Ryker.

Bambi POV.

When I got home, I was quick to wash up with the cold water, ready to get some sleep, but when I left the bathroom and made it back to my room, the room wasn't empty, a small boy was sitting on my bed, looking worried.

"Colin, what up?" I ask him, why is he in my room, was he here when I came in?

"I was waiting for you, why were you so late! You were supposed to be home by eleven!" he says angry at me, I couldn't help it, I tried my best to hold my laugh, but Colin yelling at me for being late, it was just hilarious, I laughed at him, he's cute when he's worried and angry.

"Sorry mom, I had to stay over late," I tell him still laughing, he didn't laugh back, he was still in the angry mood, and it was just too funny for me.

"Come on, don't be mad mom, I had to stay late, and I missed the bus," I say the last part on the verge of tears again, remembering having to walk most of the way home.

"You missed the bus?" Colin says jumping up, coming to give me a hug, I hugged him back, needing the hug, needing him to hold me, someone cares about me, someone cares if I don't come back.

"How did you come here?" he asks me later, after we were done of hugging, and pulling back.

"My friend at work gave me a ride," I say, I wasn't lying, I just didn't mention the other guy, the supernatural with the sun shades.

"That's good, I got you a sandwich," he says holding up a sandwich for me, I don't believe we even had bread in my house, he must have brought it over from his place.

"Thank you," I say starting to eat the sandwich, I was too tired to eat it, imagine being so exhausted and hungry, that you can't eat, chewing is too hard, I could only eat a couple bites before I fell asleep, with Colin sitting next to me in bed.

"Bambi, Bambi..." my name was called for the first time in a while, no one calls me by my name, at work, I'm called by my number or red, never my real name, and mom can't talk anymore, unless if she's screaming in pain.

"Whu?" I say, is it over, was it all a bad dream and now I'm awake and got my life back together?

"I'm going to school, do you need to get to work?" Colin asks me, making me groan, I was on the verge of tears, not work! Anything but work.

"Okay, I'm up," I say trying to hide my sadness and tears, another day in hell, but I had to get to work, I went to the bathroom and washed my face with freeing cold water, that got me to jump, but I'm awake now. Next I wore my uniform and my shoes, I could wear my own clothes and get there and change, but that would take a lot of time, and I don't own enough clean clothes to go there wearing them, it's only from work to home, no need to change before and after.

Once I was done, I threw my long hair into a bun, a neat one, we need to look good or we'll be kicked out, I knew that, mom taught me that before she has fallen sick. I finished getting ready and passed by her room, delivering her daily plate of soup, she'll eat it during the day, she could eat it without my help, even if it takes her lot of time, she's bed bound but she still need some energy to survive.

I started to walk toward the bus station, Colin is over at school, most people are getting ready to work or leavign to work, I'm not the only young person working, I said hello to some of my neighbours, the one who knew me, but I kept to myself mostly, no need for them to know what we're going throuhg.

I walked the same way I have walked yesterday, the one that takes me to the bus stop, I was near the place where Eliot have dropped me off, and that's when I saw it, a black car, maybe it's the same one of yesterday, maybe it's another one, I don't know who's car that is, and I kept moving.

"Get in red," a voice, one I've heard before, one that I heard last night, the guy with shades, I turned to the car and saw him in the car, the same guy, the same shades, and he's telling me to get it.

"I'll...I'll take the bus," I tell him with my face going red, I don't feel I need to get in his car, not again.

"Get in red, I insist," he says again, I was about to say no and keep moving, but that's when he opened the car door, everyone in the human district and the one next to it where looking at us now.

"Please red, we're going the same way," he says, pointing for me to get inside the car, now that he's standing and making me feel all embaressed, I got in the car with him.

"Good morning red, it's nice to have you here with me this morning," he says with a smile on his face.

"Hello," I say my face still bloody red, he took his sunglasses off, showing off his black eyes.

"My name is Ryker, but you can call me sir," he says, and I just nod my head yes.

"A flower for the beautiful girl," he says handing me a flower just like the one I recieved yesterday from Eliot, was he the one who sent it to me? He's my secret admirer? I was busy blushing the whole time, the whole drive, until we got to the house, I was ready to get out and start my work as usual.

"Come with me red," he says comign out of the car after me.

"I have to work," I say trying to get away from him, although he's beautiful, much taller than me, black silky hair, but I was worried of getting too close to him.

"Your work would be sitting me with for the day," he says, but that would get me into troubles, I can't just sit with him.

"But I can't..." I say, I can't not get to work.

"As your boss, I order you to come over with me," he says, he's a supernatural, I don't know if he's really my boss or not, but I can't refuse an order of the supernatural resident of this house. I nod my head and walk after him, ditching the cleaning job for now.
