A/N: Ok this is the next chapter but I have a couple of questions I need to answer and a review from Ray-Tiger-Cat that I'd like to answer too. Ok this first review I got from her was from chapter 10 but I forgot to answer before cause my hotmail was a little messed up and got it a day after I put up chapter 11.
Ray-Tiger-Cat's Review for Chapter 10: I totally forgot to review this fic! I was in a rush and didn't have time when I read this. I meant to come back and review. I didn't even realise my mistake yesterday when I was talking to you. I would think that Tala would be nervous about docs too, cause he was abused a lot. I'm glad Sereinty is not pregie cause I didn't want to read about her giving birth or something. Are they really free from the abbey or are they going to be recaptured?
Answer: First off no problem about reviewing late. Secondly I'm glad you're ok about Serenity not being pregnant since I thought my reviewers would kill me but don't worry cause even if she was pregnant then I wouldn't write out the whole birth scene so don't worry cause even I'm not that good at writing, besides by the end of the scene I'd probably be sick so I wouldn't write it out. Third of all, I was thinking about having them recaptured but I have a better idea since the idea of being recaptured is so predictable that even you came up with it and I don't like being predictable. According to my friends and readers my fic has a lot of 'twists' so I don't think they'll be recaptured but with me being the queen of twists you'll have to wait and see or in this case read.
Part of Silvan-Arrows Reiew for Chapter 11: Well, we certainly can't have you losing your sanity over a lack of reviews, now can we?
Answer: No you can't because if you do then I won't update!
Ray-Tiger-Cat's Review for Chapter 11: Awe, it was boring; you're being too hard on yourself. Are you going to kiil Byran? You mentioned that someone would die, so that's why I'm asking.(yeah, I remeber that the gusrd already died, but there could be more, right?) Are we nearing the end of the fic? You've been updating a lot latly, so I'm starting to think something's up. I know I haven't voted for the next fic yet,but hopefully I'll read the stuff on your profile and answer soon, k?
Answer: I told you it was boring didn't I? I had this conversation with Demi-Goddess earlier this week when I told her I would kill Bryan and she almost skinned me alive so for both my sake and Bryan's I don't think I'll kill him. I was thinking of killing Boris and I just might so apart from him I don't think I'll kill anyone but then there are sequels for a reason right?

Answer: I also talked to Demi-Goddess about this and when I put the votes together there was a draw since some people said yes, some people said no and some didn't bother to tell me so sorry to the people who said no but yes he will be paired up.
Chapter 12
After a while, the conversation changed quickly to a lighter subject. All three teenagers sat in the living room just talking about nothing in particular. The phone on the table rang and Serenity reached out and hit a button on the black receiver. "Hello?" she said, sitting back in her seat.
"Hey Serenity" Mike said on the loud speaker.
"There's no need to shout you're on loud speaker so we can all hear you" Bryan called from his seat.
"Ok then, guess what I just got" Mike said.
"A girlfriend?" Serenity asked jokingly.
"Haha, very funny my little comedian but I just got the warrant" Mike said, not even laughing at Serenity's so called joke.
"Really? That's great" Serenity said excitedly.
"Yeah, my team and I leave for Russia in about two hours" Mike informed.
"Well that's good" Tala said from his place near Serenity.
"Make sure you call us when you get there and keep us informed" Serenity said.
"Sure, I'll call you when we get there" Mike said.
"OK bye then" Serenity said before hitting the button again.
"I hate feeling so helpless like this" Bryan whispered.
"I know what you mean" Serenity said.
"So what do we do now?" Tala asked.
"Nothing much that we can do" Serenity said. Suddenly her eyes lit up, "How about we go for a walk, it would be good for all of us" she suggested.
"Why not" Tala said, getting off the sofa. "You coming?" he asked Bryan.
"Any reason to get out of here for a while" Bryan said, getting up as quickly as he could in his state.
