Eliza pondered on his words. What was she doing? It wasn't like her to be so helpful or maybe it was just that no one ever needed her help before. It was strange to think she had actually been of use to someone other than herself and her demon. But she didn't even know Dante, how did she know that he could be trusted. Eliza sat up and hid the concern and anxiety in her face.

"Well that's good to know," Eliza said casually. "But I advise that you lie down for a moment. That looked like a hard bump and you might suffer a concussion." Eliza decided to leave her bag on the ground below him, just in case he was thinking about lying down again. "Nevertheless, I'll still get some ice for your head," she said as she turned away from him, no longer wishing to play nurse. She didn't want compassion to be a weakness of hers.

You are already weak, was the reply from her demon.

"I know..." Eliza said softly as she made her way back to the kitchen quickly. "But I will get stronger."

Dante was going to stop her but couldn't manage to say anything before she had disappeared agin, Dante noticed her bag and grabbed it dusting it off and bringing it with him, he noticed that she had suddenly changed, he was happy to see that she was able to show compassion.

Eliza quickly rushed back into the kitchen, heading straight for the freezer. But before she did, she stopped next to the dish that Kyo had previously set down. Secretly, she took a spoon full and giggled playfully to herself. She wasn't sure why, she just felt kind of childish. She still had a mouthful of the salmon dish in her mouth as she grabbed a bag of frozen peas. She would have grabbed some actual ice however she couldn't see a bag to hold it in. It's not like she was planning on just carrying it with her hands.

Once she had taken the bag of peas, she began to head outside and noticed that Dante had already gotten up and was walking towards her. Out of surprise, she had swallowed the mouthful of fish quickly. In fact, she had swallowed so quickly that it almost felt like she had taken in too much and she began hacking and coughing, trying to clear her throat. She had noticed that Dante was also carrying her bag as well and she quickly headed over to him.

"I thought I told you to lie still," she said as she quickly placed the bag of peas on Dante's head, almost maybe too hard. She reached out her hand, waiting for him to hand over her bag as she kept her other hand on the makeshift ice pack.

Distrust men were searching the mountain for something. It was hard to say what. It couldn't be the castle. Could it? It was in plan sight. Everyone in town knew where it was. In the cave Katherin listened trying to figure out what they were looking for. "I will find it you know." The own of Distrust told her stabbing her with a taser. "You might as well tell me where it is. I know that Secrets knows where it is." What is he talking about? Katherin demanded of her demon. 'I can't say. I know lots of thing you don't know. Without know what he is looking for it can't help.'

"Please you need to get inside, I told you, you don't need to worry about me I'll be fine just get inside. I'm going to be there soon I just have to check something." Dante said looking down at the girl she was being sweet to him and he didn't want to see her get hurt. He put his hand over hers to keep the ice pack on his head.

Kyo continued down the mountain, completely lost by this point and still looking for Dante. I'll show you anxiety, you...did you really think you could just pull a stupid stunt like that? He could hear Nightmare cackling in the back of his head, but he tried to ignore it. The demon seemed to find it funny when he got like this, though truthfully, it had only happened one over time since he had been possessed by it. He actually wasn't used to getting this angry. It would probably tire him out eventually.

Hopefully, not before he found some sense of direction again. Where in the world was he? He couldn't tell in all this dark! Letting out another silent huff, he slowed down for a moment. As far as he could tell, which wasn't far, he had gotten pretty far away from the castle at this point. It wasn't even visible from his location. The fact that he hadn't seen the direction that Dante had wandered off in either meant that there was probably a very high chance that he had gone in a completely different direction, too. Great! And what about Katherin? He didn't have a lead on her whereabouts, either!

Taking a deep breath, Kyo lowered the heavy object in his hand. He had completely forgotten what it was by now or why he had it, but he couldn't very well leave it now. Besides, it might come in handy as he continued getting lost out here.

Aww, look at that. He's concerned about you. How sweet, Disease whispered in Eliza's head. When Dante had placed his hand on hers, she heard the demon laughing in amusement. She rolled her eyes and scowled, decided not to waste her words on the fiend living inside her. Eliza quickly jerked her hand away and grabbed her back from him. "I'm flattered by your concern but you don't need to worry either. You may find this hard to believe but I can actually take care of myself," Eliza said, raising her head slightly to prove her point. Disease seemed to guffaw at her statement and still, Eliza ignored it. "What are you going to check on anyway? Are you going to look for Katherin too? Because you do realise that if that's the case, then I insist on joining you." Eliza persisted. She quickly opened up her bag and checked to see if everything was still there as it was. She was satisfied and closed it quickly before she continued to walk away from the castle. "Well, shall we?"

When Eliza's hand jerked from Dante he was surprised it startled him and the sudden movement cuased him some pain. He took a step back and looked at her for a moment not speaking just looking her up and down. Wrath spoke to him, "You don't need her Dante just continue going over the grounds." Dante turned and started walking towards the gate dropping the bag of peas as he walked, wrath had a special influence on Dante's emotions he could make him into a pathetic beast if he wanted to or he could let him have control.

Eliza frowned as she watched the bag of peas fall to the ground. She quickly walked towards it and picked it before following Dante and placing it back on his head. From the back, it seemed to her that his scalp was slightly distorted and it must have been due to the bump. The ice may not be enough to decrease the swelling but it would do wonders for the pain. "Ugh, how do you suppose you'll finish your task if your head is swelling. It's dangerous and you might black out at any moment if you're not careful," Eliza exclaimed with a sigh. "I know holding a bag of peas over your head is not the most convenient thing but it will help."

