I left the hospital the moment I heard the doctor say that Cristoff would be okay. Both Izzy and Eva wanted to talk me, tell me that they were still my friends and my past doesn't change anything. But I didn't want to talk, I don't want to hear the sympatheic tones as they comfort me and say that it doesn't matter what I did in the past. Because

I hear someone calling for Anya, from the back where I am getting out boxes or candles to restock the shelves. I pile up the boxes in my arms and go upfront. "Anya's isn't here right know. She's in England." I can't see who I am talking to yet.

Setting the boxes down, "Is there something I can help you with?" I turn and look at him, kind of surprised. He looks familiar and I can't remember from where. I tilt my head to the side looking at him trying to figure out how I know him.

A dark-haired teenage girl walks out from the back. Her arms are full of boxes and before I can offer to help her, she sets them down. She looks at me sort of surprised and tells me that Anya is in England. I swear, what the hell is up wtih that country to make everyone want to go there?

"Well I was hoping that Mr. Giles left behind some of his books about demon and..." i trail off as I see her nametag on her shirt. Theresa Trejo. Plain as day. I stare at her, she looks so much like the girl I remember, but that is fricking impossible. I mean I know the world is that small, but jesus christ.

"Fucking hell this has been a weird night," I say in awe before I could stop myself. She's going to think I'm nuts, I mean the chances of her even remembering me is going to be so slim.

I know I am being rude cause I am staring at him. He's asking if Mr.Giles left any books on demons, and then he looks at me like he knows me. And saying something about it being a weird night. "Heh, it's been a weird life. Doesn't show any signs of changing." For some reason my hand goes to the cross at my neck. I was gonna take it off, but I felt like I shouldn't, I figured I wasn't ready yet.

I try to shake away the rudeness that is me. I smile a little, "I'm sorry. you were asking about some books? Anything specific in mind. Mr. Giles has a lot of them. Even with him bringing half of them to England."

I watch as her hand goes to the cross she's wearing around her neck. Yep, thats the cross alright, I couldn't forget it anywhere. That is definatly her. "Yeah it has been," I say in agreement about life being weird. No truer words have been spoken.

I shake my head. I wish there was something specific. "No, nothing. Just something is wrong with a friend of mine, and it seems to be of the supernatural cause. I want to know if there's some sort of demon that can do that to him," yeah, I didn't sound like a moron there.

Unable to keep my eyes off her. Its her, after all these years. I honestly thought I would never see her again. I had to know if she remembered me at all. I mean it was hard for me to forget her, she did turn my world upside down. "Look, tell me if I'm wrong, but you don't happen to remember me do you? Four years ago? The name Yuffie Snapdragon?"

Easy? Heh, yeah pretty far from it. They were the only people that i had known back then to treat me as a person, or at least how much I knew how a person got treated. Truth be told, i was merely just a tool to them, some kid that had a neato knack to teleport. When she says I could of gotten hurt, I shrug. I sorta lost everything I had spent my years trying to gain, not to mention got a curse put on me making it impossible for me to aim right. "I did a bit, but I got off light." No need to tell her the details

Looking down, he's giving the sugar coated version, I know it was probably not good. He risked himself for me and probably had a sucky time at life for it. "I'm sorry."

"If you're sure I won't get anyone in trouble, I'd really like that." Having a place to live without having to be a burden or a worry to anyone else would be cool. I could afford a place but I didn't think anyone would rent to a minor. "Thank you."

"You know, I call or they call once a week to check in. I could call, nonchalantly pick Giles brain, maybe he could cut our searching time in half if I sort of ask him where to look. Or maybe he's already had to deal with something like this. It could be worth a shot."

[the23rdevil]

Somedays I just don't people I swear. "Sorry for what?" She didn't know any better, I couldn't exactly give her a choice back then.

I shrug. Who would get me into trouble? Rhia would be fine with it considering she rented those apartments to the kids. "Don't worry, I'll be just fine. And you don't have to thank me okay? Its good enough that I know you'll be safe." I was a bit surprised at hearing myself say that, and to know that i actually meant it.

"Well that would be great if you did that, any help we can get will be good." Yeah I would probably hear a couple snide remarks but I didn't care, as long as we get it figured out. I'm no watcher, I don't think I could do it on my own at all.

[theresa_trejo]

shrugging a little, "Sorry that your life got mess up just for protecting me" I'm good at wrecking peoples lives, I'm a natural.

I have to smile cause he seems surprised at himself. "Are you gonna make a habit out of looking out for me? Cause really its a full time job."I know I shouldn't joke about it, but I mean if you can't joke about your near death experiences what can you joke about. Seriously, "I think I will gladly take you up on the apartment. Having a home sounds really good. And I can't not thank you, you have no idea what this means to me."

"I will do whatever I can do to help. I doubt it will be much, I'm not.. But I owe Cristoff and Eva so much, so I will do my best."
