Verity threw her arms up, trying desperately to protect herself from him. The guard must have heard the commotion, because he ran in, trying to pull Vladan off of her."Verry?"Verity glanced over. Justice was standing in the doorway, a fearful look on his face as he watched the struggle."Justice!" She yelled. "Get back into the hallway."
bunnyshadow • 21 March 2017 at 2:55 PM
@dada_dragon~~~"Shhh..." Vladan shushed her, mumbling quietly under his breath, overlooking her yelling like it was nothing. He spared a glance at the soldier in the doorway, then the little boy who had darted in.Verity's little brother.He turned back to catch her gaze, reaching up with a strong arm to force her to look him in the eye. "How does it feel?" Vladan asked quickly. "Knowing that I have the ability to make you do anything I want." The soldier was edging closer, weapon raised in preparation to shoot."The same thing you've been doing to everybody here. To Kita. To innocents." He growled now, eyes flashing angrily. "But you know what I'm going to do that you never ever did?" Vladan released her."Show mercy."The soldier took this opening to shock Vladan with a taser. He winced as the shock went through his system. Then he flinched. There was no pain, just the same electrical pulse he had gotten used to. Vladan had been pulled back by the soldier, a dozen feet away from Verity."I will remember your name Verity." He said bitterly. "Your brother Justice as well." Vladan smiled now. "Enjoy what little freedom you can get before I snatch it away from you."---"Let's go James." Willow said, grabbing James by the wrist and tugging him towards the door. "We need to talk."
dada_dragon • 21 March 2017 at 8:40 PM
Verity stepped back shakily, Justice running to her side, hiding behind her."Vladan... if I could have... I would never have done that to her... and I hate myself for what I did..." she said slowly, still catching her breath. "But it was never just my life on the line... Surely even you have someone that you would do anything it took to protect..."Vladan was now being restrained by the guard, so she stepped forward, hesitantly placing her fingers on his temple. He had resisted her powers before, but it was worth a try..."Please... tell me how I can contact him... I need to make things right... or at least do what I can to fix my mistakes..."

@dada_dragon ~~~The calm that splashed over him felt like water. Similar to an ocean's waves flowing forwards over sand and back to the sea, the tranquility from Verity's power washed his anger away.But only for a moment.She had asked him a question, and he wracked his brain for an answer. Vladan relaxed in the guard's grip, and he tilted his stormy eyes upwards towards Verity."I don't know." And that was the honest answer. He didn't know where James was, where Willow or Dawn, or even Coco and Teiv. Vladan barely even knew where he was. He was lost and broken, and sad, and disappointed and upset, and he all but wanted to die.Vladan blinked, and the spell broke when he wrenched himself away from the guard's loosened grip. He stumbled back, using the bedside table to regain his balance as he tore himself from Verity's power.Anger flared through his body at Verity's actions. How could she? How could she force her power on him like that? Kicking a dog that was already down... Taking advantage of someone that was already being held back.For that, she would pay.And Vladan knew how to make people pay.He knew how to hit people, and he knew how to hit people where it hurt.Vladan forced his face to return to it's usually emotionless mask, and he straightened up as he focused his gaze on Verity. Then, he moved it to the little boy grasping tightly at her legs."Find Adara." Vladan said blandly, eyes focused intently on Justice. "Although..." For a second, he paused. "She'll probably find you first." He glanced at the soldier standing on edge, ready to dart forward and intervene should Vladan make any sudden movements. The man smiled now, lips tilting upwards into a shark-like snarl."She's already waiting for your arrival."The words left his mouth thinly, but his face gave nothing away. They were words filled with untold implications, and played down threats.But they were there.---Willow stopped outside the door, placing her hands on James's shoulders in an attempt to calm him. "We'll get her out." She said, though she wasn't even convinced herself that they could."Andy too." Willow added. "That video can't be for real..." She trailed off, releasing James as she paced backwards. "They have many healers within grasp, I'm sure one of them got to him before anything permanent happened.""Come on..." She said, motioning down the hall. "Let's busy ourselves preparing for tonight. Keep our minds off things we can't yet change." ---A small room, and a conversation. There was Vladan. A Soldier. A woman. A child.Voices, fighting, then a short struggle. The woman, Verity, hesitantly stepping up to Vladan. Vladan, pulling back and speaking. The child, afraid. The soldier, uncertain."Find Adara. Although...she'll probably find you first. She's already waiting for your arrival."Adara leaned back against the towering walls of Vladan's abandoned mansion. She opened her eyes, the vision fading from her beautiful pupils. They were blue and green, splashed with pink and lavender, yet still had enough room for speckles of lavender and gold.Her eyes were every color of the rainbow.Something soft rubbed against her legs, and she gave Odilia several gentle rubs behind the ear. There was a satisfied purr, then the large animal stalked off to do it's usual activities."Looks like I've got somewhere to go." She said, glancing over to the majestic beast lounging around in the front yard. Adara stepped forward, heading down the stone walkway towards the front gate."It's only a matter of time before Vladan gets home." Odilia perked up now, ears straight, tail flicking at the sound of her master's name. A name she had not heard in ages. Adara slipped through the gate, a knowing grin spreading across her face."I can see it."
