Katherine watched as a multitude of nurses scurried in and out of the medical bay, some occasionally glanced at her but none for too long. She honestly couldn't believe how fucking stupid Cole was sometimes, was he trying to get himself killed? If she hadn't been there...no. No. She didn't want to think about that.

Honestly, she was just happy that Alex wasn't around to see this mess.

"Hello, Ka-ther-ine!"~ a familiar, artificially cheery voice cried from the other end of hall.

shit.

"Hey..." Katherine replied, her nervousness obvious in her tone.

Alex strolled closer to his subordinate. " Do you have any idea why the fuck it's so busy over here? The fools here are bumbling about and causing a racket."

"There was no real point in lying to him about it..." Katherine thought. "He's probably just humoring me, see if I'll lie to him."

On one hand, she was a afraid of what The Paragon would do to the Sovereign but on the other she didn't want to get in trouble for lying.

"Well?"

"It's Cole. " She muttered and tried to hide her face within the fluffy collar of her coat and her conical hat.

A smile stretched across Alex's features as he clasped his hands together. Rage? Joy? Relief? Katherine couldn't honestly tell what emotion her superiors' face was trying to convey.

"Thank you Sovereign, I can take it from here." Alex began to walk into the medical bay.

"W-wait! I-"

"That will be all Sovereign Yandeguire, you are dismissed."

"Sir I-"

Alex turned to face Katherine once more, the smile being replaced with a look of great disdain. "You are dismissed."

"Yes sir." Katherine said attempting to mask the rage in her voice as she retreated back to her quarters.

Alex found the man in question looking half way dead on a hospital bed. They had to remove Coles' almost ever present mask and black cloak, leaving him in only a pair of black boxers and some socks. His figures having yet to be reattached as the nurse currently taking care of him was sowing up a nasty looking wound on his arm. Alex dismissed the nurse and ordered him to not allow any other people to enter the room until he left, of course the man obeyed and Alex was left alone with Cole.

"Hello Sovereign Traurig."

The albino slowly opened his one good eye and stared at his superior. "Hello Paragon Alexzander..."

Alex smiled sweetly and sat next to Cole on the bed. "Good to know you still know who I am."

"I could never forget you."

"Oh? And why is that Mr. Traurig?"

"I tend not to forget such beautiful and perfect things..."

Alex smiled and straddled Coles' hips. "Flattery will not save you from punishment, Mr. Traurig."

"I...I am ready for what ever punishment you are prepared to give me..."

Alex began teasing the rim of Coles' boxers. "You're such a good boy Cole, it's such a shame that others aren't as...submissive as you are."

The Paragon grabbed an ice box of the counter and showed Cole the boxes' contents, his own severed fingers.

"You know what a want you to with these?" Alex asked as he pushed a whole finger to Coles' lips.

As if reading Alexs' mind, Cole began to bite into the fingers' tip, a bit of blood squirting out of the opposing end. Alex watched as more and more of the finger disappeared into the mans' mouth with sickening wet crunches as the boned snapped like carrots under the pressure of Coles' jaw. Eventually, the finger was completely consumed and was replaced by the finale two finger segments. They followed their predecessor into the mans' gaping maw, never to be seen again.

"Good boy Cole." Alex smiled.

"I'd do anything for you."

"I know."

"I love you." Cole blushed.

"I'll never love someone as ugly as you." Alex replied.

"One day, I'll be beautiful and then you'll love me. You'll want to hug me and kiss me and hold me in your arms. Just like you did that one night, when I was all that mattered to you. When you dressed me up like her and you touched me everywhere yet no where at the same time. That's what you want me to do right? Look like her? That's why I'm doing this, I died my hair from white to blonde and I'm dieting so I'm skinny just like her. See, I can be beautiful too. "

"Look at yourself. You are so swayed by a miss interpreted opinion that you're slowly killing yourself just so that you are physically pleasing to someone. How pathetic you are." Alex grimaced. "You'll never be my Lillie, stop pretending that you are. I don't love you or anyone else except for her, maybe one day you'll find someone who loves you the same way you love me."

Tears began to fall from Coles' face as Alex tried really hard to not look completely elated. Granted, he did 'care' for Cole as well as the rest of his Sovereigns and his Wardens, and everything he had said had been true but, nothing made him feel better than watching someone cry over him.

As he left the medical bay, he pretended not to notice Katherine and one of her Wardens slip into Coles' room.

