~√•π's POV~

Me and $=€][8¥ jumped from draught to draught. We can't go down. She can't go down. I'd be safe for at least a few more days. But if $=€][8¥ jumped down? Oh she'd be on Ross' radar so fast I wouldn't even have the chance to jump down. Ross would want to find out everything about her again. How does she bear all those cuts on the sides of her stomach and face where her ears used to be? To what extent do her gills work, if at all? What would happen if I...? Those are the sick and twisted thoughts that would go through his head if he saw that $=€][8¥ was still alive. Then, once we were in the place we usually sleep, $=€][8¥ spoke to me for what seemed like the first time since Ashlie  had first arrived.
"√•π... I feel like we need a way to communicate with them. To tell them about us and how we, or rather, I dealt with this."
"$=€][8¥... Are you sure? What if Ross finds out?!"
"Then he'll have to find a way up here."
"But it's really easy to get up here. All you did for us to get up here was jump!"
"√•π, you're forgetting that the only reason I was able to get us up here, was because I gained some kind of power boost when the experiment failed."
"Oh yeah! That was a thing... I forgot you're a 'failure' to him..."
"√•π... Am I a failure." She said, a sad tone in her voice.
"What? No! Of course not! You're the best thing up here!"
"No I'm not √•π."
"But like, $=€][8¥. You are doe."
"But like, √•π. I'm not doe. That's you!" I felt my face start to blush from the complement. We were about to go to sleep when Ross walked past, a bag in his hand. It was shut tight, but the end of a baseball bat was sticking out from it. He glanced around, checking presumably for the other kids. $=€][8¥ whispered to me, "Last time he left with a bag like that, he brought Cory back and killed the rest of his family. Chances are, he's gonna do the same thing again."
"Who do you think he'll get?"
"I heard Ashlie earlier say something about a Tommy. How all they need is him and the gang would be back together again. Wait, are they that group of kids that used to live in the neighborhood that we'd occasionally babysit?"
"Yeah. They definatly are. Did you only just figure that out? Anyways, do you think Ross overheard and is gonna try and get him? He clearly knows where the neighborhood is because of Cory... What if he burns down all the houses just to find him? Where will we go when we escape?"
"√•π, we're adults. We were gonna need to move out this year anyways."
"You may be right but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."
"Ah, giving out words of wisdom I see. Heh, good night!"
"Same to you sis!"
