It was cold, and lonely, even though I had Gaven right by my side, his arms still wrapped around me tight. I didn't want to fall asleep, but as it got colder, I became more tired. I finally let my eyes shut for a decent night of sleep and woke up not even an hour later to a loud bell ringing. It was the amily's alarm clock I was guessing. I stood up and climbed up the ladder that escaped the trap door, before fully coming out of the trap door I looked around, making sure no one camped over last night.

I slowly crept out and walked around, looking for thebeeping bell noise. I heard someone moan and then saw an arm reach out of a bed and hit the alarm. They have alarms here? They are clearly much richer then our land. A moment later the blanket was thrown off the bed and a teen aged girl was sprawled on the bed. I wonder if she knows her family is dead. Her make-up was smeared across her face and she had mascara all under her eyes, from my guess she had been crying.

"Excuse me?" I said quietly as the girl's eyes darted over to me. She got ready to scream but then stopped and froze, looking at my face as if I was some disformed child. "Who are you? Why are you in my house." "Uh...Your parents. They let me stay last night. Did you see what...happened?" She nodded her head. Her make-up looked like she had been gangbanged by Crayola. She snuffled and then sat up, "So. What happened to your neck?" "What...What are you talking about?" She squinted her eyes and stood up, walking over to me. She took her finger and poked my neck. "That. Did you feel it?" I shook my head, she slapped my neck. I felt nothing.

She grabbed my hand and then pulled me to what seemed to be a bathroom. I mean, it looked like a bathroom. Of course I had never had on, let alone been inside of one. There was smoke coming from a little silver contraption that had a wire connected to it. "Oh crap! I left my straightener on!" The girl yelled as she yanked the cord from he wall and blew on the "straightener."  "Is this a bathroom...?" I asked, I felt stupid. She gave me a concerning look and then nodded her head. "Yeah. And this is a toilet, a hair straightener. And a sink. We have some more stuff in that closet. Your hair is jet straight, you wouldn't need to use that." Jet straight? What does that mean? I tilted my head back and gave her a pointless, "Ha. Yeah it is."

She rolled her eyes and opened a cabnet. She pulled out a roll that had some sort of white paper that was sticky wrapped around it. "Here, this is gause. I'll put it around your neck so it won't get infected." I shoved her hand back and looked in the mirror. There was a huge cut. "Why can't I feel it?" "It might have gotten some of your nerves, causing you no pain." But what if I wanted to feel the pain? I didn't like how I couldn't feel it. It made me feel unsafe. I heard footsteps coming to the bathroom, I could see Gaven in the mirror. "Hi Gaven. This is one of their kids." He didn't respond, he only looked down and nodded.

"Haha. Don't be shy! Come here, your sister has got a bad cut on her neck." Gaven looked at the girl like she was crazy, "What? She isn't my sister damn it! She's my girlfriend." I gave Gaven a sharp look for his rudeness, not that he cared. "Well, excuse me mister. God." She kicked the cabnet and glared at Gaven and then murmured something unpleasant. "What's your name?" I asked. She didn't look up, only continued to mess with my neck. "Ryly. My little sisters were twins, the one that was wearing the white night gown was Henrietta and the one with the green was Henriette." "Oh." I said, "What are you doing to my neck?" "Stiching it. With a needle and some thread. I was in medical school."

"What's medical school?" Gaven stepped into the convorsation and decided he would answer my question, "It's where they learn how to take care of people. My mother grew up here and she went to medical school. And...Is this a bathroom?" Ryly laughed and nodded her head, "Yes silly! Where did you guys live? It must've been pretty poor huh?" "Chelle. With The Watchers?" Ryly looked at me with death in her eyes. "My father killed a little boy there. Him and his father decided to hunt in our field." I almost asked her who before I realized it had to be Ferris and my dad. "That...That was...My older brother and my dad." Ryly covered her mouth, "I am so sorry..." I shook my head and swallowed, "It's fine. Really." She nodded and then began wrapping gause around my neck. Then, she stopped and cut it off.

She reached under the cabinet and pulled out a smaller brown piece of something, "Here, this is a bandage. It's like gause, only better." She peeled off some wrappers that covered it and then stuck the sticky surface of it to my neck. Pressing it on with no force. "So. Do you have Watchers on your case?" "Yes. Gaven's older brother called them on me after we started dating. Three years ago, they beat me every time they can. Gaven's oldest brother and sister Lucy and Thomas are Watchers. They're twins. After his mother was murdered Thomas and Lucy had to be Watchers." Ryly frowned, "Wait. Lucy and Thomas Teeteour?" Gaven nodded his head, "Why, you know 'em?" He muffled through his shirt. "Yeah man! We use to hang all the time when we were real little! Dude! I dated Thomas once! Then after first grade you guys moved away."
