   Flare's POV

   I was cleaning the kitchen of my house. I didn't have a choice. It was my job, just like every other thing in the house. The dirty dishes piled up high. How many plates does a woman and a drunk brother of mine need to use in one day? I thought sourly as I washed. My wings were folded on my back so I didn't hit anything, and my tail was curled around my leg so it wouldn't get in the way.

   I groaned and slammed my fist on the counter, causing pain to shoot up my arm.

   "Jeez.. Why me?" I muttered to myself as the pain ceased.

   "You are the hybrid here," a voice in my head stated.

   "Go away Casey, I'm not in the mood right now," I said.

   "You're never in the mood," Casey said.

   "I know," I responded gloomily.

   My mother walked into the kitchen to see my work.

   "What is this? You call this clean?" she yelled, gesturing to the counter and stove.

   "No, I think it's disgusting to be honest," I said. She scowled at me and walked away.

   "Hmph, I can't wait to get out of here," I muttered.

   I finished the kitchen and went to the basement. I stayed there, with nothing but a pillow, a blanket, and my tablet. I used my tablet for YouTube. I loved watching Bodil40. His laugh always made me feel better, and his maps were amazing. He was perfect.

   I picked up my tablet and stared at the screen in awe. On my announcements it said that Bodil40 had responded to one of my comments. I immediately tapped the announcement and read his comment. I commented on one of his x-runs. My comment was "Wow, Bodil40 is master x-run! No one came close! Is it bad that I would want to meet him some time irl?". He responded be saying "Not at all, it's possible, just come to Bulgaria and keep your ears open for my laugh, anyone can hear it ;)". What he didn't know is that I was already in Bulgaria.

   I responded to his comment saying "I am in Bulgaria, I can never find you. You're amazing, I love your videos". I caught myself most about to type I love you. I blushed. I wouldn't say I love him... Would I?

   "Sarah!" my mom called. I groaned.

   "What?" I yelled back.

   "Up! Now! It's raining and I don't want to get dinner! You get it!" she yelled. I walked up the stairs with my tablet in my hand.

   "Ugh! You have that tablet! Give it to me," she said, holding out her hand. I looked down at my tablet, then back at her. I uncured my tail and got it ready to push me out of the way when my mom tries to jump me.

   "You can abuse me. Tell me to clean the entire house. Tell me to be your footrest. Tell me to walk out in the rain to get dinner. But you can not, and I mean not!, touch my tablet!" I said. Her look of confusion quickly turned to anger.

   "Give me that tablet! You will have no contact with the outside world without my permission!" she said, trying to grab it. I used my tail and pushed up with it, making me jump out of the way. My mom landed on the floor with a thud and I took off. I ran out the door into the pouring rain. This had been a non-stop storm for 5 years. I spread my wings and flapped against the wind. I heard my mother screaming my name, with my drunken brother, Jack, right behind her.

   Lightning flashed all around me, but I ignored it. It was actually a pretty storm, a storm I would fly in any day. Lightning crawled across the sky, creating light for me to see. I dove down to the ground and landed in a dark alleyway. It was covered, so I decided to stay here. It wouldn't hurt would it? I set my tablet down beside me and drifted off to sleep.

   Martin's (Bodil's) POV

   I walked alone down the flooded sidewalk, thinking about all of the upset subscribers. With the storm, I have no connection, and no connection means no videos. I'd lost many subscribers over the last years. 5 years and no videos? It makes sense as to why I'm losing them. I walked past an abandoned shop next to a dark alleyway.

   I looked into the alley and saw a darkened figure in the shadows. The figure had shadowy wings and I could make out a long tail.

   This startled me and I jumped back. I peered back around the corner and saw it lie down. I slowly walked over to it and saw it was just a girl about my age. A hybrid. A dragon hybrid. Her wings folded into her sides and her tail curled into a spiral. In her arms was a small, black tablet. She looked stressed in her sleep, so I picked her up and carried her back home.

   Time skip - Because I can

   I got home and knocked on the door with my foot. Simon opened the door and smiled, then noticing the young hybrid in my arms, he gave me a look of confusion.

   "Who's that?" he asked.

   "I found her in the alley by that abandoned shop. She didn't look very comfortable, so I was wondering if she could stay with us," I said.

   "It's fine, we have a spare room, just get out of the rain before you get sick," Simon said. I walked inside and laid her down on the tan leather couch in the living room. Her blond hair was covering one eye, kind of like Ty. She had a green and purple plaid jacket with a white undershirt, and gray jeans. Her sneakers were black with red highlights and laces. She was cute, I'll admit.

   Her face was twisted in what looked like a small amount of rage, and it looked as though she fell asleep that way. Maybe she was abused, I thought. Nah, who would abuse someone like this?

   Though it could be a possibility. I pulled a chair over and sat next to her. I held her hand, knowing she wouldn't feel it, and laid my head on the couch and fell asleep.

   Another time skip :3

   I woke up early, so I could be awake when our mystery girl woke up. Her breathing was slow and steady, keeping a certain pace. I let go of her hand, careful not to make to much movement.

   "P.. Pain.... Too much.. No.. " she moaned. She was talking in her sleep. Pain? I thought in confusion. She flinched in her sleep. Bad dream, I thought. She began to shiver, so I got her a blanket and laid it in top of her. Her arm was hanging off the side of the couch. I softly ran my fingers through her hair, ceasing her shivering.

   Her eyes fluttered open and she looked me straight in the eyes, through my sunglasses and all.
