Cillian sighed and bent down in front of her looking her in the face. "Then I'll do what I can," he replied, smiling. He moved his position so he was next to her and wrapped his arms around her gently. He bgan humming a catchy little tune and rocked back and forth. He closed his eyes and looked into Geirsha's mind, seeing nothing but her and her brother. Making a smooth transition, he created an image of her walking through the gentle lapping waves on a beach at sunset with her brother following close behind.

Giersha didn't open her eyes though shock gripped her core. She lifted her hand in the mirage and her brother did the same. They touched hands and Giersha felt tears of joy flood from her eyes. Her brother smiled warmly. "It's okay to let go...." he soothed entwining his fingers with hers. Giersha nodded gripping his hand with hers never wanting to let go. He was the only family she had left how could she let go so easily. He placed his fingers back with hers and their hands were flat against one another. Her brother put his arms around his younger sister, stroking her hair with his palms, a saddened frown marking his face. Giersha buried her face into his gentle warmth, her hands on her chest as her ribs shook with tears. "It's okay to be afraid..." he spoke again, his voice echoing through the illusion pulling her away from his and placing his palms on her shoulders. "Just promise to come and visit me every once and awhile..." he said a small tears streaming from his right eye, though his voice didn't shake. Giersha placed her hands on her upper shoulders again, hugging herself for comfort, but she nodded. "I promise..." she whispered as his form began to walk into the sunlight and was gone in the blink of an eye. Giersha's eyes slid back opened slowly...Cillian's more powerful than I thought....most of all he can use that for torment...he's dangerous.... she thought not looking at him, but closing her eyes to savor the sweet dream....

Cillian's humming continued but eventually faded away. He opened his eyes, though he could't see anyway, and turned to Geirsha. He didn't say anything, but waited for her to say something first. He didn't want to spoil her happiness.

A smile crossed Giersha's mouth. She looked up again into his sightless eyes drawing up a hand to touch his face. She closed her eyes and let her fingers trace the area around his eyes, the muscles were tense and unhappy. She opened her eyes again and said nothing about his unhappiness but smiled and nuzzled closer into his gentle embrace. "Thank you...." she whispered, her soft voice echoing around them.

Lucan, hearing Lucreits's call, came gracefully bounding down the hallway, stopping right in front of her. He took a moment to regain his confidence. He sighed softly before speaking, answering the question he could see forming on her lips. "I know who you're going to ask about, and right now it's a bit of a touch subject for me." Looking down with anger hinting in his eyes, he took a deep breath and continued. "The truth is, Christabella has left. Why or what would make her do such a thing, I don't know. All that I do know is that she said she needed to 'see some friends for a while." He growled. Under his breath, yet loud enough for her to hear, he added. "Hmmph. Doesn't seem like very queenlike behavior."

Cillian smiled his genuine smile again and pulled Geirsha closer, raising a hand behind her back to stroke her hair. "Any time...." he replied, his voice soft. His hold was not tight and overbearing, but more gentle and protective. Loose enough she could break free when she wanted, but tight enough to let her know he was there.

She felt her muscles tense for a second, but then she found his embrace comforting...maybe, he wasn't dangerous, but misunderstood...She leaned up and kissed him swiftly on the cheek before slowly walking out of the room and sitting in the foyer.

Lucan looked at him. "Thats not all I wanted, to tell you the truth I need some help." She said, and watched as Lucan sat down beside her. "But you never know Christabella is strange, she may be trying to help us, you never no, she has been around and proble met some helpful people who could help us maybe? I don't know but maybe it's not a bad thing, you just have to look at both sides of the story." She said looking at him

Lucan looked over at Lucreita sadly. "But you don't understand... She just left. No warning signs, no reason. She just left me..." Trailing off, he remembered the rest of what she had said. "What do you need help with?" He said, looking again at the polished floor of their castle.

"Well I am almost done with the cleaning the wounds I missed some, so you can start the sewing where Cillian left off, I think he forgot some." She said. "But you know we don't have time, we are runnig out, maybe she is doing this for are good, maybe she is doing this because she cares about the coven, or maybe your right no one know but her. Like I said there are always two sides and you have to understand both before you take one. We don't know both so there for we can't choose a side " she evenly spoke.

"I should have seen it coming...." Lucan trailed off, looking out the window. Looking up at Lucreita, he recovered and calmly stood up. "No problem." He muttered. "Do you have the needle, or is it in the room?"

She looked around, and spotted the needle on the other side of the room. How did it get over there? She got up and moved to the other side of the room to grab it, and she placed it in Lucan's hand. "How could you have seen that coming?" She asked looking into his his eyes.

Lucan sighed, adverting his eyes from her intense gaze. "I don't know.." He said, making his hand into a fist so that the needle was safely there. "I don't know.." He repeated, even softer. A cold beam of moonlight stroked the floor and across the room, turning the atmosphere into an errie silver place. "It- Just seems like that as a vampire king, I should know these things... I should be able to tell... To be able to stop things like this from happening." He sadly said. "I guess not all decisions can be thought through. I'm just going to have to trust in Christabella and hope that her decision was right, whatever it may be."

"We all do, and I can feel it I think she is doing the right thing, it's not like her to leave for no reason." She put her hand on his shoulder. "And by the way, just cause your king does not mean you should put yourself down for this, you could not have known." She said her face still plain, and blank.

"But-" He resisted, before closing his eyes and letting the thought die on his lips. This way he wouldn't drive himself insane. Focusing on the past would not help him prepare for the future, and he knew that. "Never mind. You're right. I should be more focused on helping the coven then grouching over something that I can't change. I guess that all that there is left to do is wait, and hope for the best."
