Before Ashley could even react to who was standing before her, Shifter began walking toward her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and rapidly pushed her back inside, shutting the door behind him. Ashley took a few steps backward from him staring at him with a confused expression.

"Hey what are you doing here!?" Ashley finally shouted at him. Shifter stood there leaning against the door for a moment, one hand on the door as he tried to catch his breath. He had obviously been running for a little ways,, that was plain to see.

"I couldn't just leave you here alone on your own. These unicorns are dark and mysterious, some are on our side, some work for the king. I can't leave you here alone, the king definitely has it out to get you and the thought of you being right under his thumb kills me." Shifter replied between breaths. Ashley crossed her arms, feeling rather frustrated that Shifter was putting himself in danger. She had had enough of losing her close friends at this point.

"I can handle myself here on my own. I can't lose anyone else Shifter, these missions only kill those I get close to and you're the one I am closest to. Over everyone else, you've gotten the closest since Strider. You're all I have left." Ashley replied, whispering the last part as she looked to the ground. Shifter collected himself fter a small pause then walked over and lifted her chin.

"I'm not like Strider, or even Justin. Those two loved you dearly, and they gave their lives to keep you alive.But as for me, I won't just give my life away to keep you alive. I will fight, I will fight to stay alive for you and I won't leave your side." Shifter replied softly, his forest green eyes staring deep into her blue eyes. Ashley stood there quietly before answering him. She had to let his words really sink in as she searched his eyes for any hint or trace of a lie or any hint of doubt. But all she saw was how genuine it really was.

"Very well Shifter, but you will have to keep yourself out of sight. I've been working alongside Prince Yama, who is in fact revolting against his own father." Ashley replied. Shifter listened to her words before having to stop her.

"Wait wait, it sounds like there is much you will have to fill me in on." Shiter said as he took a seat at the small round table in Ashley's tiny apartment. Half of her living room was the kitchen and her room was very small, made to fit in a small twin bed. The bathroom was fairly small as well, with a small shower, toilet and sink.

"Alright so I guess I will start from the beginning." AShley replied as she began sitting across from Shifter after grabbing a small notebook from in one of her cupboards. She then opened the book, and began writing out a small map of the city as she told Shifter all that had happened to her thus far, and about Yama.
Never thought it would have taken me this long to get my small series going again. There is a light at the end of this chapter though, season 5 is coming to a close. Once I am finished with Season  I am going to take a hiatus on UAU so I can work on the official novel version of the story, smooth out the wrinkles, shine it up and flesh it out. I won't start up Season 6 until next summer. I will, however, look into writing a few more short stories off and on.
