"well aren't you just a little softie"Dart said with a sarcastic chuckle as he walked out the front doors, and down to his waiting car, getting in the driver's seat, he waited for Bella to get in.

[Suzzana]

Bella scoffed at what he said and slid into the car. She stared down at her hands. She wore gloves because if she touched anything or anyone with bare skin she could see everything that happened to them or at that place. It was different with her sister though. They had been through so much and she was the only one that Bella actually opened up to.

[Glacial_Zero]

Starting the car Dart drove to the apartment, and parked by the curb"go ahead and work your voodoo"he said, getting out of the car and unlocking the door, he stepped into the house for a moment, and looked around. Disgusted by the events that had taken place, he steeped back outside and sat on the steps, waiting for Bella to do whatever she needed to.

[Suzzana]

Taking off her gloves and slipping off her shoes, she touched the wall beside her. She shuddered as the images appeared in her head of what had happened. She felt tears slip down her cheeks as she walked down the hallway and saw what happened to Alaira. Walking back, she exited walking past Dart. As she walked, she watched as the men ran out of the room with Meagan. She focused on where they were heading, following along behind.

[Glacial_Zero]

Thinking it best not to interrupt her focus, Dart just followed along silently behind her, only wondering what she could be seeing and where it was leading her.

[Suzzana]

They hurried down the road; what she found weird was that they didn't take a car, but no one paid them any notice. As her bare feet tingled everytime she took a step, she followed them all they way down across the city until they reached the docks. She kept on their tails as they manouvered their way through the warehouses. Coming to a stop in front of one, she opened the door and stepped in. As soon as her foot hit it's first step, images, bloody images flooded into her mind. Images of killing, murders. She clapped her hands to her head and kneeled down on the ground trying to block out the images. But out of all the faces she saw of the dead men, women and children, none were Meagan. She was able to finally see a clear image of the men. They were talking to someone, a man. He seemed angry. No, pleased. After a few more words, they left and turned to the docks. She sat gasping for air as she ripped off her sweater and sat down on it so she was no longer touching the floor; the floors that held so many memories.

[Glacial_Zero]

staring at Bella, Dart looked around at where they were"it doesn't look like anyone's here, they must have abandoned it already...."

[Suzzana]

"They took a boat," She said as she looked his way. "I can't read lips very well, but if I'm correct, they're heading for a mansion not too far away from here due north or something like that."

[Glacial_Zero]

"a mansion north of here..."Dart muttered as he started to walk along the docks. If I can just get a boat, I can find this mansion and finally save Meagan, but a boat is easy to spot, unless I were to jump out of the boat and swim some of the way, they would find an empty boat. It may tip them off that I'm coming, but they wouldn't be able to do anything about it if they don't know where I am.

[Suzzana]

Bella stood and pulled a pair of socks from her pocket; she had come perpared. Slipping them on, she left the warehouse and headed back to May. She first went to Alaira's room to find Elsie. She was sitting there on the edge of the bed, talking like usual. Alaira just sat there like she always did when Elsie started talking, listening. Bella didn't understand how Alaira was able to just sit there and listen to her. Even Bella, Elsie's own sister, got annoyed with her non-stop talk. As she stepped into the room, she drew in a sharp breath as she saw Alaira.

Alaira looked over at her and gave her a wary smile. "Stop looking like I'm on my death bed. I'm fine. Now come here, you look troubled." Alaira had changed over the last few years, she was no longer such the tempermental person she used to be. Bella walked over to the bed and sat down in the chair beside it. She knew that she couldn't tell Alaira, but she felt she should. Shaking her head, she stood to leave, but decided to stay a bit and sat back down.

At that time, a nurse entered the room. "Sorry to interrupt ladies, but I think Alaira should get some rest. I've brought something that should help you sleep," she said the last part to Alaria. Alaira nodded. "I'll see you two tomorrow, alright?" "Okay. See you," Elsie said as she leaned foreward and gave Alaira the best of a hug that she could to avoid hurting her. She then got up and left Bella behind. "I think I'll just stay for a bit longer okay?" Bella said quietly as she looked at her hands in her lap. The nurse said nothing, but injected the sleep-aid into Alaira's IV. Alaira laid back on her pillows and looked over at Bella. "Are you sure that you're okay?" She asked her as she felt the growing erge to sleep. "Just get some rest," Bella said as she watched Alaria fighting not to fall asleep. Alaira didn't have a chance to argue.

