"Aunt Caroline!" Dean rushes out past Crowley towards the older woman stuck in the wheelbarrow. Caroline gasps horrified and curls up on herself, covering her chest and keeping down the short skirt of her dress. 

"Don't!" Caroline yells out, her face is completely red. Dean pauses, watching as Caroline protects herself. She is wearing clothes she would never wear. He jumps as Diana grabs his arm to turn him around. 

"Give me a second." Diana takes off her sweater and goes over to Caroline as she continues to shield herself. Dean nods and waits with his back turned to them. Crowley is looking over the ledge to see where Valkhar had landed.

"It's not much, but at least we can keep you warm with this, Lady Acacia." Diana walks up carefully towards Caroline. She is still afraid to move, so Diana goes closer. "I'll help you. Just slip your arms through the sleeves." She says kindly as she slips the sweater over her head. Caroline uncurls her arms and slips her arms through. She goes slower with her left hand to avoid having the fabric touch her injured fingers.

"Oh my gosh, you're injured. Are they broken?!" Diana sees her bruised and curled fingers. Dean tenses but keeps his back turned. 

"Yes, they are. I have nothing to aid my fingers." Caroline says as she feels a bit more at ease with the long sweater over her. It's longer than the dress she was forced to wear, but it still exposes an uncomfortable amount of legs. Diana helps her out of the wheelbarrow.

"Aunt Caroline, let me help you! Please!" Dean is moving around impatiently. 

"No! Don't look at me, I'm indecent!" Caroline insists with her nephew. She looks up at Kiara. She was not aware she was there until now. The woman also has a long sleeve shirt as she walks over and ties her sweater around Caroline's waist. 

"I hope this will help you feel a bit more comfortable, ma'am." Kiara also says in a kind tone. She does feel more at ease. Dean ends up losing his patience and runs over to his aunt to look at her hand.

"Did Amon hurt you?!" Dean demands to know as he holds her hand gently. He pulls out his hand and draws a healing sigil on her hand, letting his magic flow through. The group is startled by how fast the healing is happening. Caroline sees that the same thing happened to her when she had sent out her attack at Valkhar. She theorizes that the ancient magic in this place they are at influences their own magical reserves.

"Uh... no, not entirely. This young lady... Sasha really helped me out a lot." Caroline and the rest of the group look to Sasha. She cautiously stands behind the wheelbarrow she had used to push Caroline around. Her pale eyes travel from side to side at all the unfamiliar faces. Dean looks up at her with a frown.

"Thank you for helping my aunt, Sasha. Thank you." Dean smiles and then turns back to Caroline to hug her tightly. Caroline jumps startled but then falls into his arms. She feels so relieved being held by the young man who she has seen as a son. She ends up letting herself cry as Dean hugs her tightly. Sasha is still shocked by the kind smile and the fact that someone thanked her. 

Diana smiles at the scene. She is relieved that Dean is happy again and that his aunt is safe and sound. She glances back over at Crowley as he keeps a lookout. He senses Diana's gaze and looks over at her. She frowns and looks away with a bit of a huff. 

"We need to get back. It could be bad if anyone else comes after us." Dean says as he pulls back a bit from Caroline. "It's going to be a long walk, though. So-"

"Take this... Caroline shouldn't be walking such a long distance." Sasha pushes the wheelbarrow towards them. The group is confused by this. Dean looks to his aunt as she stares at the wheelbarrow in disdain. Yet, she knows that right now, she has to be careful in her current state.

"Aunt Caroline? Are you tired? Is that why you were in there?" Dean questions her. Caroline sighs and then smiles a bit.

"No, but I have to take good care of your cousin." Caroline glances over at Dean as she puts a hand to her stomach.

"I don't have a cou-" Diana jabs Dean with her elbow, silently telling him to see the underlying message Caroline is trying to convey. "Ow! Why... Oh... OH! Congratulations!" Dean pulls Caroline back into a hug, very happy for his aunt. Caroline smiles and hugs Dean back. 

"I hate to cut this short, but the big guy is coming back up, and he looks pissed." Crowley calls out as he goes to join the group. 

"Okay, let's go! Get in the wheelbarrow, Aunt Caroline! I'll push you!" Dean rushes over to take the wheelbarrow from Sasha. She hands it over and backs away. 

"Sasha, what are you doing? Let's go!" Caroline says as she watches her backing away. Sasha smiles and shakes her head.

"I have to go back. I won't tell Master Amon what happened, I just have to go -" Sasha is interrupted as the tunnel entrance suddenly caves in. The group all stares in shock. They are trapped in Amon's place of control. 

"Shit... I think they know we are here." Crowley curses, looking between the caved-in entrance and the giant Valkhar having had come back. Crowley keeps the group back as he menacingly growls at them. Crowley looks over as Kiara in wolf form is also growling at Valkhar. He is larger than Kiara, both of them growling at each other, neither backing down.

"What do we do?! Where do we go?!" Diana questions as she also moves to help Dean protect Caroline. Sasha looks around and knows there is only one other way they can take. 

"The only other way is the actual exit out of the mountain. It's on the other side of this vast place... however, it is a guard post. So, you will absolutely encounter goblins and ghouls. If Master Amon knows what is happening... then you may also encounter him." Sasha mentions as they keep stepping back. Now Kiara is in front of them as Crowley moves the group back.

"Then, either we beat this guy and try to go through this tunnel once we clear it out... or we take the trek to the other side of this mountain." Crowley brings up to the group. No one knows what to do, so it's up to Crowley to make the difficult decisions.

"Who knows what we may encounter in the tunnels if at this point people are aware... we are taking the long way. You all go ahead, I'll catch up." Crowley orders the group.

"Wait, you're gonna-"

"Someone has to take care of the pregnant lady. So, I trust that you two can do that." He looks back at Diana and Dean. They look at him and then at each other.

"Don't take so long. Be careful." Diana can't help but say in spite of how upset she feels with Crowely. He smiles a bit and nods, looking back as Kiara and Valkhar begin to circle each other to gauge just how strong each other is.

"Hop on, Aunt Caroline!" Dean holds the wheelbarrow at the ready. Caroline sighs but gets in at the best position. Dean turns the wheelbarrow around, and he starts to run down. Diana follows right next to him. Sasha runs ahead.

"Follow me, I'll guide you through the safest paths. It's going to start being lively with it being everyone's time to wake up and live their lives." Sasha warns the pair as they follow her. Diana and Dean trust what Sasha says, and they keep going.

