Selena, Torn, and Blade made their way to a back alley, inconspicuously. With what they had witnessed, they were speechless. A suffocating silence hung above them like their own personal storm cloud. They walked behind there until they found a door with a symbol on it. It opened. They sat there, stiff, for what felt like forever, until Torn made the first step inside. It was small and cozy with a couple bunk beds.

"Hello?" Torn's voice questioned apprehensively. Blade and Selena felt uncomfortable, never seeing their brother this scared.

"What!" They heard someone growl. "Who dare enter the underground!" The voice boomed. Selena flinched at how angry the voice sounded. Then a little man appeared in front of them with an impatient glance. "Well...?" The man asked.

"Um...Sorry to bug you, but my sister and my brother, and I need a place to stay. The Baron killed our mom and is now on the hunt to kill us." Torn's eyes were consumed with hopelessness.

"The Baron did what?! He is always up to no good. That is why we have the underground, a small but differentiating force that fights against the Baron to expose him for what he really is, scum. A tyrant. A coward." He paused stroking his beard. He was about five foot or four foot nine and he looked a sickly green. He had glasses that made his eyes seem to bug out and his hair was white. On his head held a log with a nest that contained an egg. "You are only allowed to stay if, IF, you join the underground." Selena, Torn, and Blade exchanged approving glances and nodded in unison.

"Ok old man, you got yourself a deal." Torn said with a cocky attitude, as usual.

"Any signs of them yet?" The Baron asked Erol.

"Not yet, Praxis. But we are keeping a very sharp eye on them." Erol said as sadness consumed his voice. As soon as Torn left in charge of the command, Erol was to resume himself as commander of the KG. Believe it or not, He really did love Selena, and thought of the Baron's request as a way to speed things up. The reason why the Baron wanted them to get married was because offspring. He assumed that their children would be powerful, more powerful than both of them together, and more lethal. Now that she was gone and obviously, never coming back, he tried to go on his life as if she never existed. (Who's he kidding.) It has been two weeks since they were last seen, and they were the very first on the Baron's list. Even though Erol tried to forget about her, he wanted to find her and hide her. He didn't care what happened to her two brother's, as long as Selena was safe in his arms in secrecy.

"Here drink some water, Selena. It might take down your fever." Samos the Sage offered. He was the little green guy, or also known as the shadow. She retched in the bucket once more, her face looking as green as Samos. She took the water and chugged it.

"Thanks." She gasped. She had no idea why she was sick. She had never gotten this sick in her life. "Where's Torn and Blade?" She clutched her stomach.

"Torn is out fighting some metal heads on the west side and your brother, I sent him out to get a special herb plant that might help you, dear." He said, patting her head. Ever since Selena had been here, he treated her like she was his daughter. She felt good having a father figure around. "Do you want..."

"Hold that thought..." She interrupted, once again grabbing the bucket and puking her guts out. She groaned in agony. "How much more do I have to take. I feel like I am dying."

"Hopefully Blade can get the flower and I can extract the potent herbs that may help you, hon." Samos explained.

"Yeah well he..." She was interrupted by the door sliding open. It was Blade with the flower he had asked for.

"Got it." He smiled a cocky smile just like Torn. Selena couldn't help but snicker.

"I'll take it and see what I can do with it." Samos said, walking away.

"How are you feeling, sis?" Blade asked Selena. Selena replied by throwing up in the bucket...again. She coughed.

"Fine." She said sarcastically.

"It shows." He said smiling a 'I-hope-you-get-better- smile-and-you're-not-fooling- anybody-cause-I-know-you-feel-like-shit' smile. He reached in his pocket and pulled out some pills. "Went to the store and bought you a Tylenol. Its your every pain reliever." He said with a hint of sorrow, that is what their mother always used to say to him.

"Thanks. You know The Shadow does not allow medication because he is the medication." She warned as she swallowed the two pills. Blade raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, a crazy pill if you ask me." He chuckled. He was joking. He knew that Samos was an extremely good guy, that is unless you piss him off. Then he pulled out another pill. "Here. I got some Midol too. It helps from bloating, fatigue, cramps, and abdominal pain." He said in a woman like voice.

"Oh no." Selena whispered.

"Oh yes!" He joked, but by her expression she was definitely not joking. "What is it?"

"I'm late!" She cried. "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

"Late for what? Is there a party or something?" Blade asked quite dumbfounded.

"No I'm late." She said emphasizing the late.

"Huh? I'm...not following you." He said, feeling left out. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I am late for my period..." She paused waiting for him to continue.

"Yeah...so..." He asked in the 'what's-the-big-deal' tone.

"Wow, mom didn't even have that conversation with you?" She paused. "When a woman is late for her period it usually means that she is pregnant..."

"Oh my God! Who knocked you up?" He said with a bit of humor and a lot of worry.

"Never mind that right now. All I need to do is find Samos and tell him the reason why I am so sick..." Selena grabbed her stomach and felt the tiniest kick and she jumped a little.

"What are you going to do?" He asked, hazy.

"I think I am going to 'get rid of it'." She suggested. They both stood there in silence, not knowing what is going to happen.