Walking the docks, for what felt like hours, Dart passed by many boats, before finally coming upon one that he would be able to take to the mansion. Hopping in, he started it up, and realized it was making a lot of noise, but figured it would, and was half hoping it to. Steering the boat north, it took only a matter of minutes before a large mansion came into view. Just like Bella said Dart thought with a small chuckle and steered the boat until he was within swimming distance. jumping overboard, the boat continued on until it crashed into the shore line and flipped over a few times, but Dart payed little attention as he quickly swam several yards away from where the boat had crashed and pulled himself up on the shore and quickly ducked into the shadows to catch his breathe a bit.

"I'm finally here" Dart whispered to himself as he stuck his blade into the belt and scaled the rock edge up to the mansion. Sneaking up beside the building, Dart picked up a rock, and threw it through one of the higher floored windows before slipping over the side of the rock edge to wait and see what the guards would do.

[Suzzana]

Bella stood to leave, but stopped when she saw May enter the room. "Hello, Bella, dear," May said with a kind smile. "Oh, is Alaira asleep?" She gave a sigh, but looked up at Bella. "is there somthing that you wish to tell me?" Bella couldn't take it anymore and with May eyeing her, she broke down and told her everything, glad that Alaira was asleep. "I see," was all May said to her. Suddenly, the door opened again and Maria burst into the room. "Auntie May! I-I saw where she is." She gasped as she stumbled into the room. May looked up at the gasping woman, and said. "What did you see?" "They took her to a mansion up on Riverside Boulevard. I saw them go through the gates. I even saw the address, surprisingly." She told them. Maria looked over at Alaira, also glad that she was asleep. "Come. We must send someone up there to help Dart." They all left the room, but May stopped and looked back at Alaira before she shut the door. "Be careful." The door shut behind her.

As the glass shattered from the rock he threw, all that followed was silence, except for the flutterfing of wings as birds flew away startled.

[Glacial_Zero]

"is it possible I picked the wrong building?"Dart asked himself as he pulled himself back up onto the solid ground, and looked around, noticing that each window had a small ledge outside. Taking a running start, Dart used his speed to jump from ledge to ledge quickly getting up to the roof. Sighing he looked down at the faraway ground. taking a few steps back until he was at a safe spot on the roof, he unsheathed his sword and flipped it so the sharp side was forward, and quickly cut a square in the roof. Jumping down, he found himself in the attic and found a spot where he could get down to the top floor of the mansion. Wandering around silently, Dart wondered why there was nobody around.

[Suzzana]

As the door closed with a click, Alaira's eyes fluttered open. She had heard everything that was said. But why? I thought I was given something to help me sleep but I woke up five minutes after... She thought to herself as she sat up. Now she knew where Meagan was and that Dart went after her. She wasn't going to just sit there letting him get himself in trouble. Pulling out her IV, she stood and pulled off all the other cords they had connected to her to moniter her heart rate and breathing. At once they started beeping. Cursing under her breath, she ran and opened the door. Running was awkward for her since she still had painkillers running through her veins. Suddenly someone grabbed her arm and then another. She was now fighting off two doctors and three nurses. She was growing bery irritated at that point, and her skin grew warm. Instantly all of them pulled back, but one doctor. Flames sparked up and she felt his grip loosen and heard him land on the floor, scorched but not dead. She cringed at the sound of him falling, but bolted towards where they had her stuff. Ripping open the door, she quickly changed back into her bloody clothes and grabbed her sais.

Running downstairs to the parking lot, she was glad to see the old motorcycle she gave a friend when she moved. Digging into the bottom of the box, she pulled out a spare key. Climbing onto the bike and pulling on the helmet, she sped off towards the mansion.

As soon as she arrived, she stopped at a secluded spot and climbed the fence. When she landed, she cringed in pain. She looked to her shoulder and saw that it was bleeding again. Cursing, she stood. As she grew closer to the mansion, her vision wavered and her throat burned as she began to cough. Blood appeared in her hand and that was the last thing she saw as she fell unconcious.

Unseen hands soon found her and carried her to a secret door into the mansion.

((Alaira's back xD))

"where is everybody!"Dart cried out, getting irritated from the lack of people. Sword in hand he pointed the blade down the hall"Hiten Mitsurugi style- Doryūsen"Dart cried out as he raised his blade and brought it crashing down on the floor, destroying most of the floor and hall, the stairs not blocked off, Dart jumped the banister and hit the floor below, cushioning his landing, and sheathing his sword. He was glad to let out a little bit of his pent up rage, though still bitter about the lack of people, and even angrier about them kidnapping Meagan.