dada_dragon • 22 March 2017 at 1:27 PM
"Are we in trouble, Verry?"Verity had been staring out the window of the vehicle when Justice tapped her on the shoulder. She smiled, trying to reassure him."No, buddy. We're going to meeting really quick and then we'll go home."Justice nodded, tapping his fingers on his lap impatiently.She wished she'd known about the meeting that they would be having with the people who had arranged for the law to be changed... She might have insisted that Justice wear nicer clothes...Apparently, there would be a lot of people at this thing. The "ambassadors", the president, a hundred or so of the people freed from facilities in the area, and no doubt the press would be there...But her mind was elsewhere. Vladan's words haunted her. She had no idea what he had meant, but it gave her an uneasy feeling...
bunnyshadow • 22 March 2017 at 2:42 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~Adara took her seat in the front. A large table adorned the center of the stage, and a shorter, platformed area separated the middle of the room from the back. Chairs were placed neatly throughout the spacious room, and the entrance was roped off as a means to keep the reporters from getting too close to any Enabled, or humans for that matter. There didn't seem to be any assigned seats from politicians versus Enabled, which Adara assumed was a way to let it sink in that they were one and the same again. She closed her multicolored eyes, and the darkness morphed into color as a vision entered her mind. That woman again, Verity. Speaking gently to Justice. A vehicle rolling to a stop.Adara opened her eyes. She was near already. Many others had begun to arrive, and the room consisted of a dull chatter. There was a hesitant air to the room, mixed with fear, repulsion and joy.Turning to face the entrance guarded heavily by suited men, she waited for the woman and her little brother to enter.---Willow smoothed down her black dress as she swiped back the curtains and entered the room. Her and James had arrived with the other ambassadors(considering how they were all coming from the same place), and she took her seat at the end of the table. The woman shot a glance at James, giving him a forced smile as the others took their seats.---"I missed you, Vlad."Vladan sat up with a start, turning to the opened door. Shock echoed on his face, and he gave Dawn a puzzled look."W-what?" He stuttered momentarily, then cleared his throat. "What are you doing here?" Vladan said, this time with the confident air he supposed she knew him for."Did you hear?""Yes." He admitted stiffly. "I'm to stay here." Vladan watched as Dawn moved over and sat on the edge of the bed."I pulled some strings, and since the law has been repealed, the guards supposed it was fine that I stopped by to see you. Just said something about how if I died, they weren't accountable." She laughed now, tucking her feet up on the bed as she took out her phone.Vladan could see through her forced happiness, but ignored it as she opened a live stream. "What's that?" He asked."Your friends Willow and James are ambassadors at the super important meeting to speak about why and how the law got repealed."Vladan winced at the sound of James's name. A name he had grown to despise once again. "I see." He said blankly as he stared down at the screen. The man spotted the camera panning across the stage, and she spotted Willow rubbing her arm awkwardly at her seat. Then his face hardened at the sight of James. For a moment, the camera zoomed out, and he spotted Adara. "A lot of people I know are there." He said pointedly."Yeah." Dawn agreed, sensing Vladan's bitterness."Willow pulled through.""Willow and James.""Right."
dada_dragon • 22 March 2017 at 8:57 PM
Verity stepped through the doors with Justice, looking out over the crowd. There were a lot of people here..."Justice, stay close." she said, looking for somewhere to sit.
