I should have. Can we change the subject?" Griffen asked, still feeling like she hated him.
"Sure. How was your researching at the library?" Reece asked, thankful that he wanted to change the subject.
"I found something that you might find interesting. I found the people I was looking for, and I found where your parents are. But it could be hard for you to get there."
Reece sat up straighter as he said this, because she really wanted to find her parents more than she wanted to get away from Skincrawlers.
"I don't know the exact place where they are, but their not in America, that's for sure. I think that they are in Australia in an area that isn't being used. I found a photo scanner in the electronic room in the library and I scanned the photo of your parents, and it took me to a bunch more pictures of them. it looked like they are somewhere in Australia from the other photo's that I looked at and the only reason that I think they are in Australia, is because when I looked at one of the pictures, I saw a flag and I looked the flag up and it showed that it was an Australian flag.
"And I found where my friend lives too. We can go and visit him if you still want his help. I called him too. Well, when I found his number. And let me tell you, it was really, really hard to find his number."
"Its a him?" Reece asked, groaning.
"Why? What's the matter with guys?" Griffen asked, not sure why she was groaning.
"He's a guy. Your a guy. I'm a girl. Feelings. Duh!" Reece said. "What if the same thing happens to him that happened to you?"
"What do you mean? Oh," Griffen said, finally understanding.
"Yes! What if he likes me too?" she asked, hoping he wouldn't because she didn't think she could handle another love sick friend helping her.
"I don't think he will. The last time that I saw and talked to him, he was married and happily in love. But that was like a long time ago, so I have no idea."
"What's your friend's name?" Reece asked, sighing with relief.
"His name is William Reid. I saved him from a Skincrawler that was tracking him in the middle of a small store with a owner who wouldn't even wake up because he was in a deep sleep or something like that. We've been friends ever since I saved him."
"You never told me that you saved someone from a Skincrawler. I thought we were supposed to tell each other everything," Reece said.
"Well, I'm telling you right now, aren't I?" Griffen asked.
"Okay, fine."
"Anyways, the last time I talked to him, he made a group that hunts Skincrawlers. He said it was because I saved him that he was inspired to make a group that hunts Skincrawlers. He knows his stuff, and let me tell you, he knows probably more than I do right now."
"Is he all human?" Reece asked.
"Yes."
Suddenly, Monika burst through the door, her eyes wide with fright and her face showed it all.
Griffen got up and walked over to her. "What's the matter?"
"You'll probably want to sit down. When I went over to your house, Reece, I thought I was going to get attacked by a Skincrawler, but it turns out, he was turned into a Skincrawler!" Monika said excitedly.
"What?" Both Reece and Griffen said at the same time, both shocked.
"How is that even possible?" Griffen asked.
"He said that he was bitten by one once and he just turned into one, one day and the Skincrawler that bit him brought him to his Clan where they live," Monika said in a rush.
"Oh, my God!" Reece said, almost getting out of the bed, but forgot that the only thing she had on was a towel, which she took off and had stuffed under the covers when she was under them. "You mean, this Skincrawler was once a human and had gotten bit by one and then shown him the place they live? What else did he tell you? Why did he tell you?"
"He just came up to me and was all like, 'I won't kill you, its gross' and then he told me that he wanted to help you, Reece because he saw that a Skincrawler had gotten inside of you. Did that thing bite you?" Monika asked.
Reece looked down, and pulled the covers over her more better because she was naked and nodded. "I think he did. What does it mean?"
"The Skincrawler said that he thinks you will end up like him if you don't get help. He wants to help you, but he thinks you won't trust him."
"Why would he come to you, then, Monika?" Griffen asked, trying not to see that Reece was losing her color in her face again.
"See, I asked him that too, and he said because I was only human and that he didn't think that you guys would believe him and that you would try to kill him."
"A Skincrawler was in my house. Oh, my God," Reece squeaked out. "In my house."
"Well, he really isn't a Skincrawler though, Reece," Monika said, sitting on the edge of the bed next the Reece, setting a hand on hers.
"I don't care. I don't want anyone in my house!"
Monika finally realized that she wasn't dressed. "Why didn't you get dressed?" Monika asked, looking at Griffen, who turned around so she wouldn't see him blush.
"I'll tell you later," Reece said, grabbing the damp cold towel from underneath the covers.
"Oh, I see. Did you have to in my room?" Monika asked, taking it totally wrong.
