Everett groaned, he should have thrown away Caleb's cellphone when he had the chance, but he nodded. Slowly he took off his racing gear and he was back into his suit, his large hands slicked back his hair and he looked at Caleb. "Do not call him my father in law, that man is not deserving of that title," Everett half joked, he could feel himself heavily disliking the man, for some reason he himself, cannot comprehend just yet. Perhaps in due time, making his way to the parking lot the thought just occurred to him. "Hey the ball is in a few days, we need to get our dates dresses," he reminded his friend, "And by the way, this is strike two of your three strikes my friend. This is not working out in our favor." --- Lotus followed her admirable friend, she was not as forgiving. Behind her placid and friendly face, Lotus was burning for revenge. She questioned both her loyalty to her people and her lover. While she wants to follow her heart and protect Caleb, her duty was to her people. It was a decision she rather not make. He is after all, part of the government. While she tried to remind herself that he was not at fault, she couldn't help but to harbor a prejudice against them all. The nights of unforgivable torture and interrogation haunted her dreams, which was no secret to Raina and Seymour. It still haunts her, the tattoo they forced upon her still burn to this day, sometimes she would stare at it just to fuel her anger. Yet, she does not join in any of the attacks. Lotus knew, that this sort of prejudice and fear could not be fought with anarchy. That would be adding gasoline to the fire. "Where were you?" Seymour's voice popped out from below them. Lotus groaned and jumped off the ladder, landing before him. She stared him back in the eyes. "We were out. I needed some air and she accompanied me." "Lotus, you know it's dangerous out there!" "Seymour it's dangerous in here!" She retorted, surprised at her own voice but she continued, "All these attacks it has to be stopped!" "What? How can you say that? We are defending our people!" "By what? By killing and fighting theirs? This is not the way Seymour! I know it's not, you use to be so peaceful what happened to you?" Lotus cried out, she needed to release her angers, and she did not know how. "What happened to me? Do you not remember what happened to you? Lotus ever since we were young, I have promised your guardians I would keep you safe, and that is what I am going to do!" "I am not a helpless little girl anymore Seymour! I am not! I can fight for myself!" Her hands clenched and vines shot up from the ground, each bearing thorns, Seymour jumped back slightly, one popped up before him, he touched it and it burst into flames.

Sniffling Ezri tried to compose himself, he heard the small hiss from his cat, and then Jaron's suggestion to leave and he nodded, he wiped the tears from his eyes and turned around. His mouth dropped when he saw Everest as a human, he knew it was Everest because of the same color pattern on his ears and tail. Ezri knew that Everest was special and could talk, but the last thing he had anticipated was that the cat has become human. When he heard snarling from down stairs, Ezri started to sway, it was a creature. "We have to get out of here, and fast," Everest commented, from a pouch around his waist, he withdrew dust that he sprinkled on Jaron and Ezri, "As humans your scents would be detected, this should help cover it up. Now, we cannot leave from the front door, we'll be quickly detected. I suggest we take the back door." Ezri opened his mouth to speak, "Which means... we have to go down stairs." He gulped and gripped on to his flashlight and Jaron. "Up for the challenge pretty boy?" Everest offered a snide remark to Jaron.

Ezri, mortified bolted out of the storage room and up the stairs, he needed to get out of the bakery and find Jaron, It would be much safer being with the other stronger male. The creature didn't follow Ezri but the male found it hard to stifle a sob as he ran, it was the most terrified he had ever felt in his life. After making it up the stairs, Ezri looked around, he saw two male figures, one of them familiar to him, it was Jaron. The smaller male, without a second thought basically jumped into Jaron's arms.

Everest smirked when Jaron threatened him, it was somewhat cute that a human would think such a thought. He brushed it aside, before they could move his cat ears detected movements up the stairs, rapid movements, and a small sob. It was definitely Ezri. The cat boy stepped forward, hoping to comfort the boy when he comes running. But he was caught by surprise when the boy ran past him and straight for Jaron. Everest shot Jaron and annoyed look, he gave a small hiss.

*-Everett nodded at Caleb's words and he took them into consideration, stalking would eventually be a last resort to cure his curiosity. When Caleb's phone buzzed, Everett eceived a message through his pager. It was an important house meeting to sort out issues about the rebels hidden within the city. He made no move reach for his pager and report to his responsibility. Instead he waited for Caleb to finish so they could leave together. His mind wandered to Raina and their time together. A small smile came on his face, her secret nature was intriguing him.

---

Lotus sighed, it was like everything was a bad Shakespeare play. Soon they came upon the manhole, Lotus pushed it aside and offered Raina to go in first. Before she went down she grabbed Laina by the hand and looked at the girl in the eyes.

"Remember, we speak to no one about this, if words gets out, we would be traitors," her voice became low, "traitors of our own people. A shameful title."

Everett pursed his lips, he was slightly upset that Raina and Lotus were leaving early. He wave a small way to Raina and Lotus as they rushed away.

"Hmmm. She'll be okay. It was probably just the announcement," Everett shrugged, "Following them is a little too much for now, just for now, Caleb," Everett grinned, it slowly disappeared as he watch their forms fade off in the distance. "Mysterious beings, women are. Caleb. Why do you think they are so protective of their identity? It is rather surprising to see how nervous they seem. Why should they be so worried?"

---

Lotus was grateful that Raina had ushered her away before Caleb could intervene, she was just overall grateful that they could escape so smoothly, but the news about the government was a huge concern. Papers were easy to fake. But the sheer number that the rebels had to make were baffling. Lotus' head pounded when she realizes how much time she has to exert to the effort of creating paper, quality government issued paper. Supplies were running low and hard to scavenge. Money was hard to find since none of them could get a job, legally.

"Raina, this is getting out of hand," Lotus whispered, as they took a hidden route back to the manhole, "I'm.... I'm worried." Lotus' fists were in tight balls, "We're...I'm endangering us all. I don't that. Oh Raina, I may have to stop seeing him." Her mind raced. She was thinking of the children, old, young everyone in their camp. Her memories burned inside of her. The memories of interrogation, torture, and escaping barely with her life. The pain, was unreal, it was as if she could feel her scars pulse and burn.

"But, I don't want to... He makes me so happy. How could something so beautiful be so destructive?"