bunnyshadow • 22 March 2017 at 9:14 PM
@dada_dragon~~~Adara's irridescent eyes followed Verity through the room. She tilted her head to the side, staring intently at the side of the woman's face. Adara cleared her throat, twisting the silver ring around her finger. The other woman neared. "Verity." She said thinly over the din. "There's space here." A slight pause, then a small motion at the empty chairs."You can call me Adara."---"Just pull through." Willow said in an attempt to be comforting. Before she had a chance to continue, the sound of a microphone flicking on entered her ears. Even the reporters' neverending questions slowed to a stop as the assembly began."Greetings." There was silence as a man took the podium. "We are here today to discuss the annulment of our Enabled law.""You can do it." Willow whispered to James as the man continued his speech.
dada_dragon • 23 March 2017 at 1:42 AM
Verity stopped, staring at the woman. Her unusual appearance heavily implied that she was enabled, and something about her set Verity I'll at ease, but maybe that was because of how Vladan had spoken of her back at the facility in that threatening tone of his...She sat down reluctantly, and Justice sat next to her, too distracted by everything going on around him to notice Verity's unease.
bunnyshadow • 24 March 2017 at 11:31 AM
@dada_dragon ~~~"He's coming." Adara whispered to Verity.She rested her eyes gently as the political figure continued his speech. He was speaking what he had already practiced two dozen times in the past week--she had already seen it. Adara had seen the future, and that was why she was here. This meeting could be the beginning of something new, something absolutely gruesome. The familiar darkness of her eyelids faded away to something more gradient.Thinly trimmed grass. Towering pine trees. Cars parked neatly on the side of the roads. A brilliant blue sky, filled with cotton candy clouds.A figure slinking through the dawn.He was dressed in plainclothes, almost as if trying to blend in with the crowds of reporters waiting impatiently past the ruby red ropes. She could barely make him out through the crowd of journalists, and spotted him as he slipped out from the bodies.The man headed around the building. He knew where he was going and exactly what he was doing, as he had spent the past three days examining and reexamining the building again and again. Stopping behind a tree, she watched as he pulled up his hood and began scaling the trunk and the branches. Once near the top, he jumped onto the decorative balcony.Adara opened her eyes now, her colorful orbs glancing up towards the ceiling. She saw the large window, and a flash of black proved to her that yes, the man was hiding behind the glass on that balcony. There was a glint, and the window was silently slid open.Vladan had told her to keep an watchful eye, and that was exactly what she had done. This meeting was a ticking time bomb, and if it didn't go perfectly to plan, the timid new alliance between humans and enabled could go up in flames."Do what you can to make sure it goes smoothly. James and Willow should take care of you should anything go wrong."Adara stood quickly now, her chair tilting over and hitting the ground noisily. Swiftly, she darted forwards, hopping the first ledge and onto the stage. There was a loud crack, and the silver-haired woman found herself shoving the man from his podium.Pain.She let out a sharp cry, and her face scrunched up heavily as whatever hit her struck her in her side. There was shouting, and the room broke out in a noisy clamor as people panicked. The figures at the table stood quickly, and bodyguards began ushering them towards the back.Adara glanced up at the window, and saw a flash of black. He was retreating. Both human and enabled were on edge, unsure what to do as they impatiently and confusedly wandered the room.There was chaos.Exactly what the assassin had wanted.
dada_dragon • 24 March 2017 at 12:09 PM
Verity jumped to her feet, looking over at Justice, who had a look of panic on his face."Jus, I want you to go hide in that bathroom until I come get you." She said, pointing at the nearby washrooms. She was fine risking her life going up on that stage, but Justice was not going to get hurt on her account...He nodded and ran towards the bathroom, and Verity jumped up on the stage.
bunnyshadow • 24 March 2017 at 12:22 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~Adara grimaced. The feeling was strange and unwanted, but yet she welcomed it. She took a moment to recover, before sitting up on the floor. Her iridescent eyes travelled from James to Verity to the blonde woman slowly approaching.What a beautiful masterpiece.Vladan had set everything up perfectly. He was nothing less of the mastermind that he had always made himself out to be. The simple orders to make sure the meeting went smoothly, to finding Verity and stopping any lasting damages. And those orders set up the pieces for checkmate, as James becomes face to face with the woman that tore Kita up from inside to out.A grandiose chef-d'œu·vre.A heart-wrenching encounter.An exquisite beginning to his ultimate release.---"We've heard about you." Willow said to Verity. "And not good things." She added, reaching out to help the silver-haired woman to her feet."Are you okay?" The blonde asked.---"I'm fine." Adara said with an odd smile. "You better start herding everyone back here to finish the meeting." She brushed herself off, tugging at the cloth of her dress to examine the ripped material."He's not going to come back."---"How do you know?" Willow asked hesitantly. "I doubt we will be able to finish the meeting after what just happened...""He's long gone." The other woman replied. "Halfway out of the city, and he's not coming back. Not finishing this assembly today, risks giving him, or somebody else--another chance to kill."
