"You're nice!" Exclaims Kalin. "Is there a schedule or something? Or can we do whatever?" She grabs her duffel bag. "Can you show me where my room should be after you answer? Also could you tell me when you turn twenty?"

"Ahh im not really familar with the schedules.." He said. "I think i also forgot where my room is. nd my birthday is in two days."

Magiere finished her coffee and turned to Timber "Thanks again for the coffee, I think I'll just wander around and find the training room myself." She said as it was clear Timber hadn't finished her drink and she didn't want to impose. She makes her way back to her room and finds Ayla asleep on the recliner. "Ayla I'm going to train, you coming?" she asks her wolf who instantly woke up and walked over to her. "Glad to see you're eager to work, after the way that other wolf over powered you, you need it" she said teasing her companion. She puts her leather and silver armor back on and makes leaves her room with Ayla behind her. She wanders the halls of the complex for a while and eventually finds a door marked Vampires I guess this is the place she thinks entering the room. Ayla froze with her fur at attention. "I guess we aren't alone in here" she says. The room is black, most people wouldn't be able to see but thanks to her dhampir blood, Magiere can see just fine. She sees a figure in the back of the room throwing knives at targets. "Ayla, relax, he's no threat to us." she says and Ayla instantly relaxes. She walks up to the man "Stellian?" she says only half sure it was him. As she waits for his reply she examines the room, there are targets around the room, some designed for hand to hand combat, others like the ones in front of the man, were designed for long range shots. "Ayla, there!" she says pointing at the hand to hand combat dummies. Ayla begins attacking them, making short work of them as the dissipate into smoke and reform. She keeps attacking them as quick as she eliminates them. Magiere watches with a smile.

Stelian paused as he heard the door open behind him. He threw the knife in his hand harder than he had been with the other targets and spins aiming the next knife at the door. Before he launches it he recognizes who it is. Quickly sheathing the knife he hears. "Stelian? Ayla, relax, he's no threat to us." After a gesture from his new company the wolf begins attacking the melee dummies. "No threat? Is that a challenge? I wouldn't want you to think that I can't hold my own." Stelian smiles his cocky half smile bowing slightly his arms spread. Once he stands he again draws one of his knives. "Well? Would you like to spar? As fun as attacking dummies is they don't give much of a threat." He removes his hat setting it on one of the benches along the wall. "Of course I'll offer you a drink of my blood before we begin. Make the fight a bit more interesting, and I'm sure your wondering how Day-walker blood tastes. Aren't you my Dhampir friend." He again smiles waiting for her response.

"No threat? Is that a challenge? I wouldn't want you to think that I can't hold my own. Well? Would you like to spar? As fun as attacking dummies is they don't give much of a threat." Of course I'll offer you a drink of my blood before we begin. Make the fight a bit more interesting, and I'm sure your wondering how Day-walker blood tastes. Aren't you my Dhampir friend." He places his hat on a bench and draws a knife. Magiere smiles ""I'm sure you'll hold your own just fine" she teases. "And yes I am, and although intrigued, drinking the wine of the vein is quite the intimate act, I think I'll pass." She says with a wink as she draws her falchion and saber readying her stance. She glances over at Ayla, "Stay out of this one hun, I wouldn't want you to hurt our handsome friend" she said flirtatiously.

"Don't worry Ayla, I have no intention of causing permanent harm to your friend." After a moment's pause to make sure Magiere was ready Stelian launched his attack. Using his superior speed he threw a rope dart in her direction expecting her do dodge it. As she rolled he launched another into the wall behind her flicking the wire it was attached to making it wrap around the hilt of her saber. He pulls the wire jerking the saber out of her hand and into his. He waved it around getting the feel of the weapon. "A good blade I can see why you use it in your off hand." He smiles and prepares for the coming attack.

(OOC: Working with Lax during these posts and he is working with me any character control is done with permission.)

A dart came flying towards Magiere, she rolls to the left dodging, a second dart flies over her head and before she can react a wire wraps around her saber and it flies into Stelian's hand. "Shit" she mumbled under her breath as she recovered. "A good blade, I can see why you use it in your off hand." he declares, getting the feel for it. Ayla stops attacking the dummies and turns to watch the fight, instinctively knowing that Magiere is already on the defensive, she begins to growl but stays where she is determined not to interfere. "It's a good thing I know how to fight with one" she retaliates. She steps toward him closing the distance so that he wouldn't have the long range advantage, hoping her superior swordsmanship will make up for his increased speed. At first she attempts to quick and fluid attacks where her precise movements allow her to sneak through an opponents defenses but his speed affords him the ability to parry each of her attacks He's not even attacking, just defending, what is this? she contemplates as she attacks. The sound of metal on metal reverberates through the room for ten minutes as the two battle. I need a new strategy. She takes a half step back and grips her sword in both hands and makes a powerful strike down towards him attempting to power through his defenses. She doesn't realize she has left herself open to a quick strike.

