*They arrive at the hotel that Lucas is staying for the night* CMon let's go

Illust: *grabs onto the end of his sleeve n followed*

Tom: *looks at Illust disapprovingly as he protected Lucas all the way to his hotel room

Luke: *smiles and takes the young girl into the suite*

Illust: *sees the suite n squealed at the sheer grandness of it all. Runs abt like a kid in a park n started bouncing on the bed*

Luke: Better take it easy, you just ate

Illust: *realized that she was in rags n would dirty the sheets, so she sheepishly climbed dwn the bed n stood at a corner*

Luke: *smiles at her and takes her to his clothes closet*

Illust: *looks at the closet, then smelt herself n cringed. She stank real bad*

Luke: Cmon, wanna bath?

Illust: *nods sheepishly, blushing*

Luke: *escorts to the bathroom* Cmon. Let's get you cleaned up

Illust: *follows behind him, n oogled at the beautiful setting of the bathroom*

Luke: Cmon, let's get you cleaned up

Illust: *takes off all her clothes n sat in the tub. Not only her clothes were dirty, bt so was her whole body. It was literally caked with mud n grime*

Luke: *smells himself* Well, I need one myself. *The bath tub itself was huge to fit 7 people. So he got himsel undressed and got in* *he looks for the scrubber and starts washing the little girl*

Illust: *squealed at the feeling of the scrubber on her*

Luke: ^^ You okay, Illust?

Illust: *their tub is near the mirror, so she scribbled TICKLES on the fogged up glass*

Luke: I know it does. Now hold still

Illust: *tries to, bt can't help giggling n squealing everytime the scrubber tickled her*

Luke: There we go. *smiles at her* all cleaned up

Illust: *shivered n shakes the water off like a dog*

Luke: There you go, all clean now. *gets out of the tub and helps her out, getting the young girl dried off*

Illust: *shivers n shakes her head like a dog to get rid of the water, splashing it everywhere*

Luke: Hey hey hey! Not like that. *Gets a towel around her and dries her off* That's how you do it

Illust: *pouts, her face written "Sorry" all ovr it*

Luke: It's okay. *starts combing the young girl's hair* You're looking prettier by the minute

Illust: *blushes as she let him comb her hair, which was rather long till her butt*

Luke: Do you like it in a ponytail or a braid? *wants to ask her before he does so8

Illust: *sees a notepad n pencil n points at it*

Luke: *Gives the young girl the notepad and pencil* Here you go

Illust: *draws a braid on the notepad*

Luke: A braid it is. *hums Man in the Mirror as he does her hair*

Illust: *looks at the mirror, seeing his reflection helping her doing her hair, then blushed*

Luke: There you go, Illust. *gets himself dressed up and leads her to the bed*

Illust: *draws a clothes then a question mark beside it, pointing at her naked body*

Luke: Look in the drawer right there. *points to the middle one* There's a nightgown

Illust: *goes to get it n put it on, although it's bigger than her, bt she didn't mind. She slowly crawls up to the bed*

Luke: *Gets on the bed, wearing blue silk PJs with the letters "LO" on his right sleeve*

Illust: *sees the letters n giggled at it*

Luke: Like my PJs? *pats her head*

*Luke gets himself into bed, get the spot next to him ready for her*

Illust: *crawled up onto the spot*

Luke: *gets the covers pulled over* there ya go

Illust: *hadn't felt a warm bed ever, tht as soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell right asleep*

Luke: *kisses the young girl on the cheek and goes right to sleep*

Illust: *towards the middle of the night, started to have night terrors of someone reach dwn n pinning her*

Luke: *starts hear her and wakes up* Huh? Illust?

Illust: *in her dream she felt the painful intrusion btwn her legs n she started screaming*

Luke: Illust! Wake up!! *shakes her awake*

Illust: *her eyes snapped open, tears flowed freely out of them*

Luke: Are you okay?

Illust: *sees Luke, bt because it's quite dark, she thought she was still in her nightmare n couldn't see Luke's face. She screamed n scratched his face before clambering off the bed to escape*

Luke: *winces in pain, tears falling from his face* Illust!

Illust: *she crawled quickly to a corner, hugging her legs close to her chest n rocked to and fro like a mental patient, sobbing bitterly*

Luke: *goes her* It's me, Luke...*turns on the lights*

Illust: *eyes squinted as the light turned on, then sees Luke, still rocking to n fro*

Luke: Are you okay? *he tries to comfort her*

Illust: *shook her head n sobbed, dun want him to come any closer*

Luke: Shhh....*holds her close* *he notices a locket around her neck* What's this?

Illust: *knew he was looking at the locket n clutched it tight, not wanting to show him. Tht locket has been ard her neck forever, bt she nvr knew the origin. She knew she had it, just dunno frm whom n instincts tell her it was very important to her*

Luke: Can you open it? please?

Illust: *frowns n opens it for him*

Luke: *he just gasps* That's my brother....and his wife

Illust: *looks up at him, confused*

Luke: *takes out a picture of his brother and himself*

Illust: *looks at the picture n points at his one instead of the brother* Nuu?

Luke: That's me...that means....you're...family

Illust: *looks at the picture of his brother n the one on her locket. She didn't recognize them. She nvr knew those were her parents. To her, it was just a man n a woman in the locket. Looks at it, confused*

Luke: *hugs her close* *the young pop start gets his cell phone and gets a call to his personal doctor*

Doc: *picks up the phone* Dr. Phinaeus speaking

Luke: Hey doc, it's Luke

Doc: Ah, Luke, good to hear frm u. Anything I can do to help?

Luke: I gonna need a blood test

Luke: I found a young girl who could be a relative

Doc: Oh? How soon do u want me to be there?

Luke: ASAP

Doc: Alright. I'll there first thing tomorrow morning

Luke: Thank you. *hangs up*

Illust: *still huddled against teh corner, not wanting to move out of the initial fear*

Luke: Hey Illust. *offers a glass of water*

Illust: *sees the water n took it, drank it slowly*

Luke: Are you okay now?

Illust: *nods her head, starting to get sleepy again after all the hype*

Luke: *Takes her and puts her to bed*

Illust: *curls in the covers n fell asleep, her hand still clutching the locket*