dada_dragon • 24 March 2017 at 12:49 PM
James looked at the woman... this monster that had turned Kita into an empty shell that had even been willing to murder one of her longest friends...Somehow he had expected her to be more... sinister... he had imagined an enabled with an evil look in their eye as they tore Kita's humanity from her... but she seemed almost... timid.
bunnyshadow • 24 March 2017 at 1:01 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~"She did it you know." Adara said, a smirk gracing her features. A thin brow arched at her words, and her pale pink lips pursed together in a thoughtful grin. "Vladan told her what she was doing multiple times, and she still did it." The woman pinched the ripped material together, pulling a pin from her hair to clip it together."She did it to him, too."---People began filing back to their seats, a short murmur overcoming the room as they discussed the recent events. It took some convincing, but Willow managed to get everybody back at the table to continue the assembly.It was going to be a long meeting.
dada_dragon • 24 March 2017 at 1:31 PM
Verity sat with Justice, who seemed apprehensive after what had happened. She wasn't next to Adara anymore... the woman made her uncomfortable, but that was the least of her worries right now... she dreaded the conversation she was going to have with James after all this...She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and pulled it out as discreetly as she could.<I'm on my way to pick him up. Are you sure you don't want to come home? Your father and I haven't seen you in months.>Verity sighed, typing a response.<I'm sorry, mom... I have some stuff I need to do before I can come home... there are some loose ends after this law was changed and I just want to clear them up so that I won't have to worry about them later... then I'll come home, I promise.>
bunnyshadow • 24 March 2017 at 2:22 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~"What has just happened today only solidifies our official decision to have the Enabled separation and detainment permanent repealed. Due to the heroic acts of one Enabled woman, my life has been spared. Along with the help of Doctors Willow and James, she has made a speedy recovery and remains in the audience." The man at the podium paused, then bowed his head. "I would like to thank everybody for appearing today. The press, those that have had to deal with being put to prison in government facilities, and those that have been wrongfully taken from their families."With that, the man took his seat. Everybody at the table stood, and the room clamored as reporters struggled to be the first to interview anybody they could get their hands on.Willow leaned in towards James, speaking softly. "Let's head out of here before the journalists pin us down." She glanced over the audience. The blonde made eye contact with Verity, motioning with her head towards the back.---Adara continued twisting the ring around her finger, remaining seated even as everybody else stood. Her job here was nearly done, if not already so.All she had to do was wait, and watch as everything fell into place. ---Vladan shut the screen, handing the phone towards Dawn. He glanced over to catch her blue-eyed gaze, and an amused smile crossed his face at her questioning expression."You set it up, didn't you?" She asked.He laughed now, tugging at the collar clasped tightly around his neck. "Perhaps..." The man trailed off, watching as Dawn stood up. "His anger will fester into hatred, and that hatred will assist in my revenge and my release."The door clicked open, and Dawn stepped out. It closed behind her back, but not before she heard his last, parting words."Verity will pay for what she'd done to Kita. Not through herself, but through Justice." A slight pause. "No one destroys what belongs to me." A thoughtful hum coming from the back of his throat. "Kita is mine.""Mine to toy with, mine to speak with, and mine to tear apart and put back together again."
dada_dragon • 24 March 2017 at 3:03 PM
Verity nodded, noticing her mother approaching in the crowd."Justice, I need to go now. Mom is going to take you home."He looked up at her, confused."Aren't you coming too?" He asked."I will soon... I just need to do something..." she said. "I'll call you later."He nodded and ran over to their mother, who gave Verity a small wave. Verity gave her a reassuring smile and went to follow James and Willow.
bunnyshadow • 24 March 2017 at 3:54 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~"How do we get her out, though?" Willow asked. "You realize that if you're at fault for her attitude and aggression, that you're also the reason why she is 'deemed too dangerous to be released'."
