Chapter 675 - Reliable

"Rainbow, where's Ruby?"

"...DeathPetal, you can let me down right here."

"Rainbow, I saw you two take off, but why only one is back?"

"Lin."

"Rainbow?"

"Evander!!!

…Kids.

…Everyone.

I cannot one hundred percent tell you for certain that Ruby is coming back.

Nor any person that steps out these doors. Once you step in, you'll be hunted the moment you step out."

"Rainbow, you're not making any sense, What are you talking about? What happened? Is everything ok?"

"...No....everything is not ok.

'Can't be in two places at once, Guardian.

This is what's going to happen to every...single...Rogue who crosses your school from now on. We'll keep a Hunt out....You should to.' "

"Oh no."

"Uhhhhh….I just remembered something. I gotta go...make sure my fur babies at home are also safe. I know we shouldn't take them as…..okay. Bye."

"Wait. Evander, if we stay together then we can….."

"I gotta go too."

"Care…..where are you going? Please come back. I'm sorry. I'm…

…Don't leave me too, Darius. I don't want to be all here alone."

"I'm...…Sorry.

Kids my own age, Rainbow. I...…We're now being Hunted because we're different? Will the Majority stop at nothing? That's just.....that's just....I need some time to think."

"Darius, not you two. We....we can….here. Help me move this board. We can still figure something out. I mean…..Ruby put up the defense Forcefield. So that should help?

Darius?

….Darius?"

"It's ok, Rainbow. Tell us what to do, and we'll do it."

"It's not the same."

"........Laphate, you Biggen.

I didn't think you had it in you."

"Just wanted to prove that I am one of you."

"And that…..you have. You certainly have, but we need to seal it off.

Fresh made Patty while you were out. Care for a bite?"

"Uhhhh….."

"How will someone not toast his own victory? Go on…...just a little sample.

Fine. I'll eat him my….aaahh…I mean….it.....myself.

*Aaaaahhhoowwuuuchhhhmmmmmm….Mmmmm...Mmmm….Mmmmm.

I don't think the Chef cooked it all the way through. You can still see some of it running down my chin, but that's ok. That's what Napkins are for."

"You're a Monster."

"No, Laphate. You.....are the monster. And now that you have proven that....any hope of reconnection...is now gone."

"Huuuuu.

You….."

"Don't worry. No harm will befall him.

Can't say the same for the others."

"What will you do?"

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

"The doors open. We're just in the Kitchen redecorating our....oh…Darius, it's you."

"So, I am glad you are here. Any chance you invited any of your friends over? Oh, what the hell. Invite them all over to our.....house….warming....party!!!!!!!

Ummm, Darius. I said Housewarming party. Balloons, candles, festivities, games...lunchin...…food....what could.....hey, where are going? I thought you could help me with the…"

"I'm going upstairs to bed."

"Darius, we moved here not just for you….but for all of us. To make new friends; old and new. Bring them together, and…."

"If you find any, tell them I'm out."

"Darius, that's no way to…"

*Slam*

*Ding*

".....Cookies are done, and ooh…ohh…aaahh…acsshhh….hot."

"Thanks. I'll take one up to him."

"Wait, be careful. He's just trying to step out more. Please hurry before he goes back into his shell."

"Hun, he's our son….not a Turtle...or any Nature type creature."

"....I'm not a Creature, Rainbow. I'm Theresa. Please don't say you forget who I was?"

"Theresa, I know who you are, but others don't. I think it would be best if all of you just stayed in here where it's safe."

"So the Hunters don't get us?

..*Huummpph*

I'd rather take my chances."

"But I won't."

"Hey…..let me go you big meany ugly bear. I have my rights."

"Yeah, the right to remain silent, and to the right for speech; but not the right to use that for stupid things."

"But what about my Wolf Pack? They need me. I have to go check in on them."

"...I'm sorry Wolfgirl."

"But you said you didn't see them. So how do you know that….I have to make sure."

"Fine. We'll check to see if they're gone...…but I'm not going to put any of you in the line of fire."
