In a dark room, a single light glowed. The phone screen was on full brightness as it's owner read the text with a wicked grin.

"My shiny knight strikes again"

She felt a shift in the bed beside her which made her grin slowly fade. The body that laid peacefully after a rather eventful night meant nothing to her. She was only using the poor boy as a means to an end. Simply a way to be the best she could be when she finally had her knight.

Jim was leaning against the wall with a cigarette with Cid who was looking at him with disgust. Eve just stared at him annoyed.

"Do you have to always be smoking or something?" Cid asked. Jim nodded. His cheek had bruised but he refused to put anything on it. He had his shoulder wrapped but he refused to discuss the fight with anyone besides Ted and Pip. "Do you have to be here or something?" Jim shot back. Before Cid could fire back, Ted and Pip showed up with Oscar right behind them. Ted still had his bandages plus new wrap on his hand.

He already had an earful from Steph and Eve but it only got worse when Olivia started to panic and Lilith lectured him on using her "babies" to keep hurting himself. Ted just agreed to not let it happen again as Dr. Feel Good wrapped his hand. In the end, they had won yet another battle. At least, they kind of won another battle. Leon was still walking around as if nothing happened and since no one really witnessed the event, nothing might as well happened.

"So, you took his knuckles?" Oscar asked. Jim gave a small wave as a greeting while Eve looked away at the sight of Ted. "Jim has them actually. Pretty nice pair to." Ted stated. Jim raised his hand to show the golden knuckle hanging on his finger with a grin. "Where's the other one?" Eve asked. Pip smiled widely. "TIS A TROPHY OF TED'S VICTORY!" He declared. Both Ted and Oscar jumped to cover the blonde boy's mouth as to not alert any stray SDC members. Pip nodded as an apology and the two boys removed their hands. Everyone eventually settled before Olivia and Jose showed up. Olivia took her seat next to Ted while Jose stayed as far away from Jim as possible.

"So is your hand getting better?" Olivia asked. Ted looked it over and nodded while Jose glared at Jim. Finally Jim had enough. "There something on my face or what?" He asked. This caught everyone's attention. Jose just grunted and turned away. Jim just scoffed and went back to his own mind trying to enjoy his cigarette. Everyone didn't know what to do so they just ignored the whole situation. Ted handed Olivia the brown paper bag Pip had given him, Pip must've caught on because he was making two lunches for Ted, and Cid continued to update the index.

"So, did I shoot up after that fight since he was a big dude or, how does that work?" Jim asked. Cid finished his update and showed it to Jim. "Because Leon had such a big index, i figured i'd give you guys double. Though it took both of you so really you got 150 points. Still pretty impressive." He complimented. Jim gave a hat tipping motion before taking a drag. Though the two bickered a bit, they did seem friendly. Hell, since they all silently agreed to help Ted with his situation, they've been getting closer with a few exceptions. Olivia wasn't complaining, she finally had a group of friends and everyone had finally warmed up to her much to Ted's enjoyment. He enjoyed seeing her happy and not so, alone.

The door opened and out came Lilith and Steph who was carrying her violin case. "Hey guys." The younger one greeted. She placed her case down and Oscar looked around. "Full roof. Never seen this before." He mumbled to himself. He turned back to his food before Lilith took a seat next to him. "William was looking for you. You should head that way before he comes looking." She suggested. Oscar just rolled his eyes and started on his way.

-------

The halls were filled with students standing around talking and such while the rooms were either empty or filled with students enjoying lunch. Also in the halls was a young girl who wore a mischievous smile. Almost every guy would stop what he was doing just to look at her. Her skirt was shorter and her blouse was tighter. She didn't mind however, she was a predator looking for her prey. With a wicked tint in her eye and a goal in mind, she marched on. No man can say no to her after all.

"I'll be by your side always."

Those words stuck with her since she was a child. The boy who had made that promise was sure to keep it. He was, after all, her knight in shiny armor. Just thinking of him got her excited.

---------

Oscar sat on the finely crafted chair while William looked over the various files that laid across his desk. One of them, was his. "Is there a reason you asked me to be here or are you just going to waste my time?" He finally asked. William looked up to him from the file before setting it down. "That depends if you are going to waste my time. Demons have been popping up left and right and suddenly your brother and his friend are all wrapped up like mummies in Egypt. Convenient isn't it?" Oh, busted.

William sighed and crossed his arms. In truth, he had no real evidence of any kind to link these recent fights to the boy but he had a hunch. "I would like to know what exactly caused those injuries." William asked. Oscar just sighed as he stood up. "Yeah, i'm not doing this." He laughed to himself. As he turned away he was quickly knocked right back into his seat and kept in place by a rather strong leg. He looked up to see a skirt. Luna glared down at him with a killer intent. Oscar just grinned. "So I see you're wearing pink today." He winked. Luna pulled away but remained close as to stop him from running.

