New character warning!

~~~~Manami
As told, I went to talk to Painter about what happened. I walked into his room. His lights were off and the windows were opened. The room was painted dark blue and black mixed. There were paintings and drawings all over the room. I saw one that intrigued me.
(Thanks darkmist02 for actually drawing this.)

I smiled as I looked around. I found Painter in his bed, drawing. I walked over and looked over his shoulder. He was drawing another picture of me.
"Why are you drawing me?" I asked.
"Because...when I feel sad or upset I draw who's on my mind. You just so happen to be the person I'm thinking of." He said as he continued drawing.
I smiled a bit. "So you're thinking of me?"
"Don't flatter yourself ES." He laughed a bit.
I crawled onto his bed and laid on my stomach in front of him. "Do you mind telling me why you're upset?"
  "Yes I do mind tell you." He said as he continued his drawing not looking at me.
  "Please. Puppeteer tells me that you're upset about what happened with Kagekao. Please don't blame yourself. It's not your fault." I said putting a hand over his.
He sighs. "It's not that. I just feel like shit since I couldn't prevent this from happening. If only I let you sleep with me, maybe you nor Mike would've gotten hurt. Now I don't care if your dad yells at me, I don't want you sleeping alone."
I smiled. "You really care about me huh?"
"I do. You're my best friend besides Puppeteer." He said looking up at me slightly.
"I want to go find Kagekao. Please come with me." I begged.
He looked at me shocked. "Wait what?!? Why?!"
"Because I want to end him! He's done so much that I want to end his life! He hurt Mike now he has to pay." I growled.
"Please don't do this. I don't want you to get even more hurt." He said as he placed a hand over mine. Our hands were stacked. Mine above his and his free one above mine.
"I won't. I'll find more information about him. I want you to help me. You have connections. You could help. Please." I said looking him straight in the eyes.
I looked at me with fear and nervousness in his eyes. "I don't know ES. This could get you hurt."
I gave him the bitch please look. I slid my hand from under his and sat up. I lifted my shirt a bit and showed him the many scars in me. "I think it's a bit too late for that."
He looked at my stomach and sighed. "Fine. But promise me you won't get hurt."
"Fine. I won't." I smiled as I put my shirt down.

~~~~[Later that morning]~~~~

Painter, Puppeteer,Rowan and the twins decided to come with us. Mike wanted to come but we made him stay back. He was already hurt and if he got hurt again because of me, I wouldn't survive.
"So...where are we heading?" Rowan asked.
"There is these girls I know. They might have some information." Painter said.
  "Names?" I asked.
  "Lila and Alisha. Their twin sisters. They live in this burned down town. It's not too far from here." Painter explained.
"Nice. We should hurry up then. I don't want anyone to see us." I nodded.
"Agreed." Electra said.
"Yeah. Plus I'm tired." Joueur said rubbing his eyes.
"You baby. I've stayed up for like a week straight! How do you think I feel!?" I laughed.
"Oh shut it ES. Yeah we get that you saved us from the normals." Rowan said smiling.
I paused a moment. "What? No I didn't. Painter did. I helped him. If anyone saved us it's him."
Painter shrugged. "Nah. I don't like to think that I'm all that. I didn't save you guys."
"Yes you did Painter. Don't deny it." Electra said.
"Whatever you say." He smiled a bit.
I nudged him. "You like the attention?" I whispered.
"A bit yeah." He smiled back down at me since I was shorter.

~~~Another Short Time Skip~~~

We got to the village and we saw one house standing above burned wood from previous standing houses. As we walked to the house, I felt...a bit strange. New territory makes me anxious. We walked to the house. It was barely standing. Painter walked to the door and knocked.
  A girl with blue hair and green eyes stepped out from the door.

  "Oh. Painter. What are you doing here?" She asked.
  "We need information and I was wondering if you knew something." Painter said.
  "Oh uh alright." She said shyly. She let us all in and I sat on the floor. She seemed shy. The house was neat but also a bit torn.
  "What's your name?" I asked.
  The girl sat down on the couch as the rest stood behind me. "Bloodied Mercy. My real name is Lila. What's yours?"
  "Eyeless Splatter. Call me ES for short." I said.
  "Is that your real name?" She asked tilting her head.
  "Nah. I just don't feel like telling you." I said with a smirk. Painter kicked my arm. "Fine. My name is Manami."
  "Nice to meet you. Who are those guys?" Lilia asked.
  "Rowan, Electra, Joueur, and Puppeteer." I pointed to each of them.
  Lila smiled. "Oh I've heard of you guys! You guys are so cool!"
  I blushed a bit embarrassed. "Heh. Thanks. I'm not that special."
  "Thanks!" Electra smiled.
  "Hey! We're famous!" Rowan said.
  "We're not famous Rowan, just heard of. There's a difference." Joueur said.
    "Let her have her moment." Puppeteer said.
  "Alright guys. Back on topic. Do you know anything about a man named Kagekao?" I asked Lila.
  "Uh a little bit. You could ask my sister though." She said scratching her neck.
  "Oh. Where is she?" I asked.
  "In the basement. I'll go get her." Lila said as she got up and left for a second and came back with another girl.

  "Hello! My name is Alisha!" She smiled as she waved to us.
