"I'm ready to sleep." I found the pool they were talking about earlier and dove in, releasing Teri from my bag.

"G'night." Ako mewed

While the others continued on he couldn't help but feel as though he had been forgotten. They all seemed to look past him just like the others did. He was alone then, still shivering in the street. Tiredly he lowered his head wrapping his arms about his chest as he walked away in sorrow. "I don't need friends...I can find my way home on my own!" Though his tone was all but confident. If he didn't find shelter or someplace to sleep he was going to die from the cold...

I saw Jersey walking away and ran up to him. "Where are you going? Don't go!" I grabbed him to keep him from leaving.

He turned to look at the animal a bit confused. "Why should I stay? This is not my home, and I'm not welcomed here. It would be better if I leave to keep from scaring others." He said clearly afraid and confused as to what was going on around him.

"Fine then Jersey. You just go leave. Do you even know the way, though?"

It was then that he broke down. Tears seemed to fall from his empty eye sockets as he feel to the ground head in his hands. "No! I have no clue where I even am! I'm lost and afraid and everyone refuses to help me!"

"I'll help you." Not knowing what to do, I gave him a hug. "Hey now, it's fine."

He calmed some at the hug yet it still hurt. "How? You don't even know me..."

"You saved my life. I would have frozen to death. Let's just say I'm returning the favor."