-Lillie sat on the bed and as much as she hated to admit it, the maids outfit fit her perfectly. The lewd outfit didn't exactly give her much incentive to leave Kuins' bedroom, she didn't want a million eyes staring at her in confusion at best and predatory arousal at worst. The giantess had been kind enough to wash the outfit and sow up the hole in the...nether regions. Luckily for her, Kuin had instructed what Lillie assumed to be her underlings to buy her new clothes and the two decided to pass time by asking each other questions about themselves.

"Your turn." Kuin said.

"Well...um...n-never mind."

"No, It's ok." A patient smile appeared on her face. "I don't want you to be afraid of me, you can ask or tell me anything. I may not like what you have to say, but I won't scold you for simply saying whats on your mind."

So many questions flooded into Lillies' mind.

Where was she?

Would she ever see her friends again?

Why was swearing loyalty to Alex so important to him?

Did Cole find a way to enter her dreams or was that just a strange nightmare?

Why did Katherine beat her arm off?

What did Katherine know about her mom, is what she knew the reason she seemed to hate her so much?

Eventually she decided to start on a relatively easy one.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Ok...It's just that..." Lillie thought about her next statement carefully. She didn't wish to offend one of the few friendly faces in the facility.

"Katherine beat my arm to a bloody pulp in a fit of rage and honestly, Cole is so...so...bizarre I honesty wouldn't want to be in the same room as him. You on the other hand have been nothing but kind to me. You amputated the remnants of my arm and with out you help, it surely would have gotten infected, and you offered me a bath and clean clothes."

"Oh." Kuin nodded in understanding. "Have you ever heard of Silph Co?"

"Of course, they used to be a company based out in Kanto that made Pokeballs, TMs, and Rare candies."

"Did you know the called for bankruptcy about twenty-five years ago?"

"Yeah, once Mr. Fuji died, his son Aki, took over the company and spent a bunch of money helping the Aether foundation. I think Aki and my mom even dated for a while, only for my mother to wipe his bank account clean and take nearly all of the companies funding. Why are you telling me this?"

"Katherine would have been the head of Silph Co. had it not gone bankrupt and after the bankruptcy, she somehow got from Sinnoh to Alola and joined Team Skull and dated your brother. She has it out for your entire family and the Aether Foundation and her IED as well as your striking resemblance to Lusamine certainly doesn't help the situation."

"IED? Improvised explosive device?"

"Intermittent Explosive Disorder. The condition is characterized by the lack of ability to resist aggressive impulses, often resulting in serious assaults, property destruction, or frequent verbal aggression in the form of temper tantrums or tirades. The degree of aggressiveness expressed during an 'episode' is grossly out of proportion to any provocation or situational stress. Later the individual may feel upset, remorseful, or embarrassed about their belligerent behavior."
"...Does Katherine feel bad about my arm?"

"She'll never admit it. She's much to proud to ever apologies either but, I think she does feel guilty about it."

"What about Cole? Does he have IED too?"

"No. I think he is something much worse, he has an extreme 'Good Child Syndrome'."

"That doesn't sound like a bad thing."

"Well, I think we all have this 'I am good' persona that we put on to gain the approval of our friends and family, especially as children. However, Cole...is an interesting case. He is more than just sycophantic, always follows orders to a T. He needs to be well liked, pleasing, and praised often. He'll even encourage others to do things that people in his past that no longer have an influence on his life deemed bad just so he feels like a good person in his mind. His actions that others may see as bad are justified in his mind as him 'punishing misbehavior' unless he's called out on it by someone whose opinion really matters to him. Because of his fear of disapproval and possible rejection, Cole focuses on the demands and expectations of others, very rarely acting on his own personal accord. "

"That is worse, so much worse."

A silence dwelled in the air after that.

"You never really did answer the question." Lillie spoke up.

"What was the question?"

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"I try to be nice to everyone." Kuin focused her gaze to her hands. "I know how Lusamine treated you. No one else here seems to understand or care, to be loved unconditionally by a mother and then suddenly out of no where be hated so. Mothers like that are absolutely reprehensible, they don't deserve to procreate. Children are precious gifts to humanity, and I would give anything to have a child of my very own. Mothers are supposed to be kind and nurturing, they need to be willing to put everything they have ever had after there childs' needs, including their own life. " She looked back up at Lillie."So, I suppose I wish to make up for all of Lusamines' abuse and neglect by being extra kind to you. I understand that when you try to tell someone how...cruel your mother can be, they'll that it's your fault. That you're simply being over dramatic, but I believe you."

