She had hoped this had all been a nightmare, and that the pinching of the skin she had inflicted upon herself would wake her up, but the loud sounds that had echoed from Lady Evaline's footsteps had snapped Serena back into reality and the tense heavy breathing had returned.

Lady Evaline had readied for a carriage for the both of them and had given Serena a spare cloak hence the one she had currently worn had been burnt. "There's someone who owes me a favour," Lady Evaline mentioned, "Charlotte Branwell, she will take you in."

Serena shook her head. "I---I do want to leave you," she whimpered, "I want to stay here!"

"My apartments in the Mortal Realm will not keep you safe!" Lady Evaline exclaimed and immediately, Serena pressed her lips into a thin line, hands clasped together Serena looked down at her feet. "You'll be safe in the London Institute."

Perhaps Lady Evaline had been right, mayhap she wasn't safe here, where they had been presently had been a mere apartment, barely had anything to protect the both of them, and before everything had happened, Lady Evaline had informed her family that she would sometimes take vacations to the Mortal Realm, thus, Serena had expected it to be more lavish than she had remembered the fashionable and creative differences Venus and Terra had.

"I don't know any of those people, so how would I be safe?" Serena questioned and as kickback, Lady Evaline turned to her.

Her expression stern but empathetic. "For your family, do this, protect yourself," Lady Evaline whispered and reticent, Serena fiddled with her fingers while Lady Evaline began to escort the young girl outside of her apartments and to the carriage that had waited for them.

The carriage ride had been silent, the two women had sat opposite of each other and Lady Evaline could see all the life and energy drained from the young girl, the night had been cold, typical of London and the two women had worn their dark cloaks, Lady Evaline had her hood pulled over her head and Serena had been too weak, precisely too drained to lift the material up.
