It has been 12 hours but Charlie and Ryle have not shown up yet. Good thing, Naya's awake.
(Charles joins Lloyd and Rayt at the Table while Naya's cooking.)
Rayt: Have you contact Charlie?
Charles: No. And I won't dare. She'll kill me if I do that. Anyway, I would feel if something bad happen to her. (He shows his parabatai scar in his chest to them.) We are bonded you know.
Naya: Boys, don't worry. Charlie's strong. (She puts food on the table and sit beside Rayt)
Lloyd: We can't help it, Naya. She's been protecting us, since Charles and she, rescued us. And we can't protect her this time.
Charles: We promised your angel parents to keep you safe, not the other way around.
Lloyd: Are you not worried about Charlie? Your sister? (Lloyd gave emphasis when he said 'sister)
Charles: What are you trying to say? ( Charles raised his voice)
Naya butts in to avoid confrontation between Charles and Lloyd, which always happen between the four boys.
Naya: Of course, Charles is worried, Lloyd. But the situation right now, we should not worry much about her. We should trust her plan.
Charles' attention was caught when Naya mention 'plan'. He eyed Naya suspiciously and asked her.
Charles: What do you know of Charlie's plan, Naya?
Naya: Uhmmm….Oh! I forgot I have something to do. Got to go, boys. (Naya was about to get up from her seat and scutter away but Rayt caught her hand)
Rayt: You're not going anywhere, Naya. Tell us what you know please. Maybe we could help. Don't you trust us?
Naya sits back.
Naya: By the angels! Fine. I'm going to tell you. Gosh! Charlie's going to kill me…uhmmmm…I think Charlie's going to ally with the lesser evil…
Rayt, Lloyd & Charles: Lesser evil???!!!
Naya: ( Naya got shocked but totally got the point why the boys reacted that way) Oh, sorry. I mean she plans to side with the Nephilims and eventually Underworlders.
Charles: Is she crazy?! They'll imprison her. That's it Naya. I'm going to the half-breed's institute. (Charles headed to the door.)
Naya: Charles! Stop! Don't you trust your sister? Your parabatai? This is why exactly she keep her plan from you. (Charles hesitated to get out anymore and stood quietly.)
Lloyd: Does Ryle know about this?
Naya: Maybe by now, yes. But before the incident, Charlie asked him to keep an eye on the half-breeds. Because of that mission, Ryle, established an understanding with the city's vampire clan leader, Selena.
Rayt: What about you? What's your mission?
Naya: uhmmm…(she's hesitant to tell)
Charles: (Charles faces everybody) She aids Charlie with knowledge about runes and everything about Nephilim, am I right Naya?
Naya: I'm sorry, Charles. Charlie made me do it. You know I can't say no to her.
Lloyd: What exactly did you do, Naya?
Naya: First, I made a potion out of Naya's blood that can make her invisible. I helped her portal in and out of the greatest fortress of the Nephilim's. Citadel, Institute, Idris, Silent City and Centaurion's School of Scholomance.
Rayt: That's dangerous! Do you know what will happen to you of you got caught?!
Naya: Yes. But on the bright side, that's how Charlie managed to create a rune. We now know everything about Nephilim, their laws, their ways, their places. Charles, you know you're nothing but just banished angels. You only have your immortality, mind power and endurance. Charlie, wants to stand and fight one day. She's tired of running away, of hiding. She wants to give us freedom.
(The front door exploded and demons came in) (Four crawled on the floor)
Lloyd: I thought you said this is the safest place? (He's glaring at Charles who's crouching beside him)
(Charles was confused)
Charles: As far as I know, it is. I mean it was. Besides nobody knows this place except me, charlie and...(Charles checked the intruders coming in and he caught a glimpse of Niña, who is unharmed but has glaring eyes)
(Rayt suddenly dragged them both to the other room where Naya created a portal)
Rayt: Stop fighting, for now. Let's go.
Three of them run towards Naya's portal. Naya threw a curse , that made the demons following them turn into ashes, before entering and sealing off the portal.