Valkhar howls and tries to go after them, but Kiara jumps at him. He barely dodges her sharp claws that come at him. He growls as he too prepares to fight back. Crowley keeps an eye on the group that runs off and on Valkhar to make sure he doesn't try anything. 

"Okay, are we done posturing? If not, I'm gonna kick his ass so I can catch up with the others." Crowley speaks out once the group is far enough away. Valkhar growls loudly before running to attack at Crowley. His body morphs, and he is now standing on his hand legs and is ready to claw him down for the surprise attack.

"Wow, I have not seen that before." Crowley comments before he stomps on the ground, making a rock barrier so he gets a chance to dodge Valkhar's claws since he is much faster than Crowley. Kiara runs after Valkhar. She does not seem to have the ability to become a bipedal wolf like Valkhar. She can match his speed better and is able to swipe at him, getting a shallow cut on his lower back. 

"That's better!" Crowley puts his hand out and quickly makes it into a fist, which in turn causes the broken rock barrier to sharpen and go flying at Valkhar. Kiara dodges the flying rocks as a lot of them lodge onto Valkhar's arm. He growls, and with a simple flex, the rocks that stabbed through come out.

"Well damn, I wish I had prepared some sil-" Valkhar uses the side of his body to slam against Crowley and send him flying. He ends up slamming into the caved-in tunnel. It is not enough to completely clear it up, but his body does make a dent. Crowley feels the ache deep in his bones, but in spite of that, nothing is broken. He does end up getting a gash on the back of his head that starts to bleed from the impact. 

Kiara barks out at him, checking on his condition. He groans and opens one eye to see where Valkhar is. "I'm alive, sorry, I'm focused now." Kiara once more goes to attack Valkhar. His wide movements prevent her from getting close enough to hurt him again. Their wolf bodies are different, and Valkhar has the advantage with his improved bipedal body.

Crowley carefully pulls himself up. His bones crack in response. "Focus, I have to get back and talk to Diana." Crowley takes a breath, but it feels painful when his chest expands. He fights against the pain and looks around for anything else to help him out. There isn't much nature around them, so he settles for what is there. 

Crowley places his hands on the rocks behind him, channeling his enhanced magic into them before he once again sends out the rocks towards them. Kiara is distracted, so she yelps once she's lifted into the air by a gust of wind that brings her back to Crowley. 

Valkhar uses his claws to smack away or break rocks. He is getting tired of Crowley's old tricks. Crowley smirks as Valkhar is distracted and has two spikes of rock stab through his feet. Valkhar cries out in pain and freezes for a moment before deciding what to do. 

"Yeah, I don't think so!" Crowley doesn't wait for Valkhar to react and free himself. He presses his hands to the rocks below his feet and has a barrage of rocks come out and stab through multiple parts of his body. Before he can hit a vital spot, his wrist feels like it's burning, and it throws off his magic flow. 

Kiara sees Crowley stop his attack and grip his wrist. He can't even contain his pained screams from the pain he is feeling. She barks once and runs full sprint towards Valkhar and sinks her fangs into his neck. She bites down until no sound is able to escape Valkhar. She crushes his throat and pulls until his neck breaks, and he dies instantly. He does not shift back and dies as he is. Kiara jumps down and shifts back before running back to Crowley.

"What is it?! Did he hurt you somehow?!" Kiara questions as she tries to grab his arm to see what is hurting him. Crowley doesn't let her as he holds his arm against himself. He seems adamant about hiding his wrist. This is unacceptable to her, and she uses her inhuman strength to pull his arm and exposes his wrist. "What is this?" Crowley tries to pull his arm back as the pain starts to fade.

"Let go!" Crowley yells out at her. Kiara looks at him in confusion. She doesn't understand what she is looking at. It is only a tattoo on his wrist. The area around it is red, like as if it were burnt. Once again, Crowley pulls his arm back and manages to take it back as he pulls his sleeve back down.

"Are you embarrassed of-"

"Just stop. We have to go catch up to the others." Crowley turns away from Kiara and starts to walk off. He feels the pain from the impact from earlier. He is dizzy and stumbles forward.

"Oh no! You're bleeding! Stop, we need to patch up your head!" Kiara rushes over to help support him. Crowley shrugs her away and puts his hand to the back of his head. He sends healing magic through it to close the injury from the deepest part of his injury. Kiara watches as the blood spilling from the back of his head stops coming out. His entire neck and back are a bloody mess.

"There's a lot of blood. You're going to startle the others if they see it. We are stopping by a body of water if we bump into one." Kiara says as Crowley puts his hand down and starts to walk again. He ignores the lightheaded feeling from the blood he was losing when they were facing Valkhar. Kiara sighs and follows Crowley.

"You were injured. It doesn't make you weak. Not many people... let alone a human can keep on fighting after being injured as much as you have. I'm sure you are struggling to stay standing. You are indeed a strong man, that's why you were chosen as a leader for Artemia." Kiara catches up to Crowley, keeping an eye on his condition. He keeps his gaze ahead, trying to focus on rushing towards the others.

The focus and silence are also how he is trying to keep upright and conscious. "We're about to reach the populated areas. I smell a body of water, so lets stop there, or we will be stopped by others when they're suspicious as to why you're a bloody mess." Kiara brings up. Crowley stumbles and has to use Kiara as support.

"Come on, just use me." Kiara puts his arm over her shoulders and then puts her arm around her waist. She leads him towards the body of water that she smells. They slow down as they see a waterfall coming into the mountain. It lands into a large lake that has a system that also pumps water through the entire underground city. 

Kiara looks around for any workers that maintain the place that could be close by and also for a spot to set Crowley down into a comfortable sitting position where he can rest his back on something. She sees one of the pipes that protrudes from the ground that they can use for such a case.

"Okay, we have to walk a bit more. This way... Crowley?" Kiara looks at him as he becomes limp. She holds him up with ease before clicking her tongue and picking him up in her arms. She runs over to the pipe and sits him down with his back against it.

They are as close to the water's edge as they can be. Kiara feels the water and cringes a bit at how cold it is. She knows that it will not be very comfortable for Crowley. He could warm it up, but he isn't really in a condition to do much of anything. He worked hard to make it as far as they did while staying conscious. 

"Diana..." Kiara jumps as he calls out the young woman's name. She looks back at him and then mutters a soft apology as she starts to remove his jacket and then turns her gaze away as she lifts up his shirt. It has to come off, so she gets his arms up one at a time to get the bloody shirt off. If she hadn't given Caroline her jacket, she could have used that to clean him up. As the shirt is already messy, it may become messier or become clean in the water. She will just have to figure it out as she cleans Crowley's neck and back. 

