Then the images before her dissolved and a violent, harsh vision took shape. A massive church, the doors locked and Dagaz, the rune of Dawn, her family rune was painted on each wooden entrance, shaking and trembling as people screamed from the other side.

She wanted to divulge every horrible moment of her life and cry against her. She hated it. Hated herself for how quickly it took hold of her. She had to do something. She took hold of one of the plates in the strainer and flung it against the wall before taking off, not even sparing a glance back at Rehida. She was sure someone, if not the woman herself would storm after her, but no one did. She spotted a cracked door and carelessly threw herself inside, slamming it and locking it behind her.

That guy..koin, he was crouched down beside her, the sunup behind him giving a framing light to his chiseled features. Why did he have to be so damn good looking? Well really if monsters were as ugly on the outside as they were inside then we wouldn't trust them in the first place would we? she sighed and stood "Ready?" she grumbled heading for the door. He stood up slowly watching her go "Well. You looked comfy so, Connor and I went ahead and got your stuff.." her heart dropped, and she turned on her heel to glair at him "What?". he swallowed some studying her "It's all...upstairs." he said quietly "I just thought.."
