Leo ducked at the touch, smiling sadly. "Mommy won't want me back." He said sadly, the smile disappearing, his hurt seeming to fill the room. He didn't cry though.

"Yes she will, she loves you very much and did not want to leave you at all, but you were ill and your mother wanted you better." he said

Leo shook his head, pushing at Randy with surprising strength. "Don't lie. She doesn't like you, they said so." By "you" he meant mythic people in general, his parent's feared the mythics, they'd said so often enough

Randal let the push bring him back against the chair. "She may not like us but she did not wish for her child to die." he said, knowing Leo was rationalizing his mother leaving him. "Now calm down little one, if you wish you can use the telephone to contact them." he said kindly.

Leo glared at Randal for a moment then nodded slowly. "I want to talk to my mommy." He whispered softly.

Randal stood slowly, shifting Leo upright and walking over to the phone, whichwas suprisingly modern in comparison to the rest of the decor. "There."

Leo moved to the phone and picked it up dailing the number slowly. He glanced at Randal, then back at the phone as it started ringing. After a few rings his mother answered
"Hello?" She answered, her voice tired sounding
"Mommy?" He asked hopefully.
"Baby, oh god, Leonard, is that you? Jonathen, Leo's on the phone!" Leo heard scrambling sounds on the otherside of the phone. His mother sounded like she was about to cry, and his fathers vioce was soothing her, as always.
"Mommy, Daddy! When are you going to come get me mommy?" He asked, starting to cry. He sobbed into the phone, wrapping his arms around himself as he spoke. "I miss you, I want to go home."

Randal sat down at his desk, watching Leo talk to his family with sorrow, sad that Leo had been forced away from his family.

There was a pause in the other side of the phone, Leo heard his father mumble something. "I'm sorry baby, don't cry, you'll make mommy cry too. You can't come home yet, but we will come to visit you, I promise, we'll get you a present, what would you like Leo?" She asked, her vioce breaking as she spoke
"I just want to go home..." He sobbed out, moving to sit on the floor. "Mommy, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bite daddy, please let me come home?" He pleaded, his child's voice filling the room as tears ran down his face.
He heard the phone moving around and his fathers vioce. "Son? Listen to me Leonard, you have to be strong, like we talk about, remember?"

Randal rubbed his temples, unsure of whether or not to go and hug the boy, he wanted to calm him down but was unsure if the boy would accept it.

The phone switched hands again before his father could continue. "Leo, it's fine, I understand, but we can't take you home sweety. Are you feeling better?" She asked.
"Alittle." Leo whispered softly, fiddling with the phone cord. "Mommy, where's my blanky?" He asked.
"Oh no, I'm sorry baby, I forgot, I'll bring it with me when we visit." She responded.
"When are you going to come?" Leo asked, rubbing his eye.
"I'll come tomarrow, alright?" She asked. "Who are you with?"
"His name's Randal, he's like me." Leo responded, whispering softly.
"Give the phone to him and go to another room." His mother ordered.
Leo looked up. "She want's to talk to you." Leo said softly, offering the phone before moving to another room, as she'd ordered.

Randal nodded and took the phone. "Yes?" he asked as he took a seat again and watched Leo leave

The phone crackled as speaker phone was turned on. "Hello Randal, my name is Elizebeth, my husband is John." She spoke softly, her vioce dropping down as Leo stopped talking on the phone. "Could you tell us what happened? Do you know?" she asked.

Randal leaned back in the chair and he sighed. "One of my people attacked him, I do not believe they ment to change him, young ones such as him are hard to keep alive, therefore he must have been an adolescent..." he stopped speaking, uncertain of whether or not to continue, to tell them of what the man had done to their son.

"Continue." John ordered, sensing the man had something else to say.