Diana slows down a step behind Dean. She looks back as if she were expecting to see someone. Dean notices her sudden change of pace.

"Diana?! Are you tired?! Should we stop?" Dean calls out to the distracted young woman. She is startled from her thoughts and looks back over at Dean. His mismatching eyes were full of concern. 

"No, that's not it. I... I just thought I heard Crowley call my name. Didn't you hear it?" Diana questions Dean. He shakes his head before he has to look forward so he doesn't lose track of Sasha. She's run up ahead to keep an eye on things for them. In the meantime, Caroline silently glances at Diana from her peripheral vision. Her hands tighten a bit around her stomach. She has been protecting that part of her since climbing on the wheelbarrow.

"Sorry, I guess I missed it. You must be worried. I am, too, for him and Officer Pancheri. But they're stronger than us, so I'm sure they'll catch up in no time. Maybe we should hide and regroup somewhere with them. Hey Sasha!" Dean calls out to the siren. She looks back and with her hand signals for him to slow down and then points to the left. He slows down as she requested and they stop before an alley that doesn't keep going. She motions them in, and there they can hide in the darkness.

The group goes in as far as it goes, and they press against the wall to keep hidden. Diana and Dean slide down to the ground and catch their breaths. Caroline clears her throat. "Oh, right!" Dean gets back up to help his aunt out of the wheelbarrow.

"It's also best for the three of you to get some rest. We must maintain our energies because we don't know who else we might face." Caroline says as she tries to encourage the two young people. They nod and sit back to catch their breaths.

"You all need to eat and drink water. I'll go back out to get some stuff. Wait here... and if your companions come back, don't hesitate to leave without me. I'll be fine, no one knows I'm helping you." Sasha starts to walk away from the group. 

"Careful on your way." Caroline calls out. Sasha nods and keeps going. Dean looks to his aunt and then smiles. Caroline feels his gaze and looks down at her smiling nephew. "What is it? Why are you smiling like that?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy you were kidnapped, but... I'm glad this helped you see that not all monsters are bad. They're like humans. There's the good, the bad, and the in-between. Aunt Caroline, I hope you can see that we can all be allies against the Three Generals." His voice is hopeful as he mentions this to Caroline. Caroline she looks away from him and moves her gaze to her stomach. Like she could see through it to her womb to check on the condition of her fetus.

"Even so, as a leader of Artemia, we had plans of petitioning you all. To fight for the rights of the monsters that live in Artemia. There are a group of us that don't want to see the monsters thrown out of Artemia. We want to keep co-existing. That kind of world is so much better than being isolated and not learning about how we can all live in harmony." Diana speaks up as well in support of Dean. Caroline looks at her, then glances at Dean. His gaze is on Diana with a warm smile and loving eyes. It surprises Caroline to see such a thing.

"You're so cute." Dean says out of the blue. Diana is startled and then turns bright red as she looks to Dean. He grins at her embarrassed expression and laughs a little as she shoves him. He barely budges from where he's sitting. "Ah, right! Aunt Caroline, you haven't met her, but this is Diana Green. She's my friend!" 

"Oh, yeah, so much has happened that we haven't had the time for introductions. It's an honor to meet you, Lady Caroline. I'm glad you're safe, and congratulations on your pregnancy." Diana stands up as she starts to speak and bows her head respectfully. Dean follows her back up, and they both face Caroline.

"Thank you, Miss Green. Also, thank you for the sweater. I am not used to being so exposed." Caroline adjusts the sweater that is around her waist that covers most of her legs. She is grateful that Kiara is a much taller and muscular woman, so her clothes are much bigger than what Caroline wears.

"Are you okay? Amon didn't hurt you in any way... right?" Dean says cautiously. The people present know the reputation he has, so Dean is trying to indirectly ask how far Amon got to Caroline. Especially since she was forced to wear clothes she is clearly uncomfortable with. Diana tugs on Dean's sleeve to silently let him know that it may not be the best question to ask. Directly nor indirectly. "Sorry... forget I asked."

"No, he didn't sexually assault me... Sasha was there all the time to divert his attention. Though, I can't say that she was liberated from the same fate that Amon had planned for me. She took it all. Not just for me, but for all the women stuck with him." Caroline crosses her arms, her fingers pressing tightly on her arm to show her indignation. Dean and Diana haven't known Sasha, but they feel it, too.

"He's gonna pay for what he's done. He can't get away with not only taking you but for the harm he is causing to his own people. He doesn't deserve forgiveness! There must be some way to help..." Dean becomes pensive. Caroline looks at the pair. Now it is Diana that looks at Dean with a warm smile and loving eyes. 

"Well, we do not have the power for that with us at the moment... The Holy Grail's location is unknown to anyone but one person. Oh... oh no, that's right. Amon knows where the Holy Horn is. He has people out there who could try to take it. I have no way to get the word out for them to remove it from its hiding spot. Though it is in a very safe space, it won't be easy to get either." Caroline reassures not only them, but herself. She doesn't tell the two of them where it is either.

"Well, that's bad. But why would he even want to take the Holy Horn when he can't use it? Not just anyone can use it either. According to our lessons, only a trained person with the right intent can use it and the other Holy Weapons. So, I guess that's both good and tedious." Diana mentions. Caroline nods in agreement to all of that.

"I mean... it could be possible that they may have trained someone. I mean, they do have humans here too, don't they? That's the legend... goblins have had a long history of kidnapping their brides as they have used that to evolve their kin and become stronger." Dean reminds the two of them.

"Yes, that could be a possibility. We can be sure that the Three Generals are not the best of friends. They will turn on each other once they think they can eliminate us. That is why they are trying to locate the Holy Weapons. I think the only real risk is Amon... since they have living humans among them. I can't say for sure what the status is for Serena Bathory and Ilyas Ithamar..." Caroline manages to see a darker shadow pass by as her vision adjusted to most of the darkness in the alley. She looks up, but it is only the silhouette of a bird.

"What an oddly shaped head." She thinks to herself. She can't really see or distinguish what she is looking at. She can only identify the outstretched wings. Her ears seem to ring as she starts to hear human-like whistling. 

"Aunt Caroline?" Caroline hears Dean's voice in a distorted fashion. Her vision seems to dance around as the bird circles overhead. It feels like it is calling to her and wants to guide her away. "Aunt Caroline!" Caroline comes to her senses as he grabs her arm. She was beginning to walk away, so Dean had to stop her from doing so.

"What's going on?! Where are you going?!" He questions her with concern. Caroline looks to Dean, but the whistling is starting up again. She pulls her arm back to cover her ears.

