            Note: Sigh… Would you believe I'm back in my depressed mood? And now, for some reason, I'm taking it out on Rena… No, it's not another suicide story.

            Rena cried out in pain as she slammed against the wall of the dungeon, blood blinding her vision. "I'll ask you again." Said a calm voice from the shadows. "Where is he?" Rena spit the blood that was in her mouth in the direction the voice was coming from. She heard a sigh. "I was hoping you would be more cooperative, that's what my sorces said."

            "Well…. Who ever said that… didn't know me very well… did they?" She struggled to breath, the beating was taking a lot out of her. "Why don't you show your face coward, then after I get out of here I can hunt you like the dog you are!" The man walked out of the shadows and Rena gasped in horror. The man resembled who he was looking for. "You're Claude's father aren't you?" The man smirked.

            I used to be called that, but not anymore. We're off the subject. Now, where is Claude?"

            "You'll have to kill me because I'll never tell you and I'm the only one who knows. To bad for you, you lose every time." An evil smile crossed Mr. Kenni's lips.

            "I'm sure I can find some way to convince you." He walked over to Rena and kicked her in the stomach. She curled up into a ball, grimacing in pain.

            "I can't heal myself!" She thought franticly. "This room must make sure I can't use magic!" Rena just laid on the ground cringing and thinking that if she got kicked again, she wouldn't be able to survive it. "This is it…" She thought when she saw him getting ready to kick her again. She braced herself for the blow but it never came. When Rena looked up at him, she saw that something else held his attention in the opposite direction. When she looked that way she gasped, unbelieving. "Leon!"
