"By Will!" Tama screached towards the already shut door. she reached for Will's iPod and put it in her pocket, this was a challenge and she enjoyed a good one. She thought of a plan, she would engrave it with his name so he couldn't refuse! Once her plan was developed she focused on the matter at hand. Once Tama began thinking about it she began sobbing, her parents never cared enough about her to make sure they knew where she was. Her parents didn't care! By now Tama was surely bawling.
Will was to occupied with shaking and horrid thoughts for Kitty to break through. "W-what am i going to do?" he whispered softly to himself. His eyes were flared open with fear not even being bothered to be conceiled. After a moment Kitty's voice broke in to his mind snapping him awake. He flinched a little away from her. He still shook but it was lessened with her standing close like that. "S-sorry Kitty... i should just go home. Its not you guys its just... I-i dont think m-my dad will be t-to happy about t-this." He tried to chuckle but it only came out in a breathless wheeze. He stared at her directly in the eyes trying to show her all of his bottled fears.
"Oh, Will." Kitty's eyes softened once she had brought Will back to reality. "A-are you sure? Maybe you should call him first. Or I can get my Mom to call him so you don't have to talk to him." Her face soured. "If he's the one making you shake like that, I've a good mind to have a word with him."

"Everyone dies eventually. Once you are born, you begin to die."
"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Will's eyes grew even more fearful, not just for his sake but Kitty's as well. He shook his head side to side violently, "No thats fine Kitty." His heart pounded harshly in his test. "I dont really want you to meet him." Will grasped his right wrist in his left hand hoping it would calm him. Yet this time it didnt. There was no use in it. "Even if i call him now it wouldnt matter." Will's knees threatened to give out. He didnt want to go back there. HE stared at Kitty like she was the last hope in his fragile world. "I... I really... d-d..." He stopped himself befoer he finished. "I have to go." He turned and hesitantly stepped away.
"Will!" Kitty called, taking another step toward him. "Will, if you really don't want to go, stay. My mom will call, and I'm sure you can stay over. And....And...just don't go. I don't want you to go somewhere where you're so afraid of going. Just stay here...please..." She really was worried for him. Who could be such a horrible parent that they would make their kid shake for being a few minutes late?

Will stopped. His eyes filled with tears for a moment but he wiped them away as he turned around, "I... cant... I will see you tomorrow Kitty." His eyes betrayed his absolute terror. Will turned and bolted away. His long legs pumped beneath him as the blazing sun began to set in the distance. Will gasped and just sped on.
Will kept going until his house was looming in front of him. When Will opened the door softly the first thing he heard was. "Will!" The young boy cringed and slipped inside. "Get over here!" Will automatically raced in to the bare living room. Only a cloth couch sat in the corner and a small tv and tv table sat across from it. Will's large dark haired father sat on the couch with a grim expression. "Where have you been?" He sneered darkly. "I-I was at a friends house g-getting having h-her tutor me." Will shook harshly under his father stare. The large muscled man stood and stormed in front of Will. His hand reached back and lighting fast struck Will across the face. The young boy staggered back and grasped teh place his father had struck him tenderly. Will's eyes flared open wide and his throat contricted. "I'm sorry!" he pleaded desperately and his voice broke in the middle. "You know that you are to come straight home!" Will's father reached his hand back adn struck him on the other side of the face, giving him a long scar across his right cheek. "Are you stupid?!" His father boomed. The man's smoldering eyes burned holes in to Will. The young boy staggered back and felt on to his back. "It wont happen again!" Will's face was a mask of pain and horror. One that his father enjoyed seeing on his son. Will desperatly crawled away to his room and locked the door. His heart raced and he collasped to the ground. Instantly he fainted, and wouldnt wake up until the morning.
Tama stopped her crying, where was kitty? Would she be returning with Will? And most importantly: Would will be ok? all these questions fluttered about her mindas she stared at the table, eyes weary. She was lonely yet again today. She bolted out the door to chase after kitty and will. with hopes to run in the right direction, she sped off