Lillie fell silent once more, she hadn't expected such a passionate answer from the seemingly level headed woman and frankly she had no idea how to respond.

"I-"

Before she could finish her own though, she was interrupted by the sound of a heavy door swinging open.

Standing in the door way was a woman with a lithe, elegant body and long white hair that almost reached the floor. Her eyes shone with a beautiful royal purple, her pupils a bright blue color. She was wearing a ruffly dress shirt that was divided into five sections that faded from white to black, with a matching short black skirt. Her golden tiara dangled an indigo stone on the bride of her nose and her black high heeled boots made the figures already gorgeous legs seem to go on for an eternity. The woman was also hold a large golden bag stuffed full of unknown contents.

"Sovereign Of Plenipotentiary." She curtsied and brushed some hair out of her face. "I brought clothing for out guest just as you have requested of me."

Kuin nodded. "Thank you Warden Sasha-Belle, please put them on the bed for our friend."

Sasha-Belle curtsied once more and placed the outfit on the bed just as she was told. "Please Sovereign, you do me to much honor, please just call me Belle."

The outfit consisted of white dress with pale blue transparent outlines, a pair of long socks and white shoes resembling ballet flats as well as a large white hat, with a blue ribbon around it.

The same outfit she had been forced to wear as a kid.

Alex laid almost completely naked on his bed, only in his briefs. His normal white lab coat and black jeans had been long discarded along with his binder. His white hair fell at strange angles as a feeling of satisfaction filled him like a nice meal. It wasn't often he got to torment people, after all, a Paragon shouldn't cave to such animistic pleasures. Well...at least not often as he'd like. Now that he thought about it, there where a lot of things he liked to do that he simply couldn't simply because he had appearances to keep up. Luckily for him, it wasn't because there had been some rule against it set by a superior, as he was the superior of superiors. No, it was because of his dear, darling, precious Lillie. It was almost insane on how much he had been forced to mellow just to be sure to not scare her away.

Her love is all that really mattered to him.

All of his plans could succeed, he could fix the world and everything on it but it would all be for not if she didn't love him the same way he lover her. He had loved her ever since Evelyn had met her in Kanto. Opal had been showing off all of her newest toys and such, oh how the other students loved her. How they praised her. How they inflated her illusions of grandeur.

But not Evelyn.

Never Evelyn.

Thinking back, he supposed that was why the two never got along after their mother died. The same face, body, mother, they shared but when they looked at each other it was as if they where looking into a twisted mirror. Anyway, some way or another, Lillie and her family had come to Kanto, presumably for business. The young girl had found herself in a dangerous situation with some Nidorans and is was going to snow soon. Or maybe it was already snowing? Truth be told, he didn't remember the exact details, all he knew that it looked awful outside that day. Evelyn attempted to help and she had succeed but not without receiving a nasty scar that cut through her shirt. Lillie had been kind enough to make sure that she had gotten home and didn't leave until she was positive that Evelyn was ok.

Oh, how kind his Lillie was! Looking after a nobody like Evelyn, truly a sign of her compassion! Her sweet sent, her beauty, her grace, her compassion. She was almost perfect.

Almost.

He hadn't forgotten that Lillie had abandoned him not once, but twice. Her love for her "Friends" was a most troubling thing, how could he trust her to not abandon him once they where married? Her being entirely human was also a problem, what would happen to his beloved Lillie as she progressed in age? She might become frail and sickly, and this simply wouldn't do. Unfortunately, he couldn't think of a single Pokemon in the world that would be a flawless fit for his love. She seemed more like an amalgamation, a mixture of wonderful parts in order to make perfection.

Alex rolled over onto his back in order to reach an old notebook and pencil that lay on his bed stand. He opened his book and began writing down some ideas he had for his love.

Lillie Paver Data:

Base Stats:

Hp: 121

Atk: 38

Def: 63

: 146

Sp. Def: 129

Speed: 103

Base Stat Total: 600

Yes, this was good so far. He wanted his love to have the same stat total as his highest ranking officers, he had so many wonderful plans for her.

Type:

Alex just stared at the blank space for a moment, his Lillie was very difficult to categorize into at maximum two types. None of his Pokemon could compare themselves to Lillie as she is, was and always will be nonpareil.

