(Are we going back to the original order now? me, Doc, Alex?)

(Aria, you should post)

(Okay.)

Carefully, Harley got into the car and sat in the far end, beside the window. She buckled and then looked out the window, wanting not to look at the girl or the man that had adopted her. She'll probably get a better look at them later, and hopefully learn their names. A mental note to self, she thought, to stay silent the whole ride to the man's house. She wouldn't wanna be a bother.

Doc hummed quietly to himself as he got into the driver's seat and started the engine, which roared to life with a wonderful noise. The man pulled off his tight leather gloves, revealing the bony, pale, patchy skin beneath them and he gripped the wheel then pulled away from the orphanage after confirming his two new charges were in fact in the vehicle.

Alex had followed them both out and sat opposite of the girl, still holding Keera gently. "Were exactly is your house?" She asked, making sure her hands were covered and any skin. People always said curiosity was her downfall, that is, the people who actually accept her..... Alex glanced out the window as they started moving, the scenery shocking her. She usually hated being outside, but this view of the world raced past her was beautiful.

Harley was entirely zoned out, so it puzzled her on how the other girl's question caught her attention. "Where exactly is your house?" She asked. Har glanced up at the driver, expecting an answer. Hopefully it wasn't too far out. If she ever needed to run away, she would want someone close.

However, a different question was still floating in the back of her mind. How to properly vent her anger... What did that mean? And Harline wondered why the man would say that too, it was so out of the blue. (That rhymed. lol)

"I have a place," was Doc's only response to Alex's question and kept on driving. Get up aside, one might almost think he was sane.

"Here we are," he said after about an hour and pulled into the parking lot of an old warehouse that was pretty big.
Doc drive the Camaro to one of the many garage's and opened it with a button then pulled in.
The inside if the warehouse proved to be surprisingly... Homey. Next to where Doc parked the garage there was a large, carpeted area with a very plush looking sofa and a big TV. There was a kitchen and four blocked off areas which were bedrokms

Alex was a little curious when he didn't directly answer her question but let it slip as she stared out the window and petted Kerra.

When they drove into the driveway, she was shocked that someone could live in this place, until he pulled all the way through and she saw the furniture. "Wow!" Was all she could say to describe the place. Ok it might have been a bit bright, but she loved his place already. i wonder where he got all this stuff she bought as she winced slightly from the brightness of the room.

"Wow!" The other girl said, waking up Harley from her half sleep. She opened her eyes a little to look out the window. It was nice, better than any house she's lived in before... That is, better than any house she's lived in before after the orphanage. She was a little puzzled though as to why they were at a warehouse. Did he live here, or was it a stop? She didn't want to ask questions though... She just wanted to stay quiet and in the background.

He opened the door for the girls and then walked around. There were no walls separating anything except for the four bedrooms, which were actually just large cargo crates that he had furnished with beds and carpets.

Keera hopped out of Alex's arms and then jumped onto a sofa and curled up.

"This is a cool place you got here.………" she paused, not knowing what to call him and just looked around, allowing Keera to jump out of her arms. She was used to going with foster parents to an abusive home, with many other children. So this was a big shocker to her. Smiling, she followed Keera over to the couch and sat down, making sure she wasn't sitting on Keera's tail or paws. She was about I say somethig else when her stomach growled slightly. She knew she wasn't normal, but she had to eat regular food to keep her body in shape.

((Sorry for the late reply, I was grounded for two weeks and my dad took away my cell and my comp))

(Sorry I'm responding so late too. I haven't been on the laptop in a while.)

Har looked around. It was very nice. Lots of space, and spaces closed off that needed it. She went on to wonder how large or small her room would be. If its anything like her previous homes, she won't even have a room. But to make sure...

"Um... D-do I have a room?" She asked quietly, staring at the ground. She mentally hit herself; she should've asked in a different way, so she wouldn't sound so pathetic.

"Yes," he nodded at Harline and point to the cargo crates, which were lined up neatly, "Zee vun on zee left is mein," he informed them, "Neizer of you enter my room under any circumstances, even if I ask."
The masked man sat down on the couch and turned on the TV. He was somehow getting German television, but only one channel. Everything else was normal television.

Alex glanced up at the TV and watched him flip through the channels, pausing a couple times to look at something on one of the channels. She plugged her headphones back in and turned them on the highest volume, sticking them in her ears once again to escape reality.

Harline watched also as the man flipped through the channels, then turned around to go to her room. While she walked, she stared and the ground and thought, 'What's so bad about his room that we can't go in there?'

A few moments later, Har reached her destination. She looked to the left, where the man said not to go. 'I won't touch anything. I'll just go in, look around, and go back out. One side of her thought. The other side said, 'NO! Have you not learned your lesson from the other one hundred times?! DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!'

So, Harline just stood there for a second, thinking.

Doc looked back almost the second she started thinking about it.
"MEIN BEDROOM ZENSES ARE TEENGLING! ARE YOU TRYING TO GO INTO MEIN BEDROOM?" he called unnecessarily loudly, "DON'T DO EET!" he then pulled the earbuds out of Alex's ears, "Too loud. I don't even have ear drums and I can hear zat," he said and turned her iPod down to 50% volume then gave it back.

(Didn't know if you want to still continue this or not, but I'll continue just in case.)

She jumped at him yelling at her rather loudly, and she held back some tears. You think by now she would be stronger. But really, all her experiences have done is break her down and make her weaker.

"Uh, I-Im sorry..." She said, used to apologizing all the time. 'Stupid Stupid stupid! I tried to tell you! You can't do anything right!" Said a voice in the back of her mind. Hardline sniffed and left into her room, wiping some loose tears. She couldn't help but be mad at herself. But she held in her anger, like always.

(I do want to continue what happened to Alex in the RP since the character was deleted?)

Keera hopped down and followed Harline into her room then jumped up an cuddled against the girl.
