 In truth that she learned,
or the times that he cried "Probably from all her howling," Eva smirked. "Now, we search," she said bluntly and moved to the first closet. She opened it to find a dusty broom and bucket. She opened several more down the row. They seemed to be more like lockers than closets. She found a set of laced panties and a bra in one. "I'm not even going to comment on the wrongness of this," she glanced at Felincia. "We'll find her."

 Eva's beginning to annoy me.
Felincia put an arm out just as Jesute was about to turn around and leave. "Wait. She ran away last night, so wherever she is, the dust won't be as settled. Find a door that looks like it's been opened recently."
To help, Felincia transformed into a cat. She sniffed the air, then opened her mouth slightly, hoping to taste Shaishuu's scent. She padded down the corridor, inspecting piles of dust and noting happily that Jesute was actually helping in the search.

In truth that she learned,
or the times that he cried Evangeline had missed their conversation and wandered off down a side hall. It was one she had not been terribly familiar with. One thing did strike her as odd however, the footprints left in the thick layer of dust. She sneezed three times and them managed to continue. "Shaishuu?" she called into the dark. "Hey, come out before Felincia has a heart attack and thinks your anorexic! Shaishuu? Please come out," Eva was beginning to become frightened by this dark, creepy place. She was prepared to find Shaishuu mummified and have the body pop out at her. 'Why did I watch horror movies in the hospital?' she wondered to herself.

Felincia the cat perked her ears, hearing Eva calling, and bounded after her, Jesute hot on her tail. They found Eva following a trail of footprints and looking nervous. 'Felicia' could even smell her fear (don't you love cat senses?). Felincia didn't blame her; it was a creepy place.
The most interesting part was the footprints. Based on the stride, length, and depth areas, 'Felicia' could tell that whoever had recently made them had been running very fast.
'Felicia' followed the footprints to an abandoned broom closet, transformed, and whispered, "Shaishuu? Honey, are you in there?"
...
Did she just call someone 'honey'?
"Shaishuu, it's me. Are you okay?" Speaking soothingly, Felincia pushed the door open.

 Shaishuu had fallen asleep, but the dust woke her up soon after dawn. She was numb and cramped, but couldn't dare leave her fetal position. She was scared, and hungry, and cold, and dirty, and trembling all over. When Felincia opened the door, a whimper escaped her lips.

"Oh, honey..."
Felincia ran to Shaishuu, pushing brooms and mops and buckets aside. She gathered the dusty girl in her arms and rocked her back and forth as she whimpered fitfully.

Shaishuu clung to Felincia and began to cry. "I don't know what happened to me, Felincia... I didn't know what I would do to you..." She buried her face in Felincia's shoulder. "I want Mama... I want Mama..." But Mama was dead. Daddy was dead. All her friends and teachers were dead. "Felincia..."

Felincia glanced up at Jesute as she rose to her feet, somehow finding the strength to carry the tiny twelve-year-old. "Get a restriction form. Shaishuu was trained for vampires, so keep her with those kind of missions. Reapply her for Keeper classes, right where she left off when she... died. And get a permanent lodging form. She's moving in with my family."
Struggling only slightly, Felincia cradled Shaishuu and carried her back to the rest of the world. First thing was first... a bath.
Then a meal.
And a very long nap.

When they returned to the lab Felincia filled out an "Assisting a Temporarily Disabled Keeper" form to excuse her absence from the lab that day and took Shaishuu home. Since Mom and Dad were both busy working, she helped Shaishuu out of her dirty duty clothing and into the bath, helped her into warm pajamas, gave her a piece of toast with butter, and helped her fall asleep.
Then, leaving a note to tell Shaishuu she'd be back in a few hours, Felincia transformed into a cat, gave herself a thorough bath, and ran out into the streets, looking for Jerry.
When she found him, she jumped on him and started purring before he could say anything. She even let a touch of panic and relief into her voice. "Jerry! There you are! I've been looking all over for you! What happened to you? I was guarding and I heard someone approaching and I was about to see who they were when they shot me with something and the next thing I knew I was in a lab... Oh, Jerry, they took me in for testing. I don't know what they did to me but I'm so happy I managed to get out of there... Are you alright?"This flood of words did many things for 'Felicia'. One, it restored Jerry's faith in her. It made her look like she had been catnapped by the Keepers, which contributed to number two: it explained her smell of the laboratory. And three, should Jerry ever learn about the tracking device in her paw, it would make it appear as though the Keepers had put it in there while they had 'catnapped' her.
Ta-da! 'Felicia' no longer was the suspicious cat who disappeared just as the Keepers arrived and whom trouble seemed to follow. She was now a victim, and a loyal friend to werewolves and cute cats named Jerry.

In truth that she learned,
or the times that he cried Evangeline had continued to wander down the hall, forgetting about finding Shaishuu. The tunnel led down a long way. She had walked a very long way and when she finally found a door she flung it open, wanting to get out as soon as possible. She found herself in Department O. She almost screamed as mangled bodies surrounded her on their tables.
[[I hope that was the right letter...]]

[[Actually, it's a number. 0. But they look the same, so you're good.]]  Tram paced restlessly in the part of the Black Mansion that had survived the explosion. The whole north wing was demolished, and repairs had started immediately. But what bothered Tram so much was that no one knew what to do about Abby!
The smile that was always on his face had gone cold. What were they to do? In his work at the Keeper's place, they had heard that Abby was kept in a virtually escape-proof cell.
Tram began to count the points in their favor on his fingers. One: it was an old disused cell that may not stand a mass attack. Two: Abby wasn't the type to panic; they could count on her. Three: he had access to guards, keys, and exits.
Against the werewolves were the following points. One: LOADS of guards, LOADS of Keepers, and that stupid scientist they couldn't seem to get rid of lately. Two: the cell was underground. No easy access. And three: he wasn't held in high enough position for the Keepers to trust him.
His brain working furiously, Tristram Black vowed to get Abby back. And to shed Keeper blood.

 They painted up your secrets With the lies they told to youAnd the least they ever gave you Was the most you ever knew
Abby renewed her howling. If the guards were going to be on duty around the clock, they were not sleeping in shifts. She taunted them in wolf at the top of her lungs.
[[writer's block!!!! >.<]]
And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
No one's listening anyway

The next day Felincia and Shaishuu walked to the Keeper base together - Felincia dropped her off at the training ground and she went to her lab.
As she entered Jesute looked up from his desk. "Did you hear? After we found Shaishuu Evangeline wandered down the hall and somehow got in to Department 0."
"She what?!" Felincia cried. "What happened?"

Tram had finally put together a plan. That morning he sat down with the other elders to explain it.
There were one or two oppositions - Shouldn't we offer more of a body guard? What if the Keepers catch you, and we need to set up our spy network from scratch again? But Tram knew they knew that this plan was their only hope.
Repairs were done speedily, though it may be a bit before that section of the mansion was livable again. As the meeting with the elders took a brief respite, Tram wandered through the hallways. Their infirmary wasn't large enough to hold all their seriously wounded, so there were nurses and patients out in the halls.
Tram wondered how many pints of Keeper blood would balance the scales.
The plan would go into action tonight.

In truth that she learned,
or the times that he cried Mangled bodies scared Evangeline. It brought back the image of her own body after the accident. the door had locked behind her, so she was stuck among the corpses. The twisted limbs with dried blood were everywhere she looked.
In bridges he burned,
or the way that she died
