Teak Disregarded the sleeping Deserah and got out of the strange bed. Finding his pants he put them on. He stretched a bit then flinched as he felt a pain in his chest area.
He looked down an found a bandage that wrapped around his chest, leaving his torso, shoulders and arms bare. He found his shoes in the corner but had trouble finding his shirt.
After searching thought a few draws for the missing shirt he gave up on it. With one last glace at his soul mate he left the room.
The halls were nicely decorated and Teak had the feeling that Deserah's family could never afford something as expensive looking as most of the priceless antiques. Pulse the fact that the halls seemed to go on forever, which indicated a rather large house if not a mansion.
He thought it weird and wondered where exactly Deserah brought him… It wasn't until Teak ran into Ash, who was known to ha e sided with the Daybreakers, kissing a human (as if just knowing Ash was with them was bad enough…) did Teak know where he was.
Half cursing he snuck past the kissing couple and ran the rest of the way to the front door. He wasn't stopped by anyone and he was glad that he didn't have to fight anyone.

Deserah felt cold, like something was missing. It was three days since Teak was stabbed and she hadn't left his side yet. Deserah, although hating herself for it, was grateful for the Daybreakers. They let her stay at there mansion for an indefinite period, she told her mom she was helping Jill out with a sleep away camp and that she should be gone for a month. The Daybreakers also brought food up to her so that she wouldn't have to leave Teaks side.
Yawning she reluctantly got up and realized Teak wasn't there. She panicked at first before she rationalized with herself that Teak could be down stairs.
Walking over to a full length mirror she realized how tangled her hair looked. Making a face at herself she turned towards the dresser and grabbed a brush.
After spending 5 minutes on her hair, the most she had ever spent on her appearance, she made her way to the mansions meeting room. In the room several of the soul mate couples were watching the Titanic. Strolling in she quickly scanned some of the solo couples. Frowning when she didn't see Teak she left the meeting room. Deciding that if anyone should know where Teak was it would be Thierry.
She slowly made her way to his office, she had only been there once before, all the while hoping that Teak was still at the mansion. She knocked on the door and waited to be acknowledged.
A tired 'come in' came from behind the door and Deserah opened the door to a paperwork cluttered room with a hair rumpled Thierry almost buried behind all the work.
"Ah Deserah" Thierry said as he ran his hand through his already messy hair and indicated to a chair, "what can I do for you?"
She sat nervously the blurted out, "It's Teak I don't know where he is… uh…" she stopped as she remembered that Thierry just might not want another problem placed on him, he already looked busy enough, even to help her out.
The door opened then and a teenaged man walked into the room. "You called Thierry?"
Deserah was about to get up and leave, realizing that Thierry WAS too busy to deal with her petty problems. Thierry saw her go to get up and he immediately waved her back down to her seat.
"Deserah this is Orion, he is usually watching the cameras around the mansion, though to day I let him take a break…" Thierry looked apologetically at Deserah. He then turned to Orion, "Deserah says that Teak is missing, why don't you go through the film and see if anyone left the building while you were on break…"
Orion nodded and went for the door. Seeing that Deserah looked hesitant Thierry gave her a smile and said "Deserah why don't you go with him?"
She nodded and got up. Thierry couldn't help but remember the feeling of loss that no doubt Deserah was feeling. In fact, now that he was looking in on his feelings, he needed to get away from all the paper work. Shoving himself from the desk he made his way towards the meeting room. Entering he smiled at a girl at the far corner. She saw him and made her way towards him with a secret smile.