"That's it!" He exclaimed. He'd simply assign Lillie a type combination that doesn't exist yet. So he began making a list of dual types that unfortunately do not exist that he'd like to have.

Fairy/Dark

Fairy/Fire

Fairy/Poison

Steel/Poison

Ice/Fire
Ice/Poison

Psychic/Poison

His Lillie was most definitely NOT a fire, steel, or dark type so he crossed any combinations with those three types off the list.

Fairy/Poison

Ice/Poison

Psychic/Poison

Since all three remaining types where part poison types, he decided that Nihilego would be one of his bases. After all, he had always been a fan of irony and if Lillie becoming apart of the Ultra Beast that almost ruined her life wasn't irony, he didn't know what was.

Base1: Nihilego

Out of the three primary types, psychic seemed to be the most useful for what he had planed. To keep with the squishy-looking theme Nihilego seemed to have, Alex decided that Reuniclus should provide the psychic typing.

Type: Psychic/Poison

Base 1: Nihilego

base 2: Reuniclus

"For the ability, it should be a decent mix of Regenarator and Beast Boost with a little something new..." Alex thought to himself.

Ability: Beast Queen

-This Pokemon's highest stat is raised by 1 and 1/8 of HP is restored if it attacks and KOes another Pokemon, This Pokemon also gets a 1.5x damage boast on all rock type moves used and used on it.

The best part of mixing Pokemon with humans was that their move set size doubles to eight as opposed to a standard Pokemon's measly four. It was also easier to create new moves for the hybrid creatures even though doing such for a Pokemon is technically "illegal."

Moveset:

Power Gem- Rock

Sludge Wave- Poison

Hidden Power- Ice

Sharp Heart- Rock

Psychic - Psychic (duh.)

Calm Mind - Status

Recover- Status

Toxic Love- Poison

Toxic Love: Category- Special , Type- Poison, Power- 40 BP , Accuracy - 100%, PP - 20

If the target it Male or Female there is a 50% chance that the target will be badly poisoned and a 50% chance they will be burned.

This move doesn't effect genderless Pokemon.

Sharp Heart: Category- Special, Type- Rock, Power- 100 BP, Accuracy - 95% , PP - 8

If the target it Male or Female there is a 50% chance that the target will be Frozen and a 25% chance that Def and will increase by one stage.

This move doesn't effect genderless Pokemon.

Item: Black Sludge

Nature: Timid

Evs: 252 Sp. Def, 252 HP, 8

Alex smiled, a sense of pride filling him. His Lillie was truly going to become the perfect bride. Before he could get to wrapped up in his own fantasy, a strong urge to expel all of the contents of his stomach over whelmed him. He leapt up off of the bed and dashed over to the garbage can, a tar-like black substance streamed out of his mouth along with some large bits of-something almost making him choke. After the last the fluid oozed out of his maw, he looked into the trash can to find whatever the hell almost asphyxiated him. Some of the goo turned white and began forming symbols resembling ones and zeros, and some of the large chunk where parts of Pokemon. An Eevee tail, a Doduo beak, a few miscellaneous feathers, he even spotted a Pikachu head all swirling around in the vile pool. Pokemon cries could also be heard echoing throughout the room except they where jumbled and barely recognizable, as if the parts where screaming in unending agony. This wasn't truly surprising however, things like this have been happening for about as long as he could remember.

"Ma...Wile..."

That was new.

Alex stuck his entire hand down into the pool and fished out a newly hatched Mawile. It was a small thing, no bigger than his hand, and egg shells still clung to it's body. Alex grabbed a pokeball and caught the pathetic thing then pulled up its stats in the PC. Just has he presumed, the small male Mawile had perfect IVs and an Adamant nature. He had never spawned an entire pokemon before. He glanced at the clock, twenty minuets to six, almost time for the trial.

This was definitely going to be interesting.

Kuin frowned. "You don't like it, do you?"

"No,no,no,no. It's fine." Lillie said as she began brushing her hair.

"Are you sure? I'm sure I can find something else around the base..."

"Kuin, I'm sure it's fine. I promise."

"Now, I have to go to an important meeting soon, is there anything I can do for you? Is your arm ok?"

"Uhm...I'm ok. My arm is still a bit sore but, I'll survive. What's your meeting about?"

"I...I'm not aloud to tell you."

