Soon the four arrived at Roderich's house. Antonio went up and knocked on the door. Elizaveta opened the door and smiled. "Mister Antonio, it's so good to see you. What are you doing here?" Antonio smiled back. "It's good to see you too. We need to see Roderich, it's very important."

Please, come in." she stepped aside. "Come on Lovi." Antonio called behind him.

Lovina slowly stepped out from behind him. Elizaveta's smile widened as she looked the girl up and down. Elizaveta quickly pulled her into an embrace. "I'm so happy for you" she whispered. Antonio saw a small smile smile on Lovina's lips. Antonio walked in, followed by Francis, then Gilbert. But Gilbert froze as soon as he saw Elizaveta.

"…Lizzie?" Elizabeta's eyes widened as he stepped closer, staring at her. "Gil?" Gilbert laughed as he picked her up and spun her around. "It's so awesome to see you Lizzie!" Lovina started watching the two, but was interrupted by Antonio's hand on the small of her back, gently pushing her onward. "Maybe we should let them catch up" Antonio said, winking. Francis smirked as he followed the two into Roderich's music room.

They could hear the piano playing as they got closer. But Lovina slowed as they approached the doors. Antonio looked at her, concerned. "Is everything alright Lovi?" Lovina shifted uncomfortably. "What will he say when he sees me…?"

She felt Francis place his hand on her shoulder. "If he gives you any trouble, I'll kick his ass for you, oui?" Antonio placed a light kiss on the top of her head. "Everything will work out fine." Lovina nodded as he opened the doors. Roderich finished the piece right as they entered. He turned to face them. "Can I-"

He stopped short when he saw Lovina. He walked toward the three, never taking his eyes off her. "Lovino, is that you?" She nodded her head slowly. She couldn't quite read his expression. He looked shocked, confused, and maybe even amused. "Well I…when did you…" He trailed off, trying to find the right words. Lovina sighed. "I can explain later, Mister Roderich."

He nodded. "Yes of course…" He looked at Antonio quizzically. Francis cleared his throat. "We've decided to hunt down Sadiq. Gilbert has returned and he's on board as well." Roderich let out a sigh of relief. "Good. I'm glad you've decided to take action."

Antonio stepped forward. "But I need you to do me a favor. I can't leave Lovina by herself. Could she please stay with you." Roderich smiled. "Of course, it's the least I can do. When are you leaving?"

"Today" Francis responded. "I see. Well I'll take in…Lovina while you're away." Antonio shook Roderich's hand. "Muchas gracias. Hopefully we won't be away too long." They all filed out of the room and saw Gilbert still talking with Elizaveta. When she saw the others, Elizaveta blushed and stepped away from him. He simply smirked and turned to the others. "We all set?"

"Oui" Francis answered. "Awesome! Don't worry Lizzie, I'll be back soon." She smiled as he walked out the door, followed by Francis and Antonio. Lovina looked to Roderich and Elizaveta. "I'm going to go say goodbye" she said before bursting through the doors.

"Antonio!" she called. He turned around and smiled as he walked to her. She fought back tears as he lifted her chin. "Try to stay out of trouble, ok Lovi?" She rolled her eyes. "I don't get into trouble" she grumbled. Antonio chucked as he leaned in closer.

"I'll be back as soon as possible." Lovina nodded as he wiped a stray tear from her face. "You shouldn't be worrying about me, idiota." He smiled and gently kissed her. She pulled away and hugged him. "I will never stop worrying about you" he muttered. He let go of her and paced his hands on her shoulders. "But I know you'll be fine. I'll see you in a little while" he promised. She nodded and watched him follow the other two until they were out of sight.

When she got back inside, Feliciano was eagerly waiting for her. "Sorella, I'm so happy you're here!" he said as he nearly tackled her. His embrace was starting to suffocate her. "Feli…let go…" Feliciano released her, smiling. "I'm sorry, it's just so good to see you, especially as a girl!" Roderich looked away uncomfortably.

"Lovina, I hope you'll enjoy your stay here…" Why did he have to always be so formal? "Thank you Mister Roderich…"

"Elizaveta, please take Lovina to one of the spare rooms." Elizaveta nodded and smiled. "Yes sir." Elizaveta led Lovina upstairs and showed her into a small room, similar to the one at home. Elizaveta left to let her get settled.

Lovina stayed in her room for the rest of the day. She just sat on the bed and stared out the window, worrying. It was starting to get dark when Feliciano popped his head in. "Sorella, do you want to come down?" she shook her head. "That's ok Lovi, I'll come to you!" He sat next to her and smiled. Lovina looked at him, and sighed. Feliciano's smile faltered as he put his arm around his sister. "You're worried about your boss, aren't you?" she nodded her head slowly.

"Don't worry, Lovi! Mister Antonio is strong and nice and the coolest guy I know! He'll be fine!" Lovina smiled lightly. Somehow, her brother's words comforted her. She leaned over and hugged him, catching him by surprise. "Thank you Feli…" she said softly. Feliciano chuckled as he hugged her back. "You're much nicer as a girl, Lovi." She rolled her eyes. "Don't push your luck, idiota." Feliciano just laughed as he continued to comfort his sister.

The next day, she helped Feliciano and Elizaveta with their chores to try to keep her mind occupied. But no matter what she did, she still worried. But she was glad she had her brother with her, even if he was extremely annoying at times. And Elizaveta cared for her, so things could've been worse.

But nights were the worst. There was nothing she could do to distract herself. So she was left staring up at the ceiling, imagining the worst. She missed him holding her while she slept. She barely slept for the whole duration of her stay.

By day three, she was at her wits end. She was anxious to know how he was doing and what was going on. She tried to distract herself by talking to Roderich, but that didn't help. She eventually retreated to her room and stayed there the rest of the afternoon. I didn't help that it was raining. As she watched the drops hit the windowpane, her uneasiness only grew. It wasn't until later that evening did Elizaveta call for her. "Lovi, they're back!"

Lovina bolted out of her room. She ran down the stairs, eager to finally know that Antonio was safe. Her heart shattered when she saw Gilbert and Francis dragging Antonio through the door. They were all soaking wet and Antonio's body was limp.

Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor. Francis rushed to her side. "Lovina, look at me." Her eyes were wide and full of tears. She couldn't tear her gaze away from Antonio as Gilbert now supported him while talking to Roderich. "Lovi!" he said, shaking her. She finally looked at him, her eyes full of fear.

"It's ok, he's ok. He just hit his head! He's going to be fine." Lovina slowly nodded as he released her. She held her face in the hands as she sobbed. "You idiota! Why would you drag him in here like a damn corpse!" she yelled. Elizaveta placed her hand on Lovina's back.

"Calm down Lovi. We're getting a doctor. You don't have to worry."

Yay for PruHun. Not yay for hurt Antonio….until next time kiddies…
