Author's Note: I looked at the follows and favorites and nearly fell out of my chair! Omg. I love you guys.

Rena sat in her room, with her hands clasped tightly tightly together. She couldn't sleep. She wanted to get her friend away from Velder and as far as possible. But she couldn't fully understand what was going on.

"Eve is going to die."

Rena believed with all her heart that Eve was perfectly capable of defending herself but the elf couldn't shake off this horrible feeling. She wanted to go to the Nasod and hug her.

Think Rena. What could Raven possibly mean by that?

The Night Watcher furiously scratched her head. Her green eyes widened as realization hit her.

Could the Crow Mercenaries...

Rena bolted up and dashed quickly to Eve's bedchamber, her black boots loudly clacking against the cold marble floor. Slamming the doors open, Rena opened her mouth to shout but her usual instinct kicked in. Her mouth clamped shut and instead, she tip-toed in. Eve was sleeping soundly, faint sounds of her breathing could be heard as she hugged her pillow. Rena thought for the thousandth time, how could people possibly hate someone like her?

Wait. What was she even doing here? There was obviously nothing in the room that seemed suspicious. But the elf hesitated to go back to her room. She was uneasy and very on edge. Her shaky fingers wrapped around the handle of Erendil and she inhaled. Walking to the right side of Eve's bed, she sat down, her armor softly clanking. (A/N: I hope this is a word.).

She began slowly feeling at ease until she heard blankets shift. Rena felt Eve sit up and rub her eyes. The golden orbs of the Nasod peered down at her. In a sleepy voice, she said, "Rena...?"

"Hey Eve."

"It's the middle of the night...what are you doing here?" Eve brushed back her tangled hair and climbed down, placing herself next to her friend. Rena suddenly felt numb. Eve's body warmth was making her skin prickle. All her worry and fright seem to just take over as she unconsciously leaned against the Nasod.

"Is something wrong?" Eve blinked worriedly at her.

Rena couldn't possibly tell her. Instead, she smiled. Like she always did.

"It's nothing! I just felt a bit lonely. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Eve looked unconvinced but agreed. "Rena, why do you still have your armor on?"

"Hehee! I guess I forgot to take it off! I'll just borrow some of your clothes!" Rena giggled playfully.

Raven, I will not let you have your way.

Eve sat in her throne watching another innocent citizen get tortured. No matter how many times this happened, she could never stop her trembling hands. Folding them tightly, she cleared her throat.

"Enough. This isn't even worth my time. Out of my sight, trash." The guards nodded as they dragged the Ponggo away. Eve rubbed her temples and sighed. "How many times must I repeat this sadness..."

Rena smiled sadly. "As many times as we need to. For the kingdom of Velder. Would you like some tea?"

Eve nodded.

Rena poured her a cup of the hot liquid but didn't have any time to give it to her. Aisha ran in, out of breath.

"We...problems...BAD." She panted, her usual neat pigtails were so loose that they looked like they were going to fall out of their ribbons at any moment. She held up a worn and very old notebook and waved it around like a madwoman.

"And in English?" Rena raised in eyebrow.

"Crow Mercenaries!" She managed to exclaim. That got the elf and Nasod's attention. Eve's usual monotone look was quickly replaced with an alarmed one and Rena nearly dropped the teapot.

"What!?"

"My calculations say that the Crow Mercenaries are going to be launching an attack soon!" Aisha said. "They have been reforming under our nose and this time, they won't fall back so easily. They have gained assistance from Hamel!" She continued. "And Rena, you won't like this. Raven is the new leader!"

The sound of a teapot breaking into pieces echoed across the room. Rena staggered and gripped the arm rest of Eve's throne to keep herself from falling. "That traitor...is this what he meant!?" She hissed.

"Rena. Are you alright?" Eve began to stand up. The Night Watcher nodded, holding her arm up. Aisha tugged at her purple locks. "Ugh! Why didn't I realize earlier!? Stupid! Stupid!"

"Stop it." Eve said sternly. "I will deal with this myself. If it's Raven, then we have some hope."

"No, Eve. Raven has gone mad. I saw it with my own eyes, he's-" Rena looked pleadingly at her friend.

"We will not discuss this any longer. I will sleep on it."

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Eve's eyed snapped open. She sat up quickly.

It's not Rena...

"Who's ther-"

Someone grabbed her and pulled her out of bed. Flipping her, Eve's back slammed against the cold floor and a hand was clamped tightly on her mouth. Everything was a blur but when she opened her eyes, her saw herself staring at a pair of cold cerulean eyes. He held a pistol to her chest and spoke in a low voice.

"Speak and I'll shoot."
