| "Hmm, okay....." James said, nodding slightly. "Would you like me to direct you to a rehab center?" | |

| "And thats how I know mate." Marcus said to him with a grin. "Most people would have ran or called me a nut job psychopath which in some turns they could be right but you. You just asked me that like normal." Marcus said without care. Before searching though his pocket for his tickets only to not find them. "Hmm, seems I only brought that one ticket. Well James, Rev whatever you like better. I be around." And with that he took one more bite of his apple and fell into the ground or more like became shadow and reappeared outside. So... How has this work?
"Dark me boy I'm simply bored and been wanting to get rid of this itch for ages." Marcus said to him before walking towards the front counter again in which a grin he brought on surprised the worker there. | |

| Well, now James was freaking out. And seriously considering taking out Shadow, since it could be no one else. It wasn't anything he had against Marcus, but he saw how Shadow the previous week had lost control and left for a murderous rampage. If he truly knew who James was, and who his friends were........he was too big a risk to let walk around. | |

| Bella had finished with her friends and went hunting for things to do. To her surprise Marcus was already at a few more games with rewards of the like. He is fast. | |

| Before James could think more on the prospect of removing Marcus/Shadow, he came face to face with the Devil. Or at least, he thought he did for a moment, until he realized it was worse: it was his English teacher, Mr. Buckell, dressed in a stereotypical devil costume. A red cape flowed behind him, plastic horns on his head attached to a black plastic band, a matching, cheap buttoned down suit and black pants. Hell, he even carried a plastic pitchfork.
"Come to collect my soul Mr. Buckell?" James asked jokingly, to which his teacher glowered. "No, not yet Conner. Just wanted to check in, and see how your paper was coming along." Blinking, James asked "My....my paper?" Scowling, Buckell moved a step closer, till only the table was all that separated the two of them. "Yes, Conner. Your. Paper. The one needed to save your failing grade in my class."
"Oh uh....it's not finished yet, but you'll have it by next wee--" James started to say, but was cut off as Buckell said "I want it on my desk by Friday Mr. Conner, not an hour later." | |

| Marcus turned his head to see Bella looking at him so he walked over "What up?" He asked with a smile.
"How are you winning all these?" She asked, looking at all the prizes that he held.
"Luck my dear sis luck." Marcus said cheerfully before realising his word use.
"Sis?" | |

| "By Friday!" James sputtered out, making Chris and Amy turn their heads his way. "Buckell I can get it done but I need more time. I've got a date tomorrow for the school dance s--" Buckell cut him off again, snapping "No excuses! You've had the whole month, to do this paper. You made a deal with me Mr. Conner and I'll be damned--" James fought hard to keep himself from laughing, given Buckell's devil costume--"before I let you weasel out of it with another excuse."
With that, he walked away, leaving James more than a little flustered. There was some clarification that was needed, mainly on his date: surprising him, James was asked out by a girl from math, who was.....well, cute but he didn't know that much about her. Beyond her name, Lydia, there wasn't much he knew about her. He heard a low whistle from behind him, and Chris walked up to stand beside him. "Wow......want me to call you an ambulance? Looks like Buckell just tore you a new one."
"Oh I am so taking a piss in that bastards office later," James growled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was time. In his hideout, the Chemist looked over the digital map set up on his wall, the map of Brooklyn. He had one target in mind, the main rival to his drug operations in New York. Once they were out of the way, he'd be free to operate with little resistance. | |

| "sorry. You just remind me of my sis." Marcus said sadly, looking into Bell's face only to remember pained memorys.
"Oh. what happened to her?" Bella asked with a soft tone.

| "She was in a car crash." Marcus said sadly.
"I had a sister who also died in a crash. I also had a brother who died trying to be a hero.. He had your name as well." Bella said softly as she remembered storys of her dead siblings.
You had to be right. | |

| While the booth got some more attention, an unexpected visitor arrived in the form of Cynthia. "So, I see your booth is doing well," she said, and already James didn't like her, just from the tone of her voice. Pompous, someone that looked down on or judged others. "But I know you won't win Amanda." Amy cocked her head and asked "Why's that?"
Cynthia smiled faintly and said "It's not meant for people like you to win." Eyes narrowed, Amy asked "People like me?" Calmly giving her a cool stare, Cynthia said "You know.....sinners like you." | |

| Stella looked absolutely pissed. She held her cup to James. "Hold my punch."
She walked over, and summarily slapped Cynthia. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." She said calmly. "Know your Bible before you bash my friend, bitch." | |

| Cynthia reeled back from the slap, a red mark on her face as she glared at Stella. "So who's this Amanda? Another sinning slut like you?" Chris was about to do more than slap Cynthia when James came to the rescue, standing between both parties......which as he thought about it, was close to suicide. His normal hand pressed to Chris' shoulder, his artificial one, simply for the sake of creeping Cynthia out, rested on hers. "Whoa now everyone, let's back off, right now. This a family event, meant to be fun. Not get into pointless arguments....or fisticuffs." | |

| Stella narrowed her eyes. "I don't belong to Amy. I am a lone wolf. Best you could say is a stripper I frequent. She has a nice ass. I should ask her out and bring her to the school dance." | |

| "Why would I drink from your punch?" James asked. Cynthia sighed and walked away, while Amy, standing there with her fists clenched gritted her teeth, but smiled. "She's scared," she said then. "Why else come here to rattle my cage?" | |

| "Sorry for your your loss." Marcus said, even if he was referring to himself. "Well let's leave it at that, got a James in any of your classes?"
"Yea but only in a few. Why?" Bella asked, a little confused.
"Just asking."

| Lauren turned up fashionably late to the carnival. She looked really good dressed as an ancient Greek soldier. She would have stood out mostly due to her short height and her face happened to be really recognisable. It was pretty hard to miss the small moving Spartan, particularly one with a stubborn English accent. | |

| While everyone moved back to their stations in the booth, James caught a familiar sight. One that had his jaw drop. "Lauren!?" he yelled, amazed to see her. | |

| Lauren looked startled, standing up on her tip toes to see who called her name out. Eventually, she spotted James and made her way over. "Hey!" She called to him smiling. "You look nice you clean up pretty good especially when your not at my bedside." Lauren winked at him playfully, that incident when he came to see her at the Hospital had become somewhat of a joke to her. Especially as she kept hinting about it as a joke to anyone interviewing her.

| "Not selling," Amy said as she walked over, star-struck for a moment by the sight of Lauren. ""Our booth does a bobbing for apples game. If you win, you get a caramel or chocolate apple, plus a raffle ticcket for the prize drawing at eight." | |

| "Oh crud that reminds me I got to get this to the raffle." She pulled out something from behind her shield. A small CD case, the kind music came on, her band of course but signed by the entire band. "One of the raffle prizes." | |

"Yea.. Bye." Marcus said to her before walking away.
Sadly I don't think you will tell her.
