She gently kissed her brother's head as he laid still on top their bed.She surrounded him with mint herb and made a mixture of Cinnamon and Honey, To aid with his condition, One of the few good things that woman had thought her growing up.She fidgeted and sighed, she alternated between checking his temperature, squeezing his hand and adjusting his blanket, anything to keep Her baby brother comfortable.She hated seeing him like this, So helpless and weak, It reminded her of how vulnerable he was truly, 'what were you thinking Cas!?' She wanted to scream at him, to punch him, to slap him, She wanted to cry, to break down, to crumble under it all....She hadn't slept a wink in almost 2 days, Half after seeing her brother in such a deplorable state and Half because of Renga's gift, She absently stroked the little red book, what would she see in her dreams if she did? Would she see that woman again?"He'll be fine, stop torturing yourself Cecelia," A voice said, Cece cringed, She had to

No sooner had they entered the study had the hostility been laid bare.Gastard sat in his black skull shaped chair, His eyes were as cold as the chair he sat on, His jaw clenched and a vein visibly popping from his temple, His butler, The lizard man Arthur was standing behind him, The reptile seemed disinterested and stared off into space.Josephine was sitting next to him, She had a glass of wine in hand, She gave a sad smile when her eyes met the twins, Cas nodded in response while Cece gave her a tight smile in return.'Bitch!' Cece thought, as though reading her mind, The smile died away instantly from Josephine's face.Cece took notice of the other parties present, Father Corbin, Cassandra and some soldiers who fought during siege, Some Lavishly dressed folks were there as well, Cece figured they were Nobles or Something along those lines.Their expressions varied from Awe to Wariness to Disgust, Cece figured either because of their identity as Necromancers or how 'Bland' Their a

'Run Cece Run!' She screamed in her mind, She tried grabbing her brother's shoulder and taking him with her, Perhaps if they started now they'll-Her arm was still at her side, Her legs still stationary and worst of all, There were wrinkles creeping up her face.'I'm..... smiling why?' She couldn't comprehend it, Every fibre of her being was telling her this person, This Thatch was dangerous, his smile, His presence, even his eyes felt wrong, They were wrong!'So get your brother and Run!' She did nothing."A pleasure to meet you Sir!" Cas bowed, Cece followed suit and curtsied, The action shook her deeply, She'd never curtsied to anyone in her entire life, much less someone she feared on an instinctual level.She swallowed, "Mr Thatch, are you the supervisor of this facility?" Cece tried gauging his reaction, Perhaps her fears are simply unfounded, Misplaced, Perhaps-"Oh no! I'm no such thing.... merely a Visitor, I heard how lovely this establishment was, Famous for it's Cafeteria,

"Terry! Move it a little to the right.... no! My right, Godamnit! Angelo's Right! Yeah! Yeah! You're doing it now... drop it!" Cas ordered.Terry The Multi winged Mammoth dropped the box of supplies at the edge of Tower 4, before giving a snort of satisfaction."Thanks Big guy, But we're not done here, Tower 7 needs more bodies, Meghan, Mikey, You two go!" he hollered at the pair of Yetis, The two gingerly made their way towards Terry before all 3 set off.Cas sighed and turned his attention towards Monitor 6, The recreation room, It was in shambles, The initial crew had seemed it low priority due to numerous labs, Cafeteria and Restrooms that needed to be renovated or Added unto the facility.'Nearly four months of work ruined by that bastard!' Cas grimaced, the face of the Smiling Golden man popped into his head, He banished the Evil entity from his thoughts with a shake of his head. He then turned his attention towards Monitor 5 and 2, The ones showing the edge of the Complex.The

'Gone out, Needed to clear my head.... we'll talk.... really talk when I get back, Love, Cece.'Cas sighed as he finished reading the note, His Shift finally over from manning the comms.He jumped on his bed and closed his eyes, trying desperately to ease himself to sleep.... but whenever he closed his eyes, all he heard was laughter.The Golden man with rubies for eyes Toyed with Cas, Toyed with Cece, Toyed with everyone within this base.Yet what bothered him most of all.... was the look Cece gave Zebediah.... "Who am I kidding? I want revenge on the bastard too! but..." He stared at his stump, "But first things first.... we need to do something about this...."He thought of getting a bionical arm.... but immediately banished the thought, 'Metal arms.... too much on maintenance, I could learn over time but I just... don't.... want to!' He thought of grafting another arm? Perhaps before his brain forget how his left arm worked? '.... but I doubt Zebediah was kind enough to spare th