"What?" Reece said, snapping out of her thinking. "We were not doing what you think we were doing. I was in shock because I almost died in the bathroom and Griffen found me in there with a towel around me and brought me into here because he knew I needed to be warm. That's all that happened," Reece said, not about to tell her that they kissed, twice.
"Okay I thought it was something more. But okay. I'll let it slid. Hey, what's this?" Monika asked, moving her hair out of the way to see what was on Reece's neck.
"Umm, I can breath underwater. These are gills," Reece explained.
"No way! Is that even possible?" Monika asked.
"It is," Griffen said.
"Cool! How did you get them?" Monika asked, looking at the gills that had formed on her neck.
"I don't know," Reece said.
"Can we talk about something more important right now?" Griffen asked.
"Okay, finish telling me about William," Reece said, glad he wanted to change the subject.
"Who's William?" Monika asked.
"Someone that is going to help us," Griffen said, not really wanting to answer her questions.
"Huh? I thought that I was helping you guys!" Monika huffed.
That was the last straw for Griffen. "Look, we really don't want your help, okay? Your just getting in the way and we really don't need your help or even want it for that matter. In fact, I can't stand you!" Griffen screamed in her face.
Monika was shocked. "What? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you wouldn't listen to us in the first place because you wee too caught up in the fact that no one wants to be your friend!" Griffen yelled, shaking his head at her.
"Oh, I see," Monika whispered, looking at her hands in her lap. "I guess your right. You never even wanted me."
"Yes! I've been trying to tell you that for the past ten years it seems like! So, if your going to leave us, then just walk out the door and don't come back," Griffen said.
Monika looked up from her lap and said, "I don't have to leave if I don't want to. This is my house, and I will leave when I feel like it. And I don't have to if Reece doesn't want me to, and she doesn't right, Reece?" Monika said, pointing her finger at Griffen, making him back up a step. Reece didn't answer. She couldn't. "Reece?" Monika turned to look at Reece, who wouldn't look at her in the face or eyes. "You agree with him?"
She still didn't say anything, she just kept looking at her lap, tears falling onto the covers she was still covered by.
"No. You just said all of that to make me quite crying earlier today, weren't you?" Monika asked, getting red on her dark face. Reece barely got out a "yes". "I cannot believe what I am hearing right now. I tried and I am trying to help you, and you don't even want my help. I guess you don't want to know where the Skincrawlers lair is do you? Because the Skincrawler that talked to me told me where it was and now that you don't want or need my help, then I guess you'll just have to figure it out on your own, now won't you?"
Reece looked up at Monika for the first time that Griffen even brought it up and narrowed her eyes at her. "I don't really give a fugging deal where their layer is. I can find out by anyone if I want to. All that I am trying to do right now is find my real parents and figure out what to do after that. I just want a normal life, without any people with powers or anything like that. And I have to agree with Griffen that-even though I do like you as a friend, Monika-I think that you are getting in the way. You don't understand what is going on, and you surely don't know what we are going though," Reece said, holding back tears that wanted to escape her eyes again.
Monika didn't know what to say. She didn't think that she was getting in the way, but as she thought about it, she was getting in the way, and she sure didn't know much about them or what they are, even if Reece and Griffen had explained it to her.
"Your right. I am getting in the way, and I don't know much about what's going on. So, if this is your choice, I won't stop you from choosing. But if you choose to not have my help, then I am going to have to ask you to leave," Monika said, not looking at them as she motioned to the door.
Reece knew that this would be the last time she talked to Monika face to face because she didn't think that her life would ever go back to the way it was, because she knew it wouldn't.
Griffen looked at Reece, then at Monika and back at Reece again. "So..."
"I think that we need to leave, Griffen," Reece whispered, shifting uncomfortably in the bed, remembering that she was naked and she couldn't get out of the bed until they left and let her. "And I have to ask you, Monika, did you get the things I asked for?"
Monika nodded. "Yes, the things are in the bathroom, where I thought you were, but you weren't in there, and I found you in here, talking or whatever to Griffen. I'll get them, because I can see you can't get out of my bed without showing some things I don't think you want to especially in front of him," she said, pointing her thumb over her shoulder at Griffen, who coughed uncomfortably and looked away from both of them.
"Yeah, your right. Oh, and Monika?" Reece asked before Monika could walk out the door.
"Yes?" Monika asked, turning around, hoping that Reece would change
