Abby POV

My eyes wide with fear. Staring at the two mangled bodies in the alley way.

"Nononono" I mumbled with my eyes spilling out salty tears. The man looked at me. His insane white face and a crazed smile on it and him holding a knife.

"Your next" he whispered and started to growl at me.

"AHHHHHHH"!!!!!!!!! I quickly sat up to only be greeted by a head smashing into my own. I gripped my head in pain and I was crying. Not from the pain but from the nightmare.

I heard a growl of pain next to me. I looked at Maine who was holding his head in pain.

"S-sorry Maine. I didn't know you were there" I said still holding my head.

Sigma appeared and said," Agent Maine says it's alright and wants to know why you were mumbling and screaming in your sleep".

"I had a nightmare about my parents" I said sadly. It still hurts me to talk about them.

"Agent Maine wants to know if you want to talk about it" Sigma said for Maine.

"Sure" I said while patting a spot on the bed for him to sit down. He sat down and I began.

"When I was 9 my parents went to go see a movie and they left me home alone because the babysitter was sick and we lived Ina decent enough neighborhood. They left saying,' we will be back soon. We love you' that was the last thing I heard from my father. And my mom hugged me and kissed my forehead" I said with tears starting to brim the edges of my eyes.

Maine just rubbed my arm supportingly. He reminded me of my dad like Washington.

"They left. They told me what time they should be back. They should have been back by about 8 or 9. We'll it was about 10:30 and I was trying to stay positive like saying 'they just went out to dinner. That has to be it' I started to get really scared. They hadn't called or anything so I was starting to freak out. I called my neighbor and I spent the night at her house and we left a note incase they came home. We'll when we came back I discovered that they we still not home and me and my neighbor decided to go to the police station" I started to cry at the memory of about to learn my parents murder.

We went inside and we went up to the reception desk and we told them everything and we found out 2 days later. They were found in an alley way..." I started to cry harder and Maine pulled me into a hug.

I accepted it and I was stunned at the same time. I mean c'mon! AGENT MAINE. THE Agent Maine was HUGGING me. ME. Who'da. Thunk it?!

Sigma appeared," agent Maine wants to say sorry for bringing up the topic".

I pulled away from the hug and looked at him with my puffy eyes and said," it's ok. You were just curious. Everybody is" I said.

"Agent Maine wants to inform you that breakfast will be in about 30 minutes. Then the whole day is a free day" sigma said for the man.

"Thanks" was all I said before getting out of bed and getting a new pair if clothes. The only clothes I found was a t shirt. Great.

I hate t shirts cause you see my scars. Scars from a childhood nobody should have to endure.

I grabbed the blue shirt and a pair of jeans and made my way to the bathroom and closed the door to signal privacy. I got changed into my new clothes and walked out. I put the dirty pjs in my dresser and my arm with the scars which was my left facing Maine. I could feel his eyes on me.

He walked forward and grabbed my arm gently yet roughly and looked me in the eyes as if to ask how I got these.

"There was a reason I tried to escape that orphanage you know. And these scars prove it". Was all I said but Maine looked at me like saying he wanted to know who did it.

"The orphanage keeper Ms. Magnolia is a child abuser. She abuses the younger kids. One day she stole some of the fundraiser money that people raised for us and she blamed it on me. I even saw here take it it of the pile and she pocked it and told the people and se shoved me against a wall and it made a nail that was sticking out of the wall to cut me. I needed a few stitches after that. But when I got to the age of 12 I was much taller than I was before and I started to fight back so she would only call me names instead if violence" I said while saying it with much venom in my voice and my eye twitching in anger at that memory. A memory of me being weak.

He only looked at me with sorrow in his eyes.

"It's fine. When in older in going to give her a piece of my ninja skills and save those kids" I said while doing a small hand chop that was supposed to be cool but I hit it on the counter.

"Ow" I mumbled. And it made Maine laugh. I got my coloring book and sat on my bed and put in my ear buds. I felt a tap on my shoulder and saw Maine looking at me.

"Agent Maine wants to know if he can draw with you" Sigma said.

"Sure"! I said with a smile on my face. I flipped through the pages.

"Ok tell me what you want to color. Or you can draw if you want to draw" I said.

He just shook his head as if to say,'I'll color'.

Finally I came to a picture of a wolf howling. I like horses and wolves. Like I LOVE them. He pointed to it and I smiled.

"This is probably one of my favorite pictures in here. But you can color it" I said happily.

I tore it out carefully and I scooted over the pile of crayons so they were in between us. "The thing I like about coloring is there's no limit. You can color a horse purple or a dog orange and nobody judges you" I said with a smile on my face returning to my work.

Maine POV (bet u didn't see that!;))

When I first met Colorado I thought she might annoy me. But now I feel bad about even thinking about that. She is really the only one besides Washington who really ever wanted I guess to hang out with me.

With Colorado I feel like...protective? Around her. Like how a father would around his daughter. I don't know. I guess...... she's finally seen me as a person instead of a monster.

So right now we are both on her bed (NOT LIKE THAT YOU DIRTY MINDED PERVS!!!) coloring. We are both laying on our stomachs next to each other. She even let me listen to her music. She has like a pop yet sad kinda taste in music.

Then we heard the breakfast bell. We just left the stuff on the bed because she planned to really stay in and try to relax since a lot has happened in like 2 days.

We were heading to the lounge side by side. Her green eyes shining with curiosity. We were both in clothes and and no armor. She is shorter with her armor. About 5'1 while I'm about 6'8. She was wearing a blue t shirt that actually showed her scars. And she was wearing blue jeans and cowboy boots.

I was wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes, a black sleeveless shirt. We entered the lounge as she was talking about how she snuck out of the orphanage to I see a movie called "The Hobbit".

We got our good and she continued. I was curious how a teenager would like to read so much. The only teenagers I've seen have their faces stuff in their phones or something like that and read books.( ;) Lol. I had to put that in there)!

She loves to read and draw. Which she is very good at. I snuck a peek at her sketch book and I saw pictures of wolves and horses and they were very good. But then I also noticed that she started to draw the Agents. Including me. So I wanted to know were she learned to draw.

Sigma appeared to speak for me.

"Agent Maine wants to know where you learned to draw" sigma said for me.

"We'll. when Ms. Magnolia would either be passed out from drinking or have a hangover I would sneak out to the library an I would practice drawing with art books". She said before eating some of her pancakes.

"Agent Maine wants to know why you had to sneak out" Sigma said for me.

"We'll the care taker of the orphanage is a fat ass who is strict and never even let us play outside. I was really the only one who snuck out. The other kids didn't want to get in trouble" she said finishing her pancakes. I was eating my pancakes while she was talking.

When we were done we both had learned a bit more about each other. I don't really like many things including people. But this 14 year old girl is now one of my favorites.