"What is that whistling?" Diana questions as she looks around. Dean looks at her, confused. He can't hear a thing.

"I don't hear anything." He tells her as she glances at him and Caroline. She sees her gaze is directed upwards. Diana follows her gaze to the fake sky above. She sees a bird's body, and it has a human head. Her eyes widen as she recognizes the spirit guide... The ba.

"Diana?"

"Why is The ba here? There are no spirits... unless..." Diana looks back over at Caroline as her pastel green eyes seem to start to glow, then the iris and sclera seem to become milky white. 

"What do you mean?! Like the spirit guide that leads them to the afterlife? Does that mean goons of Ilyas Ithamar are also here?!" Dean questions Diana as he tries to see what she is talking about.

"Dean, your aunt is possessed! Grab her! The ba is probably trying to guide her back towards Ilyas Ithamar!" Diana calls out. Dean is startled and looks to Caroline as she starts to run away.

"Aunt Caroline!" He runs after her. She is running faster than she normally would. Diana looks back up to see that the guide is trying to lead Caroline where it wants her. She wonders why the spirit within Caroline just doesn't exit her body. She can only assume that it also wants to know the location of the Holy Horn. There was no time to ask, but it was plain to see that Caroline is the person who knows its location.

"I gotta stop that thing since apparently I'm the only other person that can see it." Diana looks around and finds a ladder leading to the balconies on the floors above. Diana runs towards it, and with that running start, she jumps to grab onto the ladder. It creaks and wobbles but stays in place. Diana grunts as she forces herself to climb up to the top of the building.

"Aunt Caroline! Stop! You have to remember your baby! You have to take care of my cousin so I can protect them too when they're born!" Dean yells out as the distance between them seems to grow. Caroline manages to hear Dean and is able to get back some control of her body as she stops running long enough for Dean to catch up and grab a hold of her.

"D-Dean..." Caroline calls out with half of her voice and half of it sounding like the spirit inside of her.

"I got you! Diana, I got... Diana?" He doesn't see her with them. He looks around and then back at his aunt. She is looking up as she covers her ears. An internal struggle is going on within her. Dean follows her gaze. His eyes widen as he sees Diana running on the building ledge that they were next to when they were in the alley.

"Diana?!" He calls out with concern. The blackette keeps her focus as she runs towards The ba. She stops at the end of the building and looks up at The ba that hovers over head. It continues to whistle as it seems to want to call for Caroline to follow it. Diana holds out her hand, using her other hand to hold her wrist as support for what she plans to do. 

"Oh, waters of the land... hear my call. May the blessing of the Goddess of Spirits fill you and return the lost ones back to your side. Such as the water of channeling rivers connecting back to a single source! Water blast!" Diana calls out a prayer along with the spell. The windows of the building all burst as they send a wave of water out towards The ba. Diana did not intend to do something as drastic as that.

"What the?!" Dean shields Caroline from glass with his body. Water also rains down on them that flew up into the sky. Caroline gasps, and her back arches as her head lifts to the sky. Her mouth opens, and red smoke comes out of her. Dean is able to see this smoke as it heads for the false sky. He has to squint, so water stops landing into his eyes. "Diana!" He calls out before he catches Caroline as she passes out.

"Aunt Caroline! Hey, are you okay?!" Dean holds her chin as he gently shakes her head. She does not respond to this. He pats her cheek and continues to call out her name. Dean holds Caroline close as a powerful gust of wind suddenly blows over. He looks back to see that Diana had jumped from the building and used a blast of wind to ease her landing.

"Dean! Lady Caroline!" She runs over to them and then freezes as she looks down at Caroline's legs. "Oh no... she's bleeding..." 

"What?! Where?! Dean follows Diana's fingers and sees blood running down Caroline's inner thighs. "No...nononono... What do we do?! We absolutely need a doctor or Professor Nikki for this!" Dean says, horrified. Diana is also stuck on what to do. She has not received any kind of lesson to prepare for this. 

"How?! We are in the middle of Amon's territory, and anyone could be an enemy that will turn us in! We can't even make it out of here from where we are at and get Lady Caroline back to Artemia on time! Not only could she lose the baby, but she could also bleed out and die, too!" Diana also panics, which doesn't help ease Dean's own panic. 

"HEY!" The pair look over as Sasha comes back. She is running fast towards them as she drops the bags of supplies she had brought for the group. Once she makes it, she sees the state Caroline is. "What are you doing?! We have to stop the bleeding and get her to a maternity healer!" Sasha had kept on her wrist a bag and pulled out some clothes. She had also stopped by a clothing shop to bring Caroline better clothing. Now, they will fulfill a different purpose.

"Quick! Get her on her back and spread her legs!" Sasha orders Dean. Dean startles into action and rushes to do so. Diana doesn't need orders and rushes towards Caroline and pulls off her blood-stained underwear. Sasha works to put the cloth down there to hold off some of the bleeding. 

"Is the baby going to die?!" Dean questions, fear obvious in his eyes.

"With this much bleeding... it's very likely." Sasha tells Dean the cold truth. 

"No! That can't happen! Aunt Caroline was finally able to get pregnant, and I'm sure a woman her age can't easily do it again. Please! There must be some way to save my cousin, too!" Dean pleads with Sasha. Sasha knows its hopeless where they are now, but will try anyway.

"You! Go get the wheelbarrow, and I'll get us to the closest maternal healer! Quick!" Diana rushes back down the alley to get the wheelbarrow that was left behind. She sprints faster than ever before and drags it back over towards the group. 

"I got it!" Dean and Sasha get Caroline on. He once again follows Sasha's lead to the healer. Diana follows closely behind them as she keeps an eye out for anything else. She sent away The ba and the spirit that was possessing Caroline. That part was not included in her plan, but the blessed water reached her, so it cast out the spirit that was being held within her.

"Please... please make it. If this child can be loved, then they should live! I don't want Dean to feel that pain of losing a family member." Diana ends up sending out a plea in her thoughts. No one there notices that her eyes begin to glow blue for a brief moment before they turn back to their normal gray with new flecks of brown.

Sasha motions Dean towards a more isolated part of the city. Dean follows where Sasha is and then stops the wheelbarrow. He picks Caroline up and runs into the home as Sasha calls out in what the duo assumes is the goblin language. They see a gnarled, dark green skinned goblin hobbling to meet the group at the entrance. She squints as she looks through her matted gray hair at the group of humans with a siren.

She listens silently as Sasha tries to explain the situation to the old woman. Diana and Dean want to help, but they don't know if this goblin speaks the human language. Dean is looking at his aunt desperately as he hopes this goblin will aid them.

