Hey guys! Sorry for leaving you on another cliffhanger X3.. I'll try not to leave too many cliffhangers.

Lance and Keith had been walking up towards Keith's house, mainly talking and racing. lance had used "the Naruto run" which ended up leaking into the topic of anime (which lance loved).

"That's bull crap" Keith said, "Noragami is totally better than Naruto" He added, looking ahead of them. Lance was about to argue, when he spotted something in the corner of his eyes.

He paused, His heart seemed to beat slower. His eyes widened as time seemed to slow down. He spotted it again, moving through the fields near Keith's home. And he spotted a familiar face. And leaning on his shoulder, was an axe. A rusted, and stained axe.

Keith had been talking, when he paused and turned to him, "Lance?" Keith turned to the frozen lance, and tried to look where he was looking. When he finally spotted him, his eyes widened, and he grabbed lance's hand, rushing off down the street.

Lance was looking behind them as the familiar person dashed forwards, chasing after them, the axe clenched firmly in his hands. He could feel the color draining from his face.

Keith looked at lance, "Keep running! We have to keep running!" He said, trying to stay calm, but his voice was ragged. Lance sped up, running side by side with Keith. They didn't stop running for a while longer. Keith gripped Lance's hand tightly, "Keep running!"

The two boys bolted into an ally, hoping to loose him in the darkness. But only as they halted in front of a dead end, did they realize that they were trapped. If he found them, it would be game over.

Lance and Keith huddled in the corner behind a trash can, it was dark there. Keith held tightly onto Lance, his eyes wide with tears in them. Lance had his eyes closed, his forehead resting on Keith's neck. Tears were flowing rapidly from his eyes.

After half an hour, Keith finally spoke up, "I think.. I think we lost him" He said, letting out a relieved breath.

Lance was still terrified. The color had drained all from his face, and he was trembling rapidly. "I.. I hope.. so.." He said.

Keith looked at Lance and sighed, resting his head on top of lance's head, "It's okay. He's gone now. You can relax" he soothed.

Lance took a deep breath, nearly fainting, but Keith quickly lifting him up and held him close, "Don't faint on me now, I don't want to carry your ass home" he chuckled.

Lance was staring off, blankly now. Why. What is making my father want to do this.... "Keith.. can we go home... please..?" Lance asked, standing up.

Keith shook his head, standing up as well, "I don't think we should go to my house. It might be dangerous. Let's go to Shiro. Maybe he can help" Keith took lance's hand and gently guided him out of the alley, aware that he was emotionally hurting, Poor lance. He's been through so much..