Why are you helping him? Do you not know that Wrath dwells within him? Disease informed her with a gritty voice.

"Then I'll just have to make sure I do not anger him," Eliza said aloud in response to her annoying demon. Eliza understood Dante's burden and hopefully, he understood hers aswell.

Dante put his hand inside of his jacket pulling out a lighter and ciggerate, Dante light the ciggerate taking a large puff and inhaling clearing his head. "Alright if you insist." He said putting his ciggerates in his pocket and putting a hand on the bag of peas he glanced at Eliza then kept walking, she was confusing to Dante.

A cacophony of shrieks echoed through the small length of woods that surrounded the manor as a murder of crows dispatched from the thicket and into the slowly darkening sky as the sun slowly descended through the sky. The air seemed to cool off quickly as shadows subtly overtook the brush. Darkness was cast from the leafy canopy above. With the oncoming of night, came the awakening of nocturnal creatures. One in particular kept to the shadows, looking out with boring amber eyes as a young man carrying a tablet passed by hastily, seemingly lost and confused. Faint rumbling roiled out of the shrubs from behind him as he attempted to find his way. The rumbling grew into a bellowing snarl as the bushes parted to let loose a hulking black creature. The faint light of the disappearing sun and the stars above cast a gentle hue on the mass of fur and fangs revealing the form of a large black wolf. Despite the beasts ferocious disposition, it;s eyes seemed oddly blank and almost resembled the eyes of a human, with the exception of their brilliant amber glow.

It wasn't long before Kyo was surrounded by soldiers. They were armed with guns and tastes. "You are not suppose to be here. Come with us." They would forced him to walk down the mountain they lead him to the cave where Katherin was being held. He would see her chained to the wall unconscious. The soldiers through him into a cage and go look for their supervisor.

...well, wasn't this nice. First It feels like he's being stalked by a wild dog or a bear or a behemoth or something, then he gets escorted the rest of the way down the mountain by these lovely people and practically manhandled into a cage in a random cave. Wonderful. It must have been darker than he thought, though, since he still had his tablet and...what? A meat cleaver? So that's what it was! Not that it would do him any good here, since it clearly wasn't strong enough to break through the bars. He decided to just hide it in his jacket for now. At least he had the sense to wear that when he went out.

With that dealt with for the time being, he began to look around the area, kind of wondering why Nightmare hadn't said or done anything during all that. Was the demon asleep, or did it just like watching him suffer? Could it even sleep? The thought went to the back burner when he saw Katherin chained to the wall. He found her! But what did they do to her? She wasn't even conscious! Worried, the dark-eyed boy moved to the bars in an attempt to get a better look. Was she okay? Could she hear him? He typed something on his tablet, turning down the volume to hopefully keep the soldiers from hearing.

"Katherin? Katherin, can you hear me?"

Katherin stirred at the odd voice. She couldn't place it but it sounded familiar. She lifted her head. She looked around but she didn't see anything at first. Then she saw a figure in the cage on the far side of the room. What was Kyo doing here? Had Distrust caught him too? This was not good. She didn't have any way to communicate with him. She could only shake her head.

"Hello. I'm sorry, but I think that dinner will have to be reheated." He gave an apologetic smile, but it soon turned to a look of worry. "Will you be okay? Are you hurt?" She probably was hurt, but he didn't really know what else to ask. She didn't have any way to write like that, so only yes or no questions would probably work for now. At the same time, he tried to think of a way to get out of there. He would have to get out of the cage first, then he would have to free Katherin...what about the guards? He actually had an idea, but he would need to get out of the cage before anything else.

Katherin nodded. She was hurt. Nothing life threating. But then again she was immortal nothing was life threatening. She wished there was a way to talk to Kyo. But without spouting a whole bunch of useless information there wasnt. She wondered when secrets would come back. Her demon hadnt completely left her, doing so would kill her and exhaust him. But he had stretched his spirit form as for as he could to gather information. He was currently ignoring her request for information.

"Don't worry, I'll think of something. We'll get out of here." Kyo attempted to reassure her, but he was actually pretty concerned. Since they were stuck for now, he took the opportunity to take a closer look at his surroundings: The lock and the bars keeping him trapped, the ceiling and the floor, and the entire cave in general. He tried to get a good look at Katherine's chains as well, but there wasn't too much he could tell from this distance. There has to be something I can use to my advantage here... As he continued his search, the boy also took the time to hide the tablet under his jacket. Nothing good would probably come of that being taken.

A older man entered the room. He looked more like Frier Tuck, with his bolding head and potbelly, then he did a doctor. He grinned when he saw the new arrival. "Welcome Nightmares. It is so nice of you to drop by. I was trying to convince Miss Secrets here to tell me where the Eye is. She isn't being very cooperative as you can see. I might have to resort to something more painful them the taser."

Kyo stared at the older man with a blank expression. So this was Distrust and its human vessel. Hmm...
Continuing to stare at the balding doctor, he pointed to his own throat and made an 'x' sign with his arms before pretending to write in the air. Really, how did this man expect him to communicate in this cell without any writing materials?

Gregory, the keeper of Distrust, smiles. "Do you have anything I want to hear? Or should I say read?" He chuckled at his little joke. He shook his head. "I suppose there is only one way to find out." he handed Kyo Katherin's notebook and pen. "I dont suppose that you would be willing to tell me where your friends are? I know that you have that information." He turned his attention back to Katherin. He caressed her cheek before slapping her as hard as he could.