They left the house quickly and walked along the streets. Stopping when an old friend of Serenity's recognized her and stopped to talk to her for a while. Serenity was never quite able to explain to any of them where she had been over the years but it gave her a nice feeling that they even noticed that she was missing from Japan, since she was quite well known to the people in the area and when they didn't see her around they had apparently gotten worried. They walked for a little while longer till Serenity winced when she noticed someone but just walked past her. "Oh my God, Serenity is that you?" A female voice asked from behind them.
Serenity winced harder but put on her usual cold façade and turned round, letting go of Tala's hand. She looked at the girl in front of her and she grew spitefully at her and disgusted. The girl was just about two years younger then her, her hair fell over her shoulders and was a dark shade of purple and had dark red eyes that looked at Serenity with hate in them. "Hello little sister" Serenity said, cold rushing through her voice. Bryan and Tala flinched and Tala balled his fists; he had heard from Serenity about all the things her sister used to say about her and he hated it and now it took every piece of him to keep himself from punching her in the face.
"So at least after all your years of running you finally decided to stop and come back" The girl mocked, "You really are a coward Selene" she said, mocking Serenity further.
"Shut up, who are you to even call me that?" Serenity shot back, her voice echoing through the empty streets.
"Why shouldn't I, you always claimed it was your name along with the stupid comments like 'I remember my mother dieing' or something of the sort" The girl continued.
"Oh shut up would you please" Serenity yelled.
The girl crossed her arms and leaned back a bit, "So how far did you run Serenity?" she asked.
"I never ran intentionally, actually I didn't want to run but fate pulls us in different directions" Serenity said.
"Oh yes that lovely idea you have of fate" The girl mocked.
"So Druscilla, have you finally learnt how to launch a blade without me?" Serenity asked.
The girl looked frustrated now, "Of course I can and I'm far better then you now" she said.
"Really? Then why don't you launch your blade at me, I won't move I swear" Serenity said, smirking as she folded her arms across her chest.
"Serenity, Death bad life good" Tala told Serenity, knowing full well that Serenity wouldn't move if she had promised her sister that.
"Oh please, this bimbo couldn't hit the broadside of a beauty parlour, I mean look at that dye job" Serenity replied mockingly toward Drucsilla.
"You little bitch" Druscilla said, "How dare you?" she yelled in anger.
"How dare I? I'm not the one with the dye job from hell" Serenity said laughing.
Druscilla saw Tala and Bryan laughing behind Serenity and looked at them in anger, "Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?" she asked, yelling at them angrily.
"Yeah you're Serenity's grumpy little sister" Tala said, walking closer to Serenity and holding back laughs.
"Oh please, what has Serenity done to get you both onto her side?" Druscilla asked.
"She's just herself and not some stuck up little girl who wears too much make-up" Tala replied.
"Well at least I'm not dressed up like a cold hearted freak" Drucsilla said, referring to Serenity's short skirt, strapless black top and boots.
"As if what you're wearing is any better" Bryan commented after noticing the girl's attire. She was wearing an extremely short denim skirt and a pink top that exposed her midriff and slender stomach, she then wore high heel sandals and held a pale blue hand bag on her shoulder and held onto the strap. So yeah Serenity did look more cold hearted then she really was but to Bryan, this girl was no better especially with her snobbish attitude and grudge against Serenity.
"Why even care for her I'm the one with power" Druscilla said.
"We grew up around power, she doesn't need yours" Tala said, laughing when Druscilla kept changing subject to find a strong point in herself.
"Please tell me you don't mean Luna, she couldn't fight her way out of a paper bag" Druscilla said, laughing.
Now Serenity was furious, Druscilla had mocked her and she was able to keep her anger under control then but now Druscilla mocked her bit-0beast, her loyal friend and this ticked her off, "Just shut up, you're just jealous, you always new that Luna was dad's favourite and that I deserved her because of my destiny but you just cant accept that. You always thought that because you were mother's favourite that you would get everything you wanted but I'm sorry but just because I'm having a better life now it doesn't mean you have to bring me down" she yelled angrily. "Let's see how much better then me you are at blading shall we?" she said, challenging Druscilla more then asking her.
"Well fighting you shouldn't be too hard, I'll fight two of you" Druscilla said, taking out her pink blade and launcher from her hand bag.
