Penny hadn't yet left the city, so when her Lacrima 'buzz' she was able to respond. She took of into the air, and was at Pheonix wing in minutes. She studying the building for a moment, at the roof that was being dismantled by builders and their Magic, before landing straight through the roof. She crouched, absorbing the impact just in time to hear

"Which one of you wants to die first?"

She rose and said [color=f7976a]"I guess that would be me"[/color] she looked over her should at Master Jamie, and smiled[color=f7976a]"if you don't mind, Master. I'll take the trash out. I suggest you take the little one and check there's no more trash to take out"[/color] she turned back to this woman, and made a hmmm sound. [color=f7976a]"you know, I have never used this magic before. I suppose it works just as well on people as it does phoenix's"[/color]

Her flames engulfed her in a more define sense, taking on the shape of a Phoenix in a way that she had never done before-or at least while she was with Phoenix Wing. [color=f7976a]"flames of the Phoenix"[/color] firey whips formed, and Penny gripped them, the flames dancing, as she twisted her hands, both whips moving around smoothly like snakes teisting around the woman. 

[color=f7976a]"song of the Phoenix: Nox"[/color] music would fill the air, but it was only directed at the woman. Others would just hear beautiful music, while Penny hoped the woman would...sleep.

Jarvis didn't even hesitate, darting upstairs he snatched the locket up along the way. Why hadn't he thought to protect her? Because he didn't know there were people wanting her. People like that. The magic council would want her, but they wouldn't hurt her.

As he ran, he activated several Lacrima, virtually locking down the place so that no one could come in that didn't have the guilds mark, as well as those in the city warming up, ready for a signal. 

[color=aba000]"Amelia!"[/color] he crashed against the door before finding the knob and opening it

Master Jamie nodded, and knelt, scooping up Elsye into her arms, looking to Ayame [color=f26522]"come child. It isn't safe"[/color] he said softly, holding out a hand to Ayame and waiting for her to take it, glancing over her shoulder as Penny fought.

[center][b]Sasha[/b][/center]

[color=6ecff6]"didn't love you? How can you be so foolish?"[/color] the anger in Sasha's voice rose a few levels, and her fists clenched. She knew that she was probably making a scene, but she didn't care. [color=6ecff6]"can you not imagine how hard it would have been for her? Alreadyd leaving one child, to then leave another? She would have had to have a damn good reason to do it, and she only would have done it out of the greatest love. So don't stand there and say she didn't love you. Don't you dare"[/color].

But now, Sasha's voice break, and emotion other than anger filled it. Her mother hadn't loved her or Ben enough to stay. Sasha was sure she could have, sure she could have survived the icey waters, but she hadn't. She had chosen death, rather than her children. How Sasha hated knowing that. How she wished she didn't. 

[color=6ecff6]"at least you have something from them! I have nothing!"[/color] and now she wanted comfort. She turned tonLazarus [color=6ecff6]"fairy tails dead. Long gone, but descendants still live. I don't know anything other than that. But I know you're lucky to have something connected to mother and father"[/color] her voice had softened, [color=6ecff6]"you want to know me? There's nothing to know. I just am."[/color] she sunk down in her seat, more weary then she ever had been. [color=6ecff6]"I crawled out of the ice because of my magic. Do you know, what its like, to know that your family died and you didn't, because of magic? I despised it for a long time, until my mentor found me and showed me the...life magic had."[/color] a single ice butterfly formed in front of her, and seemed to sparkle, as it fluttered around. 

[color=6ecff6]"such beauty"[/color] she sighed softly, looking over to Shujin. [color=6ecff6]"I found a home in Phoenix Wing. A family. Friends. I'd never had friends before. And I still don't know why Lazarus loves me. And then Penny came along. Told me that she was my blood. And I felt like I wasn't struggling so much. Every day I felt like I was drowning, just that little bit more in the icey waters. But Phoenix Wing? penny? Lazarous? My friends?"[/color] she waved a hand at Trinity, at Prince, Even Nero [color=6ecff6]"I feel like I don't have to struggle and can just...float. I'll never say no to family. But I just don't understand. penny would have been easier to track, to find. Why me?"[/color]
