Dren's P.O.V.
Being human again was nice. Warmth spread through me. The sun bathed my skin perfectly. It was as if I was reborn. I ran to Ghoul and hugged him tightly. My beautiful children ran to me with smiles on their innocent faces. We ran from the others. We live out in Zone 2. Hidden from the world. We are doing very well here. The methane skies are much nicer here. As night fall came I geared up after they fell asleep. Fully clothed in black and I ran my way to Zone 4. I hid right outside of the hotel district. The lights were quickly going out and Acid Angel emerged from the 2nd floor of hotel 5. She ran to me. She was also dressed in all black. A black bar painted across her eyes like mine. At night I was not Dren. I was Soul Ripper. Acid was Dead Sun. "Come on Ripper. We've got stuff to do." She ran past me and I followed her. "Sun wait. How is the family?" She stopped and turned. "They well they are getting better. We lost Bats and Death in a gun fight. Kobra is upset and Jet is trying to understand why Ritalin hasn't returned. I can't tell him that his wife has surrendered to the Drac army. She had to so Sky would live. Venom became sick and died. We miss him very much. Neonic is upset and we are barely making it. Why don't you come home?" She huffed between a few words, but managed to say what she needed to. "Because. We left to hide. We can't go back. I'm sorry for the losses, but we can't go back. How's Party?" Last time I saw Party he was crying. Misery had been taken by Dracs and brutaly forced to change. She, too, is now the enemy. "He wants you home. All we have now is Kobra, Party, Jet, Me, Neonic, Toxic, and the kids, Sky, Riot, and Rose." Neonic had named her daughter Venom Rose. Strong name for a strong girl. "What about Neon Revenge and Smokey? I heard they are with ya'll now." I only faintly remember the two killjoys we rescued. "Yeah we have them and a new girl. Crushed Dreams. Party only talks about you. That's it. She wants to meet you now. He makes you sound like a hero even though your not much of one." "I am a hero! I only save your ass every time it needs it." I playfully hit her shoulder and she smiled. "Well at least come visit us Ripper. We are still family." She turned and ran and I followed. We stayed out running through the Zones. I bid her fare well and promised a visit. I went to Zone 2 and made my way to bed. I got a few hours of sleep and was woken by Ghoul smiling at me. "Come on." I smiled and pulled him up to his feet. "Riddle. Snake. come on we're going to visit auntie Acid." I smiled and ghoul pulled me aside. "You were out again last night. Where do you keep running off to?" "I just go out to walk." I smiled and kissed him. We ate our breakfast and got in the Monster Killer (Our Jeep wrangler that we got from a Raid few weeks back.). We quickly made it to the hotel district. Party ran out and greeted me with a loving hug. A warm smile on his face. He finally let go and I walked inside. A girl stood and stared. She was my height. Her hair was brown and her eyes were enchanting. Her colors were dark, but you could tell that her soul was bright. "Hi I'm Crushed Dreams." She smiled a beautiful smile. I stared for a moment and found my voice. "Dren" I smiled. Ghoul came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. The kids ran by and went upstairs. "Hi you must be Dreams. I'm Ghoul." He shook her hand and she smiled.
Dreams P.O.V.
