[Sully]

Sully looked at him. Maybe she could teach him to learn english again. She almost felt like he was her little brother for real. He seemed so innocent, like he wouldn't hurt an ant. Sully couldn't help but smile at that. She wished more people could be as nice as him and Seamus. The two were the nicest people she knew. They were pretty much the only people she knew, but still. Alec looked confused as his mouth started to move again. She frowned. Eventually he would learn to speak english again wouldn't he? Or at least to understand it. It would make comunicating with him so much easier. Sully decided to take him back to her house so that he could actually sleep, or eat, or do whatever he wanted to.

She hugged him again and steered him in the dirrection of her home. She was saving up her money from catching monsters to buy an actual house. She had alot of money so far and it wouldn't be long before she could start looking for a house to buy. She couldn't ask the bank for a loan because her income wasn't steady and she would most likely get alot of debt. For now she just had to climb to the second highest building in Nova City to sleep. Sully knew a spell that would let her climb the side of the building with Alec on her back, but she wasn't sure how he would react to being so high off the ground.

[Alec M'Crae]

She didnt end up saying anything else, but he knew she was startin to think. About what though? Was she thinking of dumping him on the curb or to find a home for him, not like he could live by himself in the first place. He stumbled ablittle as they walked, his legs going a little numb. Alec looked around too, curious about where they were going. It was probably her house, but where was that anyway? It could be any one of these tall buildings...

[Sully]

Sully noticed that he was stumbling a little bit. She slowed a little and then stopped. She could carry him on her back if he wanted. He looked like his legs might give out soon. She placed a hand on his shoulder and tried to think of somethin he might understand. She pointed to her back then to his legs. "Would you like to ride on my back?" She asked him along with the motion. She hoped he understood somewhat. She really did just want him to be happy.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec took a moment to figure out what she said, but her actions helped him more. Alec nodded his head to agree with a faint smile. He was starting to realize she was going to take him somewhere and somewhere safe without any straitjackets collars or muzzles either. Maybe a warm bed to sleep in with a fluffy Teddy bear to snuggle up with too. He climbed onto her back and wrapped his arms around her neck so he wouldn't fall, than rested his head on her back as he felt more relaxed. He was also very tired. Maybe he'd fall asleep on her back.

[Sully]

Sully smiled as Alec understood what she was trying to tell him. When he climbed onto her back she made sure that he wouldn't fall and then started running. Her strides were long as to make it less bumpy for Alec. She wanted him to feel comfortable after him being in that terrible place she felt bad for him. Maybe he should have checked up on him earlier than today. Sully had to take the long way to where she lived because of Alec. She couldn't exactly jump from rooftop with him on her back. It was still relatively easy to run and with the spell she had learned recently she could make it to the top with Alec. She suddenly had a thought. He couldn't stay where she slept. It was on a roof and if she stayed there then he wouldn't be able to get down without Sully, well, not easily at least. She instantly changed her route and when she stopped she wa infront of an old hotel. It looked small and there was only one car in the parking lot nearby, signaling that it was quiet. A perfect place for Alec to stay for now.

[Alec M'Crae]

The strides felt a little like rocking, and every stride she took made him even sleepier. Still holding on, he fell into a light and dreamless sleep. His mind was still working hard and filling his mind with questions. Where were they going? Was it safe? Why is it so far away? Is that why she's running? Probably. He felt Sully come to a hault and his eyes opened slowly. It was an old hotel he's never seen before that looked rundown and empty. It didnt give off the best aura but if Sully stayed her- even though she didn't, it must be safe. He trusted her enough. Alec looked curiously, his lips moving again. It was quiet, and it soothed his mind because he could never sleep at the asylum from all of the screaming.

