Do you guys like this story?? What do you think of the characters?? Am I doing a good job at explaining their changes??

"I must admit, this is better then expected." Maria said as she flipped through photos of what Bryce had done to Edgar Porter. "A broken eye socket, four missing teeth and a fractured jaw." She whistled and smiled up at him smugly, "well done."

Bryce's long unkempt hair hung in his face, his bandaged hands curled and uncurled in and out of fists. "I was only doing what you told me to do." He whispered.

"Indeed you did," she nodded, letting the pictures fall onto her desk. "Since you did so well, Bryce, what would like as a reward?" He looked up at her in surprise, finding the woman smiling at him, both eyes raised in question. "A special food? A new blanket? Time with Krissy...?" His whole body went tense. Maria's smile widened. "Is that what you would like, Bryce, time with Krissy?" She cooed.

Despite feeling like he was being talked to like a dog, he nodded with a swallow. "Yes, I would like to see Krissy, Mother." He had to see her, make sure she was alright.

"Fine," the woman shrugged and stood. He watched as she walked around her desk and towards her office door. "Follow me."

Maria produced a key from her pocket and unlocked a door behind leading him into a room. Krissy stood in the furthest corner of the bedroom. He felt his body relax when he caught sight of her, her own body also relaxed and a soft smile appeared on her lips but it vanished in a second. She took a few steps forward.

"Mother?" She questioned eyes on the woman instead.

"Bryce did something that pleased me greatly, as a reward, I've allowed him time with you."

Bryce moved around Maria and met the girl in the center of the bedroom in front of four-post bed, he stopped just short of touching her.

"You're back," she glanced over his shoulder at Maria. "That's...good."

"I'm fine," he assured even though she didn't ask he could tell she wanted too. He just knew. "What about you, did anything happen?"

Her gaze once again slipped from him and darted behind him before looking at him again, she forced a smile.

"Nothing much, I'm fine."

"Well, I'll leave you two alone, then." Maria announced sounding uninterested. "You have two hours, Bryce."

He turned around. "Thank you again, Mother." He said.

Maria waved her hand and disappeared out of the bedroom, shutting the door behind her. Krissy sat on the bed and patted a hand on the green comforter next to her, telling him to sit. He hesitated but gently sat on the bed next to her, as close as he would dare. He sat as stiff as a board, bandaged fingers wrapped around the material of his pants in a tight grip, before loosening and dropping to his sides.

Krissy stared down at his bandaged hands and looked up at him silently with a small frown.

"Its nothing," he assured, not willing to go further into detail about what happened.

There was a moment of heavy silence. Krissy pulled at threads at the bottom of her blouse and bit her lip.

"How was it out there?" She finally asked.

"Its... its not very different I guess." He told her simply. She frowned and looked down. She was disappointed by his short answer. He felt instantly bad. They both had been trapped in her for so long, both cut off from the outside world and he had been the one to get to experience it once again. "We... We went to New Mexico..." She looked up in surprise. He smiled a little. "Yeah, it was sort of interesting because I've never been there before. There was a lot of people... I didn't get to talk with anyone but... it was sort of odd and exciting seeing so many people." He admitted. "We went to this house... It wasn't as big as Maria's but it had a pretty cool layout..." He trailed remember what he had done in that house. He had no intention of sharing that with Krissy. He frowned deeply, a sick feeling rolling around in his stomach..