(OOC: I just want to remind you that you have to post more then one line posts, you can add a bit of how your character is feeling. It just givens everyone else something to go on Ok?)

Riley groaned, she dreaded the words to come next. 'World War 3' she whispered before a bomb went off in the distance, it shook the entire Facility. 'The goverment, want us to help. Millions of people have already died, They want us with our powers to help.' Riley said in dismay.

Timber finished her drink and stood up, suddenly the ground shook and the sound of a bomb went off. It was close and Timber needed to know what was going on. Riley had mentions something about a far off war but they had thought no more about it.

Stelian smiles Magiere's reply. She closes the distance and begins attacking him with the fluid motions of a master swordsman. 'It's a good thing I'm faster than her or she'd gut me.' For ten minutes Stelian held his own blocking every attack that Magiere made making none himself. 'I'd leave myself open if I attacked I'm nowhere near the swordsman she is. I'd get gutted in an instant. Suddenly she changed her attack style she went from fluid movements to drawing for an overhanded two hand smash. 'She left herself open. Time to end this. As her sword begins to fall Stelian dodges to the side kicking one of her feet out from under her throwing her off balance. Before she can correct herself he pushes her over pulling the falchion out of her hand as she fell. Leveling the two swords at her on the ground for an instant then placing both blades in one hand helping her up with the other. "A good fight though you need to be more patient wait for your opponent to give you an opening don't make one for them." He smiles as she stands handing her blades back to her. He walks over to the bench picking his hat back up and putting it on sitting where it was.

He motions for her to join him and after a moments hesitation and sheathing her swords she sits. "For one so young your mastery of the blade is unmatched. If I hadn't been so much faster you'd have gutted me in an instant." He smiles hopping she'd open up and accept the compliment. After a while he decided to ask. "So, tell me. What is your story? How did you get noticed enough to be sentenced here?"

Silas was having a nightmare. His body twitched every so often, his face contorted into a look of anguish, clearly upset by the happenings of his dream. This nightmare, however, was different from his usual ones. Bane wasn't tormenting him with the horrible visions of him torturing Silas's friends. This dream was different. Silas couldn't feel Bane's presence anywhere. Instead, Silas stood still amidst a scene of whirling chaos.

The sound of gunfire filled the air, its harsh percussive snap attempting to silence the world around him. Bodies lay scattered about the ground, the dead were so numerous, Silas wasn't even standing on grass. Silas looked down in horror to see himself standing atop a huge mound of corpses, their blood soaking into his shoes. Silas whipped out his wand and used a levitation spell to jump off of the pile and get away from the veritable hill of corpses. Looking around, Silas saw Sierra. "Sierra! I'm over here! Where are we? What's happening?" Silas called to her, but she didn't respond. She was sitting on the ground next to several bodies. Her arms were wrapped around her knees, and her legs were drawn up into her chest. Silas ran over to her, he knelt down next to her, feeling fresh blood soak into his pants. As he approached her, he could instantly tell something was wrong. She was muttering to herself, her eyes were blankly staring into nothingness, and her sword lay next to her on the ground, it's usual sheen gone. "Hey, this is no place for us, let's get out of here." She didn't respond. Silas reached up and placed his hand on her shoulder. As his hand touched her, she smacked it away, screaming, and crawled away from him as quickly as she could. "No!" She screamed, obviously horrified of Silas. Tears started to form in Silas's eyes. "What's wrong?" He said, barely able to hold back his tears, "it's just me. There's nothing to worry about. It's just me." "I know who you are!" She said, hysterical, and beginning to sob, tears running down her face. "Now get away! Don't you ever come near me again!" Silas felt his heart shatter. "W-what?" Silas asked, almost too shocked for words. "Why? What's..." Silas trailed off, he'd finally noticed the faces of the bodies lying next to Sierra. Firvin, Riley, Timber, Ouka, the burnt, ashen form of Revion, Shard, Asher, Kalin, Magiere, Ayla, Stelian, and Daine. Everyone from the Facility, even the people he'd just recently met. They were all dead. "Oh my..." Silas said, his knees finally giving, his hands flying up to cover his mouth. "What happened?" He asked, anguished. Sierra didn't respond, she only glared at him. That's when Silas felt it. A warm something was on his hands. Looking down, Silas screamed in horror. It was blood.

