Serena's eyes widened when Sebastian just up and left the room. It was only made better when he returned a moment later with a nurse but the blow returned when he left once more, telling her they were both leaving, and walked out not waiting for her. She took a deep breath before she walked out after him. She noticed him smoking and kept her distance, not wanting to breathe any smoke in. Normally, she wouldn't mind too much but with being pregnant, she just... she couldn't risk it. She stuffed her hands into her pocket and looked at him. She knew this was hard for him but... as much as she couldn't be alone, as much as she didn't want to be alone when Anna woke, she couldn't let the girl wake up alone either.

She took a deep breath, "Go back to the room," She said quietly, "I'm going to ask if one of the nurses can do an ultrasound... make sure the baby is okay. I'll ask a nurse to stay with me but... She can't wake up alone, Sebastian. Not with Gunner still... missing," ultimately, they didn't know what had happened to Gunner. However, there was no circumstance that was good about him not being here, "I'm going to ask about the... medication too..."

She sighed and walked over to him, risking it just this once. She moved his hand away from his mouth and kissed him, not wanting to leave him like this on a sour note. She took a deep breath and took off one of the rings before sliding it on his pinkie finger, "Tell me if something goes wrong, alright?" She looked up at him, that was one great thing about their bond. Sebastian hadn't needed to call her in years, he just spoke right into her mind. It freaked her out the first time but it was helpful now. She brushed a strand of hair out of his face and smiled, "Be good," She warned him before she stepped away again and turned back to the infirmary and went to ask a nurse about all it was that she'd be needing.
Serena was starting to panic when Sebastian pulled her by her hand and dragged her out of the gardens, so much for their quiet night. She was starting to think that if anything else went wrong she'd need another ring... She let him pull her as she tried to keep her own emotions in check so that she didn't get to worked up. Then she saw Anna and nausea swept over her. She looked but she couldn't see Gunner anywhere.

She took a deep breath and tried not to think the worst but it was rather hard not to when their friend had been swept away by a horde of Strigoi... She let Sebastian take her into the infirmary and thought that maybe she should have them check on the baby while she was here, after they ensured that Anna was okay. She bit her lip when Sebastian told the nurse to move and dragged her into Anna's room. She gave the woman an apologetic look over her shoulder before she turned her attention forward. She took a deep breath as she looked at their bruised friend. She dropped Sebastian's hand and walked over to her, pushing some of her hair out of her face.

Serena looked at Sebastian when he spoke, she could feel how being here made him feel but she didn't agree. She shook her head, "No, you don't get to leave, Sebastian," She told him as she moved back to the foot of the bed where he stood, "Our friend is going to need us when she wakes up and I can't handle all that's she's gone through alone. You are going to wait with me because I need you to wait with me," There were tears in her eyes that were wide with fear and worry that she was trying to keep under control, "I can't be alone right now, Sebastian," She said in a stern voice, "I don't trust myself to be alone and I don't trust myself to reassure our friend."

She took a deep breath, finding anger welling up in herself, and turned away from him. She walked over and found a cloth that sat on the table beside Anna's bed. She grabbed it and squeezed it a little before holding it out, "Clean up the blood... Maybe you'll feel better if you are doing something..."
Gunner hissed when he felt the stake his back and dropped Jace to the ground as he moved to remove it, working through the pain. He smiled when Jace started to scream and dropped the stake on him, he'd live in agony for the rest of his life. Viewed as insane by all those who crossed his path. He dropped him to the ground allowing his screams to fully escape his throat. The screams bounced off the cave walls as he turned to return to Anna. However, he instead found his mother choking her. He saw her about to bite her... He growled, this was not allowed. No one was allowed to bite Anna, Moroi, Strigoi, NO ONE. He took a deep breath before he picked the silver stake up from the ground and threw it into his mother's back, through to her heart.

She gasped as she dropped Anna to the ground before collapsing. Gunner looked at his hand, it was red and his skin looked at though it were melting. He let out a huff from his nose before he grabbed Jace by the collar of his shirt and tossed him toward Anna. He held her gaze, "This is what happens to people who cross me and you are going to show the world," He hissed before he turned and left her there. He started to walk into the depths of the cave, where more Strigoi awaited him, "I suggest you leave, Banana. I'd hate to have to kill you too."