"You know, this isn't very professional. Holding a student against their will." Oscar pointed out. William pushed forward his file. "You and me both know you can leave whenever you like." Oscar just stared at the file before him. He could only make out one word. "Expelled."

----------

Olivia sat there, peacefully enjoying her lunch, when she found herself looking at Ted's hand. She couldn't help but worry for him considering he was her friend. Friend. Yeah. Friend. Friends can hold hands, right? Ted watched from the corner of his eye as her hand slowly reached out towards his. Ted didn't say anything when she gently grabbed it and held it. He gently squeezed back but didn't make an effort to pull away, opting to leave it be seeing no harm in it. Jim and Pip saw this but choose not to say anything before the door burst open. Ted, Jim, and Pip all got ready for another attack but were surprised to find someone they didn't expect.

"Hello there boys~." The new arrival greeted.

She was here to find her knight, and she did find him. Ted noticed the girl staring at him with great interest. Olivia and Eve even caught this, Olivia feeling a sense of dread in her gut, causing the two to stand. "And who are you?" Eve asked. The girl looked over her glasses with her smirk gone. "I would ask you the same but who doesn't know the famous princess of freshmen and the, infamous, daughter of scaleless." She said, her voice laced with venom. Suddenly both Eve and Ted recognized the girl.

"You're, Whitette Stone. You're the girl from homeroom." Ted recalled. The girl smiled. "So you do remember." She grinned. Tension suddenly rose as Whitette stood there, hands behind her back, and everyone else stayed alerted. Was she part of the demons as well? "What did you want?" Everyone turned to Olivia surprised. She talked? Whitette didn't seem to care but only walked towards Ted in a playful manner. Her hips swayed as she took slow steps. She stopped in front of him and slowly place a finger on his chest, making her way up to his chin. Olivia was now blushing while Eve was boiling with rage. "I'm here for you. My knight." Whitette revealed.

Cid quickly scanned through the index but found nothing under her name. Jim stayed alerted regardless with his knuckles ready while Pip stood by ready to jump in should anything happen. Ted was just about to loose his composure but refused to. He had to stay strong and not give in. For his friends. Whitette was not making this easy however. She gently pinched his chin and pulled his face down to her level. She leaned forward and suddenly everyone was on their feet. Lilith pulled Steph behind her while Eve and Olivia had no idea what to do. Ted panicked for a brief moment but collected himself when she moved right past his face and instead whispered in his ear. "Meet me back here after school."

She pulled away and turned on her heel before disappearing away into the building. Everyone was left in silence as they tried to figure out what the hell just happened.
-------
Oscar tapped his foot while William was going down the list of names under the watchful eye of Luna. William was right, he could just go whenever he wanted but he knew that would be the end of his school career. He didn't care really, he could just go to a public school, but if he wasn't here he wouldn't be able to help his brother. William finally finished his rant and looked around the room.

"Luna, where is everyone?" He asked. Luna just shrugged and Oscar took a look around as well. Now that he thought of it, he didn't even notice anyone leave the room. Wait, was there ever anyone here? "They must've left to enjoy lunch." Oscar joked. William was unamused. "They deserve it I suppose. They did do good work the last few weeks." He commented.

Oscar just groan in annoyance. "Screw this." He sighed as he stood up. Luna moved to stop him again but stopped dead in her tracks. William noticed this before his eyes went wide. Oscar stood there, Luna's leg in his hand, as he stared her down. No smile, no snark, nothing. He had caught he with no effort at all. He threw her leg back but she stayed frozen. The look in his eye, his stare. It was horrifying.

"I'm leaving." He simply said as he walked out of the room. As soon as the door closed Luna fell to her knees shaking. William even let go of a breath he didn't know he was holding. "What the hell was that?" Luna asked. William just looked down at Oscar's file and opened it slightly. "That was Oscar Yelawolf." He then smiled.

"Our ticket to glory."

Ted was restless in PE. Lilith noticed this while she watched him actually try in the class. Mr. Johnson even noticed this as he continued to compliment the boy. Ted didn't even listen. His mind was running in many other things. For starters, the Demon problem was always there, non-stop, forever, until he beat them all. There was also Olivia and the whole hand holding situation. Oh and the fact that Whitette Stone was going to meet him on the roof after school for a reason only God knows.

"Ted?"

She wasn't part of the Demons, Cid made sure. She didn't really pose much of a threat either but honestly, you never know here. She could be a unknown member or something.