Silas woke with a start. He was breathing heavily and there was a thin film of sweat across his brow. Silas carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake the still sleeping Sierra and made his way to her bathroom. Silas turned on the cold water and ran it over his face. He felt his body snap awake. Reaching over, Silas grabbed a towel from Sierra's towel rack and dried himself off. "It was just a dream." He said. "That's where you're wrong." Silas heard himself say. Like smoke being poured into existance, Silas looked up with horror into the golden eyes of Bane. "What do you mean Bane?" Silas whispered. "What I have shown you, Cry-las, is a vision." Silas felt himself gasp. "What? What do you mean?" "Exactly what I said. That was a vision. If you don't shape up, you won't be able to protect them, and when that happens, when you fail, I will kill them myself." "Get out out of here!" Silas yelled at Bane. "There's no way I'll let that happen." "Easy little boy, all in good time. As it is now, I'm just a messenger. I'm on my way out, but take my words to heart Silas," Bane said, using Silas's real name for the first time for as long as Silas could remember, "bad things are coming. Things that will make me look like your very best friend. Don't say I didn't warn you." Then, as suddenly as be came, Bane was gone. Silas, visibly shaken, walked out into Sierra's room, sat down on the floor, and grabbed Tibbers from his bag, holding him close to his body.

Riley was clearly distraught over what she was about to say, she groaned and avoided making eye contact with Firvin "World War 3" she said almost inaudibly, just as she said it the whole facility shook in response to a bomb in the distance. "The government wants us to help. Millions of people have already died, they what us with our powers, to help" she said her voice filled with pain. Firvin was shocked, he could not believe his ears, how could this be happening? He was startled into non response at first, instead he just grabbed Riley and held her close in a hug. The action was filled with love hoping to comfort her in a way he knew his words couldn't. Eventually he had recovered enough to respond. "That's terrible. How can the government expect our help after how they treated us? Locking us up like animals." He pauses clearly angered, but he quickly composes himself "I'll do it, I'll help, but not for the government, for you, cause I know you'll go and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you." He said, hoping she wouldn't be too upset with him, they never really had agreed on the rightfulness of the governments treatment of non-human sentient creatures.

Riley consoled him, 'And I for you' She whispered as she hugged him tight. She wished for the war to be a horrible dream not reality, but if the war were a dream so would her life with Firvin and she wished for that not to happen. 'They didnt mean to treat us like animals, they were scared of us. Humans had never encountered such beings before. Beings that were more superior both mentaly and physically.' She finishes softly. she wasnt siding with humans just stating the facts.

Sierra felt the bomb shake her whilst she was asleep,
'Silas' She called through the rubble. She ducked as the building began to crumble, the walls came crashing down sending dusk everywhere. She coughed and rubbed her eyes, The sun was invisible in the sky. The light to the city was dim and almost non-existant. A scream escaped her parted lips but it only echoed, bouncing off the walls into nowhere. A silvery tear rolled down her cheek clearing a path through the dust that lay there.

'Silas' She called again her Throat sore and dry. No reply came as Sierra ran, she ducked under things and climbed to the highest point she could reach. The building was crumbling and dangerous but Sierra knew she was already dead, she must be because even if she wasnt she would rather be then without Silas. Sierra jumped her feet left the bricks and she spread her arms. She hoped for a quick end but she knew it wasnt possible. she scrunched her eyes and consentrated on his face.

She recognised him. The wings that mirrored hers, the black hair, blazing red eyes and the casual clothes. 'Lucifer!' she exclaimed as they landed. He bowed to her, 'Dearest Sierra, what on earth are you doing jumping off a building?' Sierra held back a giggle, 'I have lost my true love, i fear he is dead.' Lucifer didnt mask the hurt in his eyes. 'I must help you find him immediatly.' he declares offering her his arm. She slides her arm into his. Lucifer leads her to a park that on anyother day she would walk past. 'I must leave you now Sierra, I am sure you will find your way, but be warned. You may not Like what you see.' Lucifer turned and was gone.

