Holden led Jason to the kitchen, "Jason this is my friend Alicia." He said with a smile.
"Hi Jason." She said looking up to Holden. "What is going on?" She asked slightly pissed.
"Stop Alicia, I don't know he was sleeping on my doorstep, he ran away from an orphanage. I offered him the last few pieces of pizza." He said feeling bad.

"Holden Michael Evans, don't you dare go into that mindset. You can barely handle Amanda." She said as she handed a piece of pizza to the boy.
"I know Alicia, but there is something different about him. I can feel it. The police are after him for running away. I have to help him." He said giving Alicia a slight pout.
"I hate you." She said rubbing her temples.

"Thank you." He said as he knelt down to Jason. "Ok, I will be back shortly I'm gonna go and get you a few clothes." He said with a smile. He went to the door and teleported to Solomon. "Solomon, I'm sorry to interrupt, but did you feel that presence when you were at my house?" Holden asked with a slight smile.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden jumped as Holden appeared, "H-Holden! G-.." She waited, seeing he was talking to Solomon. She stood slightly behind Solomon as he stood.

Solomon nodded a bit, "I did for awhile. What about it?" He put his hands in his pockets, looking away slightly. He sighed a bit, looking at Holden, "I think Hayden wants to talk to you..she won't stop punching the backs of my knees." He looked down with a slight glare.

Hayden smiled slightly, looking up at Solomon, clinging to his pant legs. "I wasn't doing anything..no no..you guys talk. I'll wait." She looked to Holden, "I've got news~ But I'll tell you after you and Solo talk."

[Bovice]

"I-..it was a little boy. He seems special, but I don't know what it is." Holden said with a confused look on his face. He kneeled down, "So what is your news Hayden?" He asked with a smile.

"So Jason, do you have a last name?" Alicia asked with a smile.
The boy jumped a bit when Alicia spoke, "Um, n-..no I don't, my middle name is Aaron. Ev-...every one says that is m-..my last name." He said as he finished the piece of pizza.
"I see, if I can ask why did you run away from the orphanage?" She asked sweetly.
"I... Um, I didn't li-..like the people that took care of m-..me. They were me-..mean." The boy said looking to the floor.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon nodded slightly, "I wonder why..." He sighed, picking Hayden up, "You better not be bothering him every day then either."

Hayden smiled brightly, leaning over to Holden, "Solo says I can stay here with him! A-and I can watch more of those..movie thinggers." She wiggled a bit, then clutched onto Solomon's vest, pushing herself into him with a purr, "Oh Holden!" She looked back over to him, "I sense something about you..oh! You can shape shift too~?" She squeaked, being swatted by Solomon. "Whhaattt?"

Solomon rolled his eyes, "Don't go analyzing him like that. It's rude...but, you're right. Anyway, did you catch his name Holden?" He looked back to Holden, desperately wanted to grab him and give him a kiss, but he knew he couldn't; Holden was still thinking about his decision.

[Bovice]

"That's great Hayden." He said with a smile. Holden laughed, "Ya he said his name was Jason, and he just said that he doesn't have a last name but his middle name is Aaron. He is an... Orphan... Those bastards." He said clenching his fists. He looked at Solomon, "No wonder why I am drawn to him. His handlers yell at him." He said as he looked around. "I ah have to go. I need to get him some clothes, and talk to the police. I will talk to you later lo-.. Solomon." He just broke his heart even more almost calling Solomon love. He gave a pained smile to Hayden and disappeared.

Holden arrived back at his house twenty minutes later with a sweater, shirt, pants, shoes, socks, underwear, and some towels. He walked into the kitchen, "Here you go Jason, all brand new." Holden said with a smile. "And they will fit I am pretty good at picking out sizes." He said handing the clothes to Jason.

Jason jumped when he saw Holden, "Th-..thank you." He said looking at the clothes. He grabbed them from Holden, "I... I've never had brand new clothes before." He said with a little smile.