"Theodore?"

What was that whole hand holding thing about earlier? Olivia has never done something like that before. She was getting more comfortable with people but honestly she was still shy so doing something so bold was just so out of character for her.

"YELAWOLF!"

"WHAT?!"

"Class is over you dolt."

Ted looked around and saw that there was only him and Lilith in the entire gym. Ted apologized and headed to the locker room where he changed into his uniform. When he left the room he found Lilith waiting for him.

"So you going to go meet her?" She asked. Ted made his way across the hall to join her with leaning against the wall. She was looking out the window with her arms crossed. "I have to. If there's a chance it could be something important I have to check it out right?" Lilith just sighed. She handed him a new pouch filled with Black Boom Booms before heading down the hall. "Don't hurt yourself this time." She waved.

Ted looked at the pouch and stuffed it into his bag before taking off to the other direction. He turned the corner and found Steph standing there holding something. "This is for you." She said handing the box to him. Ted looked it over and stuffed it into his bag as well. Why question things at this point? "I'll check it out later." He said. Steph nodded. "So you going to the roof?" She asked. Ted nodded. "Can I come?"

"I don't care. I guess I could use the backup." The two began their march towards the roof before Ted noticed something odd. A student was staring at the map hung on the wall. At least, he thinks he's a student. He wasn't wearing a uniform and it seemed as though he was staring off to space rather than the paper in front of him. A brunette with longer hair tied to a bun. Around his neck was a metal necklace with a odd logo.

Ted then noticed the boy's hand. Bruised knuckles. He's a fighter. He looked like he was Ted's age. On his cheek was a small scar. Steph noticed the boy as well and looked to Ted who just shrugged. "Should we talk to him?" She asked. Ted looked back to the boy who was now looking at him. He didn't really have a choice as the boy began to walk towards them.

"Excuse me, do you know where the head master's office is?" He asked. His voice was deep. Wait, the head master's office? That was on the third floor. Literally right around the corner. With the big sign that said headmaster. Really? It was right there. "Uh, it's over there." Ted said pointing down the hall.

The boy looked to where he was pointing and spotted the sign. "Oh. Thanks." He simply said tiredly as he turned to make his way down the hall. Ted looked to Steph. "Can you kinda, follow him in case he gets lost?" He asked. Steph nodded and headed off to follow the boy. No one would hurt her since she was no real threat nor was she really involved in anything. But for now, Ted had a girl to meet.
-------
Oscar sat at his desk in the empty class as he looked out the window. He was thinking, for once, about what to do. On one hand, Ted was his brother adopted or not. He had to help him right? On the other hand, he could help him by helping the SDC. They could take down the Demons themselves and Ted wouldn't have to worry. The only problem with that would be Ted getting into trouble as well.

"Oscar Yelawolf thinking? Never thought I would see the day."

Oscar turned to face the voice. Standing there was a figure whose face was covered by the shadow caused by the setting sun. Oscar knew who it was regardless. The voice was all too familiar to him. "So, what's troubling you mate?" The figure asked.

Oscar didn't respond. He just turned back to the desk. He didn't have to listen to him. "Earth to Oscar. Calling in Oscar. You there buddy?" Just ignore him. He'll go away. "What? You too good for your friend now?"

"What do you want Drake?"

The gang leader simply smiled.

"A favor."
---------

Ted wondered why he actually came here. There was nothing holding him to this yet here he was. Whitette was leaning against the fence watching the sunset waiting. Ted would admit that she was attractive but he didn't know much about her besides what he gathered from homeroom. She was Stone's daughter, Redmond's twin sister, and was in his grade. That was it. She also called him a knight. What was that about? Suddenly she turned to him and smiled.

"You came."

Was she, happy? Relieved? Ted wasn't one to listen to rumors but he has heard a few here and there about her. She seemed to be quite popular with the male demographic. Looking at her uniform it was easy to see why. Honestly it made Ted quite uncomfortable and he even felt almost embarrassed for her. It was one thing for the head mistress to wear what she did but this was a young girl who needed a bit more respect for herself. Regardless, she seemed to relax when she saw him.

"Yeah. It seemed important and I wasn't doing anything anyway." He explained. She didn't seemed bothered by the response but instead looked around to make sure they were alone. She then walked over and took off her glasses. Her green eyes glowed in the light as her blonde hair flowed in the breeze. Fall was coming soon. Ted almost forgot. With everything that has been happening, he's forgotten to actually stop and look around.

"Well, I actually have to ask you something. I want to see if you remember something." Ted raised an eyebrow. "Ok then. What?" He asked.

"Do you remember July 14th 2014?"

Suddenly, a memory lost, was remembered.