"That's good cause I need a battle" Tala said, taking out his own blade and launcher.
"Actually I want Bryan to battle with me" Serenity said, loading her blade onto her launcher.
"What? Why?" Tala asked.
"Because I promised him a battle and I never go back on my word." Serenity replied. She turned back to Bryan and looked rather disappointed, "I know I promised you a good battle but you're going to have to settle for the creep with the tacky purse" she said, pointing over her shoulder to Druscilla.
"Don't you ever think that maybe you're too competitive?" Druscilla asked.
"Don't you ever think that you have an extraordinarily large ego?" Tala asked, stepping away from them.
"And an extraordinarily large nose?" Serenity added, laughing as she set into a good position.
"Let's just battle" Druscilla said.
---An Hour Later---
All three teenagers walked back into Serenity's apartment laughing. They all sat on the sofa, still laughing a little, "That was such an easy win" Serenity said.
"Yeah we practically did nothing" Bryan said.
"Did you see the look on her face when her attack ring broke? It was priceless" Tala said.
"Yeah it really was fun to see but I don't think you should have gone so far Bryan" Serenity said, seeming rather disappointed.
"Come on you can't say that you didn't enjoy it" Bryan told her.
Serenity smiled again, "Of course I enjoyed it, it was the highlight of the day" she said. The phone rang and Serenity hit the loud speaker button, "Mike?" Serenity asked.
"Yeah listen things are horrible here" Mike said. They all heard a loud crash and Mike's phone hit the floor.
"Mike what's wrong?" Serenity asked worriedly.
"We showed Boris the warrant to search the place and he obviously wasn't very happy about it which was our first hint that something was wrong" Mike said, pausing for a second.
"Found anything yet?" Tala asked.
"Well for starters we found kids training in the ice cold which wasn't something good on Boris' behalf. The kids found out there were taken by the paramedics at the moment and they seemed to find a lot of marks in the first five minutes. From what we found Boris goes to the nearest jail from here but we need to know if there are any hidden places you know about that could lead us to more" Mike explained.
"Well they're hidden places so we don't really know too much" Serenity said, "But we know there are labs under the main level and the abbey keeps on going for about two levels below the first one" she said.
"Yeah we got there and we're still looking around so I'll call you back when we get more on the situation" Mike said.
"Ok thanks" Serenity said before hitting the button again when she noticed that Mike had hung up.
"As usual we're left to do nothing?" Tala asked in frustration.
"I guess so" Bryan muttered.
"I hate it when he leaves us like this. We should be there helping them out, it's better then being stuck here" Serenity said.
"Yeah but this is probably the safest place right now" Tala said.
"Let's just order something to eat and just hope that Mike calls back with some more good news" Serenity said, picking up the phone.
---With Mike---
Mike walked through a deserted part of the abbey and took the stairs to the lower level. He walked through the empty halls and walked into a room, switching on the light he looked inside but found nothing apart from some machines. He kept on walking and switched on the light to another room but found that the bulb had somehow been shattered. He took out a small torch from his jacket pocket and switched it on and scanned the dark room, he suddenly gasped and stepped back out of the room. "Someone call the paramedics" he yelled through the hall.
---Back With The Others- 2hours later---
Everyone had gone to their rooms to get some rest after lunch. They all decided to get some rest for the main reason that there really wasn't much to do at the time, they hadn't heard from Mike since he had called when they got back from the walk and they all thought that something was wrong. Serenity and Tala walked out of their room and saw Bryan sitting on the sofa again, "Bored too huh?" Tala asked.
"Yeah, there is nothing to do here" Bryan replied.
"We're all bored, there is nothing to do and I can't think of anything that we can do" Serenity said, leaning against the arm chair. The phone rang again and this time Bryan was the first to hit the button on the phone, "Yeah Mike, what's happening there?" she asked.
"A lot, the hospital is filled with kids now" Mike said, walking through the halls of the hospital.
"Are they all ok?" Tala asked.
"Well…we had a problem with two of the youngest ones" Mike replied hesitantly.
"What kind of problems?" Bryan asked.