"Well I am glad I could help." Holden said with a smile. "Now there is a bathroom down the hall. You can take a nice warm shower, ok?" He asked looking up at Alicia.

"O-..ok." Jason said as he slowly walked to the bathroom.
"Watch him, I am gonna go talk to the orphanage." Holden said as he watched Jason walk down the hall.
"Don't worry I will, and don't do anything stupid." Alicia said putting her hands on her hips.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon flinched a bit, "Just don't go interferring with him Holden..." He frowned as Holden disappeared. He set Hayden down, "I know I should try and stop him but I also know he won't let me...he cannot handle two children..N-not that I doubt his compitence but...he's still just a kid hinmself...kind of."

Hayden frowned, "Want me to go? I-I can maybe...watch him for you? Illl be good brother. I promise."

Solomon shook his head , "No...it's fine Hayden..he'll do what he thinks is right no matter what either of us say and do."

[Bovice]

"Holden?" Amanda asked as she sat up on the couch.
"Damn it! I almost forgot about Amanda." Holden said in a whisper. "I'm in the kitchen kiddo." He said as he turned around.
She got up off of the couch and ran to the kitchen, she clutched onto his legs.
"Did you sleep ok?" He asked as he wrapped one of his arms around Amanda.
"Yes I did." She said with a smile as she looked up.

"That's good. Now I have a few errands to run, the furniture people will be here in about a half hour. So when they get here I want you to stay out of their way. Oh I almost forgot, we have a guest, his name is Jason. I want you to be nice to him, and no making out with him." He said scolding Amanda.

"I wont, I promise." Amanda said letting go of Holden and started twiddling with her dress.
"Ok, now I'm gonna go. Be good." Holden said as he went to the BMW.

[Evil Tink]

"B-but..I want to help you."

"Just don't worry about it." He patted her head, "But, if you want to go there as a guest, go ahead. Just make sure Amanda doesn't see you teleporting, or anyone for that matter. I've got to tend to the horses..."

Hayden gasped, kicking his shin lightly, playfully, "You didn't tell me you had horsies! I wanna help you!" She tugged on the edge of his vest, "Please? I;m good with animals, remember?" She smiled brightly, wiggling her toes in excitement.

Solomon sighed, "I always have horses Hayden, you know that. Don't you want to play with Amanda? I know you do...I've got two new horses that are still adjusting to the presence of vampires, so I suggest you go play with Amanda..she seems a bit sad right now."

Hayden pouted, "Fine, but I want to see them as soon as I get back, okay?" She smiled as he nodded, "Love you Soly!" She jumped up to give him a hug then disappeared, appearing in Holden's back yard in a tree. She glanced around, not seeing anyone, then jumped down, skittering up to the front door and ringing the doorbell.

[Bovice]

"Can I get the door?" Amanda asked Alicia.
"Sure." Alicia said with a smile.
Amanda ran to the door. She opened it, "Hayden!" She said as she gave Hayden a hug.
Alicia followed Amanda to the door. She smiled when she saw that it was Hayden, she waved at Hayden as she went to check on Jason. She reached the bathroom door, she gently knocked on the door. "Jason are you ok?" She could hear him jump. "Poor kid." She thought to herself.

"Y-..ya I'm fine." Jason said.
"Ok, if you need anything I will be in the living room." She said as she walked to the living room. She sat down on the couch, "Man I wish we had cable." She said with a sigh as she turned on the TV, and the DVD Player.
"The satellite guy is coming tomorrow." Holden said as he pulled up to the orphanage.

[Evil Tink]

Hayden giggled, hugging Amanda tightly, "Solomon dropped me off while he went on some errands so we can play!" She hurried inside tilting her head at Alicia, "Cable?" She jumped, sensing someone else in the house, "O-ohh! H-Solo mentioned you had another guest.." She peered back at Amanda, she had to be careful.

[Bovice]

"Ya I have some toys up in my room. Unless you wanna watch Peter Pan again." Amanda said with a smile as she shut the door.
"It's like movies but different, if you wanna come over later tomorrow you will be able to see." Alicia said with a smile. "Ya his name is Jason. But be careful he is kind of jumpy." She said with a sad expression on her face.