Sierra turned to the park and walked in. She noticed the trail of footprints immediatly, they belonged to Silas, of that she was sure. She followed them until she came to a mound, she looked closer and saw the bodies of the people she knew, Timber, Riley, Shard, Kalin, Firvin, Ouka, Asher, Daine and everyone else. She looked up to the top and sat Sila's body, it lay there lifeless and limp. Silas didnt do this neither did her friends that left one being, Bane. He had finally found his own body.
Sierra shot up, she looked to her side but she found Silas not there. She scanned the room but he was missing. She opened her mouth and another scream escaped her lips.

She fell to the ground, Stelian's attack interrupted her own Dammit, I got impatient again . He helps her up offering her his hand, which she graciously accepts "A good fight though you need to be more patient wait for your opponent to give you an opening don't make one for them" He smiles at her handing her swords back to her. He walks over to the bench and replaces his hat on his head before sitting and motioning for her to join him. She thinks for a moment glancing at Ayla who was still nervous "Relax, I'm fine" she said and Ayla instantly calmed. She sheaths her sword and replaces her falchion on her hip. She sits down next to him. "For one so young your master of the blade is unmatched. If I hadn't been so much faster you'd have gutted me in an instant" He said to her with a smile. "Well thank you, I have worked hard to be the best, most vampires are from an older time and it's easier to kill them if you can beat them with a sword." She said with a smile. Just then Ayla walked over and sat at Magiere's feet. "So, tell me. What is your story? How did you get noticed enough to be sentenced here?" He asks her a little intrusively. Magiere reached down and began to pet Ayla's fur. "Well, I was simply minding my own business, hunting and killing every vampire I could find, when the government found me, turns out that even though aren't fond of vampires, they don't like it when someone kills so many of them, makes the public think the problem is bigger than they want them to know. How about you?" she asked him hoping for a reply, but before she could get one Ayla jumped to attention and began to bark, then the entire facility began to shake, it felt as if a bomb had exploded not far from here. "What was that?" Magiere said she knew that there was war across the sea but she hadn't heard anything about fighting nearby.

"And I for you" Riley whispered almost mutely again, hugging Firvin, tighter than before, Firvin couldn't see but he was all but sure there were tears in her eyes. "They didn't mean to treat us like animals, they were scared of us. Humans had never encountered such beings before. Beings that were more superior both mentally and physically." she said, her voice wavering, she didn't seem to be defending them. "I can not condone their actions, and I will not support a government that can not accept us for what we are, none of our kind have done anything to harm them, at least not until they tried to lock us up. I will fight but only to protect you, Silas, Sierra, and the others here. The government and their troops are on their own, they must defend themselves and I will not go on the offensive unless I need to, to keep you safe. Those are my terms. Now, I know how hard it was for you tell me this, but we must tell everyone, and I will stand by your side when you do. I....I love you Riley" Firvin's speech was filled with emotion and pain, a single tear fell down his face when he told Riley he loved her. He breathed deep holding her tighter, he kissed her forehead as he held her head gently to his chest. As he was holding her, he willed a plant from his room to grow, it extended its vines towards him and without looking he plucked a single rose from it before sending it back into his room, when he and Riley finally separated he handed her the rose which to her would appear to have come from no where. "Almost as beautiful as you, isn't it?" He said offering her a smile, hoping she would smile back before they went to deliver the bad news.

"Well, I was simply minding my own business, hunting and killing every vampire I could find, when the government found me, turns out that even though aren't fond of vampires, they don't like it when someone kills so many of them, makes the public think the problem is bigger than they want them to know. How about you?" Before Stelian could offer an answer a deep rattle shakes the facility. "I think we should head to the main hall I have a feeling something big is happening." Stelian quickly darts around the room collecting all of his knives and other utensils. Once he finishes he holds his hand out to help Magiere up again. "I'll tell my story as we walk." They begin walking to the main entry hall after a few steps Stelian begins. "I was an experiment by the Vampire Council. I woke one day still human bound to a table with multiple creatures standing around me. After a moment I was able to understand what they were saying. I was to be the first of many. The strongest vampire ever born i would be the beginning of the vampire's escalation. The next time I awoke I was different. I'd awoken as a vampire. I was instantly subjected tests and tortures that would kill any normal vampire. Through my howls I was able to hear them say that they would begin giving the improved venom to the other humans they had captured... That night I broke my bonds. I escaped and took the venom with me and destroyed all of their research. I have been killing vampires for over 100 years. The council constantly sent tracking units after me. I killed every one of them. Drank all of their blood and learned everything that they knew. I know where the council is and I know how to destroy them." A subtle fire was burning in Stelian's eyes. "I was approached by the government and offered their protection by moving to this "Facility X" I had nothing better to do and a little rest was welcome. Plus I believed that I would be able to find some allies to help me in my quest to end the council." He stops in the hallway looking into Magiere's eyes. "I know you will deny this offer but, I still have the improved venom. If you wished I have enough to make you a full Day-walker. I offer only because I feel I can trust you and that you would be a worthy ally in my quest."

