Izadora
Izadora have been busy since the early morning. Getting a call that she was needed, at the local airport. Where an attack had happened. She was to help if need to identify the bombers.
She had left that morning and returned just after midday. General Alder had deployed the Navy and Airforce alongside the local fire force. There had quickly determined that there was two lots of bombs. One that entered the airport and second, the ones that had planted the one inside the airport. Two body were found close to, the only bomb that didn’t fully active. Which was good and bad.
Izadora and taken the bodies back to basic. She had her class re aside. And other officer takes over her class. Two private assisted her, setting up the room down the hall from her office. And laid down the two bodies.
“get the tools and your lab coats. You’re both going to assist me on writing the report”.
With a nob both left the room, she could see them in the hallway removing their jacket and placing them on the hooks that lined just outside the room. She left to do the same. Heading to her office.
She didn’t notice anything at first. It wasn’t until she was exiting her office, with her lap coat on. That she saw both Libba and Raelle in the room, where the mother was.
“what are you too, doing.”
“I don’t know”. Libba said. It was the truth. She only come here because that where Raelle said she was going. And to worried about her, to think it though, she followed.
Raelle didn’t say anything, still held close in Libba’s arms. Izadora step inside the room, finally Raelle reacted. Turned towards her, her eyes still glazed over.
There thought elsewhere, to her the norm wasn’t right.
The only think she could get out that made sense to them around her was, “you smell”.
To her it wasn’t because she smells bad or wrong. But for the fact she could smell the dead for the explosion on her. Without saying more, she pushes herself up and exiting room. not hearing Izadora nor Libba call out to her. She walked down the hall and into the morgue. She moved over to the table that know hold the dead. Tears run down her face and her hand touched the heavy burnt body.
“Penelope also known as penny. Also, daughter of Silver. You may pass on.”
Raelle step back, her legs gave out. Libba rushes over to picking her up and quickly removing them from the room. Izadora intrusted the privates to write everything thing there see down. And followed them out.
As she steps out, she watched at Raelle fell to the ground, Libba guiding her down.
“what on earth was that.” Her word where hash but her tone was soft.
“the mother, my connected. I can feel those who die. The attack, I know everyone who died there. There so many.”
Izadora gets down to her level.
“is this the reason you keep that shiner mark, up permanently. So, you’re not affected, with the dead that frequent this place.”
“yes, one of them is down.”
Libba placed her hand over the shiner mark and quickly song the seed of sealing. Quickly Raelle whole dementor changed. Like she wasn’t feeling anything. But that means she was feeling, pain.
“I’m not going to ask any more about your connection with the mother. There right know more important things to do. The bombing that happened last night, killed a lot of people. That person inside that room. Is one of the bombers, I need to know everything you know.”
Raelle stayed in Libba arms, “the one I touched, she was confused. Needed to see. Herself. She is Penelope Silver the daughter of the Vice President. I saw though her eyes what happened. Which I will show Alder soon. Along with Mark. He was a civilian. The other victim, he understood why is there”.
“are you sure.”
“I am cold, Izadora I answer only in truth.”
“ok, I am ordering both of you out. don’t come back until dinner time, of any day. I have a lot of work to do”.
Izadora says while standing up, straightening her lab coat a little.
With that both of get up. Raelle still numb didn’t react to her body. Still crying out to her, her legs nearly giving out. But she quickly regains her footing. Both Libba and Izadora noticed but said nothing directly about it.
“Raelle report to. Lt: Grey”
She looks at her, she really didn’t want to. She just wanted a hole, where she could sleep and never come out of again.
“is that an order, Sargent Dart”.
“it is.”
With that move to leave.
“make sure she gets there Libba. Right now, her mind is broken. Dealing with post-trauma”.
Before she could say anything back. Raelle called out; she had stopped some distance away.
“are you coming, blue eyes.”
With a little giggle. Libba rushed off.
Izadora watched them disappear. Before re-entering.
“so, privates what do we have.”

