As soon as they stepped outside the library, Sinn started to question just how wise it had been to offer to escort Daechir while Ella and Marcus contacted Amanda to check on the situation in England and warn them that it was best not to trust Alston if he turned up again.Daechir had become subdued, the fight apparently leaving him after his outburst, and simply walked in the direction they pointed him. Sinn didn’t relax her guard for one moment though. She’d fought against him and knew just how strong and capable a fighter he was and she hadn’t lived as long as she had by trusting easily.“Not that way,” Sinn growled out softly, reluctantly placing a hand on Daechir’s arm before he moved any further towards the door that led back down to where the cells were. He stayed silent at her touch and just looked at her cautiously, his body barely moving as he waited.“Sinn, love, what are you doing?” Yoanna asked in quiet

With a terse nod in Daechir’s direction, Sinn led the way out of the library, hyperaware that Yoanna was right behind him. She didn’t trust him, but time was of the essence and if he was willing to give her something that could help Dan’s pack, Sinn was willing to bend a little. From his reaction to the flurry of petals, she had already guessed that whatever he had planned involved the tunnel beneath them but, she just couldn’t work out how. She followed him though, ignoring all the curious stares as he led the way down and through where most of the vampire’s still preferred to spend the daytime until they were standing where the main part of it began. He eyed her curiously as they came to a halt, a look in his green eyes that screamed that he had expected something more off her before they got there. In the end, it was Yoanna that broke the silence.“What is the meaning of this, Daechir? You said there was a way to help them but you lead u

Ella fought down a yawn and tried to gain some semblance of control over her hair as she shuffled her way into the vast kitchen. Their night had been rough, to say the least, and her hair refused to cooperate even after her morning shower. With the occasional grunt in reply to some far too cheery greetings tossed her way, she pulled her still damp hair back into a low ponytail as she made her way to the quieter end of the kitchen that Yoanna and Sinn seemed to have claimed as their own. If she hadn’t been so tired and had actually had more than a passing interest in cooking, she might have been jealous at how they had managed to gain that space under the watchful glower of the formidable woman that held sway over the kitchens there. Her first bit of joy that morning came in the realisation that the couple looked a little worse for wear themselves… though Ella knew their subdued state wasn’t down to a rough night with a puk

The smells and sounds of home settled around them as they completed their step through the portal through to the other side. Sinn had thought that everyone would have moved through but they were still there, waiting. The expressions on the faces of the ones they had rescued were still mostly shocked, confused and fearful as their world had shifted so sharply around them.Through the crowds of people, she caught a glimpse of Rosita being supported by Simon. She looked like she had escaped without further harm but the usually overly verbose Psychic was looking subdued in a way that went beyond her lack of sight, as she was barely responding to anything Simon or anyone else was saying to her.As she looked around further, her eyes seeing out the faces she knew to make sure that none of their people was hurt or had gotten lost along the way, Sinn belatedly realised that while they were in the tunnel, there weren’t at the end they had started off from for some reason

Day 123 – Ten Weeks After The Events In EnglandHumming softly under her breath, Yoanna turned off the bathroom light and made her way back into the bedroom. Sinn had barely even moved when she had left their bed. A rumbling groan of protest had been her only acknowledgement at the disturbance. She had moved more since then though, her body obviously reaching out endearingly across the bed in search of her for the way her arm was stretched as far as possible across her side of the bed was any indication.Moving across the room, she followed the path of faint light from a hastily lit privacy candle as it highlighted the golden glow of Sinn’s tanned flesh where her movements had caused the covers to fall from her body.Green eyes peeked out with a metallic glimmer from behind a curtain of dark hair as she lifted her head and turned lazily onto her side in a move that allowed even more of the covers to fall away. It took every ounce of willpower Yoanna possessed, and Sinn’s wickedly know