"Yes, okay! She will help! put her down over here!" Sasha directs herself back to Diana and Dean. He quickly perks up and follows Sasha through a door. The room is lit in the same way the entire city is. With fake stars overhead that light up the small room. In the center is a small pool that would barely go over a child's chest. The woman speaks to herself in her goblin language as she starts to throw different herbs inside the water.

"She said to put her in. This will help stop the bleeding at the very least. We will have to wait before checking if the baby is still inside of her." Dean kicks off his shoes and gets into the water with Caroline, sitting behind her as he holds her against his chest. The milky medicinal water starts to turn red from the blood as the goblin woman removes the clothes that were used to hold back the bleeding. She sets it aside outside of the pool.

Diana gulps and looks at the bloody clothes. She hopes she won't come across the tiny clump of cells or, worse, the forming fetus. Her stomach swirls, and she has to look away from the clothes. She feels helpless and doesn't know what to do with herself as Sasha and Dean talk to an unconscious Caroline. The goblin woman speaks to Sasha.

"Really? She says that Caroline had stopped bleeding a while ago. What came out is just what was left over from the cloth we used to keep the bleeding at bay. We need to know if she's still pregnant, though. We need the Mother's Rose to see." Sasha explains to the two of them. They are relieved that the bleeding has stopped, but they don't know if that means whether Caroline is still pregnant or not.

Sasha stands up from the pool's edge and goes to where the woman points her crooked, calloused finger. She grabs a pot with the flowers that are closed up. The group all look at the flower. Diana and Dean aren't sure how a flower can tell if Caroline is pregnant or not. Sasha makes her way back over to them and crouches down.

"If this blooms... then she is still pregnant. This flower only blooms in the presence of a pregnant woman. The color determines what energy it has. Pink is feminine energy, red is masculine energy, and white is a twin soul. Not... multiple births, but a being that identifies with both energies at the same time. Earlier, this had bloomed pink." Sasha explains to them as she brings the pot near Caroline's stomach that is submerged in the milky red water. 

Dean and Diana's eyes widen as they see the closed buds open up and show a glowing pink rose. Dean lets out a relieved breath and hugs his aunt. "My cousin is okay... thank goodness." Diana also lets out a relieved breath, and her legs give out as she collapses on the ground. Sasha goes back to speak with the woman as the two of them settle their nerves. Their exhaustion starts to set in.

Sasha stares at the blooming flower with a smile before it slightly fades. The flowers start to appear like they are developing black veins. She ends up pulling the pot back to observe this, but the flowers end up closing back up as they are not close enough to Caroline. She doesn't put it back so as not to stress out further the two humans with her.

"Okay, let's get Caroline out and set her down on a bed. I don't think we can move her right now in her fragile state. This woman, she will allow us to remain here for the day. I told her the truth." Diana and Dean are curious as to why she just put strong emphasis on the word truth. "That you are all captives of Master Amon, and he will await our return once Caroline is in a state to move." 

The pair look at each other in shock, but hope that Sasha is just giving them a convincing cover story. They don't exactly know how much they can trust her right now. Their fate is in her hands right now. All they can do is nod, as they don't want to make the old goblin woman suspicious. She straightens her hunched back as much as she can before motioning them to follow her.

Sasha grabs a towel to help Dean wrap Caroline up as he carries her out. He stands on another towel to let most of the water drip off his clothes and to dry his feet. The group follows the old woman to a bedroom with a single bed. Dean sets Caroline on a chair as he looks to Sasha and Diana. 

"Um, I'll have to leave you all to help Aunt Caroline get out of her wet clothes. I hope this old woman has clothes she can borrow." Dean mentions to the two of them. Sasha nods and asks the woman for a gown that Caroline can use. The old woman leaves them to go get clothes for them. 

"I'll just air dry. I'll try to use a lot less magic than normal so I don't blow the roof off this place." Dean grabs his wand and streams the lowest level of wind and adds in magic when he gets the amount he needs to dry himself enough to not drip all over the place. Diana goes to the door to listen out for the old woman.

"Make sure to hide your wand when the woman comes back. I don't think we'd make convincing prisoners if we still had access to our magic tools." Diana says softly. Dean frowns a bit as he finishes up drying himself enough. He thinks back to how they ended up in this mess.

"Diana... did you use magic without a wand? Just... Just like Crowley?" Dean questions, suddenly changing the subject. Diana is startled. She had always kept hidden this ability of hers from others. Yet Mary and now Dean are the two people she has exposed this to. Diana hadn't even mentioned this to Crowley.

"Um... yeah, I guess I did." Diana looks to the side. She is debating whether to lie or not. 

"Please don't lie to me, Diana. You can be honest with me." Dean notices this detail. She always looks away when she is thinking of a lie. Diana's brow furrows in worry before she looks back at Dean's gaze. She bites her lower lip and then sighs.

"Yes, I can use magic without channeling it through a wand or magic tool. Though, it's not as perfectly controlled as Crowley as I have hidden that for so long. It's not as trained as his magic." Diana admits to him. Dean nods and smiles a bit as he puts his wand away.

"Thank you. Well, I'll be honest, too... I can kind of do the same thing with the tiniest of spells. I do it all the time when I don't want to get out of bed to turn off the light. I use a plant near the door and have it flip the switch." Dean mentions innocently. The drastically different use of magic without a wand ends up making Diana laugh a little. She covers her mouth to keep from being heard by the goblin woman. Dean's silly comparison eases her.

"She's coming." Diana rushes away from the door and goes to stand beside Dean. She unconsciously places her hand on the bend of his arm as they look to the door open for the old woman as she hobbles in. Her arms hold some brown and dark green cloths. Sasha goes to receive the clothes and thanks the woman. 

"Okay, I suppose that's my cue." Dean gently touches Diana's hand on his arm. She blinks in confusion and notices she had her hand there. She softly apologizes before taking her hand back. Dean smiles at her before he steps out of the room. The old woman follows him out and looks over at him. He looks down at her.

"Um, I'm sorry, I don't speak goblin... but um, thank you. I'll try to learn a bit to say it properly." Dean can only bow his lower body as low as possible. The old woman reaches out her hand and runs her fingers through Dean's messy blond hair. He blinks in confusion but doesn't move. He stands still as the woman speaks again. This time, he is able to understand what she is trying to say.

"Lo...ve...ly...." The rest Dean is unable to understand as it sounds like the sounds of the goblin language. He smiles a bit before she sets her hand down. She clears her throat and hobbles away. Dean waves as she leaves to do her own thing. He looks out to the window, wondering how they will be able to get back in touch with Kiara and Crowley. He wonders if they were able to defeat Valkhar in a timely manner.

