It was the longest 3 minutes of Melek's and Kida's life. The bow in Melek's hand trembled, he felt his hands go numb towards the end of his song. This song, back home he played it all the time, it was committed to muscle memory. But right now as he played for his life, his muscles burned giving up. His arms felt heavy cradling his bass. He couldn't hear the rhythm of the song over his fast beating heart. Melek thought of Kira his new partner. He didn't dare to look at the other side of the stage where her body responded to the music he was making. It was her dance that saved him the last round. And he couldn't help but wonder if her dancing would work again. Melek came to the last measure, shutting his eyes trying to slow the song down hold out the last note, anything to delay the inevitable response from the crowd. It was them who decided if this were to be the pair's last song. At the corner of his eye Melek saw Kida's in her final pose. Her feet bore pointe shoes and she stood on her toes. By the look of her shoulder's heaving up and down she had exhausted herself. Melek felt tears welling his eyes. The audience gifted them with a thunderous applause and the pair sighed letting out a breath of relief, He picked up his bow and tucked it under his arm lifting his bass trying his best to exit the stage. He didn't notice how Kida stayed frozen refusing to make a move. A low hum held over the audience. Melek didn't realize it at first but they were chanting. "...Her." It sounded like. Melek faced Kida looking at her face tears streaming down her cheeks a blank expression masked her noticeable fear. The chanting grew louder. "Kill Her."

"Adira, how did you get in?" He started. Holding up a silver object she waved it about and placed it on a coffee table, he remembered the spare key that was hidden under the doormat. "Well I'm glad we were finally able to find you, Leyana has been going crazy trying to find you, we know you couldn't have gone far without turning back so we waited." Again he met silence, no words coming from her side of the room, her face looked tortured, her corneas were red with blood vessels irritated and the area around her eyes were damp and tired. She tried her best to appear everything except emotional but she failed miserably, when she looked him in the eyes he almost shivered from the ferocity held in the honeyed orbs. When she fell onto the couch he knew something was wrong. Crossing the space between them in a matter of seconds and kneeling in front of her he rested a hand on her quivering thigh. "Adira, what's wrong? Has something happened?" The far away look told him he was dealing with something that he had no idea how to, she couldn't focus on him, she didn't even meet his eyes. She simply looked forward and swallowed the bile of emotion rising in her throat. Cupping her cheeks in his hand he made her look at him, glassy eyes barely made their way to him until she snapped onto his vision, focused emotions intensified on the dark blue eyes that filled with concern. "What am I Kalmin?" A tortured whisper of a voice. ___ Adira Levrin was born Lord of the (Secret) Society of the Southern states of America.