dada_dragon • 24 March 2017 at 4:43 PM
"I- I don't know..." she said. "All I know is that they're now permitting visits for all remaining prisoners... You can see her..."James frowned and she looked down."Look... they're mistreated... badly... Some of the guards are sympathetic, but the man in charge... He's cruel..." she said. "Maybe if you could prove wrongdoing, they could move them somewhere less... you know..."@bunnyshadow
bunnyshadow • 25 March 2017 at 3:12 AM
@dada_dragon ~~~Adara waited patiently for the car to arrive. She could feel the tall, masked man's warmth from besides her, and though he was warm, she shivered violently in the freezing dusk winds. "They're almost here." Adara whispered to him. There was silence from the man, and instead he moved his head to face the street.Two figures, one dark and tall and masked. The other, silver haired, and beautiful and elegant."Here they come." Adara said. The leaves fluttering on the branches shook heavily in the branches overhead, and several of them blew off from the harsh winds.Teiv glanced over to the car. "Who are we looking for?" He asked with his crooked voice."Justice.""What for?""Vladan's revenge.""And the mother?""We speak to her first."---"Getting them moved isn't the same as getting them released." Willow said thinly. She tugged irritatedly at the ends of her hair."How do we get them OUT."
dada_dragon • 25 March 2017 at 9:26 AM
"I- I mean if you prove that some turned violent while at the facility, those could be taken to a rehabilitation facility..." she said, nervously. "When they're satisfied that they aren't a danger to society, they would likely release them."James' expression didn't change, and she was uncertain of what he was thinking."The trouble would be proving it... they don't allow cameras..."@bunnyshadow
bunnyshadow • 29 March 2017 at 2:33 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~"We have the twins." Willow suggested. "Maybe with some teamwork, we could have the twins and somebody else sneak in." She paused momentarily. "Their security may be even heavier, especially since visits are permitted."
dada_dragon • 29 March 2017 at 2:57 PM
Verity nodded."And it might be helpful to have you and James visit her while they're doing it." She said. "Knowing Lee, he will keep an eye on you two, which might make it easier for them to... investigate."James remained silent, which made her uneasy. She had no way of knowing what he was thinking...
bunnyshadow • 29 March 2017 at 9:08 PM
@dada_dragon ~~~"Let's head over tomorrow." Willow said. "The quicker we get started, the faster we can finally get them proven innocent and taken out."---Greg rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "An offer I simply can't refuse." He said with a tight-lipped grin. "Allow me to take her out tomorrow for a quick test of... skill."
dada_dragon • 29 March 2017 at 11:36 PM
~~~~~~~~James stared straight ahead as he drove to the facility. They had stayed the night at the apartment, now safe since the law change. He didn't admit to Willow that it was because he couldn't face Coco and Sparks after the video of Andy's death had surfaced.It was a lot to process, and he knew he was handling things poorly. He was absolutely terrified of facing Kita, and the idea of getting any help from Verity was repulsive to him.He knew he was being unfair. He would have done the same to protect Kita, but he couldn't separate his anger of what had happened to Kita from the one who, however unwillingly, had driven her to the edge.Verity was in a hotel near their apartment. He could hardly stand being near her without wanting to tear her apart; he certainly wasn't about to let her stay in the same building...Willow had come along, likely half because of Verity's plan and half because she didn't trust him to keep his cool, he suspected.