                                                                                 ~0~

Crowley startles awake and sits up. He doesn't feel any kind of pain after having rested. He does shiver from cold as his shirt is gone. He looks around and finds Kiara looking out towards the city. He stands up, still feeling some dizziness from the blood that had come out of his head. Kiara looks back at Crowley and holds out his jacket.

"Sorry, I had to use your shirt to clean off the blood. It's drying right now, so you'll have to make due with just that." He takes his jacket back and puts it on to ease the cold on him. 

"Yeah, thanks for the help. I'm alright now. We have to go meet up with Diana and the others." Crowley says as he reaches his hand out, and the wind brings his shirt towards him. He catches it, feeling that it is still a bit wet. Kiara sighs at the rush but knows they all need to regroup.

"Do you think that Serena Bathory will take what happened after we killed one of her men?" Kiara wonders aloud to Crowley. She had a lot of time to think while he was unconscious about what all this is leading up to. Crowley's jaw twitches a bit as he starts to walk down to the city with Kiara as the lead. 

"I'm sure she is not. She has a reputation for holding a grudge and seeking revenge. I'm sure Serena Bathory will strike as soon as possible. Who knows, maybe the Three Generals will end up turning on each other before they even try to attack Artemia." Crowley frowns as he thinks about how things have gotten so troublesome. He knows that part of it is his fault, so now he's trying to fix what he can before things get worse.

"That would be the best case scenario indeed. But it would also mean that one of them would increase their subspecies count." Kiara's eyes flash brighter. "My people are still under the control of the vampire queen. My family may have fled, but we are still under her hold. We have been for centuries." 

Crowley doesn't respond to this as he continues looking around. He hopes that Diana is okay. He wanted to contact her, but their phones became useless once they left Artemia. They are also shut down so they don't get tracked down by anyone in Artemia looking for him. Right now, he is in high demand by the leaders of Artemia, so he can't afford to be tracked right now.

"I haven't had time to bring it up before, but now I can... Diana Green, and you have extremely similar scents. I think I know why that is, so if you could please confirm it. The reason you are so desperate to get back to the others is her because she's - "

"I guess I can't trick a sensitive nose like yours. I would rather this not get brought up right now. For Diana's sake, I have to keep it a secret a bit longer." Crowley stops her from saying aloud his true relationship with Diana. 

"Alright, then I want to ask something else." 

"You really have a lot of questions."

"That's right, because I must confirm our investigation to the runaway goblin that we encountered in that safehouse. It was my mistake before, but now I see that the one that helped him escape was not Diana... but you. You're really racking up a criminal record. Your crimes will come to the surface, and you'll be placed under arrest... possibly executed." Kiara grunts as she's pinned to a building by Crowley's forearm. She growls and quickly goes for a punch. Crowley barely dodges it in his state.

"Just stop talking! I get it. You plan to turn me in and have me executed for everything I've done! I don't need the reminder. I know what I'm putting myself at risk at since I began helping monsters. This time, I messed up. I didn't stop this! Just shut up!" Crowley finally snaps, but his anger isn't truly directed at Kiara as much as it is on himself. He is distracted by the fact that Diana is upset with him and fears that she may come to hate him before they've built that sibling bond he wants.

Kiara's enlarged fangs recede, and her glowing yellow eyes dim back down as she also notices that Crowley is frustrated as well by the situation. She doesn't bring it up again and starts to walk on. Crowley pauses a bit before he follows after her again. His outburst made him realize just how affected his concentration is when he is not on the best of terms with Diana.

"I have younger siblings, and when we become upset with each other... we usually make up and are able to learn from our mistakes. But it's also very typical for siblings to always fight and make up. It's a never-ending cycle. If you mean it, then I'm sure you can make it up to her." Kiara says offhanded as she motions him over to hide behind walls. He follows and hides behind her, but he doesn't respond to what she says. It does ease him a bit knowing that siblings have this cycle of fighting and making up. He hopes that he can make this up to Diana and get along once again.

They walk through the maze like structure of the city, trying to look normal when there is no way for them to hide. Everyone seems to be minding their own business or watching them cautiously. No one appears to be reporting them either.

They walk around for almost an hour until Kiara catches the scent of blood. She rushes ahead to check that it isn't one of their companions. Crowley quickly runs after her, and they see the huge mess of water and shattered glass. They hear sirens coming their way, so they have to run away.

"Blood, I smelled it, but it was fading away with this mess of water. I don't see anyone here, but there's a faint trace of our companions." Kiara mentions as she runs on with him. Crowley looks around, trying to check for any trace of magic, but everyone's output changed when they all arrived in the goblin and ghoul city.

"Do you still smell it?" Crowley is worried about Diana. He wants to rush to where she is at, but he needs Kiara right now to track her scent. Kiara looks around, taking a deep breath through her nose.

"This way, their scent is growing strong ag- oh!" Kiara and Crowley are forced to stop as two motorcycles block their path forward. Crowley sees the semblance of a uniform, so he assumes these are officials.

"Stop right there. We need to see your visiting visas. Where do you two come from? It better not be one of those human strong holds." A man questions the two of them. The pair is unable to tell who he is looking as his eyes are all a solid dark blue color. His skin is a slightly lighter shade of blue compared to his eyes.

"Why? We were just walking around. Are you suspecting us of having had come here illegally?" Crowley questions even though that is exactly what happened. They are absolutely breaking the law right now.

"Yes, show us your proof... human." They both say abruptly. Kiara and Crowley try not to cringe and nod. They pretend to look through their pockets.

"Say are those cycles made of natural metals?" Crowley questions them.

"Yes, of course. But that's not important. Show us your papers!" The same officer insists with them. Crowley nods and pulls out his hands from his pockets and holds them up.

"Thanks for letting me know." Is all he says before the bikes are pushed by a powerful gale that sends them flying towards the two officers. They were not expecting this, so they didn't get a chance to defend themselves. "RUN!"

Crowley and Kiara both run away. He let's her take the lead as they try to locate the others. Kiara grabs his arm and pulls him around to an alley that begins to lead them back out to the edges of the city.

They see a house far out ahead of them. "They must be over there. I can smell the scent of the group getting strong again." Kiara mentions. This time, Crowley runs ahead.

"Diana!"

Diana sits up abruptly as she hears Crowley's voice. She startles Dean and Sasha as she runs out of the room.

"Diana?!" Dean follows after the blackette as she runs out of the house and looks around. "Diana, what happened?!"

