A/N: Sorry for the delay! With all the stupid hurricanes coming down on us here in Florida, I haven't had time to upload my chapters (nor write them ;) But I'm back! Well enough rambling, on with the show!

When you follow your instincts, you follow the right path...

Cher took a sip of her cold coffee and flinched at the awful taste of it. She made a face of disgust but still drank from the mug. Feeling like anymore of the horrible drink would kill her, she placed the cup down and looked away from it, goose bumps racing down her skin from the remaining taste of coffee in her mouth. There she sat, like a statue, in front of Cheza. No matter how much her eyes were drooping, begging to close, the blonde kept herself awake. Many times, while analyzing Cheza, Cher's eyes would close for some rare seconds and snap open, the battle between staying awake and sleeping raging.

Still, with her glasses perked up, her flaxen hair picked up in its usual style, and her straightened pastel coat, Cher was determined to stay up all night recording the flower maiden's data.

It was already four in the morning, most of the workers in the laboratory had gone home and those who had stayed were getting ready to leave. But not Cher, nothing would move her from her seat.

"Don't you think you should rest, Degre?" Captain's voice came in, his footsteps behind her. The man stood next to her and looked at the pale woman who simply stared at Cheza.

"Rest comes after work, and so far I'm still not finished with my duties." She stated but was unable to hide her fatigue. She turned to face him and gave him a soft smile, "I'll be fine, Captain."

The senior didn't believe a word of it. He placed a strong hand on her shoulder and looked into hers eyes with his deep brown ones.

"You need to rest. Cheza will be fine. I have more sentries guarding this place than Darcia has around his trust fund."

Cher chuckled slightly at his joke and after all the hours of battling, sleepiness won. Her tensed muscles loosened up a bit as she sighed and nodded reluctantly. "I suppose you're right. I won't be able to record the right information if I'm half-asleep."

Captain nodded and helped her up to her feet. "Come on, I'll walk you out of here. Don't worry about locking up, I got that covered." He assured her, letting her grab her belongings and led her out of the chamber.

They chattered a bit as they walked to the exit of their secret hide out. Captain punched in the pin number on the lock at the side of the metal doors and watched as they slid open. Cher turned to him and gave him a worried look. Captain sighed and gently pushed Cher out. "Your flower maiden is in good hands for the night. Trust me when I say that."

The elegant female nodded again and began to walk away, waving goodbye at him. As she watched the doors close, her train of thought went back to Cheza. For some reason, she felt like something bad was going to happen. Sleep overcoming her, Cher turned around and continued walking, her new goal was now to rest.

Captain strolled around the gigantic laboratory, securing the place, before heading back to Cheza's chamber. Trusting in his troops, Captain simply poked his head in and took a look at the flower maiden in her sleeping form. His eyes traveled to the cables connected to the crystal sphere containing Cheza, and made sure that they were still properly intact. With that done, he closed the doors again and walked off.

He himself needed some beauty sleep. The only reason he had stayed so long in the laboratory was because of Cher. He knew that if somebody hadn't told her to leave, she would've stayed up all night and morning besides Cheza.

But he was sure that nothing would happen. His laboratory so secured he was positive a raccoon would fail in sneaking in. Whistling down the halls, Captain told his groups of soldiers to retreat home. Without any second thoughts, the soldiers gladly obeyed his orders and deserted the place.

Captain was the last one out and as he leisurely walked to his car, he felt so positive that nothing would go wrong inside his empty scientific castle. That nothing could ever go in.

He left out one little detail: Something could definitely go out.

Something in Cheza stirred, she couldn't tell the differences between her memories and her dreams. One moment she was floating away in happiness, the next she was reminiscing a sad moment. All that had Kiba in it. Deep inside her, she felt sorrow, worry, depression. Feelings that were not her own. Her emotions lingered with those of her loving wolves and with all of them combined, Cheza's soul burned with desperation. Slowly, the flower maiden's heart began to thump loudly, mixed with her own voice inside her mind.

Kiba..this ...one is...coming. Her eyes snapped open at the last word and caused a crack in her glass containment. "Kiba." Her awakening made the automatic program sustaining her go haywire.

A loud, sole, alarm went off; a red light went flashing on and off as the system reversed itself and began to drain out the water inside Cheza's glass tank. As the water level lowered, Cheza looked around to see if any of the soldiers were coming. Not at all worried about the consequences of being caught dismantling herself, she waited patiently as the glass sphere now began to crack and finally shatter. The suspensions holding her clicked open and let her fall.

Cheza landed gracefully on her feet and without wasting any time, she walked out of the chamber, ignoring both her wet attire and the alarms going off. She stopped in the middle of the long, deserted hall and looked both ways, unsure of why the guards nor Cher weren't coming for her.

But that didn't matter now, she needed to get to the others fast.

She plodded down the hallways, her intuition leading her. She brushed her fingertips against a wall, leaving traces for a purpose. This one is coming Kiba...She chanted over and over in her head, feeling like it was time for her to save him in return all of the times he saved her. She made turns, right and left, for what seemed like hours but finally reached the exit of the lab. Cheza made a right, still leaving her damp trace on the walls, and stopped halfway.

She placed her arm down, stopped brushing her fingers on the wall, and turned around. The clever girl tiptoed to the exit, making sure she wouldn't leave her footsteps behind, and placed her hand on the lock, emitting a glow. Within moments the doors opened up, freedom calling Cheza.

Without looking back, the flower maiden walked out with no map, no direction, and no one to help her. But she had everything she needed: A destination, a reason, and a person waiting for her return.
