leith gave a smug look as he faked some tears once again.
" well......then i guess thats it....for her....huh...nerina....our parents could have been saved do you realy want to continue the chains of death?"
nerina was feeling both annoyed and tired she grunted not knowing what to say.
---------------------------------------------------------
" so birdie tell me allllllll about yourself."
she sip as she turned to coral now known as birdie.

Birdie looked down sadly. "Well... you know I'm the... time bender..."

leith grabbed nerina's arm pulling her up so she could direct.
" hurry up we don't have https://i.imgur.com/YuB1mw8.png of tim."
-------------------------------------------
she laughed birdie's introduction of herself.
" that is not what i ment."

Birdie looked down sadly. "W-Well..." She told her her past, how her parents gave her up, how she'd been living on the run, and everything with Leith and the others.

nerina started leading the way on the way she started to come up with some ideas.
" this girl is being pursued because of her powers?"
--------------------------------------------------------------
" oh my,.......maby he didn't leave you.
maby he went for help?"
she tried comforting her.

Coral looked down sadly. "But... he tried to use me... just like everyone else..." She said teary eyed. "He wanted me to freeze time for his own benefit... he didn't care how much it hurt me..."

what nerina said next worried leith, she walked at a slow pace to catch her breath.
" have you guys ever heard of the bend taker?"
leith knew where this was going and remained silent.
-----------------------------------------------------
she leaned over giving her a hug.
" im sorry....even us without powers get screwed when it comes to love.."
she leaned back down sipping her tea.
" as a matter of fact gray w-"
she was cut off when a dagger flew at her hitting the wall

Coral felt glad to have this woman here then gasped at the dagger, turning to look for it's source.
--------------------------------
Jon listened silently.

" well this guy has the ablitiy or so i'v heard to take away the ablility to bend. he is known as a villian and he is but in this case he could use his help, that's my idea what do you guys think?"
------------------------------------------------------------
she turned rolling her eyes as gray came over grabbing his dagger back
" keep your mouth shut about my buisness, we don't know this girl and we don't know what she'll do."

Birdie looked at Grey nervously and stayed meek and silent.
-------------------------
Jon shrugs. "As long as it'll keep us out of trouble I'm up for it."

nerina smiled
" that's the spirit jon."
leith didn't say anything he didn't like this idea.
the last thing he wanted was for her to lose her powers.
------------------------------------------------------------
reef sighed
" she's a person gray, don't you remember what happen to y-"
he slammed his fist on the table looking at reef
"......reef...i mean it..."
with that he walked away

Coral flinched slightly hearing this and looked at Reef nervously.

leith tried to make her change her mind.
" nerina he's a killer he won't help up."
-----------------------------------------
she smiled at her
" don't be scared he's just veary serious."

Coral nodded slowly. "A-Alright..." She said looking down timidly.

nerina got down low.
" there it is, now whats the p-"
she was cut off when leith just walked up to the door
---------------------------------------------------------------
" now in the mean time we need to get you out of that shell of yours."

Coral looked up slightly and chuckled a little. "Sorry, I'm not really used to people yet..."
------------------------------
Jon looked after him, "What is that idiot doing!?"

lieth didn't even hesitated he kicked in the door emmiately his eyes caught sight of coral.
" oh coral thank god your still alive."
he started walking towards her, as gray stopped him pressing a blade to her neck.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reef stood up in the defense
" who the fuck are you?"

Coral/Birdie jumped slightly and looked at Leith nervously. "L-Leith...?"
---------------------------
Jon hung back a little, he'd jump in if he saw the need but for now he wanted to see what would happen.

" coral i am so glad you made it out ok i was serching allllll over for you now come here."
gray didn't move he kept the blade there.
"....who is your buisness with the time bender?"
nerina poked her head out
"......stay here......"
she told jon and started walking to the back of the the house

Coral stayed where she stood, trembling slightly as she looked at him, unsure what to do.
--------------------------------------
"Wait- Nerina where are you going?" Jon hissed trying to stop her.

nerina ignored him and found the back door, she spotted coral on the chair.
" coral tell him to back off.."
reef looked over to coral
" stay put we'll handle him..."

"I-I... H-He..." Coral looked between them nervously. "P-Please don't hurt him..." She said almost without thinking.
---------------------------------------
Jon growled in frustration but was going to respect Nerina's decision.

nerina made it to the back of the house she crouched low and once she saw reef step away from coral she made her move.
" psssst girl...."
nerina called out

Coral turned in surprise and slight fear.

" shhhh....come here..."
she whispered softly.
gray didn't move his blade he didn't care if coral wanted him dead or alive.
reef tried to calm the situation down
" ok gray chill and you, what do you want with her?"
while everyone was distracted nerina started getting closer to coral.