"I know I heard Crowley this time! There!" She points towards Crowley and Kiara running over towards them. Diana lets out a relieved breath and places her hands over her heart.

"We made it! Diana, are you-" Crowley is caught by surprise as Diana hugs him. Crowley's eyes widen before he hugs her back just as tightly. He feels such a wave of relief. Yet that also brings back the ache in his back, and he ends up tensing.

"I felt that! Are you okay?!" Diana pulls back to look at Crowley. He usually stands tall and proud, but he is slightly bent over, and his brow is furrowed in discomfort.

"Well, this fool ended up slamming against rocks and hurting the back of his head. He bleed a lot, too, as we fought that beast. He needs to be looked at." Kiara speaks up for him. He clicks his tongue at Kiara.

"Okay, let's get him inside. Lean on me." Dean is at Crowley's side after being quiet for so long. Diana stares in concern and nods in encouragement. Crowley sighs and uses Dean as support to get inside.

"Are you alright, um... Kiara?" Diana questions as they walk behind the two men into the home. Kiara puts a hand over her nose as she smells blood.

"What is that?"

"Lady Caroline started bleeding from... from down there. Yet somehow, the baby is still there and alive. She's not bleeding anymore but is being looked after by the maternal healer. She can't move, but... I don't think we can overstay our welcome either." Diana makes sure the door is looked before continuing on her way.

"You're right... we ran into some trouble on our way here. We ended up attacking some officers due to being here illegally. So, we might be reported and will be hunted down." Kiara clenches her hands. Hating how complicated this rescue mission had become. She wonders how they can safely get Caroline out without causing more harm to the baby in her womb.

"Oh, that's just great. If Amon Bedivere didn't know we broke in, he will now." Diana says with a sigh as they stand outside the room where Caroline is being kept.

"Let's hope that it doesn't go beyond Crowley and myself. I'm sure he has no idea that neither you or Dean Acacia is here.  Let's keep it that way. Right now, we need to recover our strength and plan our next move." Kiara runs her fingers through her messy hair. It had come undone with all the running.

"We don't want to push our luck, so we are all pretty much just rooming together here. Sasha told the goblin woman that we were Amon's prisoners, so that probably allowed her to help us. We may get turned in, so Sasha is doing her best to talk with the woman and keep her distracted. We don't understand her since she only speaks the goblin language." Diana updates Kiara all they've had to endure. She nods, and then they step inside the room again.

Crowley was set on the only other mattress made available to them. Caroline is on the other, still not having had woken up.

"Diana, please come help me." Crowley calls out as he sees the two women enter. Diana goes over to him and crouches beside him. He looks up at her with a soft smile, relieved to see she is alright.

"What do you need me to do?" Diana wonders what he has in mind to get helped. He grunts a bit before putting his hand up. Diana understands and takes his larger hand into her two smaller hands.

"If you can help channel healing magic through me... that would be great. It'll help me recover faster." Crowley mentions to her. "Please..."

"I'm not the best at healing magic as much as I am combat magic... I'll do my best. Maybe..." Diana's gaze trails to the side as her expression becomes concerned. She jumps as two hands come over her arms. She looks back at Dean as he smiles gently.

"I'll help you. I'm pretty good at it. " Dean puts his hands over Diana. She blushes and nods her head as they focus their healing powers and send them through Crowley. Crowley feels most of the intense pain he was feeling subside. It is going faster than normal when they are in Artemia.

"Okay, that's enough. My body can heal the rest as long as we're here. It looks like this is a strong area that enhances our magic. That's a relief." Crowley lies back on the mattress, his hand still being held by Diana as Dean holds hers.

Crowley arches his eyebrow as Dean gets closer to Diana and has an obvious glare directed towards him. Diana and Dean release their hold on Crowley's hand and let him rest it over his stomach.

"Um... D-Dean?" Diana questions as his arms remain over her, and his chest is pressed against her back. It feels so warm and comforting to her. Yet, it's also embarrassing being held like this in front of everyone. Diana is relieved that Caroline is not awake for this.

"All good. Are you okay, Diana? You haven't exhausted too much of your magic, have you?" Dean questions as he continues to hold her. He wants to make sure she doesn't collapse suddenly. While also showing off to Crowley that he is the one that is closest to Diana. Yet, he is also trying to figure out what intentions or relationship Crowley has with Diana.

"Oh, yeah, I'm good. I've used a lot of magic today, but I think this place has helped me use a lot less than normal. Though, we all probably do need to rest and recover. None of us have eaten or anything." Diana places her hands to her stomach as it growls. Dean chuckles as Diana turns bright red.

A knock at the door makes the group quiet down. Diana makes her way to the door and peeks in to see Sasha. She lets out a breath and lets her through. "I bring food for you all. I went to go buy some again since the once I bought before was well... lost." 

"Ah, thank you, you're amazing!" Diana says happily as she takes the bag of food. She pulls it out on the table and passes out water and food to the others. They set aside Caroline's share, hoping she'll be able to wake up soon and eat.

"So, what are we going to do? We have to keep in mind what we are going to do to get Lady Caroline out of her safely. After this incident, she could once again be put at risk of losing her baby. I don't think we will get lucky again after what was explained to us." Kiara mentions concerned as they look to Caroline. Dean's brow furrows as he looks over at his aunt. 

"It would be safer if she didn't move at all, right? And that would be months while my cousin grows up inside Aunt Caroline's womb. I don't think we can afford to be gone for months, though. Uncle Tommy would absolutely go crazy since he loves her so much. He would want to be there for them." Dean looks back to the group as they sit near Crowley's bed so he doesn't have to get up as he recovers. 

"I'm sure she won't even be able to resist another wheelbarrow trip." Sasha adds on, trying to be of help to the group. She's been gone for so long, so she's concerned for the others at Amon's place. There is no telling what he could be doing and how informed he is about the unexpected guests that have arrived in his territory.

"I'll teleport her. I could end up using up all of my magic, of course, so... I'm going to have to be as close to outside as possible. I think there could be some deep sea friends that will help us get back to Artemia through the ocean." Crowley suggests after being quiet for the most part. Diana looks at him, remembering what he did for Roard when helping him escape. He is right to say that it could be a lot further than what he did before.

"That's impossible! A human doesn't have that much magic to teleport another person with them." Dean says, shocked.

"I can. I'm a lot stronger than your run of the mill human. How do you think I've come this far in life?" Crowley sounds a bit smug, knowing he is powerful. He isn't ashamed to say it. Dean sees his point, not wanting to argue that Crowley is indeed powerful. He has a reputation as one of the most powerful members of the Five Elite.