"Why not?"

"Alex forbid it."

"Please? He never tells me what is going on and the few times he does I can't help but feel it's not completely true..."

"I am sorry but I can't tell you. If you want, you can read some of my medical books of the human body. There are ten of them and they're extremely rare."

Lillie ignored the offer. "Then let go to the meeting with you!"

Kuin realized that the girl wouldn't take no for answer. "Fine, but on one condition."

"What is it?"

Kuin pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. "You have to drink this medicine for your arm. I don't want you to complain about it hurting while we're in the meeting."

Lillie agreed and began to chug the medicine down, she didn't notice that her vision had begun to blur and that the room began to spin.

She had fallen unconscious before she had even finished the bottle.

Alex sat in a large throne like chair in the back of the meeting room, a large staff in his hand. In front of him sat Katherine and her three highest ranking soldiers or Wardens. A similar pattern followed with the other two Sovereigns and their highest ranking subordinates. Once he was sure that everyone was present for the trial, he picked up the staff and dropped it on its' end a few times.

"Bring out the accused." Alex said, amusement obvious in his tone.

A long line of prisoners where forced into the room by two guards and among these prisoners where Hau, Gladion, and Lysander. All of whom looked miserable and malnourished, Hau looking the best out of the bunch.

Alex glanced down at the filthy heathens that dared to defy him and his Sovereigns.

"Bora..." Alex began. "Why should I care about these mongrels?"

A tall and lanky person that had originally sat next to Cole leapt up upon hearing their name. They where dressed in a white striped suit that seemed to take inspiration from a tie dyed straight jacket as it was white at the top but the lower your eyes went the pinker the suit was, the sleeves being way too long for the wearer as they almost touched the ground . The person was also wearing a large heart shaped bow tie and wore black cap toe had long, messy white hair that stuck up on the sides oh their head that looked like ears and covered their eyes and almost hid shiny blue glowing ring resembling an eye was placed on their forehead.

"Well sir-r-r-r~ Gladion is bein' accused of violating your rights of privacy, breaking and entering into your home, and seemed to have planned to slanderize your na-a-a-ame!~ Hau 'ere is an accessory to his crimes, and Lysander is basically Hitler but instead of killing jews, he likes to kill people and po-o-okemo-o-o-on!~ The rest of these blokes 'ere are bein' accused of relatively petty crimes like graffiti, theft, all that lovely stuff."

"Very well. Time to cast votes on punishment."

"WAIT." Gladion shouted. "Aren't you going to let us tell our side of the story?!"

"Why would I do that?" Alex replied coolly. "I already know what happened and so does everyone else here."

"No you don't! You where not there!"

"I didn't need to be there. I'm not so dense that I wouldn't have cameras on my property."

"Cameras' do not always tell the whole story!"

"Well, this is justice for you. Just Us. Justice."

"But-"

"ENOUGH! I AM TIRED OF YOUR INSOLENCE." Alex yelled. After a plethora of looks from his underlings, he steadied himself. "We have a certain way of doing things here Mr. Paver, each of us have a job to do and a role to play. We already have all the evidence we need to convict you and everyone else in the prisoner line. Your job is to help us determine what your sentence should be based upon how you act in the trial, acted within imprisonment, and how you acted before all of this happened. Judging by your lack of submission and relationship with others here in the trial, I'd say...your sentence may be rather... dire."

Hau silently prayed that Gladion would just be quite and do as he was told.

Of course, this prayer went unanswered.

"I will not just stay silent and sit back when I know that my life is in the hands of a monster. I know you took my sister, and I won't rest until I find her, even if I have to beat the answer out of you."

"Such disrespect. I do apologies you guys, but I refuse to let such nasty behavior continue. So I propose a deal with you Gladion! I know how much you love little Hau over there so you better pay attention. ~"

"I'm... listening."

"All of those men should be receiving the death penalty, including you and Hau. However, I am not without mercy and I am willing to make a deal with you. You are going to be the one who decides who live and who dies. Your love, or the majority? "

"NO! I REFUSE THE DEAL!"

"Then you will all die."

Gladion snarled. "You...you bastard! how can you call that mercy!?"

Alex laughed and relaxed more into his chair. "I am giving you the power of life and death Mr. Paver. Whom ever dies, their blood will be on your hands, not mine. You have ten minuets to decide."