Grey had called over Farspeech for help. That she and Abigail was attacked.
Petra paused. But understanding her role, ordered a fellow family member to her side. Once she was done with her duties she would be there, until she was recovered.
Two officers coming running their weapons in hand.
“where did there go” one of them call out.
“in their sir” pointing toward the room that the attack come from.
There where down the hall knows. Grey had dragged Abigail away. For her safety, she was going to go back but the officers come just in time. Both of the officers step inside the room, Grey pointed to. There had quickly found the assailant. He had killed himself with the window glass. But there kept that to themselves.
Both of them exited and quickly seal the room up. The second one, stood attention.
A couple of fixers, finally come taking Abigail that is still hadn’t regain consciousness. From the attack.
*****
As Raelle and Libba exit. There both bombarded with farspeech. There quickly figure out that Abigail was injured in an attack. Both of them look at each other. Raelle could see the worry in her eyes. Despite them saying there hate each other, there where more like. Best friends that had a fallen out.
There both rushed toward the infirmary not slowing down. once inside the building. Not until there where feet away from Abigail. Libba without thinking dove on her, hugging her. Getting a groan from her and a strong arm around her body. Holding her in place.
Raelle just stood there. Her friend was injured. But she felt nothing. She was glad she was alive. Grey and Toot were sitting on the bed to the right of her. But she didn’t take them in.
The fourth seal that was active and fully seal her emotions.
“where there found”.
Grey was the one who spoke.
“yes, but there dead. Killed themselves.”
“good, so I don’t have to. That good”.
Tally alongside Adil and Khalida coming rushing into the room. Adil walked over to Abigail side taking her hand in his.
“are you ok”.
“I will be, there said I had a small concussion but nothing else.”
Tally looked around, noticing Raelle had gone. But just thinking she needs some time to process said nothing. Taking her cue. “hay guys, where don’t we give Adil and Abigail sometime together.”
Tally and Abigail both looked at each other. With understanding. Grey and Toot took Libba away. Leading her to the Dorm rooms, saying there will be back tomorrow morning, to take them to breakfast. With a chuckle from everyone. There left. Once gone
Tally turns to Khalida. “would you like another sleep over. I can even saw you. How to fix your top. The one you stopped wearing after the first few days being here.”
With a small nob. There both leave as well.
Adil leans forward kissing her forehead. “I am glad you’re not too injured, my love”.
Her eyes start to water. Quickly Adil climbs onto the bed and pulls her into a hug. Understanding she was finally allowing herself to feel. Allowing herself to be herself outside being the unbroken leader.
"I got you, let it out."

It was late in the evening when she watched a Necro make there way. Toward the office building, holding a report. She couldn’t tell if it was one of the two that was helping Izadora, but she really didn’t care much. The cold air hit against the back of her neck, her blonde hair crossing her vision. The numbness of the fourth seal had started to effect, her more, not just emotionally.
It was late there was only the night light around the basic that gave of any light. When she noticed movement again, it was most of the ranking officers leaving a building. By all the red strips that line their arms. She couldn’t make out anything more.
It was early hours when she finally moved back inside the building. She made her way down back to Abigail side. Pulled a chair close and sat down watching Adil and Abigail cuddling together.

A young adult, wearing light brown clothes with a scarf around their neck and partially over their face. He rushes thought the woods, towards sound of fighting. Normally he and the other, would run away and hide. But the attack has multiplied of late and one of his charges, was missing. He had left the remain member with a hide out. A hole under a fallen tree. Just of the beaten path.
He couldn’t allow another member of his tribe be taken. To many have been taken and killed. Everyone he thinks have a breaking point. His mind raced remembering his vole to protect, the young and the weak, with or without there leaders. Adil and Khalida being around ordering it.
He stops, his breathing was heavy form sprinting. His heartbeat pounding in his ears. But he could still hear the noise of fighting. His adrenaline making easy to do so.
He noticed just a head, a figure dress in all black. The main thing he noticed there were wearing a hood, covering some of there face. But from this distance he could really see. And it was getting late, the sun almost gone. The remaining light only giving him this quick look.
He watched as there approached something and with a scream. He along with everything stopped.
The person finally noticed the man. There didn’t move just tilted his head. Like he was communicating with something or someone. Then there approached him.
“fear not, I am a fellow Witch. This, red coats call us. My people are here, on behave of Adil and Khalida. We would like to spoke with your people.”
He watches as a few figures step out from behind the trees. And for the first time, in so long.
He felt save.