Serena stopped and squeezed his hand, "If you want to check on her, we can," She gave him a soft smile, "I am already.... starting to feel better. Maybe seeing Anna will help."

She took a deep breath, "But we don't even know where she is... She left without saying goodb-" Serena didn't get through to the end of her sentence before her eyes widened, "She went after him..."

She rose a hand to her lips, she hadn't even thought about why Anna had left because Sebastian's mother had stolen away her attention. However, Serena couldn't think of any other reason that Anna would leave Sebastian and herself 'vulnerable' to those who sided with his parents on the matters of their relationship. She bit her bottom lip, the only reason she would leave without a word would be to do something that she knew they would stop her from doing. Tears rose in her eyes at the thought of Anna going after Abigail's army. Who knew how many people that woman had turned and... what if Gunner had turned as well, "Oh Vlad...."
Serena stood when Sebastian helped her up and a small smile played at the corner of her lips when he kissed her. She shook her head, "It's okay... If it didn't, I wouldn't have this bond with you... And despite it... getting a little scary, I like having this bond. Being able to help you.. and I can know where you are and make sure you're safe."

She pulled away from him as he offered to go to the gardens and nodded, "The gardens sound perfect... Not much is perfect right now..." She walked over to her bag and pulled out a sweater as well as another silver ring and put both on before she returned to him. She took his hand in her's and rested her head against his shoulder. The two enchanted rings helped, she was just glad that she had some left in her bag. She leaned her head against his shoulder. She felt his own emotions stabilizing and she clung to those because it helped her stabilize a little.

Then they were out the door. The warm evening air was nice. It helped. She looked up at him, "I love you."

Gunner's stare down with Jace was interrupted when Anna stepped in the way. Although, the emotion behind his eyes changed, he merely had a new staring partner. He watched her as she ran at him, he kept still knowing he could wait until last second to react. So, it was hardly an issue when Anna dodged to the left because he hadn't even thrown himself forward. He turned fully, pulling his leg out of the way of her attack before he caught her jaw in his hand. He smirked, his eyes filled with lust as he looked at her, "I think you just bit off more than you could chew, Banana."

He licked his lips a little before his hand moved to her wrist. He was free to do as he wished and forget about the guardians for a moment due to the fact that his mother had already tossed aside her two guardians, leaving them alive to later be turned and was working on those around Jace. He slammed her wrist against the wall, hearing the crack followed by the pinging of the stake hitting the ground. Gunner knew taking out the wrist was the most effective way to deal with a guardian. One couldn't really brandish a stake with a shattered wrist. He pressed his lips to her temple, "Two years is too long," He almost hissed before grinning, "Unfortunately, I've been waiting four years to kill Mr. Szleskie."

He tossed Anna to the ground turned on the three guardians, who were all a little busy dealing with his mother. He smirked and easily slipped between them and grabbed Jace. He shoved the man against the wall and grabbed hold of the stake he held and easily ripped it from his hands and tossed it aside, ignoring the burning in his hand. He wrapped his hand around Jace's throat and stared at him, "Strigoi still just a joke?" Gunner hissed in comment to his Halloween costume all those years ago. He pressed a little harder against his throat, "Death is too good for you."

He stared at him, "I'm going to make sure that for the rest of your life every time you look at another living being you feel your skin burning. I'm going to drive you so far off the deep end, you'll beg for death... But I'm going to make sure you live until you are old and grey... Because that is what a monster like you deserves, Jace," Gunner hadn't really played with compulsion and he could see the man fighting against it but he knew that Strigoi's compulsion was strong than the Moroi's sooner or later he would break, "Your skin will burn. Your eyes will bleed. You'll never sleep. You can't feed. Drinking blood makes you sick.... The thought of blood makes you sick. Things haunt your every waking moment. You're every regret and fear will forever be in the forefront of your mind and you will live like this until the day the Earth eats you up... When nature decides to end you because you won't be able to end yourself."
Serena curled up against Sebastian, taking her arm back when the woman finished with it. She quietly thanked her before she cradled it against his chest. The pain was gone but the memory of it all was fresh. Serena had been hurt before, it never phased her... But hurting herself, that was something completely different. She nodded her head when he told her that she needed to tell him when she felt like she was slipping as she had... She had never had this problem though, she didn't even know that she was. She was in a dark place before she could even get herself out of it. She looked up at him, "I'm sorry for scaring you..." She whispered now feeling the fear and worry that had been dampened by her own feeding into her.