Gladion was allowed to walk back to Hau and the other prisoners to discuss the situation. He couldn't think, he couldn't breathe, knowing that someone was going to die and it was his fault. If he had just minded his own business, he and Hau wouldn't be here. Listening to the others in the room ramble on about how they where going to kill them just made the situation worse, some wanted to use them for target practice, others wanted to kill them so that their flesh could be eaten and their skin used for leather. How did a group of such vile human beings all congregate into a single operating force? More importantly, how did he end up dating one of what he can only be assumed as a high ranking officer? Granted, he knew that while they were dating Katherine hadn't been in the best state of mind. She was aggressive, abusive even but he never saw her as sociopathic or sadistic.

"Gladion..." Hau spoke up. "Why is Alex acting like this?"

"Because he's a monster Hau! Just like I said he was!"

"B-but he's our friend! Why would he-wait I think I know what's going on." Hau said with a devious smirk.

"In case if you haven't noticed, OUR LIVE ARE IN DANGER!"

"No they aren't, this is a joke."

"A...joke?"

"Yeah a joke! Alex is clearly just seeing if we'll call it quits or something! So when you go up and tell him who is going to 'die.' just tell him I will and everything is going to be ok!"

"O-ok Hau." Gladion wasn't sure if Hau actually believed this of if he was just saying this to make him feel better about the situation.

"Times up Gladion." Alex spoke. "So, what's your decision."

Gladion looked back at Hau, there was just no way that this was a prank. If locking someone up in a cell for a day, not giving them food or water, and then threatening to kill them was a prank, then the Champion had a really fucked up sense of humor.

"Hau...Hau needs to be spared."

"You heard the man. Send these lot back into there cells and Lysander to Katherines' lab for the extraction process."

"Now what do we do, you sick fuck."

"Hey now." Hau spoke up again. " No need to be rude! I'm sure once we leave, Kukui, Guzma, and all of our other friends will be outside ready to throw us a par-!"

Haus' joyful expression suddenly turned into a grim look as his eyes rolled up, forcing him to look at the ceiling.

"Hau?"

"I-"

Hau didn't even have time to respond as his body began to bloat up. More and more as his face contorted and twisted in to various expressions of pain. Foreboding creaking sounds echoed through out the room. Gladion tried to help the best he could but eventually the noise of Haus' skin expanding deafend the his screams. He turned bright white and mouthed the word 'I love you' before.

Bits and pieces of Hau flew all over the room. Blood and pus coated the walls and ceiling like a demented piece of art. The clothes he had been wearing in shreds. The still beating heart of his love landed directly in front of the now crying man. Alex walked over to Gladion and began to lovingly stroke his hair, stepping on Haus' heart in the process.

"Shshsh...Gladion. Poor baby..."

"You...you promised that Hau would live...he's gone..."

"I'm sorry sweet thing. I didn't kill your love and I can not speak on behalf of my men. Do not forget this pain though, it is what you deserve. This is my region now, it's islands and it's Kahunas will bow to me or...they will burn. It's mountains and hills shall bend to my command or...they shall be reduced to pebbles. It's people shall worship me and follow my rules or...they will die. Even time and space shall do as I decide or it will be decimated. For these are the words of a Paragon, the perfect trainer, the perfect being, the new god of these island. Alola is my region and I will see it burn before I surrender."

Gladion just sat there and cried, even after the room emptied, he stayed and cried himself to sleep in his lovers' remains.

Lillie awoke sevral hours later, her hair a mess and having little memory of what happened a few hours prior. She was in Alexs' room and the man in question was braiding her hair.

"You're awake!" Joy evident in the older mans voice.

"Mhm."

"I have something important to tell you, but you aren't going to like it."

"What is it?"

Alex pulled out a bloody piece of yellow fabric from his pocket.

"I'm sorry. He couldn't handle being Island Kahuna. I wasn't allowed to bring you his suicide note, it's still being handled by the police."

Lillies' eyes filled up with tears as she buried her head into Alexs' chest. She just couldn't handle all of this loss, first het mom, then her arm and now Hau one of her closest friends. A river of tears spilled from her eyes as Alex comforted her to the best of his abilities.

After fifteen minutes of Lillie crying, she looked up at Alex. A million thoughts racing through her mind as she realized that Alex was one of her few friends left and that she didn't want to lose them.

"Alex?"

"Yes Lillie?"

"I want to swear my loyalty to you."
