"What is it? Show me!" Christian let go of Tirips and raced to the man's side.

The man was holding a pale white hair clip that appeared to be the same one Satine had in her hair earlier.

"Keep looking!" Christian demanded darkly, clutching the clip and walking back over to Tirips.

"Yes, sir." They continued to search, and did so for the rest of the day until night rose and Tirips had fallen asleep on Christian's lap.

"I'm sorry, Sir, we couldn't find anything...." The men reported earlier. Christian didn't reply right away, tears began to burn his eyes as he looked away.

"Get home then! If you can't find anything, I'll search myself!"

"No, sir, I don't suggest that, its dark and the people who attacked them have probably disappeared by now." The tallest man directed him home.

Christian walked home with Tirips and set her up on a heap of burlap sacks. "Good night..." Christian said, walking out of the door. He walked down the path, back to the spot where Satine had disappeared.

"SATINE!?!?" He called, straining against his throat. "SATINE!?!" He knelt to the ground and began to cry. He put his face in his hands, sobbing.

A mist rose behind Christian. He spun around and squinted into it, trying to find out what it could possibly be. There appeared to be a figure in in the middle of it, floating towards him. He backed away, slightly afraid.

"Christian, don't be afraid...." The mist slowly faded and a beautiful woman stood before him, the woman being Tirips. She put her hand on his face and bent down, placing a delicate kiss on his soft lips. He pulled away abruptly.

"What did you do with Satine?" He hissed, his dark brown hair falling in front of his eyes.

"I didn't do a thing...." She lied.

"Yes, you did! And, I know it! Where is she?!?" Christian stood up and put his face up close to Tirips.

"Right....here...." Christian whipped around from hearing a frail voice followed by a couple of gasps and coughs. Christian, gave a exhale of relieved air, and rushed by her side, helping her up from the side of the rode. "You!" She snarled at Tirips.

"What did I do?" Tirips asked innocently.

"You bitch!" Satine, gasping, looked at Christian with compassion.

"What darling?" Christian asked sweetly, holding her in his arms.

"She pushed me down there......she...I know there is something wrong with her! I saw her kissing you the night before....I just didn't know it was her!"

"This true?" Christian asked, glaring at Tirips, who suddenly became speechless.