"DOA" Mike replied simply. (A/N: DOA-Dead On Arrival)
"Oh no" Serenity whispered, "And how are the others?" she asked.
"They're ok but didn't you say that you were the only girl in the abbey?" Mike asked, walking into a large hospital room.
"Yeah, I've been the only girl there in the last six years" Serenity confirmed, a little confused as to why he was asking. "Why do you ask?" she asked curiously.
"Because another girl was found, three floors lower then the original entrance level" Mike said.
"Describe her" Tala said.
"There isn't much I can really tell you, she has long pale light blue hair and as for her clothes I cant really say, she was covered in blood when I found her" Mike said.
"Is she ok?" Serenity asked.
"Not even close, she had been beaten badly; no body knows how long she's been down there. We questioned as many kids on her as we could but no one knew who she was." Mike said, looking over at the body in the hospital bed.
"But I do" Bryan whispered, his eyes widening when he finally remembered the younger girl.
"What do you mean?" Serenity asked.
"Did I hear right?" Mike asked.
"She's a couple of years younger then me, she was at the abbey with me when I was much younger but she seemed to disappear after a while and I guess I just forgot about her" Bryan explained, avoiding everyone's looks.
"How is she now?" Serenity asked Mike, changing the subject off of Bryan.
"Currently in a coma, we were really lucky we found her in time but we still don't know if she's going to make it. She lost a lot of blood and she had been down there for very long so no one even knew that she was hurt" Mike informed, picking up the cold hand of the young girl. "Look I have to go check up on all the other kids, I'll call you back in about an hour" he said before hanging up.
Serenity switched off the phone and looked back up at Bryan who sighed painfully. She looked at him worriedly as he stared at the ground, "You ok?" she asked.
"Just fine" Bryan replied, not looking up at them, hiding the tears that formed in his eyes.
"I think we've believed that one too many times" Tala said, sitting down next to Serenity.
Bryan lifted his head to look at them, his eyes already seeming a little red and still filled with some unshed tears, "What do you know about her?" Serenity asked, softening when she saw Bryan showing them a small measure of what he had called weakness.
"I can't remember her too much, it's like my mind was erased of all her memories" Bryan replied.
"Don't worry, just tell us what you know and can remember" Serenity said.
"Her name is Karina and if I'm calculating right she's about thirteen now and she was the first girl in the abbey. She was my room mate for a while but then Boris put her into a room by herself so I didn't get to see her as much. She never knew her family since she was at the abbey from about five years old; she was a shy girl and was never quite confident in herself. She was an honest girl and was kind to everyone but when she got mad it was one hell of a war there." Bryan explained, almost in a daze and avoiding everyone's gazes.
Serenity looked at him strangely and raised an eyebrow, "For someone to have claimed he forgot her you sure described her well" she said.
"Yeah and this girl sounds a lot like Serenity if you ask me" Tala commented.
"How could I have forgotten her so easily?" Bryan whispered.
"Maybe Boris did something to you to make you forget about her or maybe it was the side affect of an experiment" Serenity suggested.
"Maybe but I don't know" Bryan whispered.
"Maybe we can get Mike to bring Karina here" Tala suggested.
"What? Why?" Bryan asked.
"He's right, it would be a good idea, if she's in a coma then she could hear and feel all that is happening around her so maybe if she hears you then she'll wake up" Serenity continued.
"It's a crazy idea but it might work" Tala added.
"Maybe" Bryan whispered.
A/N: Ok what did you think? I hope you liked it and this chapter made up for the other chapter which was very uninteresting. A special thanks to Demi-Goddess-Queen Of OCs for creating Karina, even though I know she only did it to be paired up with Bryan but thanks for her help anyway since she really helped me out in this chapter. I'm just kidding, I know that Demi did it to help me cause I had asked her to. I knew she liked Bryan so when it came to creating the OC for him who else to ask but the Queen Of OCs, she really helped out in this chapter so a huge thanks to Demi-Goddess since she really helped me out. Thanks to all who reviewed the last chapter and please review this one. I'll try to update as soon as I can but please be patient with me.
