Back to the Squall Manor (2)

Ari went dead cold when he heard the Squall Manor had been attacked. All the more when the dream spirit added that it had been a bloody mess. He immediately stood up, letting go of Red's hands as the shock of the news sunk into him.

"What do you mean it was a bloody mess? Were there bodies found there? What of my mother and siblings? My fian- " Ari turned to Red, as he realized he was about to mention the fact that he actually had a fiancée.

The black cat didn't reply, refusing to tell more than what he had told them.

"Ari, we must hurry then," Red said as she stood up and took his hand in hers, "Don't worry too much, I am sure that your family survived the attacks. I know it, your sisters attacked me and they were incredibly strong for their age."

Red felt Ari's grip on her hand tighten, and she knew that he was trying hard not to lose his cool from the news that Sir Arthur brought.

She turned to the dream spirit and asked, "Will you come with us?"
