Before breakfast, I gathered the blanket from Vanya's bed, her favourite books and a torch. Putting them onto the emergency bed, I turned to Pogo. "Perhaps we'd be able to give her something to tell the time with? I know she'll want to know what's going on around her so she doesn't feel completely alienated. Guilt flashed across Pogo's face as he offered up his own watch. "Thankyou Pogo, for everything." Suprising him with a brief hug, I walked out to breakfast. Scoffing the food quickly, I waited impatiently for training.

"Five?" Ben asked meekly, causing me to turn around. "Where's Vanya?" 

"She's been 'quarantined' and I call bullshit" I replied with a snide look to our father, he nodded and walked back to Klaus to tell him. There was something going on, after watching and studying for a day I noticed Mom and Pogo kept dissapearing to the medical room.  I gathered them all in Vanya's room. We squashed in and I started to talk.

"Vanya's not ill, me and Vanya found father's notebook. She repressed her powers all her life because he thought she was dangerous. I think father has realised that she knows and has hidden her away. He said something about a sound proof chamber somewhere in the house. That's where she must be." I explained, scanning their faces.

"Are we going to find her?" Ben asked, 

"That's exactly what we're going to do." We were trying to work out our plan of action when I saw the ground shake slightly. "Vanya..." They stared at me in confusion. Dashing out of the room, I followed the vibrations. "Follow me!" I yelled behind me, "this is Vanya, her powers turn sound waves into vibrations of energy." We ran faster, dust was flying everywhere. Father, Mom and Pogo where all near the medical room. 

"I KNOW SHE'S HERE. WHERE IS SHE?" I yelled into his face. Pogo's eyes flitted to a bookcase. Pushing past them, I pulled all the books off the shelf until it opened. They all followed me, "VANYA, VANYA WHERE ARE YOU?" Ben shouted too:

"VANYA?" 

Running down the stone hallways, we came upon a large steel door. Luther turned the circular door lock. I fell down next to her and whispered in her ear while Luther pulled the debris off her. I agreed to Luther, and let him scoop her up. The rest of us followed with her belongings, picking up  her shopping back from the trip previous to her horrendous experience. I passed the stuff to Ben and Klaus as I entered into the emergency room. They stood at the door for a couple minutes before leaving to put her stuff away. I held her hand while they stitched up her leg and checked for a break. Luther respectfully waited  until they were done and then offered to carry Vanya up to her room. I accepted his offer and followed them closely, she was sleeping heavily. Klaus and Ben left the room as we walked up, 

"We put away her stuff the best we could and Allison gave her some clothes for her to change into when she's ready." Klaus said with a pityfull smile to Vanya's sleeping form. 

"Thank you, tell Allison thank you too" They nodded and headed towards Allison's room. Luther placed her down on the bed softly then left without a second look back. Mom came in with a smile, 

"Do you want me to change her clothes?" She asked, I replied by gesturing towards Allison's old summer clothes. A short-sleeved white shirt and black and white fabric shorts. Mom took the dusty clothes and put them in the wash, she patted me on the shoulder as she left.

"Well done Five" She smiled, grinning back I stumbled back into her room and kneeling beside her as she had once done for me and I the same before.

"I don't care" I proclaimed as I reached for her face and kissed her urgently. I wanted to make sure she wouldn't leave me again, it was as if she would fall apart if I were not holding her in my hands. She carressed the back of my kneck and kissed me back, mirroring my desperacy. Suddenly, she began to sob loudly. 

"Don't leave me alone"

"I won't" I promised, rocking her in my arms and soothing her as she cried. She soon fell asleep with her head rested in my kneck and her body laying in my lap.
