Xqulth: Okay I'm back…lucky me I know the vent systems well. *Glances over at Reiley and Dusty tied together on a chair* Well I own nothing, just my little character. I thank you all so much to all that review and PM me. I take your considerations and bribes to heart.

Sitting in my cold, damp, dark cell in the dungeon of Capricorn's church, I realize something. My life is a living hell. Basta and Capricorn, who insist on calling me that infernal nickname are the reason too. Leaning my head against the wall I remember back to the day when I got the name dove.
Flashback
I didn't understand it. Why did we have to leave? I didn't want to leave my home now. So begrudged I went into our trailer and sat down on my bed that I had claimed a while back. I lie down and fell asleep the instant my head hit the pillow.
I woke up without the dull hum of the motor. Looking up and through the windshield I saw Mo holding a frightened Meggie in his arms. Pulling on my gray hoodie I walked down the steps and stood next to Mo. He glanced down at me and made a gesture with his hand that meant in our own military sign language, to retreat or go back. I shook my head and grabbed the said hand.
"What do we have here? Hmm, looks like a little dove. I think that is what I shall call you. How does that sound dove?" Basta sneered with a chuckle.
"Now, now Basta, we are only here for the book so that Silvertongue can read us back to our home."
"I told you. There is no way to read you back into the book. I swear to you I have tried. Don't you think that I would if there was a chance I could get my wife back?" Mo answered truly.
"Mo. I can do it. I can read them back." I whispered to him.
Capricorn, Mo, and Basta looked at me. Capricorn advanced on me.
"And how, my little dove, yes Basta I like the sound of that, can you do that. You are but a little girl in a big world. What is the chances of you having as talented of a tongue as your father?"
"I- I read Toto out of The Wizard of Oz. I think I m-may be able to help you." I muttered the last part, Almost to myself.
"Really little dove? Then where is Toto?"
"I-I didn't think it was right to keep him where he didn't want to be so I freed him."
"Oh, Reiley, you didn't." Mo groaned
"I didn't want him to suffer Mo."
"Enough! I will take the girl and the book!" Basta reached for me but Mo grabbed me and put me behind him. Backing towards the door of the RV I saw Mo clench his fists in anger.
"NO! Your book took my wife; YOU will not take my daughter."
Mo pushed Meggie and I through the door and jumped in slamming the door shut. He went to the drivers seat, putting his foot to the gas he nearly ran them over as they stared.
End Flashback
Present Day
I hadn't realized it when my mind came back to the real world, but I was crying and someone was holding me. I turned my head to look around at who it was. Dustfinger.
"Apparently I wasn't important enough to get my own cell." He teased trying to lighten the mood.
"Apparently," I agreed. Wiping the tears from my eyes he smiled.
"I really didn't mean to do it. I just really wanted to get home." He said.
"I know, Dusty, I know." I said and leaned back against him closing my eyes and falling asleep to what I hoped would be dreamless.
