When Kate came to her head felt heavy on her shoulders, and she felt like she had been hit by a brick, a gasp mixed with a groan escaped her lips as her eyes looked around, confusion clouding them.

Feeling Lissa's presence near her Katherine all but jolted around in her seat, sighing in relief when her eyes landed on the pale blonde who sent an awkward smile while holding Oscar. She winced as her head began to throb, still not fully awake, and the quick action made her suddenly even more light headed.

Kate tried to reach for her head with her right hand only to find it restrained, handcuffed to the door, it made Kate raise a brow as she looked at it while rubbing her temples with her free left hand "Handcuffs? There's got to be a compliment in there somewhere." she muttered hearing movement behind her.

She turned her head to the side, to the Leader, to Dimitri, who was staring at the road and quiet.

"So you're taking us back to the academy. Tell me, how bad is it gonna be?" Kate inquired, her head turning to face the Leader, he too kept quiet at her question prompting the 17-year-old to inquire "Nothing? You know, I kept the princess safe and hidden for two entire years before you got lucky and I'm only a teen."

Her statement rang true and was indeed an accomplishment, especially when being a teen and having no special training, although the Guardians didn't know about the many times they ran into trouble pver the past nearly two years.

"Congratulations." Dimitri stated, sparing the brunette a glance, her skin had returned to the usual healthy, no sunbathing done, no make up, pale skin that was just like the Princess's. Now that she was awake, Dimitri could see the fierceness burning through Kate, he could see the same girl that he'd seen in the college housing campus, he could see the willingness to fight for freedom.
