Bloody Shame...

-The weather get's colder as people start getting ready for Fall!-

Melissa walks to a job interview as leaves fall around her... She sees a shp window with creepy displays inside "Shit, everybody's already gettin' ready for Halloween and it's not even Fall yet! Hah... then again, it's 'never too early' right?". She sighs as memories come up... "I shouldn't be too upset, my life's been like Halloween ever since...", she suddenly hears crying!!? Then turns to see a frail looking child crying on his knees... The woman ran to him...

"A, are you okay?!" she asked "Please don't let him have pissed off parents, waiting to hit me: I probably shouldn't approached him too fast..." she thought. The blonde looked up at her... "It's o,okay, i, it's f,fi, ine..." he stuttered then got up and ready to go... Melissa rose her voice "Wait, I can help: please tell me?", he looks at her, then sighs in already defeated sounding voice... "A, Alright... I, I, I'll tell you, but it'll be hard to believe: I'm Erin a Temporal Manipulator..". She looks surprised "You can control time, then!!!?", He replies "Yea, but... it's not helping me, now...". Melissa asks "Why? How can it not?", Erin explains "Me and my friends are visiting the country, so... We kinda have a hard time finding our way around... One of us is with our caretaker, but the other one: Shani, is suppose to meet me here... But... but...". The woman watches in curiosity as he starts to cry... "She gets ran over by a Amtrak!", Melissa steps back "W,w, wait, you mean you watched your friend get hit, and you're trying to save it from happening?!". Erin sniffles... as she continues "No wonder you look so pale...". He then explained "I, I, I, I guess I could from that, but... it might be more from my ability: all the REALLY strong ones hurts people... And I've used mine ...1...2..3... 6 times already...". Melissa looks surprised "7 times!!!? Damn...", Erin starts crying again "I don't think I can save her, especially now...". The Woman smiles sadly "You might be hurt, but if I go: maybe I can? My ability let's me do a little more than normal people could!", he looks up at her "R, really?? Sh, she's kinda close, it's just that I can't get there in t, time...". Melissa looks up at the nearest train-station... "She's there, righ?", he replied "Right..." he then suddenly looks alerted!

Erin looks at a clock tower... "It's almost time!!!", they race to central station!!! Erin quickly runs out of breath and falls to his knees "Please hurry, Melissa!", she gives him a confident smile as she keeps going "So he really can't get to her, I half expected this to be a prank: but his eyes and the way my blood's churning, means I might see something horrible in a minute....". Melissa enters the station to see a beautiful, frail looking girl crossing the tracks!!! "What the hell?! Where's the bars that're suppose stop people from doing stupid shit like this?" the Anemic yells! The girl suddenly winced in pain as the train came, Melissa bites her thumb to create a 'hand! to grab her... but it hits!!! Everybody screams as the train keeps grinding the body into the tracks!!!

...time then rewinds...

Melissa jumps in surprise... then notice... "We're back here?", Erin replied "Yeah, I set it to rewind, everytime she dies...". The woman stares at him... "HOW exactly does thiw work?", the boy gets his cellphone and pulls up a example... "This is how our caretaker explained it: Normally, when people travel through time, with a machine or a ability: they travel to a different timeline..." the example shows someone walking from one line to another... "Temporal Manipulators can alter the current timeline: them and whoever's with them, will be able to alter it, up to a point. We can't change reality, so the destiny of the timeline can't be changed, but smaller events probably can be..." his cellphone shows a person holding and twisting a line... He then turns it off and explains "That's why you and me are the only ones who knows that I'm doing this, and why I haven't disappeared out of existence. I'm trying hard to change Shani's fate... but I don't think I...", he sniffles then tries to look determined "No! it's not her destiny to die now, right?!". Melissa leers "Right! Let's try again!" she hurries off...

Meanwhile... Faire and Ciel are doing errands, until they both see Jonathan and Mark... "Hey Faire!". "Hey, watcha been up to?". Faire looks surprised "You guys....", they smiled "Aw, don't identify us with something's wrong!' Heh, heh...", Mark adds "Though, there IS something we need help with..". Faire replies "What?! What is it?... Alot of creepy stuff happened, so....", Ciel looks up "We're kinda on edge, I mean our friend just got into a fight last week...", the guardians look surprised at her! "!!You can see us?!", "What the heck?!". She explains "Um... Faire was right when he said stuff happened: it's been good, bad/creepy and surprising!", Jonathan smiles... "Well, this is the first I heard of it, but'll make it easier!", the two listen as he explains "We sensed a Temporal loop around here, and we're ordered to fix it: normally, no one could sense them, but us Guardians, as it's a ability only a High-Rank Science-branched Time ability could cause..". They stare in surprise as the Guardians explain "Your friend, Melissa is trapped in one, and neither she or the user, knows it.", Marc then adds "Pretend She's been trying to help the kid, but... he used his ability too many times, before!.". Jonathan adds "He warped the area around himself and trapped them inside, the rest of the world won't know, except us Guardians on the outside. But they're receiving orders to 'protect their child' but... Me and Mark can go, we just need one more person to help save the girl, while we fix the time warp... Somebody who doesn't... follow the rules."", Faire sighs "I see, I'm the only guy existing between Guardian and a pedo..." he Angel Steps to the station in time to see Melissa save Shani, but a car suddenly swerves by and hits both girls, killing Shani in the process!!! Jonathan glares as Ciel gasps in horror "Now, when time turns backward!!"...

