Heart of Dublin:

"So what happened to you guys?" Dante glances over at Lok.

"We heard the blast that came from your guys incident. We couldn't get a hold of you so we wanted to try and help. So we darted towards the direction of the smoke." Lok stares at Zhalia as he says his name. "We ran into Klaus."

"So he is here," Dante whispers while staring at Zhalia holding her breath in concern.

"We also ran into another person," Lok informs them of the 2nd Apprentice with Klaus.

"Who was it?" Dante wonders to Lok.

Zhalia lowers her head as she looks away the holotome to stare at the person that Lok says hurt Sophie and him. Dante stares at the holotome as Zhalia starts to slam the screen closed.

"Her name is Liliana," Lok states as Zhalia's face disappears from the screen when Zhalia hears her name.

"Zhalia?" Dante questions as he tries to call her back. "Zhalia!"

Zhalia closes the Holotome as she stares at Liliana placing her hands on the titan that both the Organization and Huntik Foundation have been searching for. She stares at Liliana while a tear appears in her eye for a moment of weakness. Zhalia slowly approaches the entrance of the alley while Liliana tries to bond with the titan. Rage gathers in Zhalia's heart, remembering the state of Sophie and Lok when she and Dante found them.

Lok and Sophie's Incident:

"Lok! Sophie!" Zhalia yells in worry as she falls to the ground in front of Lok.

"Wake up Sophie!" Dante tries to wake her up. "She isn't responding!"

"She needs to get to the hospital quickly!" Zhalia orders Dante. "You take them! I will stay behind and keep an eye on the Organization."

"Zhalia! You need help too!" Dante states to her.

"But the Organization needs to be watched," Zhalia places a hand on Dante's face as she tries to hold her emotions in front of him. She is scared as pain erupts in her body. "I will be fine."

"Zhalia!" Dante tries to argue with her.

"Dante..." Zhalia mimics him with a terrible voice.

Dante lowers his head to her with a great sigh. "There is no way in changing your mind," Dante states, knowing the answer already.

"It is like you know me so well," Zhalia restates to him with great sarcasm in her voice.

"It is like you don't care about your own safety," Dante mentions to her with worry in his voice. "I am your partner, and I am trying to protect you but you chose not to listen to me."

Zhalia stares at him with a little shake in her head as Dante notices the little cut above her eyebrow. "I do care about myself. It just has to be after everyone else gets checked out first because," Zhalia smirks at him as he quickly catches the hidden tears in her eyes.

Dante shakes his head towards her with worry in his heart. He places his head against hers, causing Zhalia to stop and stare at him for a moment. He closes his eyes while her hand lays still on his face. He doesn't want to forget her touch because he knows that she will do anything to help out Sophie and Lok.

"Because why?" Dante wonders trying to hold her there another minute.

"Because they are my partners as well," Zhalia answers him, lowering her hand from his face.

"Be safe... Please..." Dante whispers in reply while Zhalia gets off the ground with a little difficulty.

"When am I not?" Zhalia smirks at Dante as she jumps onto the roof across the alley.

"Come on Lok!" Dante picks up Lok in one arm with Sophie in the other. "Sophie needs us!"

Dante starts to slowly head to the nearest hospital. Zhalia places her fists on her hips as she turns to find the Organization along the river. She jumps down a few alleys when she comes upon the alley she is in now.

Present:

Zhalia lowers her head as she crawls towards the river's edge. She glances at her hand where Dante's warm cheek laid for a moment. Zhalia snaps out of it for a minute, turning all of her attention to Liliana. Liliana smiles while finishing her bond with the new titan now in her possession. Zhalia's mind and heart pound in pain and betrayal for both people. She closes her eyes when remembering Liliana. She has known her for so long.

"Liliana!" Klaus's voice breaks Zhalia's flashback when she opens her eyes to Klaus's walking towards Liliana, evil as ever. "Have you bonded yet?"

"Yes," Liliana answers him like he has complete control over her.

"Lili..." Zhalia whispers her nickname for Liliana. "What has he done to you?"

"Did you take care of the two children?" Klaus's wonders to her.

"Miss Casterwill is probably dead by now. That boy is probably going to have head trauma. They are taken care of," Liliana states to Klaus, placing the titan back in her pocket.

"Good, Apprentice," Klaus chuckles at her with evil sipping through his smile. "I knew that you were the correct one."

"Yes, sir," Liliana replies to him with respect.

"Now let us go," Klaus starts to head towards a riverboat. "We have what we came for."

"Yes, sir." Liliana darts after him with a little hidden smile.

"I am not going to lose you," Zhalia whispers to herself while running in the shadows.
