what to do, even if she knew that that is what was going to happen when she first joined William's group.
"Aww, Reece. I like you too!" Evernime said, laughing.
Everyone laughed for a few seconds because it felt good to laugh instead of cry.
Reece looked back to see Creon still standing behind them. He was staring at Monika's grave.
"Creon? We are leaving now," Reece said, stopping so that he could catch up with them.
Creon said something quickly to her grave and then turned to leave.
Suddenly, Reece saw a figure out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head to see what it was and saw Monika standing next to Creon.
"Monika?" Reece asked.
William looked at her, then where Reece was looking, but saw nothing but Creon moping.
Creon looked up when he heard Reece say his wife's name.
"Hi, Reece!" Monika said and ran up to her, hugging her.
William stood, grounded to the spot he was standing on, confused. Reece had just hugged nothing.
"Monika, I am so sorry for what happened to you. Who did this to you? And why?" Reece asked.
Monika sighed heavily. "It was Erone and Roney. You know, Creon's creators. They were looking for Creon and I told them that I wasn't going to tell them anything, so they killed me. Now they are after Creon because Creon betrayed them. I'm the one who should be sorry. I hated you so much after what you did to me, but now I don't because I know that it was an accident. You didn't mean to. I wanted revenge because of you."
"I'm sorry. We shouldn't have been on that balcony then. But we cannot change what has already happened. I wish you were still here. Creon misses you every second."
Monika nodded and looked at Creon. "I wish I can show myself to him, but only Necromancers can see me, no matter what I do to make him see me. I want you to tell him that we were going to have a little girl."
Reece smiled and looked at Creon, who was breathing heavily as he watched Reece talk to nothing.
"Creon, Monika told me to tell you that you were both going to have a little girl," Reece said, still smiling at him.
William put his hand behind his head and said, "Are you talking to someone, Reece?"
Reece turned to him and smiled. "Didn't you know that I am a Necromancer?"
William blinked a few times. "I wish you would tell me these things before they happen, Reece. You scare me sometimes."
Reece laughed and looked back at Monika, who was also laughing. "He's cute. Where did you get him, Reece?"
"Las Vegas," Reece said. She leaned over to Monika and whispered in her ear, "We are going to marry once all of this is over."
Monika pulled back and squealed. "Oh, my goodness! I wish I was alive right now. We should have had this talk a long time ago."
Reece sighed. "I'm so sorry that I never did before. I know I ignored you, and I shouldn't have. I'm sorry."
"You don't need to keep apologizing. I know how sorry you are. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, so if you want, we can hang out some time when your not trying to get rid of those brother's Erone and Roney," Monika said, putting her hands on Reece's shoulder.
They laughed for a minute or so, then quieted down. "Well, I will let you get on your way, after all, you still have to save the world from those two. Oh, and one more thing. You might want to watch out for a couple of teenagers named Killian and Kyle Rodgers. They are like Erone and Roney's right hand men. They can trick you into doing whatever they want you to do, so watch out, Reece."
Reece nodded and hugged her again, watching as Monika disappeared.
Creon slowly walked up to Reece, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Did she say anything else?"
Reece looked at him and shook her head.
"Nothing else?" Creon asked, bowing his head.
Reece shook her head, feeling sorry for him. "No, sorry, Creon. She didn't say anything else other than to watch out for Killian and Kyle."
"That's what I was trying to tell Evernime, but she wouldn't listen. I wish she was here right now," Creon said.
"She is. She is," Reece said, taking William's hand as she walked into town.
"Wait," Creon said.
Reece turned. "What?"
"I know where the Skincrawlers layer is, so do you want to go like we planned?" Creon asked.
Reece and William exchanged a look between each other.
"Yes, I think we do. We should get this over with. What do you think, Evernime?" Reece asked, twisting around to look at Evernime.
She looked up at Reece. "I agree. I want to get this over and done with. If we don't get it over and done with now, those maniacs could do something to us and then we won't be able to save anything."
Everyone agreed.
"So where is it?" Reece asked, waving her arms around her.
"In Texas. Out in the middle of nowhere. Its so well hidden that only Skincrawlers can get into it. The only reason that Killian and Kyle got into it was because a Skincrawler showed them the way. At first, they told me they wanted to get out, but didn't know how, but then a month or so later, they totally changed and then they didn't want to get out. I think that Erone and Roney changed them somehow," Creon said.
