Some are born into family, others are accepted into it

"Why did you run away?" Raven asked. She was still in pain but her curiosity fought it off.

"Because I was there when my adopted father killed my parents. He even said their names, just so I would know."

I took a deep drink of the whiskey, and sat down.

"Like I could stay with those people after that.

[Raven Hayashi]

Raven sat back down. "It's always good to know your parents, I never knew mine" She said smiling weakly.

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

"I didn't really know mine, either. I didn't know what they looked like, until that day."

I sighed, and put the bottle of whiskey down on the counter.

Raven collapsed to her knees. "Still a bit dazed" she said softly. Getting to her feet once again "Do you know of any where I can stay for the night?" she asked.

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

"Well, you can go ahead and sleep there, if you want. Not like I get people coming over, or anything."

I thought about it, and I nodded again.

"Just don't try to walk too far. You'd probably collapse, as you are."

[member="Raven Mulds"]

 

[Raven Hayashi]

Raven nodded "Thanks" she said again. She couldn't think very well. She looked to her wrist mounted comlink, "Is rather late..." She started to say.

[Malachite the Shoki]

"Don't worry about it."

I picked my whiskey up, and started drinking again.

"Hopefully, most of the minor stuff will go away."

[member="Raven Mulds"]

 

[Raven Hayashi]

"Yeah, hopfully" She weakly spoke, her eyelids kept closing.

Unable to continue, she collapsed to the floor in a deep sleep.

"You collapse in ironic ways."

I picked the girl up, put a blanket back over her, and left her on the couch to sleep a bit.

[member="Raven Mulds"]

 

[Raven Hayashi]

Raven awoke. It was early, really early.

She could barely remember the night before. Her cuts and bruises had cleared up. Raven stood up, the blanket slithering to the ground. She walked around. She rubbed sleep out of her eyes.

She tried to remember what happened:

She was attacked she didn't know why. Then someone helped her. The rest was a blur.

I woke up, stretching and accidentally setting my hair on fire. Oh, well. I left my hair to its own devices, and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. At the sight of the girl sitting on the couch, I almost shouted. But then I remembered why she was here. I waved at her, and kept walking into the kitchen, talking over my shoulder.

"D'you want something to eat? I've got bacon, and steak, and eggs, and stuff."

[member="Raven Avachei"]

 

[Raven Hayashi]

Raven shook her head "No thanks I'm right." she said. "Why did you help me?" she asked. She was stiff and moving around was painful.

(Sorry thought I had posted)

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

I shrugged, and kept cooking. The bacon was making me really hungry.

"There's too few of us left on Crystalsong for me not to. Plus, I had to eat. Those guys were Force Sensitive, even if they didn't know it."

(No problem. I thought you had, too )

[member="Raven Avachei"]

 

[Raven Hayashi]

Raven stroked her jaw. "Do you still have some of them left?" she asked. She also needed to feed on a force sensitive person.

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

I pointed at what I'd dubbed my 'dead people closet'.

"There's dead people in there."

I winked and kept flipping my bacon in the pan.

[member="Raven Avachei"]

 

[Raven Hayashi]

Raven looked into the 'closet' She took one of the hands and cut it off by the wrist with some difficultly. She sat at the table and started to eat the hand. "Is there anyway I can repay you?"

[member="Malachite Avachei"]

 

[Malachite the Shoki]

I shrugged, thought about it, and then shook my head.

"You wouldn't know it from my apartment, but I'm richer than half the planet. And I can hold my own in a fight. I don't want you getting hurt like that again on my account."

I flipped the bacon into the air, caught it on my plate, and sat down in front of the girl, just pulling strips of bacon off the plate with my fangs.