Ciel raced to the scaffolding overlooking the tracks, Faire leaps off and races to Shani "I can pull her off and stop Melissa from ever needing to get close to danger!" he thought. At the same moment Whitecelle notices she's broken out of the timeloop!!! "Thank you!" she says to the other 3 guardians, she then turns toward Melissa as she grabs Shani...  "Dammit!!! She just didn't go across?! It's too late to turn aro...", Whitecelle suddenly pushes her, causing the woman to seemingly 'leap across' the other side!!! The Amtrak speeds by!!!

People gathered around immediately as it looked as if she lept across the track, with her... Erin pushed through the crowd, breathing heavily... "S, s, s, s, Shani... y... y... you're okk, k, k, kay!". The crowd watches as she looks up groggily "Yeah... b, but what happened to you? You look sick!!", he smiles "I, I'm okay... thanks to... th, this lady, here...". He walked to Melissa as Shani helps him stand... "She saved us both..." the crowd looks surprised as a surprised look comes onto her face "I did?!".  Shani looks worried "You did♪", Melissa stands "I, I'm glad I di, did! You're both alright now, right?". Erin smiles "Yeah... but I'm s, so hungry...", Shani giggles "Then let's get something before we find Mr Koppaio!♪", she then sighs "But we're taking you to a doctor 1st!"... The 3 go to a clinic, then meet up with Erri later...

The kids spread the news around about Melissa saving them...

That night, Melissa gets in bed "It's strange... I'm happy they're okay... but... I didn't put my hands on that girl: everybody assumed I did, because she launched off the tracks with me... How..." she thought as she looks at her cell, she then smiles "Wait... I forgot..."Thanks... Whitecell..." she puts it down and drifts to sleep...

Whitecell holds her face "My precious child... You must thank thy friends too, for they have helped you... The very fact you realized this, despite all you hast been through ist the reason I love you...", she rubbed her soft face as she finished "That's why I hateth the Karma and pain you hast endured and shalt feel, for even through all this, thy only want tto be with thine friends and only dream of your parents...". A bloody tear rolls down Melissa's cheek...

- The text on Melissa's Cell was a suggestion from Erri, to start a band like when they were younger...-

TYPES OF GUARDIANS

IN THIS SITUATION, THERE HAS BEEN 3 TYPES OF GUARDIANS: ORIGINAL,  TRAVELING AND ASCENDED HUMANS. THE MOST COMMON ARE THE TYPES WHO FOLLOW A INDIVIDUAL HUMAN FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, PROTECTING THEM AND LETTING KARMA STRIKE WHEN NEEDED OR WHEN ONE CAN LEARN FROM IT, THEY FIND ANOTHER CHILD ONCE THAT HUMAN'S LIFE HAS ENDED. TRAVELING GUARDIANS DON'T STAY WITH ANY HUMAN, BUT INSTEAD MUST TRAVEL THE EARTH TIRELESSLY TO HELP OTHER GUARDIANS WITH THEIR CHILDREN, IF THERE'S A UNFAIR CASE WHERE BREAKING THE LAW COULD RESORT IN A WORSE OUTCOME FOR THEIR CHILD, THERE ARE FEWER OF THESE GUARDIANS AS THERE ONLY 2-4 IN EXISTENCE, NOW. LAST, THERE ARE ASCENED HUMANS, WHO TURNED GUARDIANS TO LEARN A LESSON, VIA TAKING CARE OF A HUMAN BEING FROM THIS WORLD, FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES OR FOR A SET PERIOD OF YEARS, THEY ARE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING A NATURAL GUARDIAN DOES AND CAN CHOOSE TO STAY ONE IF THEY DO A PERFECT JOB, BUT, THEY HAVE TO LIVE BY THE SAME LAW AS ORIGINAL GUARDIANS AND CANNOT TOUCH THEIR CHILD OR INTERFERE WITH THEIR LIVES IN ANY WAY: THIS LAW IS INSTINCTUALLY EMBED INTO THEIR MINDS AND SOULS FROM THE TIME THEY ASCEND. (THIS IS THE REASON FAIRE'S SO WORRIED, AND WHY THE OTHER GUARDIANS WERE CONCERNED) THIS IS THE CAUSE OF MANY SITUATIONS WHERE THEY'D PRAY, CALL FOR JONATHAN AND MARK, OR IN THIS CASE: CALL FAIRE, WHO HAS ALREADY CROSSED A LINE EVEN HE DIDN'T KNOW HE COULD (IT'S ALSO PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR A GUARDIAN TO TOUCH A HUMAN UNLESS THEY WERE TO DIE)
