A family. (Private/Riley)

It had been another day where Chronos had run away from the orphanage to see his sisters as he was lost in a alley and heard the people in the orphanage as he climbed up a roof and jumped down into a river disappearing as he walked out and saw a girl and ran towards her and hid behind her as he said panting,"Help..hide... from people." Chronos looked at her black hair and hid behind her as the orphanage people came.

Riley was just aimlessly walking with Theo beside her. Suddenly, a silver haired boy came running towards her and hid behind her. She was kind of surprised. She looked at the young wolf, who seemed just as confused as her. She was about to open her mouth but he spoke up. "Help...hide...from people." 

For a second Riley didn't understand what he said, but then she saw some men frantically looking around as if to search for someone. One of the men spotted Riley. She stood straight so that her body would cover the boy as the men walked towards her. "Excuse me miss, but have you seen a boy running past here? He had silver hair." 

Riley smiled politely at them. "Well..yes. I did see a boy running by. He went that way." She pointed at the direction she was facing. "Oh, thank you so much." They ran off. Riley didn't know whether to feel sad for them or start laughing because the direction she pointed them at was the way to the junk yard, owned by a grumpy old man. That man will not spare these people. Riley turned around and looked at the boy with a raised eyebrow, waiting for him to explain. what just happened.

Chronos walked from behind her and said,"Thanks. Those were people from the orphanage, I ran away looking for my sisters and maybe a family." Chronos looked around and put his hand out as he said,"By the way, I'm Chronos, whats your name?"

Riley shook his hand "I'm Riley and this is Theo" she pointed at the young arctic wolf. "Well, do you want any help finding them?" Riley knew that finding a family is the happiest thing for an orphan. After her family passed away, even she wishes she had a family but apparently her wish never came true. The least she could do was help someone find their family. She smiled at the boy.

Chronos glared into Rileys eyes as he spaced out and started seeing her memories and when he came back to earth he looked at Riley and said,"I think I just found my family." Chronos wanted to cry a bit as he hugged her because he thought about when his parents had died and the 2 years of almost starving to death and he said as one tear came out of his eye,"Will you be my sister?"

Riley was surprised at Chronos's behavior. She didn't know what to say. She felt her shirt getting slightly wet. Her features softened as she began to understand what the boy had gone through. 'I guess it wouldn't be bad to have a younger brother' She thought. She smiled before pulling Chronos apart from her. "Of course, I'll be your sister"

Chronos smiled as he said,"Thank you." Chronos was filled with joy and wanted to explode when he forgot one thing, they needed to go to the orphanage to get him out. Chronos said as he grabbed her hand,"We have to go to the orphanage first." Chronos started walking as they neared the orphanage and once they got there it started to snow.

Riley was pulled along by Chronos, with Theo following them. As they entered the building, it began to snow. Theo stood there, gazing at the snow. Riley stopped. She walked towards him and kneeled down "Stay here boy, We'll be right back." She ruffled his hair before going back to Chronos. "Let's get you out of here." She said with an enthusiastic grin.

Chronos smiled as he walked into the orphanage with Riley and the person at the conter said,"CHRONOS, GET TO YOUR ROOM NOW!" Chronos sat on the able and said,"Nope, I'm getting adopted." Chronos watched as the man scoffed and they he jumped off the table and pushed Riley to the table to finish the work and all she had to do was sign.

Riley is pushed to the table where she had to sign the papers to get Chronos out of this hellhole. The man at the counter took a good look at her before frowning. Riley raised her eyebrow at him "where do i sign?" The man simply waited for a few seconds before handing her a sheet on which she signed after scanning it carefully.

As Riley was signing the paper Chronos watched intentionally as she finished signing and Chronos jumped in the air with excitement as he went back to his room and got a sword and said,"So, Where is your house Riley?"

Riley looked at the boy as he was carrying a sword. She slightly scratched the back of her head at the question he asked 'what do i tell him?' "Well, you see Chronos, I don't currently have a home. I;m staying at a hotel since i got kicked out of my house and now i'm working to buy a new house." At the end she cracked a sheepish grin. She didn't want Chronos to be disappointed.

Chronos did not care at the moment and as long as he had a sister he was okay, Chronos said as he started to walk out and pat Theo,"It's alright, as long as you're there im good." Chronos smiled as he put on a jacket and gloves as he started to play with the snow.

Theo wagged his tail happily as he was being patted by Chronos, Seemed like they would get along quite well. She walked into the snow. "Well then, there are a few rules if you want to stay with me." She said with a serious expression on her face. "And that is to have all the fun you can" her expression changed into a grin as she threw a snowball at Chronos.

Chronos fell to the ground after he was hit by the snowball as he flipped up and grabbed a snowball as he threw at at her and said,"We can go anywhere you want, but after I crush you in this snowball fight." Chronos threw another snowball and engaged in battle.

Riley was laughing and throwing snowballs at Chronos. It's been a while since she's had that much fun. She grabbed a snowball and threw it at Theo, who was currently covered in snow. He shook the snow off as Riley smiled at how adorable he looked. The next snowball was thrown at Chronos. She was really enjoying herself.

Chronos dodged some snowballs and then was hit by the remaining snowballs as he said,"I surrender, you win." Chronos wiped himself off as he said,"Anywhere you wanna go?" Chronos smiled as he patted Theo wiping off his fur.

Riley thinks for a while before she gets an idea. Her face lights up. "How about we go have some fun." With that Riley starts walking. After some time they reach the crowded streets of Magnolia town, where as usual families and friends are together, enjoying themselves. Usually, Riley would feel sad watching them but not today. Today, she smiled as she looked at Chronos.
