We have ran into the middle of the woods, we stop when we hear a roar. I look to my side and see a tiger, then it goes behind some bushes and it starts making noises. when it stops I see a boy appear, it's Gar. 

"How?" I say. 

"Don't worry. I don't bite. Well come on" He says to me and Rachel and he puts his hand out towards me. I look at Rachel and nod, I then take his hand and we all started to run.

We are in an abandoned cabin, I start to light a fire, while Gar gets some more sticks.  

"It's not too far from here. We'll just warm up for a bit" Gar says. 

"What's not too far from here? Where are we going?" I say.

"Someplace you can chill" Gar says. 

"I can't chill. You don't understand. I'm changing, and I can feel it. And it's getting worse" Rachel says. 

"Well no worse than with the crew I live with. Trust me. We're special too" Gar says, 

"I'm not special, I'm dangerous. You saw what I did back there" Rachel says. 

"And you saw what I did back there. You're not scared of me, right?" Gar says. 

"No. No. I have seen a lot more scarier things then you turning into a tiger. Trust me" I say. 

"Plus I blew a roof off a church and you're still helping us, so.." Rachel says. 

"I got green hair, freaks all around, I guess" Gar chuckles. 

We then hear a gunshot, and we run out of the cabin. 

"Leave it alone" I say as I walk in front of the deer. 

"What the hell?" one of the men says. 

"Where'd you come from?" the other man says. 

"Leave it alone" I say again. 

"Go home, girl. Go on. GET!" the man says. 

We then hear a growl and I look to see Gar there in Tiger form. He scares the men and they fall and shot themselves. 

"Get outta here" I say and they run. 

Gar then starts to turn back into Gar, I then turn around to check the deer, Rachel comes beside me and touches its wounds. 

"Hey. Hey. Hey" Rachel says. 

"Don't look, okay" Gar says behind me and I don't look,I just concentrate on the deer. 

"I know you're scared. I'm sorry they did this to you." I say. 

"I should've done more than roar. The truth is, I've never bitten anybody before. Blood grosses me out" Gar says. 

"It's dead" I say. 

"You okay?" Gar says to me. 

Rachel starts to cry. 

"I'm sorry" I say.

"Sophie, Rachel, there is nothing evil about you too. Nothing at all" Gar says.

"You don't know that" I say. 

"Yeah, I do. I have a pretty good instinct about this kind of thing. Come on," He says and we walk off. 

We are walking then we come upon a large house (mansion).

"Woah. You live there" I say. 

"Come on" He whispers as he walks towards the house and we follow. 

"We're going down here?" I say. 

"Oh, yeah. Cool, huh? Come on" Gar says as he runs down the stairs. 

"Go ahead" He whispers. 

"So, what is this place?" I say. 

"I call it... Nirvana" Gar says. 

"Holy shit" Me and Rachel say. 

"You wanna a pop? I got everything. Root beer? Orange crush? Grape crush?" Gar asks. 

"Grape" Me and Rachel say. 

"That's an original. 1948. You ever see it?" Gar says. 

"Aren't you a little young to be watching something so old?" I say. 

"You mean classic. I've got every Abbott and Costello meet a monster" Gar says. 

"Yeah, you're a geek, aren't ya?" I say. 

"About classic films, vinyl and video games? Yeah, check, check and check" Gar says. 

"So where'd you get all this stuff?" I say. 

"You know. Around." Gar says as he gives me and Rachel our drinks. 

"It's vintage" Gar continues. 

"I don't get out that much." he says. 

"Yeah" I say. 

"Yeah, they died" Gar says as I look at the picture of him and his parents. 

"Mine died when I was a baby, so I never knew them" I say. 

"My mum died as well. She was all I had" Rachel says. 

"So, who were the people you were with at the roller rink?" Gar asks. 

"My brother and a friend" I say and he just nods. 

"So, if your parents are gone, um.. who lives here?" I ask. 

"That is a complicated answer" Gar says. 

"Gar" We hear someone shout. 

"Uh-oh" Gar says. 

"Who is that?" I ask. 

"The complicated answer" Gar says. 

"Gar! You down there?" the voice shouts. 

"Now you both need to hide" Gar says. 

"Hide, from what?" I say. 

"Just hide, please!" Gar says in a innocent voice and puts us in a wardrobe. 

we hear heavy footsteps. 

"Hey, Gar" The voice says again then we see a robot appear. 

"Hey Cliff, what's up dude?" Gar says. 

"Who were you talking too" Cliff says. 

"Uh, myself. Come on, Gar. You beat Super Mario World, you can beat this."

"Oh. Where were you today?" Cliff asks. 

"Down here. Duh" Gar says. 

"Bullshit. You went to town again" Cliff says. 

"My controller broke and I had to go get a new one. okay? I knew I could get there and back before Chief came home" Gar says. 

"Oh, shit. kid!" Cliff says. 

"relax. no one followed me. kept a low profile." Gar says. 

"you want to keep a low profile, you wear a hat. " Cliff says. 

"Funny!" Gar laughs. 

"you know, that's a good joke. I heard another good joke, why was the robot mad? because someone kept pushing his buttons" Gar says. 

"Keep pushing them, there'll be a green-tiger skin rug in my bedroom. Dinner. One hour. Come tell Larry what you want, brat" Cliff says as he walks out the room. 

"Okay. I'll be up in a minute" Gar says. 

"I was not put on this Earth to babysit" Cliff says. 

Gar sighs as Cliff leaves. 

"That was close. Three players?" Gar says as he walks away. 

The doors swing open. 

"Gotcha" Cliff says and Rachel screams.