"I think we should head to the main hall I have a feeling something big is happening." Stelian ran around the room picking up his things before offering to help Magiere up. She takes his hand and stands. She looks down to Ayla who had begun to snarl but she instantly stopped. "I'll tell my story as we walk." Stelian begins his story as they walk towards the main hall. Ayla walks in between Stelian and Magiere almost as if to separate them. "I was an experiment by the Vampire Council. I woke one day still human bound to a table with multiple creatures standing around me. After a moment I was able to understand what they were saying. I was to be the first of many. The strongest vampire ever born i would be the beginning of the vampire's escalation. The next time I awoke I was different. I'd awoken as a vampire. I was instantly subjected tests and tortures that would kill any normal vampire. Through my howls I was able to hear them say that they would begin giving the improved venom to the other humans they had captured... Magiere couldn't contain a gasp, she thought she hated her curse, but his was just as bad. He's not a bad guy, I can trust him. "That night I broke my bonds. I escaped and took the venom with me and destroyed all of their research. I have been killing vampires for over 100 years. The council constantly sent tracking units after me. I killed every one of them. Drank all of their blood and learned everything that they knew. I know where the council is and I know how to destroy them. I was approached by the government and offered their protection by moving to this "Facility X" I had nothing better to do and a little rest was welcome. Plus I believed that I would be able to find some allies to help me in my quest to end the council." 100 years, he must've killed nearly as many vampires as I have. Stelian looks into Magiere's eyes, his own filled with determination "I know you will deny this offer but, I still have the improved venom. If you wished I have enough to make you a full Day-walker. I offer only because I feel I can trust you and that you would be a worthy ally in my quest." She hesitates for a minute, His offer would strengthen me, but at the cost of all I hold dear, I have to deny, plus I don't need that, some blood and I'm good she thinks considering his offer. "You were right, I'll have to pass. I'm strong enough to kill any vampire I need to. And if you help me to find my father, I will help you with the council." She says her voice filled with confidence. She looks at Stelian I never noticed just how handsome he is as she thinks she can't help but a let a smile escape her lips, as soon as she smiles Ayla notices and changes to stand on Ayla's other side, allowing Stelian to walk next Magiere.

As Ayla moves Stelian steps slightly closer to Magiere. "I understand. As to helping you with your father I have only one price for that. You have to tell me your story. What happened how did you get here. I have to understand you. Because as much as you hate it your father is part of who you are he will be reflected in who you are. Not that you will be like him the opposite is much more likely. But I have to learn about him so that I can begin thinking of where he would be. I know the location of many vampires and as much as I dislike them not all of them are bad. Many were forced into this like I was they need not come to harm." He steps off continuing through the halls towards their destination. 'Maybe this one is different. She denied power for her morals. She may be even stronger than I am in that sense. Maybe I can really trust this one.' A smile shows on Stelian's face as they walk the first true smile he has had in many years.

Magiere sees Stelian smile, not a smirk, not a grin, but a genuine smile. She pauses for a minute and then tells him about her father "As I'm sure you have gathered, my father was vampire. He and my mother fell in love, and eventually married. Upon discovering that my mother was pregnant he left, never to return. My mother died giving birth, and I was left with my aunt. On my 14th birthday my aunt gave me a package containing my falchion, and my armor. She said my father left it for me, though I don't know why. When I turned 16 I left, I've been hunting vampires ever since. Hoping to find my father so I can kill him too." She paused to breathe not realizing how angry she had become as she related the events of her life. "I was cursed with this horrible existence, half human, half monster, I can't stand to think that anyone else might be, that is why I do what I do." She finishes speaking just as they arrive at the main hall. "Weird I don't see anyone, but I could have sworn something just shook the whole facility."

