• I was in Ark's room. He asked me to be there when his dad came. Ark was wearing a brown baseball hat to hide his ears and it matched his brown button down shirt. He was pacing around in his room as we waited for his dad. He kept straightening his shirt and checking the clock nervously. I was wearing a the red jumpsuit apparatus t-shirt with blue jeans and black sneakers. I had on a choker that looked like a chain. I was whatching Ark pace aound his room. "Hey!" I said. He didn't hear me, just kept pacing. "Hey!" I said, but louder. He still didn't hear me. I stood up, grabbed Ark by the shirt and yelled "Calm down, Man!" I yelled at him. "You're right. You're right. I need to calm down. I need to calm down." he said, breathing slowly. The jingle of keys came from outside the door. "Good luck!" I called, as he went outside his room to the door. "Thanks." he called back. I stayed there for a long whille. It started out with Ark's dad yelling about Ark wearing a hat than got so quiet, even me with my hihly sensitive ears couldn't hear. "You found out?...Dear God! You found out!" was the next thing I heard after a while, than it got quiet again. I sighed and started snooping through Ark's stuff for a while due to boredom. "I found a few small paintings of me, two big paintings of snow on two easels, I found his diary -didn't look in it-, and I read some of his books, mostly about artists and paintings. After I finished my 6th book, they started yelling. "I love her, dad! If you can't accept that, you're no dad of mine!" Theat was Ark. "I can't believe my own son is choosing a stupid girl over his own father!" That was Ark's dad. "Believe it! She didn't lie to me for years! She actually makes me feel like I have a reason to live! I lover her! If you can't except that than-!" his dad cut him off. "Shut up! Just shut your mout right now! No, give me your stupid little bunny ears!" I heard him grabbing for a knife "It's time to cut those disgusting thing off!" he yelled. I couldn't stay in anymore, I leaped out of Ark's room just before his dad was able to get the knife to his ears. "She was here?!" Ark's dad yelled. "Let him go!" I yelled. He let him go, and I saw an unspeakable rage and evil pass through his eyes. "Jinx!" Ark yelled warningly. Ark's dad grabbed my hair, it felt like a vacuum sucking up my hair. I yelped in pain. "Let her go!!!" Ark yelled, and Ark's dad was suddenly lying on the floor beside me, unable to get up. Ark grabbed my hand and backed me away from his dad. "It was for you....It was all for you....To keep you safe." Ark's dad struggled to say from the change in gravity. "Protect me from what?" Ark asked. "From demons like her!" Ark's dad said, briefly looking at me than turning back to Ark. "She's not a demon! I f anything, she's a god damn angel!" Ark yelled. "Not true. Rena once came here when you were born and tried to kill you." Ark's dad said. "Who in hell is Rena!?" Ark yelled. "Ask...her." Ark's dad slowly said, slowly smirking. "Rena, she was one of my protectors when I entered the organization. Along with Junko and a guy named Luneth. But, why she would want to kill you is beyond me." I told. "That's not all! That can't be all! You have to be at fault! You have to! Give me my son back! Give me my son back! Give me my son back!" he continuosly, yelled at me. "Jinx, let's go." Ark said, holding my hand, turning toward the window. It was hard looking away from those hard, ragefilled, hatefilled eyes. "Jinx." Ark whispered to me softly, and we left.

    "Where will we go?" Ark asked, the sun rising. "My hometown, I still have my house over there. No trees have been cut down either, so it'll be good for your painting." I said. "And after that?" he asked. "We can look for them. We can look for Junko, Luneth, and Rena. I have questions that need to be answered." I told. "Sounds like a plan." Ark said, and grinned is usual sexy grin. I sighed and kissed him. His lips warm and sweet, his hand carressing my back. The kiss got more intense, and more, and more....
