkness, lucky for whatever was there I couldn't bloody see them.

"Hello, is anyone there?" I asked innocently, I am but a scared child after all. "You thought you killed me didn't you," a voice spoke out in a very familiar voice. The voice of an American boy, probably a young teenager. The voice of Riley, the monster that killed my sister. My small hands bundled up into fists, my knuckles turning white from the pressure. I was squeezing my hands so tightly I'm surprised my nails didn't cut my palms, yet. "What are you," I asked sharply. making sure with every word I spoke, it would be heard clearly. "I'm just like you.... But let me ask as to why did you lie to me about your name when we first met?" Something was knocked out of one of the crates about a few yards away. "I don't like liars." I stood my ground even though this was one of the scariest things that have ever happened to me, excluding my mums death and sisters death.

"Why are you so afraid of your name, does it send chills down your back?" Riley's voice was becoming more clear, "Does it remind you about your family, and how you can never see them again?" tears began to stream down my face, unnoticed. "Or how about it reminds you that your cursed." cursed, I'm not cursed am I?

"IM NOT CURSED!"

Riley began laughing, "you are smart I will give you that." There were footsteps behind me, becoming louder with each click of the shoes. "How so, I haven't gone to school, I'm just a dumb street con." I asked, my voice cracking now and then. the tears wouldn't stop flowing, no matter how hard i tried, I couldn't help but cry away all of the emotions I've bottled up for years. The foot steps stopped. And a shadow like person came into view.

"Oh don't cry, young lion heart. I might start crying along with you." The shadowed person looked up and had glowing blue eyes. Riley.... It really was Riley- uhm the monster! I'm not sure, he's hiding most of his face under a strange hat, and his body under a long trench coat. "Who are you," I yelled but lowered my voice to a whisper, "who are you really?" He looked up at me and smiled me the reassuring smile, " I'm the boy that nearly killed you, but you saved me before I could kill you." I stared at him in disbelief, I-I saved this bloody bastard. and he spared my life for it.

"How-" his smile disappeared and he interrupted me, "I was sent from my home and retrieve you with the help of one of my friends but he got injured. So when I found you, I was ready to go on and take you and your sister to a place where you would be at home. But a monster, called an eidolon, possessed me and attacked your sister and nearly killed me. I was fighting against it and when he saw your eyes. the monster went weak and fled from my body and I gave you that mark. The scar on your left side of your face." he looked at my now sleeping dog and smiled, "the scar is healing I see though." I know a man who can take you in. You, your dog, cat, and friend here can have a home."

Home-

A new home- just a home? But what about the streets, wouldn't they miss me? I get all the mice would hate that I'm not there to leave scraps for them. Or people wouldn't have street talk anymore about the street thief.... oh yes they would miss me.

Will began to stir in his sleep again but this time, his eyes shot open. His brown irises were an ocean of fear until they landed on me, but fear and confusion returned when he looked over at Riley. he bolted up to his feet, scaring Celeste in the process. "Who in bloody hell is this?!" he nearly yelled. Riley and I both shushed him, but I also put my hand over his mouth. "Will meet, Riley. Riley meet Will." Riley smiled at held out his hand for Will to shake, but only got an unamused glare. i stepped towards Will and whispered to him, "Remember the sorry sucker who gave me this scar, well he was possessed by some stupid monster thingy. but he's okay now, he won't hurt us. and he's offering us a home." Will smiled under my hand and removed it showing his slightly crooked teeth. Will smiled at Riley and took his hand to shake it, "We're both very appreciative for you to take us in like thi-" I smacked Will's chest backwards and gave Riley a hard look, "We will only accept your proposal with one thing in return." Riley looked at me seriously, "And what may the request be?" my eyes changed to a hard look, as I spoke with no emotion, "We need to burn my childhood home to the ground."

Riley pulled out a wicked grin and let his hair fall over his eyes slightly, giving him an eerie look. "Now this is getting interesting, of course. I've always enjoyed playing with fire." I looked at Willa and we grinned at each other, "then we have an accord." I grabbed Riley's left hand with my right and Wills with my left. Will grabbed Riley's right hand with his left hand and we shook on it.

You know what they say, you need to have one home to be happy. Actually now that I think of it no one says that- oh well.

Oh yes.... this was getting interesting indeed.
