"You are strong Terra."

Conner and Mary stepped out into the large room, the door behind closing with Conner's hand. He was curious about what the young girl saw but he had to make sure that she wasn't hurt. "You okay?" He asked as his eyes scanned her from top to bottom. Her short brown hair bounced as she nodded, her eyes still a little dazed as she tried to comprehend what had just happened, "Yeah." Mary softly said. "I know you're wondering about what I saw but right now I need to figure it out myself." Ivy walked towards the two, noticing that they were talking in hushed tones. "What's going on?" The two jumped with the new arrival and before any of them could answer, the call of another interrupted them, "Mary!"

All three of them turned their bodies and stared behind them, Sylvester stared at them with a strange look in his eyes that Conner himself didn't recognize. "In my office." The white haired man turned around and walked with his hands behind him, "All I can tell you is that." Mary whispered which caught the attention of Ivy and Conner who came a bit closer to her, "She was laying on a bed, screaming." With those words out her mouth Conner and Ivy looked at each other with big eyes, not noticing Mary walking after their leader.

Terra sat in the darkness with her head between her legs, screams of agony and sorrow echoing in the small room she created. Ruby lips mumbled words to soft and quick for anyone to understand as the hold of her head tightened. Knowing she needed to get out of here made her stand and wipe the tears that fell to her cheek, "You are strong Terra." She said and placed her hand on the wall, narrowing her eyes as her face went cold.

The wall slowly opened and she stepped out, "Finally." A deep male voice startled her and she jumped looking towards the door. "I've been standing here for hours." Terra said nothing and walked over to the mirror in the room, she gathered her raven hair into her hands and brought it into a ponytail. The boy watched her with orange-yellow eyes as she pulled an elastic off her arm and into her hair. She was beautiful, he couldn't deny the pull of wanting to protect her. "What do you want?" He stood up straight noticing her full attention was on him, "Sylvester told me to come get you." Terra's eyebrow raised, "For dinner." The man continued and a small smirk came unto her face.

Terra hummed and walked towards the boy, "What?" He asked but Terra walked past him and out the door, he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and followed behind her. "Wait, you don't know where you're going." Quickening his steps he was soon walking in front of her. Terra didn't speak much more as she followed him, instead listening to him as he spoke, "The name's Tan." He glanced behind him to see her reaction but her face was stone cold. "I saw what you did with the metal earlier, it was pretty cool." Tan continued, taking another glance at her, this time at her leg which still had the metal wrapped around it.

"We're here." They stepped into a large room with a large table in the middle of the room, taking a glance around the room Terra took quick notice of the girl that forcefully entered her mind and she clenched her jaw. "Sit." Sylvester smiled at the two new figures but his voice held warning. Terra walked to an empty seat which was conveniently right in front of the purple eyed girl.

Mary glanced down at her food as Terra continued glaring at her with narrowed eyes, Mary had a feeling that if they were alone together things would get messy very quickly and she didn't want to know how long she would have till that time came. Terra kept her eyes on the female ignoring Sylvester who was next to her at the head of the table, "Let's toast to another day of freedom and another day of living." At his words Terra couldn't help but chuckle, they call this living? Even though the outside isn't much and you can hardly get a chance to breath, it was what she called freedom. "You have a problem?" Conner growled at her and she moved her head to look at him, which wasn't far since he was sitting right next to Mary, "Yes. Tell your girlfriend to keep her hands off me or next time I'll take them off."

Mary gasped and Ivy coughed on her drink. Conner glaring at Terra with so much intensity as she just smiled at him.