She rested her head back against him, "I'll tell you next time... And... I won't be alone like that again.... I promise."

The thought of the stake on the ground sprung up, almost solidifying the fact in her head that she was never going to let herself be alone when she was that low. She moved her hand slowly down to her stomach and took a deep breath. The shock of it all seemed to pull her more or less out of the funk she was in but she couldn't shake it off. She brought her other hand to Sebastian's and clasped it, "Don't leave me," She whispered as her rested her forehead against his shoulder.

The nurse stood and looked at the two of them, "If this persists at all, it might be best to put her on some medication. Depression can be a symptom of pregnancy. It might weaken the bond between the two of you though as I know it weakens Spirit abilities. I've.. never actually heard of a shadow kissed on anti-depressants..." She took a moment to think, "Also, if you need the reassurance, we have ultrasounds and such in the hospital," She looked between them and smiled, "If you need anything, just call."

With that she left, leaving the two alone. Serena looked toward the bedroom before sighing, "I think I need some air... can we go for a walk?"
~
The sound of footsteps filled the air. There were two distinctly different sound footfalls, those of dress shoes and those of high heels. With little care or stealth, Gunner and Abigail walked up to the group of Guardians and stood a few feet away. Gunner's eyes scanned the group, the red ring around his pupils easy to see against his lightly blue irises. The man smiled, a set of newly acquired fangs visible. His mother stood just behind his shoulder and played with his short hair a little, "Well if it isn't the whole gang."

Gunner's eyes fell on Jace in the center as he took in the numbers and his face twisted a little before he let out a humorless laugh, "Glad I finally get the chance to kill you."

Abigail clapped her hands, "Isn't he just the sweetest? My baby boy only awakened an hour and he's going to tear through you all."

One of guardians moved in front of Jace and took a fighting stance. Gunner started to laugh again, "Do you think you stand a chance against me now?"

Thomas removed his stake from his belt and stared down Gunner, "You're out numbered."

"You're outmatched," Gunner snapped back. Thomas ran at him, hoping to catch him off guard. He didn't have a chance to react before Gunner grabbed his wrist and broke it, causing him to drop his stake. Grabbing the man the throat, he threw him head first into the jagged cave wall. Abigail looked at him as blood started to pour out of his head, "Gunner, he could have made for an excellent edition."

"Hardly. The man doesn't think... He'd be staked in a week," Gunner replied, never taking his hands off of Jace, "Now, the Moroi. Hand him over before I kill the lot of you."

Serena shook as Sebastian wrapped up her arm and called up a nurse. She was crying still but for an entirely different reason... that thought. She looked up at Sebastian, how could she even think that. It wasn't until the nurse came that Serena even noticed the dark circles under Sebastian's... For once her own feelings had overpowered his and she hadn't even clocked his need to feed. Looked down the ring on her finger and felt it calming her slightly. She was still shaking and those thoughts.... they bounced around in her head. She curled her fingers into a fist, frustrated with herself.

She took the wine from Sebastian and sipped at it slowly despite wanting to down it. She assumed that would not be good in the slightest for the baby. As she drank, she watched him slip away into the bathroom with a feeder. She turned her attention to the woman who was leading her to the couch instead until he came back out and sat next to her.