"YOU'RE 20 TOMORROW, SHARD!!" Yells Kalin as she runs behind Shard and jumps on his back. "Oh, man, you are getting old! 2-0, can you believe it? Okay, I got something for ya!" Kalin looks at his head and makes his brain thinks it smells like citrus. "Can you smell it?"

Silas was still sitting on the floor when he heard a... rumbling... in the distance. It shook his whole body and filled his head with worry. "What on earth was that?" Silas whispered. He got back up, about to walk into Sierra's room, still holding onto Tibbers when he heard a scream. "Sierra," Silas whispered, dreading what could have happened to her. What if it was the rumbling? What should he do? There wasn't any time to go get some help, so Silas charged into her room, "What is it?" Silas asked her, barreling through the door and into her room, Tibbers still clutched in his hand. "What's wrong Sierra?"

As Silas looked at her, it was obviously she was shaken. The rumbling perhaps, or... she had been sleeping. Did she have a nightmare too? Silas relaxed his tense body, his entire being had been full of nervous energy. However, Sierra was ok, no one was hurt yet, everything would be ok. Silas let out a long exhale. It wasn't a sigh, it was more of a release of pent up energy. Silas walked over to Sierra's bed and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her close to him and kissing the top of her forehead. "It's ok now. I'm here. No one is hurt. Everything will be fine. I promise. I'll protect you." Silas said reassuringly. Though he himself was scared to death, the rumbling still hadn't been properly explained, but he needed to stay strong for her. Tibbers was still in his hand, he placed him on her bed and threw his other arm around her, holding her tightly. "Everything is going to be alright. I promise."

After hearing Magiere's story Stelian pauses. "Well something did shake the facility and the others will be coming eventually we just have to wait." He takes a seat at the bar and orders a coffee. "We may as well sit here and wait for them to arrive." He looks off into the distance thinking and after a few minutes. "Our two quests may very well be one and the same. I believe that we will be able to find your father with the council. He is one of their members the second or third in command." A few moments later. "And not all vampires are monsters. You may think us to be but many have chosen to go into hiding and not pass on the virus to the humans. I just ask that you keep this in mind." After this Stelian falls silent waiting and listening to the sounds of the facility waiting for the inevitable meeting. For the time he enjoys his coffee and his company.

"God! I smell orange! Did you turn my brain to orange?" He askes. "I know im an old man!" he bends over and pretends to have a walking stick.

Stelian asked Magiere to be aware that most vampires don't want their life, or curse, but she was unaffected "I'm sorry but so long as they are capable of infecting, they are capable of spreading the curse, no one deserves what I lived through, what you lived through. All who are capable of passing the virus on, if I cannot be convinced of their self control then they are a threat. I hate to be so black and white but it's a life I wouldn't wish on anyone." she pauses a minute feeling bad for ruining their enjoyable time. "But enough about that, let's just focus on figuring out how we are going to destroy the council, do you know where they are? Do you know who they all are?" she asked him hoping he had an answer. Just then the entire facility shook even more violently than before, the explosion they heard was significantly louder as well, Magiere was surprised no windows had broken. She turned to the barkeep and ordered a coffee, she was gonna need the caffeine. Magiere reached her hand down and began to pet Ayla but she found that she wasn't at her feet. Magiere looked around and found Ayla with her fur standing on edge her face contorted in a violent snarl. There was no enemy nearby, Magiere rushed over to Ayla "What's wrong there is no one here!" she screamed hoping to calm the usually composed wolf down. Eventually Ayla relaxes and Magiere returns to Stelian with Ayla following in step.

Sierra relaxed slightly, 'thank you Silas thank you for being mine.' She whispered into him. Her tears stopped and she shuddered at the thought of the nightmare. He was here though and everything would be okay. Hopefully.

Sierra relaxed slightly, her shoulders drooping a little and her tension slowly releasing. "Thank you Silas. Thank you for being mine." She whispered into him. Her tears stopped and she shuddered, probably remembering her nightmare. "It's ok. Besides, who else would I belong to? Who else would I love as much as you?" Silas said, smiling. He held her apart from him for a moment so he could look her in the eyes. "There's no one who compares, you're the only one for me." He said with a smile, then pulled her close to him again, hugging her tight and kissing her again. "Come on, we need to go now. There was that strange rumbling, and I get the feeling we should go to the lobby. We should make sure everyone's ok and that no one is hurt. We're needed. Come on." Silas said, letting go of her just long enough to put Tibbers in his bag, grab all his supplies, then taking her by the hand and leading her out to the lobby.
