         The rain was pouring, making the night darker then she was used to. Water in her face and weighing down her hair made it hard to see as she and Krein walked slowly through the forest and back to the warehouse that was their home for the time being. The hunt for useful items was a success, but now getting back was the problem. She had a wing over the serpent boy as they walked.

Her body was shaking, from anger and cold, "Shane I won't let you go!!"