I have only been here a short time. It was nice having a family to run to. I sat minding my own business and a girl walks in. She's my height and her hair was cut short and familiar. Like Frank Iero's revenge hair. I loved it. Her eyes were a pale blue. Her skin was a light white. She was quite beautiful. "Hi I'm Crushed Dreams." I smiled. She stood for a moment and shook her head as if a thought came that she didn't like. "Dren" Is all she said. A man a little taller than her walked through the door. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed the side of her head making her blush. "Hi you must be Dreams. I'm Ghoul." He smiled and offered his hand. I politely shook it and smiled nervously. Party stood by my side and created conversation. Dren grabbed my arm and we walked into one of the rooms. She locked the door and pushed me against it. "Why are you familiar?" She said through her teeth. Her blues eyes searching my soul. "I was about to ask you the same question" I said shyly. She took a step back and blushed a little. "Sorry. I just...You look like somebody I use to know..." Her voice trailed off and something came over me. I placed both of my hands on her cheeks and kissed her softly. She seemed shocked by it so I released. "I remember..." She whispered. I remembered too. It was 8th grade. We were best friends and one day we kissed. That kiss sent us into a heart felt relationship that ended in disaster. "I won't tell if you don't...." I nodded and she walked past me "Its good to see you Rebecca." She vanished after that. I sat down and tried to gather up my memories. It was the best relationship I had. It's going to be hard to see her with Ghoul. I'll deal with it though. I stood and walked into the living room. "HEY GIVE THAT BACK!" I heard Dren yelling. "Come get it short stuff!" Party held Dren's pocket knife high above his head. "FINE!" Dren jumped and grabbed Party's arm and bit it hard. "OW" Party yelped and Dren grabbed her knife. "Thank you" She smiled and walked away only to be tackled by Kobra. "We missed you chibi!" He laughed and she fought to get released. Soon Jet joined in the wrestling and fighting and I just stood back and laughed. Then everyone fell silent as the sirens blared outside. "Dracs....EVERYBODY HIDE" Dren yelled and took her position at the front door. She opened the door and aimed. I watch through the window. She fired four shots and didn't miss. 2 Dracs fell. Dead. She stormed out firing shots with great precision. I followed her. I fired my weapon. Dracs began piling around the complex. "SMOKEY!" Neon yelled and I glanced. Smokey had a shot through his leg. "SHIT!" Dren yelled and I noticed a shot scrapped her arm. Wasn't that deep, but I'm sure it hurt like hell! I got down behind the car and continued firing. Dren slung herself around the other side. "It's the SCARECROW unit. There's about 50 of 'em. Keep your head down." She pulled her mask down over her face and kissed my cheek. She stood and began firing again. I watched in awe. Her movements were so precise. I stood and planted my feet. I fired shots and killed a few. My patience decreased. I kept firing and felt and arm around my neck. The Drac choked me and placed a towel over my face and I soon blacked out.
Dren's P.O.V.
I kept firing. I stopped and glanced around looking for Ghoul. He was on the ground in severe pain. Party was at his side, so I didn't worry. I looked around for Dreams. A Drac had her around the neck. Her limp body dangled from his arm as he shot at me. I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, but I fired back and hit him in the eye. He released her and they both collapsed to the ground. Acid ran to her and got her inside. I ran after her. "Acid gear up. Sun and Ripper have day duty." I smiled and went to gear up. My side was bleeding, but I had to fight through it. I put on my black skinny jeans and my black boots. I painted a black bar across my eyes and put on my black parade marcher jacket. Acid ran in. "Ready Ripper?" I nodded and followed her to the roof. We positioned ourselves just right and jumped. Floating down and landing without a scratch. We fired our black ray guns and made the Dracs afraid. Kobra ran out with his mouth opened wide. I glanced at him and we ran. I felt my shirt lift up and reveal my "Welcome To The Black Parade" tattoo. Me and Sun were bookin it. We ran far away and changed clothes. We walked home. I ran inside. I just remembered about Ghoul and Dreams. "Where is he?" I screamed out and Party shook his head. This wasn't good. I ran to him and he was struggling to breathe. "Pony please help him!" I turned and faced Pony. "Dren please we can't do anything else for him. If he dies....he dies...." Pony tried to pull me away from him. "NO I WON'T LEAVE HIS SIDE. We promised each other forever. Ghoul you promised not to leave me. So don't" I grabbed his hand and cried into his chest. "Don't leave me Ghoul." He took a deep breath and slowly began breathing normally. I smiled and felt him grip my hand. I lifted my head and moved the blood soaked hair away from his face. "Ghoul I love you." Tears kept falling and I didn't leave his side. Days went by and he was still in this state. The children had cried with me. Party made everyone leave me be. "Ghoul please don't leave me." He began breathing fast and pain seemed to strike over him because he began screaming. I held him down the best I could, but he was to strong. His arm struck me across the face and flung me across the room. He fell to the floor and screamed. Party ran him and helped Ghoul. I reached my hand to my face and felt warm blood on my fingertips. "Ghoul" Tears came from my eyes without warning. He lifted his head and looked at me. His hazel eyes were blood shot. His facial expression one of pain and grief. Mine of sorrow and worry. He stared at me for a while and the collapsed on the floor. I heard him sob and crawled next to him. "Dren..." He whispered. He placed his head on my shoulder and I let him cry.
