The coldness Tam felt was suddenly replaced by a deep, burning hatred. She didn't respond.

Cricket sighed. He had let the truth out. And by saying it, he had realized what had happened. He'd kept it close to his chest until now. Now, he was going to do it. Now, he was going to kill every single last one of the hunters.

He looked towards the doctor. "I have a job to do. I'm sorry I couldn't finish my training. If I survive, I'll come back. I swear."

She grinned. Was that sarcasm? From you?

She tapped him lightly on the head. Are you feeling okay? she said, laughing quietly.

He blushed and chuckled nervously. “Is it- is that bad?”

She clenched her hands into fists to keep them from shaking.

Don't leave. Just finish your training.

Don't you understand? I'm going for vengeance. These monsters destroyed everything. I didn't fully understand that till today.

And yet how prepared will you really be to face them? It's better to finish your training.

“Oh.” He smiled. “Well, thanks. I think. I, uh… like your sarcasm too?”

You're welcome! And thanks! she said, grinning.

Tam, I've been holding back. This whole time, always. My true capabilities... I don't want to know what they do. But, I'm about to find out.

Fine then! he snapped, suddenly angry. I'll live with my hate and anger! I'll go back to being the nice and quiet guy. At least you know the truth. I'm a monster.

You're not a monster! she bit back, And I'm not about to let you go off to your death without doing SOMETHING to stop you!

How long have you been listening?

You know the truth! You know millions of people died because I made a selfish decision and got too close! And that was before I was a threat to them. If I waste my time training, all that happens is they strike back again. Harder. His voice broke. I...I can't let them hurt you.

Hes grinning in her general direction then  

Sorry, she mumbled. Jeesh.

Also, if it means anything, I agree with Tam!

Well, that sure shut her up.

Cricket, she said slowly, you had no way of knowing they would kill all those people.

And maybe- maybe you can just do part of your training. We'll be safe for a little while longer; you're not even with us right now.

I should've guessed! He went silent for a moment, considering. Fine. I'll stay. For right now. But if they dare to show their faces at all, or even try to harm you, I'm leaving, and I'm going to kill them all.

good night!

[Bird Furious she/her/un/important]

Bat stuck his hands in his pockets, feeling somewhat more at ease. 

For sake of time Beosta stuck around until her last sibling came around. She talked with him for a minute and hugged them all and promised to visit. 

“Okay. We can go now,” she said generally.

His resolve to kill them all frightened her slightly. She shivered.

Alright.

She supposed they would cross that bridge when they came to it.

Shoe nodded.

Finally, Tam sighed, which caused Shoe to glare at her.

Beosta hugged her aunt and everybody else, took Shoe’s hand, and stepped back out into the street.

She shrugged. “I dunno. I’m good for now.” 

Somebody bumped into Bat. He glared in that direction, then frowned. He reached into his bag and pulled out a small scrap of paper, staying unobtrusive to the rest of the group.
