   It wouldn't send so here it is
Note: Lizzy, please make sure no one is around while reading this, if you're even reading this at all.



(I'll do our main clothing in a few parts. You're in your pajamas now and I don't even think my clothes match so yeah....)
(I didn’t really have any intention of killing Cody. The explosion was a distraction.)
(YOUKO IS DEAD?!)
(…and Jessica doesn’t talk much. Sort of laconic.)

Despite both Tim and Angela’s hidden distrust for the two, Samuel and Jessica proved to be more of a help than they suspected. A few miles away, they stayed in a middle-class motel, occupied by only them. The town was completely abandoned. It was a nice place, compared to living in the forest. Still, nothing had been heard from Ichigou and Grimmjow.
Tim was first to wake up the next morning. He didn’t bother to change out of the white collared, button-down shirt and gray pants that he wore to bed. He didn’t plan on going anywhere today.
He skimmed the newspaper. All the news seemed useless, nothing important. He tossed it on the table and pulled out his cell phone. For the fifth time, he tried Ichigou. Nothing.
“Tim!” He felt a soft touch to the back of his head as the cheerful voice rang through his ears. He put his head down
“Hmph….what?” He moaned.
Angela sat across fgrom him, leaning over the table. She wore a sparkled blue-cream (I wore this on Friday don't know how to explain it X3) shirt, with sleeves that stopped half-way down her arms, a pink vest, and slim, light-blue jeans. She frowned. “Get any sleep last night, Tim-kun?”
He scowled, looking up. “No.”
Angela forced a small smile, but pulled her ears back in concern. “Hey….I;m going out with Samuel today, okay?”
“Whaddya mean, goin’ out?”
“Just out.” She stuck out her tongue. “Not a date. I want to get to know him better.
Tim stretched and walked over to the sink.
“Whatever.” Tim groaned, splashing water over his face. He ran his fingers through his thick brown hair. “Just listen for Ichigou or Cody if they call.”
Angela leaned back in her wooden chair, only the wall keeping it from falling backwards.
“You know,” She said, her voice now in a low whisper, “I don’t trust them either. But if we show that….who knows? We just need…be careful, is all.”
“So you’re going out alone with him.” Tim growled, “Real smart.”
Angela shot him a look that he couldn’t decipher. He couldn’t reply, because Samuel strolled in, yawning noisily.
“Mornin’,” He said, stretching. He punched Tim playfully on the shoulder. “get enough sleep, man? You don’t look so hot.”
Tim glanced at him, but Samuel had already looked the other way, his expression dreamy, like he was off in is own little world. Tim ignored him and walked to the living room. “I’m watching TV.”
Samuel flashed a smile, showing off his sharp canine teeth. He slipped out of the heavy sweater (the same he had been wearing yesterday) to reveal a gray shirt, sleeves ripped off. Angela stood up beside him. “Bye, Tim, she whispered softly.

With Angela and Samuel gone, Tim relaxed on the couch for most of the morning. It was noon when Jessica finally woke up. She said nothing, only drank some water and sat down to play with her cell phone, which Tim had not seen until now.
Seeing his chance to get to know this mysterious but pretty girl, he grabbed a seat next to her. She slowly looked him, glaring at him – or maybe that’s just how she always looked.
“Hi,” Tim said, trying to smile. “I don’t think we really had a proper introduction…”
Jessica remained silent, her expression unchanging.
“….So….I’m Tim. And You’re Jessica right? Yeah….uh…”
Jessica suddenly smiled. She stood, leaned in close to Tim, and touched his cheek.
“You know what? I think I need some air. It was ncie meeting you…” She moved her fingers to his chest, “But I think you need some sleep, huh?”
“Uh….Tim began to feel sleepy.
“I think so. Now I’m going to leave. Don’t follow me, okay? Be a good boy….and just rest.” Jessica released her fingers, leaving a bruise on Tim’s chest. He collapsed onto the table, indeed asleep.
“You’re cute when you’re unconscious. Why don’t you stay like that?”
Jessica left the motel – but not before taking Tim’s cell phone from his pocket.

Angela and Samuel walked along the beach again, not far from the abandoned town, just across from the destroyed one. With them was Sakaita, Samuel’s black german Shepard, and Jason, who chased after the dog playfully. They walked farther and farther along the shore, until they came about a small grassy peninsula, steep cliffs overlooking the calm ocean below. Samuel and Angela sat on the ridge while the lynx and the dog frolicked about behind them.
Samuel then stood up, after talking awhile. “Ever wonder what it’d feel like to jump off a clidff?” He said, smiling goofily.
Angela smiled in both confusion and humor. “Not really.”
“Well…” Samuel spread his arms. “Maybe we should try!” And to angela’s shock he leaped off the cliff, into the water.
Angela leaned over in worry. “S-Samuel!”
Samuel’s black hair popped up form the surface after a long while, laughing. Anegla perked her ears in wonder.
“ha ha ha!” Samuel laughed, gazing up, “I was kidding, girl! The water’s shallow. Only ‘bout six feet deep.” He dipped into the water, then came back up again several times. He whipped around, still smiling, “Well, come on! It ain’t cold!”
Angela fingered the ridge uncertainly. “Are you sure?”
“you think I’d let ya drown or somethin’?”
“Well…” She was smiling a little now.
Samuel turned away, smirking. “Fine, but you’re missing out. I guess I’ll just swim out to nowhere, all my—“
Angela splashed in behind him – in the back of her mind knowing she could change into something aquatic anytime. This is a test, She thought to herself. If he was truly bad, he’d kill me out here. I’m vulnerable.
Samuel laughed happily, letting her get abck her breath. They were silent for a moment, just flowting in the water.
“See,” Samuel whispered, suddenly calm, “It’s fine.”
Angela sighed in agrrement. “Sorry for doubting you.”
“hey, I’d be the same way.” Samuel began to swim backwards away from her. He exhaled, gazing off into the ocean. “It’d be so cool to go out there someday. I mean, just explore. Man, that’d be tight, y’know? Get a boat or somethin’.”
“yeah….whenall of this is over.”
Samuel cast hi eyes downward, his stomach turning. His mind raced with thoughts and memories, until Angela swam in front of him, scattering them. He smiled again, but softer this time. He gazed at her in a mixture of sadness and affection.
“It’s almost one. We should get going.” He said.
“Yeah. Looks like Jason and Sakaita are ready to leave, too.”
Jason and Sakaita looked curiously over the ridge, panting. Once they all were on shore, Jason began to run around again, energy restored.
Samuel rung out his clothes. “Man. I’m soaked. You too. Sun’ll dry us off walkin’ back though.”
Angela caught up to him and they continued to back home, along the beach again.
I’ll tell her the truth. And Tim. Soon….just not now.