She turned her head into him and closed her eyes, "I... don't know what's happening..." she said quietly. She had finished off her wine but she really could use another, however, she was not risking that. She took a deep breath, "Maybe.... it was the... ghosts... and your mother... and whatever darkness I've already taken," she was calming slightly. She still shook but it seemed to be more from fear than anything else. She looked up at him, "Is the baby okay?" She asked suddenly thinking that the trauma or loss of blood could have harmed it.
Serena looked up at Sebastian, tears still streaming down her face, "How can I not listen to her, Sebastian, when we are saying the same things?" She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself a little, "Manipulative or not... there's truth in what she is saying...."

She ran her hand through her hair and sighed slightly, "I think... I think I need to lie down... alone for a little while," She looked up at Sebastian, "Just... calm myself a little."

She pulled away from Sebastian and walked into their bedroom. She stopped at the door for a moment before she closed it behind her. She knew if she left the door open that Sebastian would slowly follow. He'd want to comfort her, to hold her... That was something this loved about him but... Right now she just wanted to be alone... She didn't want Sebastian seeing her like this. She walked over to the bed and climbed in, the movie they had been watching was still playing filling the room with noise. She couldn't pay attention to it though, she was just too wrapped up in her own thoughts. She pulled the blankets up to her chin as she stared at the wall, just thinking and thinking and thinking.

It was sometime later that she pulled her eyes from the wall and rolled over, trying to move away from the thoughts. Sebastian had told her it wasn't her fault... But something inside of her said otherwise. Tears were still slipping down her cheeks but she was quieter now, she didn't want Sebastian to hear. Her eyes fell on the stake that Gunner had given her. It just sat on the bedside table where she left it when they returned, wanting to forget about it. It was like it stabbed her through the heart, a reminder that she had failed... That all of this... could have been avoided had she not wanted to prove herself still capable of being a guardian. She stared at it for sometime before she sat up and took it into her hand. She stared at the sharp point for sometime before she pressed it to her wrist and dragged it across her skin, cutting it open. For a moment, the pain overrode everything. The guilt and the sadness, it slipped away for a moment. However, when she finally stopped, she sat there and stared at her bloodied arm and gasped. She had multiple jagged gashes on her wrist, all of which were bleeding profusely. She tossed the stake across the room and shook, bringing her hand to her forehead as she looked at her forearm.

She was sobbing again as she watched the blood pour down her arm. She didn't know what made her do it but suddenly the threat of insanity that she had been living with... The fate of St. Valdimir's guardian became so real... Between Sebastian's darkness, his mother, and the spirits from before it had all become too much. She slowly climbed out of the bed... It was all just too much. Her eyes fell once more on the stake that she had thrown to the floor and the thought that popped up in her head scared her more than any Strigoi, "Sebastian!" She called before she nearly ran to the door. She stood the doorway, bleeding, "Something's wrong with me," She sobbed as she cradled her bleeding arm.
Serena stood in silence at Sebastian spoke with his mother. The way she was talking... Serena didn't understand why she kept acting as though her pregnancy was something horrendous... like she had lost both her arm and was still insisting on guarding Sebastian. She wasn't even Sebastian's guardian right now! But Vlad knew where Anna had gone and Gunner... She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm in the presence of Mrs. Lazar but the moment she left the waterworks began. Serena was usually very capable at keeping her feelings under wraps but around Sebastian and now with her hormones going haywire, that was a lot harder. She shook her head, "It's not your fault."

She walked over to the couch and sat down, wiping under her eyes. She looked up at Sebastian, "Can we hyphenate our last name? I don't want the same name as that... woman."

Her fingers trembled a little, as they usually did when she was particularly upset. She tired to wipe away her tears but more just replaced them until finally, she gave up. She shook her head, "She's right though..." She looked to Sebastian, "The only reason Anna suggested the trip was because I need clothes... Had... Had I been in better shape to fight then maybe Anna could have assisted Gunner while I got you to the car," She covered her face with her hands as this warped reality crashed down on her. Anna must hate her right now... It was her fault that Gunner might be a Strigoi... She sobbed before wrapping her arms around herself. Everything that happened was her fault. Everything that was going to happen was her fault. Her hands started to shake more and her aura darkened as a depression that Serena had been fighting off engulfed her, "This is all my fault..."
