"Wait." Tam said, "Who are you and how do you know who I am? You look much younger then everyone else." "Wouldn't you like to know." I responded, looking

him strait in the eyes. I was trying really hard not to look scared, because, really, I was terrified.

"You really don't look much older then 10." He responded. "Him maybe," I said, pointing to Ryan "but not me." "So why are you even here?" "I know why but you don't." I exclaimed. Then I kicked him in that special place. He crumpled to the ground. "Oh god. Where the heck did you learn to kick that hard?"

He said this while, still on the ground, taking deep breaths. "Again, I know that, but you don't. Now, I have realized that everyone else haven't come looking for us yet. Where are they?" "We took them. Exept for the smallest boy. He only looked about eight, so we let him go." I couldn't help it, I laughed so hard.

Callan, looking eight! The funniest part was, he was the second best fighter out of the four of us. "Ok, then, ima let you go, just don't bother me anymore, or else the next time I'll kick you ten times harder." "Ok." He said, getting up.

He light leaped away before he said anything. "Woah." Ryan said. "You realize that you just made a fourteen year old boy afraid of you, right?" "I know, and the weirdest part is, I'm still super afraid of him." "Ok, wait, but they still have Biana, Fitz, and Sophie." Oh yeah. Right. "Umm, let's go get Callan, and also get Alden to tell him about this particularly annoying situation." Oh boy, I'm in for a long night.

***********************************************************************

We ran in to find Callan sitting on the couch with Alden. His dark look brightened when he saw us come in. "Hey! You're alright! Oh no, does the fact that Sophie and Fitz aren't with you mean that they've been..." Ryan nodded grimly.

"Ok, now, I want you all to go to sleep, and since Mr. Forkle is already coming tomorrow, we can meet up with him in the morning. Now Kelly, I don't expect you to sleep with the boys, but-" "I'll just sleep in Biana's empty room." I completed for him, grumbling. "Besides, it's not like I'm actually going to fall asleep."

Alden sighed. "I guess you're right. But you should at least try. But before you go up, I want you and Ryan's account of what happened." He led us over to the kitchen table, where mallowmelt was waiting.

After we talked, I went upstairs to Biana's room to get dressed and go to bed. Before I got in bed, I put my phone by the window to charge and then got into bed, obviously i didn't sleep, but just layed there until morning. As soon as I got up, I felt really depressed, so you know what time it is...

"Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck, Some nights I call it a draw" I sang, wandering over to the mirror. "Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle, Some nights I wish they'd just fall off." I started to go into my bag to get cloths.

"But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh"
I sang while getting dressed.
"Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh"
the song started as barely more then a whisper, but it was gradually getting louder.

"This is it, girls, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white"
I put on a green casual dress with a belt. Then started to do my hair.
"I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
That's alright (that's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Mmm... Mmm..."
I decided on double Dutch braids

"Well, some nights I wish that this all would end
'Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win, I always win..."
I had thought I always would win, but Inow know that the neverseen will change that

"But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Whoa oh oh (What do I stand for?)
Most nights I don't know... (oh, come on)"
I was done my braid at this point, and I just really don't know anymore.

"So this is it. I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this"
I realize that I really miss my family

"No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like a swan, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on!"
This is my swan song I thought quietly.

"Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?"
This is my swan song, this is the song that I will sing if I ever die.

"My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
When I look into my old friends eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible nights... ah...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh"
the most amazing things that can come from those terrible nights.

"The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... Oh..." this is my swan song.
I thought once more.

Just a little mini chapter on the same day as the last. I heard this song, and I was like, this song perfectly describes my life, ima use it in the Moonlarks. Some here you go. Listen to the song, it's really good. I changed like two or three words in this though.