NEARING THE (sorry caps lock XD) Nearing the motel around evening, Samuel was surprised to find Jessica waiting outside the door, which was unusually locked. Samuel tried to walk past her, but she pulled him close.
“You’re wet.”
“So?”
“What the hell were you doing?”
Samuel jerked her hand off of him, scowling, but she dragged him from the house. Angela, along with Hajuso and Jason, were already inside.
Jessica growled, “Are you forgetting our objective here? Idiot. Where were you?”
“It’s still early. God, just cool it.”
“No. I want to get this over with. It’s annoying enough we had to drag ourselves out here, just for the trouble of a stinking motel. Stupid humans! You’re all so ignorant!”
“Calm down,” Samuel replied, not bothering to lower his voice, “It’s only been a day, you know. We’re fine. Dana said within a week.
Jessica glared at him, wide-eyed. “And you want to be stuck here this entire week?!” She hissed. “The more time we waste, the more likely these losers will catch on. We’re lucky tey even belived us when we said ‘dana is in a faraway location…”
Samuel looked away, unable to say what he was really thinking.
Jessica’s angry expression softened. ‘I ahd a feeling you’d respond this way, so I took care of half of it for you.”
Samuel looked up in curiosity.
“I used a possession spell on Tim.”
Samuel whipped around so that he completely faced her. “What?” He yelled, “And he’s in there now?! B-but, he’ll kill Angela and Jason! He’ll—“
“That’s the point, you twit! What are you so worried about?”
Samuel felt out of breath. He racked his brain for something to say, to stall, but could find nothing, so he said it straight out. “I-I’m done!”
Jessica looked cocked an eyebrow.
“I’m through with this! With Dana! I don’t want to kill people! Th-this is ridiculous!” tears were forming in his eyes.
Jessica sighed irritably. “I was afraid I’d have to resort to this.” Claws formed on her fingers.
Samuel felt dizzy. He didn’t know what to do, and before he had a chance to decide on something, Jessica stabbed him in the stomach. He was still for a moment, then fell to the ground.
Jessica looked at Samuel, then at the motel. “You were right, Dana,” she whispered, “He’s a failure.” she snapped her fingers and was gone.
~~~~~
Cody, Sherri, and Brago trudged along the rubble lining the empty streets. Cody, head down, sulked behind them, minds racing through his head. Why did Youko have to die? Why did Mia have to come? Why was dana so…frustrating?
Cody scoffed and caught up to Brago and and Sherri.
“We should look for Ichigou and Grimmjow,” brago said. “then think about Dana. This is all so messed up.”
‘What about Tim and angela? And Jason?” Sherri wondered aloud.
“Oh, they’ll be fine for now!” Brago snapped. Humans, he thought. Such a pain in the neck.
Suddenly Brago stopped. “I feel something...somethign strong. An aura.”
“I can, too,” Sherri said, Cody look up.
“Yo! Looking for some fun?” A familiar voice fileld the air around them. They looked about, and saw none other than brad and Cherry. Brad clutched his spell book tightly, Cherry standing still, a glaring at the group.
Brago cracked a small smile.
“Cherry,” He whispered, teeth clenched, “we meet again.”
~~~
After Jessica had gone. Samuel, badly wounded, dragged himself across the streets back to the motel. His eyes were filled with tears. I’m a coward, he thought to himself. A worthless, weak coward.
Just as he reached the motel parking lot, Sakaita shot out of the front door, tail between legs. He jumped atop Samuel, barking loudly, something the dog very rarely did.
“What is it, boy,” Samuel said weakly, voice raspy. Blood still streamed from his stomach. He forced himself to at least his knees, to see some guy on iCarly sporting a dress and man-cleavage, but that’s off subject, so he forced himself to knees and gazed up at the door to the motel. He heard a crash.
His senses kicked in and he remembered what Jessica had said. Samuel, heart pounding now, ran as fast as he could (which wasn‘t fast) to the door. He leaned against the screen, but could not peer in due to what looked like construction paper blocking his view.
“hey!” He pounded on the door. The commotion inside stopped, and the door slammed open, knocking Samuel to the ground.
Tim, eyes glowing red, stood before him, teeth bared in anger. Blood dripped from his hands. Sakaita whined and backed up farther away, behind Samuel.
“Oh no,” Samuel breathed.