"Will you have the strength to even do so? You're still healing, and you probably used a lot of magic when facing that wolf shifter." Diana reminds him. He smiles a bit and then looks at his hands.

"I have, but with rest, I'll be mostly up to full power again. This place enhanced our magic, so I think I can get us further out. All of you will have to go ahead, though. I can't do more than myself and someone else. That means we need to know how to get out of here safely. I need to know any specific landmarks outside that I can teleport the two of us." The group all look to Sasha as Crowley suggests the formations of their plan.

Sasha looks between everyone and sighs, knowing she has to help them. They have made it this far together, and she really doesn't want Caroline to go back with Amon. He got the information he wanted from her, and she won't allow him to go further with her. Sasha won't allow him to break another woman's spirit to satisfy his perverse needs. 

"Okay, I will get you a landmark away from the post where the guards are at. Everyone else will have to risk going through there, though, just in case a distraction is necessary. They do regular patrols around the mountain. I don't really know the schedule as I haven't really left this place in years." Sasha informs them of what they could do.

"That's fine. We'll be a distraction. Although, if Crowley does end up immobilized once he and Lady Caroline are out... then someone else has to be with them." Diana reminds the group. They can't have two people in bad shape so close to enemy territory.

"I'll do it. I'll go with him and Aunt Caroline." Dean immediately volunteers. Diana looks at him surprised but knows it would be for the best. He could move Crowley around, unlike herself. She held back her training for a long time, so she doesn't have the ability to lug around men bigger than her in a moment's notice. She is unable to harness that fighting power like she had those times in the past. Diana is also aware that if she did, she would be in immense pain.

"Um, what?" Crowley questions, like he misheard that Dean is offering to help him out. He figured it would be Kiara that would be helping him out as she has the experience and power to help move them around.

"Yep, you and me are going to work together to get Aunt Caroline out of here safely. I will make sure she comes out okay with my cousin!" Dean doesn't allow any room for arguments. He also says this in a bright tone that throws off any arguments. Crowley is absolutely at a loss for words.

"Then we will serve as the distraction and escape this place through the main entrance of the city." Kiara just goes with the plan. She is capable of taking care of Diana and herself. Diana nods in agreement, also not seeing any issue with this group split. Crowley relents as he is not going to win any arguments against this. 

"Then we have the minimum done. Now... the tedious part is getting the actual plan together." Diana says with a sigh. "We may have to stick around for another day or two as we learn the route we are going to take as well as where you all will end up. I mean, if Crowley can only teleport one person, that means you'll have to go ahead to the meeting spot, Dean." 

"Oh, that's right, and then you have to get in touch with your merfolk friends." They look to Crowley as he sits up from the bed. Well, I'm in a good enough state to-"

"No! Lie down and sleep. You need to recover. I won't accept any arguments." Diana scolds Crowley. "We will get to all these steps... in fact, tell me who they are. I can contact them myself so we don't have to risk ourselves by staying more days than necessary." Diana stands up and stands over Crowley. He looks up at the determined young woman. He just wants to keep her safe, but she is going to help out one way or another. She will walk headlong into danger.

"Fine, fine... Use this spell to put a call out to a mermaid. Her name is Calliope. She will be an ally. " Crowley uses his finger to trace out the symbol on Diana's palm. She memorizes the design as they have no way to draw it out. "Please be careful, Diana. Don't get caught by anyone." 

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her. I promise." Diana and Crowley look over at Dean. "Hey, I feel like I haven't done much since coming here, so the least I can do is help out where I can." 

"Okay, then the two of us will go get in contact with the mermaid, Calliope. We will head out in the daytime as that is when the goblins and ghouls sleep." Diana straightens out as she stands next to Dean. He smiles at her and nods, ready to accomplish the mission. Sasha walks to the window and looks out.

"Then I'm sure the sun is not too far off. In the sky, do you see that hole on the mountain? We use that to allow the human women to get some sunshine for their health. So, be cautious there will be humans out and about." Sasha warns the pair. "In order to make sure you don't get stopped or questioned, we should put on some fake goblin marks on you both. Just so they believe you're a married couple." 

Diana and Dean both blush, not sure how to react aloud to that. They haven't been able to delve further into their relationship since all this is happening.

"It's fake." Crowley reminds them.

"Yeah! Yeah, we know that." Diana says a bit higher pitched than she meant to. She clears her throat and nods at Sasha. "Can we leave that to you?" 

"Yeah, I'll get some paint and better clothes to have you all go as incognito as possible. Leave that to me." Sasha smiles and steps out to get the materials they will need.

"Then we will take care of Lady Caroline while you both head out to go do that. Though, how will you two get to the ocean when you can't pass through without documents?" Kiara mentions now that she thinks of it. She can't ask Sasha as she is already gone. The group also realizes this.

"This is a mountain. There has to be some other unnoticed exit to the world outside." Dean says pensively. Diana's eyes widen as he says this.

"Oh... that's right. I'm outside of Artemia now. I made it out..." Carefully, she makes her way towards the window to look out at the goblin city. So much happened that she didn't realize that they had traveled a long way outside of Artemia. Crowley turns his head to look at Diana's shocked expression. They are both finally outside of The Wall.

                                                                        ~0~

"Sasha! SASHA!" Amon yells out as he smacks away furniture and people around him. He increased his size to be able to do such an act. All the blackout people are unable to tell Amon where the siren is. Especially since Caroline is also nowhere to be found. He had received the report of trouble heading his way from Karina Wood, but he wanted to confirm it by speaking with Sasha. Now he sees how real the threat is.

"Who is it?! The humans?! Or that damned old bat lady?! SASHA!" Amon makes his way outside and yells out the siren's name again. There is no response.

Amon grunts and growls as he hears sirens coming up to his place. Officers arrive to report to Amon. He waits as one of them comes to him. The man has his hat over his face as everyone knows that Amon hates to look at the faces of men.

"Master Amon, we have a report! Two officers were attacked by illegal visitors. A man and a woman according to them. Possibly from the human stronghold of Artemia. We've investigated things around the tunnel. It is caved in, and we found the dead body of a wolf shifter. He is in beast form, so we are unable to recognize him." The officer reports. 

"I don't care about a dead mutt! Find those humans! Find Sasha! If I find out that damned fish betrayed me... she will wish I had killed her!" Amon yells out at the officers. They are startled by his overwhelming power and bow their heads.

"Yes, Master! We will find the humans and siren!" They assure him as they rush out. Amon looks back at his mansion and starts to follow the vehicles. He, too, plans to become involved. He will find Sasha and Caroline no matter what.