Holden was sitting in the dark, damp, dirty, depressing waiting room, waiting for his name to be called.
"Mr. Evans?" The lady said in a low husky tone. "Miss Sanders is waiting for you." She said pointing to the door of the office.
"Thank you." He said slightly scared. "No wonder he ran away." He thought to himself as he knocked on the door.
"Come in!" The woman yelled.
Holden entered the room, and was taken aback by a powerful disgusting smell. "Hello ma'am I am Holden Evans." He said not wanting to get closer to the woman.

"I know who you are, now take a seat!" She said slightly yelling as she pointed to the empty chair.
He nodded and quickly made his way to the chair, he held back gagging as the smell got worse. He sat down even though he didn't want to.
"Mr. Evans, I see you have come across one of our runaways." She said quickly closing the folder.
"There's more then one?" He thought to himself. "Yes Jason Aaron and he said that he doesn't have a last name." He said as he folded his hand on his lap, not wanting to touch anything more then he already has.

"Huh, that is interesting that boy never tells anyone his name. What did you do to him?" The woman asked glaring at Holden.
"I didn't do anything to him ma'am, I was just nice to him as all." Holden said taken aback.
"Huh, so what are you doing here? Want to claim some sort of reward? Well sorry to tell you but we don't have that kind of money." She said slightly upset.
"No ma'am, I actually wanted to know if I could foster him with the possibility to adopt." He said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon dropped the bucket of feed as Holden began to speak to the woman, "Dammit.." He ran his hands through his hair, grabbing the now empty bucket and heading back for more. "Holden..I do not think that that is such a good idea..and I'm sorry for eavesdropping..." He filled the bucket back up and went back to pour it in the feed buckets in the horses' stalls. Tomorrow he'd have a lot more mouths to feed. Almost all 25 of his stalls would be full..he thought a moment Was it 20 or 22?

Hayden nodded, "No no! I want to see these..'toys' things. I've only ever had a kitty to keep my company..this is all new to me." She dragged Amanda upstairs and through the hallways until she found the girl's room, her jaw opening in amazement, "This is your room!? I've never seen one..so..so big!" She stepped inside, looking it over. Her 'room' could easily fit inside this one, or even the closet. In reality, it wasn't that big; but to Hayden it was massive.

[Bovice]

"Okayyy" Amanda said as Hayden pulled her to her room. "It bigger then my one in America." She said with a smile. Oh ya teddy! This is my favorite teddy, Holden got him for me after daddy went to heaven." She said showing it to Hayden.

"I know Solomon, but I can't in my right mind return him to this disgusting place." Holden said looking to the woman.
"Ha! What are like 17? You wouldn't be able to take care of a child." The woman said with a little chuckle.
"I'm 21 thank you, and I take care of my sister, because our parents died last month." He said slightly pissed.
"Well, sorry. It take a lot of money to foster / adopt a child. Do you have the money to do that young man?" She asked with a intrigued look on her face.
Holden grabbed a envelope out of his pocket and threw it on her desk. "Open it." He said with a smirk.


The woman jumped as the envelope landed on her desk. She grabbed it and opened it. Her mouth dropped, "Th-..this is a lot of money." She said stammering.
"It is ₤1,000,000. And that is just the paperwork rush money. Afterwords I am willing to give you another ₤1 million, so you can fix up this mess." He said looking around.
The woman was still shocked. "I... I..." She didn't know what to say.

"Just do it. Ok you will have a lot of money left over~" Holden said in a singsong tone.
"I... I will get on it right away Mr. Evans." The lady said as she started grabbing papers.
"Good, now my number is in there. So give me a call when you have it filed." He said with a smile as he stood up. "Now have a nice day." He said as he left the office and went to his BMW. "God I am gonna need a shower after this." Holden said with a shiver as he got into the car.

