As the two walked, Kitty mainly kept to herself. She was just too busy thinking about all that had happened in the past few hours. A little ways ahead of them, the beach started to turn into a dead grassy field. Snow covered the ground and signs of all life had vanished for the Winter.
I think Takato needs to know.. That could of been a thief... Or someone like that.... But then why would they run away from the house if they never came in...?

Riddle watched it all, a little fascinated by it all.
"That...was...strange...."
Takato said. Shona had escaped. That was not good, not good at all. Riddle would be really depressed now.
"H-hello?"
Takato whipped around to see a girl with red skin.
"Ashley?"

As the scenery continued to flow by them, a tiny house began to come into view. The house was truly not that big, only large enough to maybe hold about 5 people in it. It was made entirely of brick, as it was surrounded by tons and tons of trees. For some odd reason though, as they got closer to the house, the chill in the air became cooler. Frost could now be seen on the ground... And it was entirely covering the house.
"Well... There it is.... Home sweet home... I guess.."
Autumn decided to go upstairs and alert Takato now. As she quickly ran up the steps, she heard a young girl's voice. It was one that she had never heard before either.

Riddle shivered, then looked at it.
"It's nice."
But...he wondered how all the frost got there.
The girl nodded, shying away from Takato.
"Yes...?"

"I guess... It's becoming a tad bit small... But it will do for now... Plus, it's home... The only home my daughters' and I have got..."
The house was in full view now. There were very few windows, and the windows that were there were quite dirty. shingles were missing off of the roof and even bricks were missing here and there. Frost covered everything, making it look like an igloo almost. As the both of them walked around the side of the house, a pair of silver-white eyes could be seen watching them through the various windows.
Autumn appeared right behind the small Phoenix girl.
"Ummmm.. Takato.. I have something important to tell you..."

"It looks like it's in disrepair...I could help you fix it up, if you'd like."
He looked over the house, it was going to need a lot, and he was guessing it'd need a heater, if it was covered in frost, like it was.
Ashley screamed with shock and ran behind Takato, grabbing his pant leg and peering around it.
"Who a-are you? G-go away!!"
"Quite Ashley...what is it Autumn?"

"Yes... It is... But none of us have the time, money, or knowledge to do it.... So it only gets worse."
Kitty walked up the front steps, going up to the door. She knocked on it lightly three times.
"Emily dear? Are you there? It's Mommy sweety."
No sound was heard at all... However, frost started to build up around the door. There was no cause that could be seen for it frosting up that fast though.
"Ehhh... Sorry to disturb you Takato... But I saw a yellowish figure running away from the house a few minutes ago. It was going rather quickly too."
She looked down at the little girl, smiling.

"That was Shona..."
Takato sighed, they could probably still catch her, but he couldn't leave Ashley or Natu. And Ashley wouldn't let go of his leg.
"Like I said, I could help you fix it, no cost..."
He looked it over again, then glanced at Kitty.
"Emily?"

"Really? But... Why would she run away? She seemed so happy here... Other than she wasn't growing at all...."
"What about her?"
Right then, the door creaked open, the frost shattering as the side of the door broke through it. There, in the entrance, stood a very pale blue Hououza child. She was wearing a full-fledged wedding gown. She had the vail as well as the bouquet. Regardless of her beautiful outfit, the Hououza herself was a walking zombie. Her whole left arm was nothing but bone. She didn't have a single ounce of skin on it. The skin that should of been covering her right leg was literally falling off of her bones. It almost loked like a sock or something. She had hole in her left cheek, as well as one in her right rib. They went straight through her, letting you see her boney-body on the inside. This girl also had no blood nor muscles. She was merely bone and skin. There was also a little green maggot with pink lips and dark purple bags under its eyes sitting on top of her dark blue hair.
"Hello Mother...."
She then looked at Riddle, the air gradually getting colder around him, frost starting to form on his clothes.

Riddle jumped literally 10 ft. in the air and hovered there. He was not assuming that Emily was undead. That was why he was shocked. Riddle would've tried blasting her with his gun, if it weren't for the fact that she was calling Kitty her mother.
"She was depressed. She didn't have any friends, and she didn't like it here. She masked her true feelings..."

"Oh... Poor Shona.... I feel so bad for her...."
Autumn then clapped her hand onto her head, her eyes starting to spin around somewhat. Her other hand went directly to her stomach.
"Uhhhhh......."
Kitty couldn't help but to laugh at Riddle's reactions.
"What's wrong with you Riddle? It's only Emily. She doesn't bite or anything."
Emily looked up at Riddle, the frost on his clothes starting to grow somewhat.

"I-I don't really l-like the Und-d-dead..."
He shivered and waved his arm. The frost broke into pieces and floated off.
"Autumn!"
Takato shook Ashley off and ran over to her.

"Ahhh... I see... Don't worry about Emily though. I'm not sure how long she's been... Part of the Undead.. But she's with me now so she won't harm you."
"Mother... That man is acting strangely..."
"I know Emily... He's being silly is all. Now, go and get Floe and pack your things. We're going over to this man's house. Plus, Autumn is there."
"Autumn is there?! YAY!"
With that, the little girl took off, one of her fingers falling off on the way.
Autumn had now collapsed onto the floor. She was holding her chest in pain and her eyelids were fluttering wildly.
"Taaakatoooooo......"

Riddle floated back down shakily.
"I'm not a big fan of the undead...ever since Bonez (different from the Dragon) attacked me when I was young...I've been scared of them..."
Takato blinked, not getting why she was fine one moment, and writhing on the ground the next. Then it hit him. She was growing. That had to be it.

"Ohh... I see... Well, trust me. You don't have to worry about Emily. She's a good girl, both her and her pet maggot."
Kitty simply smiled.
Autumn was breathing heavily on the ground, still clutching her stomach and head.
"Taakaatoo..... Beeed... Pleeeaaasseeee.."
