Serenity looks at him. "You work for those demons?" she asks in horror. "I would run away. Run and never look back. Demons I tell you." she says. "They are not people...they are monsters." she says softly. Looking at him. Smiling warmly. And takes his hand in hers. "I like you Caleb. I like you a lot." she whispers. And then she looks at him. "I know. But your my friend. And friends help each other out." she says softly. "I wish I could rescue you. Keep you with me. I really like you." she says softly. Thinking to herself.<span style="font-style: italic">I probably could. But would he let me?</span>She puts her hands to her ears. "Ow...what was that a banshee?" she asks. Looking around for a banshee. "Oh its just the monster women." she says. Giggling a bit. And she holds his hand again.  And they arrive at his house.<span style="font-weight: bold">The step-mother was standing there looking pissed off. She started shrieking at Caleb.</span>"Leave him alone!" she says softly yet firmly.<span style="font-weight: bold">The step-mother looks at her. "And who the hell are you?!" she demands.</span>She looks at her. "That really is none of your concern. You will start treating him better or you will be wishing you had." she says firmly.