[Evil Tink]

"Something is very off about that boy Holden..you just be careful. Oh! I almost forgot, you should stop by and see Kali, she really misses you. Not to mention she won't shut up." His eye twitched as he looked to the copper horse, "Yea! I know! Now knock it off!" He ran his hand through his hair, putting the bucket back in the feed room.

Hayden looked back to Amanda and the teddy, "Teddy? What's that?" She gingerly poked the bear jumping back and watching it cautiously, "It that a..'toy'? What are these toy things? I don't understand any of this." She let herself fall to her butt, looking down at the floor and hiding her hands in her kimono. "This is so confusing..."

She wished she could confide in Amanda about her...lack of knowledge, but Amanda was human, and could not know. Her expression became slightly distressed as she continued to try and figure things out. "First magical picture boxes..now..these..things.." She pointed to the teddy, "I..don't...get it.."

Solomon sighed, going over to Rilov, "I suppose it's time for me to finish up your leg, hm?" He stepped inside as the horse nickered. Solomon took a moment to calculate his power. He fed quite a bit soon after Holden arrived; he should be fine. It had been awhile since he had had so much power stored up.

He placed his hands on the horse's knee, careful to not put too much pressure on it. He began to heal the horse's leg, much like he had with Holden's arm. He also repaired the cartilage on his other knee and twisting it a bit to realign it. Rilov squealed a bit as he did so, but he knew better than to move.

After a few minutes, he stepped back, leaning on the now empty food bucket with a smile, "How does that feel?" The horse nickered, nudging Solomon with his velvety nose. Solomon smiled, petting his face, "You're welcome boy.."

[Bovice]

"I'll stop by in a few minutes. But I can't stay long because I need to get to the store and buy food, and everything else." Holden said as he sped out of the parking lot.

Jason walked out of the bathroom and walked to the living room, "I-..is Holden b-..back yet?" He asked Alicia, looking down at the floor.
"Um no he isn't sweety. I'm watching Peter Pan, do you wanna join me?" Alicia asked as she turned to Jason. "Holden are you gonna be back soon?" She asked.
"Um... Su-..sure." He said as he walked over to the couch. He sat as far away as he could from Alicia.

"A bout a half hour yet. I'm going to check on Kali." Holden said as he turned onto Solomon's road. "Have the furniture guy's come yet?" He asked as he saw Solomon's house.
"Well hurry up, Jason asked about you." She said. The doorbell rang. "That must be them." Alicia said as she got up. She reached the stairs. "Amanda, Hayden the furniture people are here so stay out of their way please." Alicia said as she walked to the door.

Jason jumped when he heard the doorbell. He covered his ears when Alicia yelled.
"Hello ma'am, we are here to deliver furniture." The man said.
"Yep, if you need any help with where to put stuff just ask." Alicia aid as she went back to the couch.

"He is a stuffed animal. He is a toy, you play with toy's. You have fun, one of my old friends said that you can be someone other then yourself." Amanda said with a smile. She heard Alicia, "We will." She yelled back.

Holden pulled into Solomon's driveway, he shut the car off and teleported close to the barn.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon lifted his head hearing Holden's car, "I'll have Rita come by to check your leg out before I let you out of your stall..she needs to be sure everything's alright. Kay?" He patted the horse and exited the stall, latching it shut. He went over to Holden, desperately wanting to kiss him. He restrained himself though, giving him a slight smile instead, "She's been kicking the damn door all day...but it's a bit refreshing to have some chaos around here I suppose.." He shrugged, walking with Holden to Kali's stall.

Hayden tilted her head, "You mean like...copying someone?" She was so tempted to change herself again, but she couldn't in front of Amanda. Suddenly anger was written all over her face as she pounded a fist into the wall, nearly denting it, "This isn't fair! I..I can't...because you'd..get scared." She closed her eyes tightly, wishing she could understand this whole toys and play thing for one, and that she could be honest with Amanda for another. She gingerly took the bear from Amanda, tilting her head as she looked at it.