[Sully]

The truth was Sully had stayed here a few times. It was her backup. The staff knew her and she knew them. They were all friendly. She looked up at Alec to see what he thought and saw that his mouth was moving again. "Trust me Alec, you'll be safe here." She murmed to him and walked in. She pushed the door open and a small bell went off. The person at the front dest jumped as if a shot had just gone off. He looked at the two quizically, but then saw that it was Sully and smiled. "Two rooms?" He asked Sully and she shook her head. "One will do." He nodded and tossed her the key. She thanked him and started to walk to where the room was.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec looks at the man, but than looked again and rested his chin on her back. (I think he's still on her back... Lol) Sully started to walk again and he tarted to like it here, it was so peaceful and silent, forcing Alec to let out a yawn. He couldn't ever recal yawning because he never thought about it in the chaotic place he lived in. Alec liked it, and it made his eyelids grow heavy. It didn't look like anyone else was staying here either so there shouldn't be anything in thenbuilding to wake him up either.

[Sully]

Sully turned the corner then started to count the dor numbers. Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four. This went on until the room number twenty-nine came up. Sully smiled and turned the key in the lock. The door swung open and she looked at it. There was one bed, a couch, an old tv set, a desk, a mini fridge, and a bathroom. Sully tossed the key onto the desk and gently set Alec on the bed. She rolled her shoulders a little and smiled warmly at him. Tonight she'd sleep on the couch. Tomorrow she'd see how he fared and decide on what to do next.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec's fingers dug into the bed and the sheets were soft and warm. He smiled back at Sully with pink cheeks just because it looked cute and crawled under the covers. The pillows were also really soft on his head and realized Sully needed a pillow to. He took one from underneath the other fluffy pillow ad held it out to her. Now he had a hard time keeping his eyes open even though the light was still on and flickering as it was running out of juice to work. He felt bed for Sully too though. That couch looked very uncomfortable right now but he disnt want to give up this bed for it and he wasn't sure she'd want to sleep next to him either.

[Sully]

Sully smiled as Alec crawled under the covers. At least he was comfortable. She gently took the pillow he offered to her. She hoped that he would have a good sleep. She then turned and set the pillow on the couch. She rumaged around in the drawers and found and extra blanket. She went back to the couch and sat down. "Goodnight Alec." She muttered. She whispered a small phrase under her breath and the lights flickered out. She smiled. She was getting better at this spell stuff.

[Alec M'Crae]

Alec shared one last warm smile to her before the lights flickered out and he fell asleep to the sound of silence. The boy dreamt of nothing which was even more peaceful, and he shuffled around in his sleep at times for so necessary reason. Thankfully he didn't snore or scream. Thy would of sucked. Eventually early in the morning he ended up hugging his pillow tightly like a person, half of his face buried inside it. It was kinda cute since he had a soft smile to it too.

[Sully]

Sully hardly slept at all. She kept waking up and walking around for a bit before laying back down again and sleeping for a little while more. She made sure to be quiet and not wake Alec, but she felt like she needed to run some place. She was used to always moving and only sleeping for a few moments at a time. Finally she just fell asleep. This time when she woke up the sun was rising. This time she didn't try to get to sleep again. She sat on the couch and left herself to her thoughts. I should get him a more permenate home. She thought to herself. She wanted Alec to be happy, but it wasn't like he would follow her everywhere she went.

Sully stood up and went over to look at Alec. She smiled at how cute he looked. Sully wondered if she should wake him or not. It was afterall the morning. She sighed. It wouldn't hurt to start moving. She was afterall going to buy him a coat to keep him warm. Sully knelt down infront of him and debated how to wake him. "Alec? Alec?" She whispered quietly as she gently shook his shoulder. She didn't want to startle him, but she did want to start the day as soon as possible.

[Alec M'Crae]

It took a little bit of time to wake Alec up, but when he did, he let out a long, deep and squeaky yawn and hugged the pillow tighter, almost begging to sleep a little more even though it would be impossible to fall back asleep with the light that beamed through the window. His eyes were half open and he just looked at her, his activeness was just creeping up so he was still half asleep. You could even see it in his eyes since they were dull in their bright blue colour. Hid lips moved faintly again, saying something only he could understand, yet it seemed as if he wasn't talking to Sully, but not to him either.
