Sebastian nodded, "Yeah... give them some space to schmooze." He sipped at his drink, "We should grab out seats before the place fills up." He headed into the theatre before realizing that the commercials were already ending, giving way to the previews. He frowned, "Where is Anna?"

Guardian Belikov checked his watch, "I gave her twenty minutes... It's only been about ten. The mall is a big place, she's probably still paying for her things."

Seb rubbed the back of his neck then nodded before letting Serena into the isle ahead of him and then he took a seat beside her and placed the popcorn where they could both reach. "I'll barely make a dent in a large, you Dhampirs have good appetites though so I figure you'd want a large... and if you don't finish it I'm sure Anna and Gunner will... Gluttons, the both of them."

It wasn't until after the previews ended and the opening of the movie began that he began to worry once more, he wanted to talk to Serena but Anna still gone had him distracted. He looked at Serena as he noticed Guardian Belikov check his watch for the third time in the past minute and then walk out of the theatre. "Something is wrong..."

Anna woke with her head pounding, she was pretty sure she was at least mildly concussed and she was definitely pissed. She'd allowed a Strigoi to sneak up on her while SHOPPING... really? She cursed, peeling her eyes open.

"Anna! You're awake!" The voice was so familiar her heart stumbled and every muscle in her body went tense.