"Texas?" Evernime asked. "How many different places are we going to in one day?" She held her hands up in the air and groaned.
"We can't help it. We are basically on the run right now. If I don't leave here, then the cops will bring me in and ask me a bunch of questions that I know I cannot answer. They would put me in a padded cell if I told them the truth," Reece said.
"Can't we stop for at least a day and just sleep? Ever since you came here, everything has been do this and do that and don't disobey Reece. I am tired and I want to sleep. That's all I want to do," Evernime said.
"The only reason you don't want to do anything is because you can't stand to see me and Reece together, can you, Evernime?" William asked, pointing his finger in her face. She backed up a foot and frowned.
"William. Please. I don't want to lose another friend. Fighting solves nothing. We can stop for the night somewhere and sleep. I know that we all are tired and need some sleep. I know that I haven't been a very good guest when I first came here. Its the least I can do to help out," Reece said, her hand on William's shoulder, letting him know that he needed to back up.
William did, sighing. "Your right. We do need some sleep. But where are we going to stay? I mean, we probably couldn't stay at your place. Police are probably all over it and if we mess anything up, then they would think that you did it. And I don't want you to have to keep paying for a hotel that we don't even stay in, so..."
Reece thought about what he was saying. He was right. The cops would hunt her down until they found her and brought her in for questioning. And they shouldn't stay in a hotel because they had to keep leaving.
Then she got an idea. "There is a small shack outside of the other end of town we can go to. Its where I met Griffen. I don't think that the cops know where it is or that its even there. Its burnt, but it will keep us safe."
"I don't see why not," William said, waiting for Evernime and Creon to agree.
"Okay, but if there is anything that will make us have to move again, then I am leaving," Evernime said, shaking her head. They probably would have to move anyways again.
"Creon? You up for a nights sleep?" William asked.
Creon nodded and walked past them. He did want to sleep. He needed to think about what he was doing. He didn't want to give up the exact location of the Skincrawlers' layer, but he knew that if he didn't, then the world would be doomed. He just hoped that if they talked to them, they would listen to them and give up. But he knew that Erone and Roney would never give up. They are to fixated on doing what they think is best for them and the world. If Erone and Roney succeeded, then the world would be more than doomed.
Erone and Roney are not the type to give in. They would rather die than give up to a group of silly people head-strong people with supernatural powers. They would fight till death, and they would probably win, too.
The four walked the whole town. They walked around while Reece told them who lived where and where her restaurant was and the library Griffen had been to. The sign outside of the library still said closed for the day, and it probably would still say that until someone else came by and opened the place back up.
They finally reached the small shack, which looked as if someone had burned it. It had warped downwards on the roof, making the front of it look like an evil frown looking down upon them.
"Well, this is it," Reece said, opening the door. She winced when the door squeaked and moaned. "I think that I should go in there before you guys."
"Why? I'm tired, Reece!" Evernime wined.
"Just because. Hold on for just a minute. I'll be right back," Reece said, letting go of William's hand reluctantly. She walked in and closed the squeaky door that was barely on the hinges and looked around. It looked like everything had been changed around.
"What the hell?" a familiar voice said.
"Griffen?" Reece asked, peeking around a corner. She saw Griffen laying on a bed, his shirt off, eating Chinese food.
"Reece?" Griffen looked up from him food and smiled. "I knew that you would show up back here. You can't stay away from this place, can you?"
"Yeah, right," Reece said sarcastically. "Why are you back here?"
"I have no where to go, so where was I supposed to go? You have some place to live, so why are you here?" Griffen asked, the smile fading from his face.
"For your information, I do not have a place to live. If I was to go to my house, then the police would be on my tail in an instant. I cannot go back there. I have no where to go."
"Why didn't you just use your money from your safe to buy a new one?" Griffen asked, scoffing.
Reece frowned, her eyebrows winkling. "Griffen, what's wrong with you? The only reason that I came back here is because everyone thought that something was wrong with Monika, and it turns out that she was murdered! That is the only reason that I am back."
"Let me guess: William is with you, right?" Griffen said, throwing his unfinished food onto the floor next to some other food.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Reece asked, her hands clenching and unclenching.
Griffen grinned. "Oh, nothing. But he sure likes to follow you around all the time though. I'm surprised that he hasn't asked you to marry him."
Reece's face turned red with anger. "You are a cruel person. I don't even know you