bunnyshadow • 10 April 2017 at 11:51 AM
@dada_dragon ~~~"Quite entertaining how things have changed, isn't it?" Greg leaned forwards a bit in his desk chair, before relaxing back into the comfort of the black leather seat. "How once you had me under knife point, and now you're nothing but a collared dog to be sent to take out the trash."His taunts subsided as he spared a distracted glance towards the wall. "Another number in the ranks." Mind racing, he paused, before continuing to speak."Let's play a game." Greg pulled out a box of cigarettes, fiddling with the container as he gave his orders. "There's an Enabled woman by the name of Adara." The stench of tobacco smoke filled the air.He put the lighter down, inhaling, then exhaling. Smoke trailed out of his mouth, congregating at the ceiling of the room. "I want you to take her to me. Dead or alive."---An moving car. James driving. Willow sitting in the passengers seat. Just them two--nobody else. Tension filling the air that even Adara could see.She blinked, rolling over in the bed. For a second she rested. Then she sat up.Kita, restrained in the back of a vehicle. Two guards besides her, sitting next to tinted windows. Lee, the source of all their troubles, speaking to a monitor. On it, a familiar figure.Adara stood, heading out of the room. The woman meandered down the hall, half of her mind concentrating on moving, the other, focusing on her power.Greg in a large white room by himself. Smoke filling the air. His words were muffled, then cleared when Adara paused to turned her attention fully on this vision. The man's words were filled with ice, cutting sharply through the air as he finished speaking.She began moving forwards again, letting her apparitions fade away as she journeyed down the steps of Vladan's large spiraling staircase. It was ironic, really. How things never went according to plan for anybody around. Right place, wrong time.Wrong place, right time.Not one without the other. Adara slumped down on the couch, relaxing into the soft cushions. She flipped over on her side, smiling lightly to herself as she awaited Kita's arrival.And then, would the real game begin. She closed her eyes, allowing the darkness to manifest into a hotel. Then a room. Then a woman.A woman named Verity.---"I wonder, really." Vladan said absentmindedly to Dawn. The blonde had come by early--the facility's visiting hours had begun but less than 30 minutes ago."About what?" She asked, looking forward to the answer."About what would happen if Kita saw Verity again." He paused, sparing the other woman a sideways glance. "Tch." Dawn said, rolling her brilliant blue eyes. "Willow and James are on the way, in case you don't know."Vladan arched a brow. "What for?""Kita, I suppose."He pursed his lips, tugging at his plain shirt thoughtfully. "It's a shame she won't be here."
dada_dragon • 10 April 2017 at 2:48 PM
Kita showed no reaction to Greg's taunts, maintaining a somewhat vacant expression."What is her ability?" She asked, her voice a dull echo of its former self. "And how can I find her?"
bunnyshadow • 1 May 2017 at 10:26 PM
@dada_dragon~~~"True sight."The man leaned forward arms uncrossing as he took another long drag from his cigarette. "Though I do have no way of knowing where she is currently...." He trailed off, giving the screen a sideways smirk that resembled the one that Vladan probably gave often. "I do know that she spends her time around his residence to pass her time." The older man put out the cigarette in the glass ash tray on the corner of his desk. "Adara is more likely to find you before you can find her." He chuckled."Those aren't my words, but those of someone you should know very well." Greg said with an arched brow.---Adara had managed through the hotel halls without so much as a second glance. The maids and hotel workers avoided her rather than confronted her on what she was doing, as it tended to be wise that regular humans left Enabled folks alone. The woman pushed back her silver hair, her colorful eyes shimmering as she knocked harshly on Verity's room."It's Adara." She called out, ignoring the shifty glance of a patron hurrying his way down the hall. "I'm here to help you, Verity."
dada_dragon • 2 May 2017 at 2:28 AM
Verity rushed to the door. Opening it, she saw Adara. She had not expected to see her at all..."Uh... hi..." she said. "Come on in..."She stepped aside, gesturing at the couch."What are you doing here?"
bunnyshadow • 3 May 2017 at 11:54 PM
@dada_dragon~~~"Let's sit down and have a chat." Adara suggested, entering through the doorway with renewed vigor. "There's quite a few things that you aren't aware of yet, Verity." The woman ventured over to the coffee table, pulling out a chair and taking a quick seat. She tapped her fingers against the table, her nails clicking noisily against the smooth wood surface. Adara paused, giving Verity a serious expression."About James. Kita. Willow." She hesitated for effect, stalling for time.---"The Blossom Motel." Greg said blandly. "Fourth floor. Room 428. She's meeting with a new friend. How about you pay them both a nice little visit?"---A guard led James and Willow down the halls of the facility. The clean walls contrasted greatly against the horror that resided behind the closed, barred and locked doors. Occasionally, the sound of frustrated cries and angry yells resounded from within. The man stopped in front of Vladan's room, one placed significantly further away from the others, and obviously more clean and livable than the others.He knocked on the door, pushed a key through a lock, and punched in a key code."You have visitors, Veitkov."---Dawn stood up, the sound of knocking disturbing her from her thoughts. She raised her brow, turning towards the entrance to spot James and Willow. "I was just leaving." The blonde said, before sidestepping the tiny congregation at the entrance and heading down the hall.---"Hello James." Vladan said blankly. "Hello Willow." He greeted the two of them with a short nod, moving his intense gaze from Willow's retreading back to the duo standing by the entrance. "How have you two been?" He asked.The steel door clanged shut behind the guard's back.
