Keress sighed and ate.

"I don't know. I should not leave Keress right now. He's very upset over all this."

Serina sighed and took Haiden's hand.

Keress sat and poked at his food.

Haiden smiled and walked otu side with her. "What are you worrying about ?" he asked.

Victoria looked down at Keress. "Whats up BabyDoll ?" she asked.

Serina sighed as they walked the gardens. "Well, right now all is on my shoulders. It is not something I like but I must do. What if Dante attacks again. I am no strategist. I know nothing of the ways of war."

Keress looked at her. "I'm bored."

"There are people here who will help you Serina. You don't have to worry about that , No one will let you or keress or victoria to be hurt." he said.

Victoria Smiled. "Well then lets go do something , How about drawing ?" she asked.

Serina sighed and sat on a nearby bench. "I know that, but I can't help but be afraid. If anything happened I would not be able to forgive myself ever. "

Keress nodded his head. "Ok."

Haiden came and sat down beside her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "hey its ok to be worried , everyone does once in a while." he said.

Victoria smiled and stood taking keress's hand they walked out of the great hall

Serina sighed. "Yeah, I guess so."

Keress smiled up at her.

Haiden Smiled. "Take a deep breath and lets go for a walk near the river ." He said.

Victoria smiled as they went into a room. Sitting down she grabbed some paper and pencils. "What do you want to draw ?" she asked.

Serina sighed and stood up. "Sure."

Keress shrugged his shoulders. "Do no."

Haiden smiled and stood up taking her hand again as they walked.

Victoria smiled ."How about a dragon. Or a Di-" she said before she ran up heading to the bathroom to throw up.

Serina held his hand gently and walked quietly.

Keress watched her go and began to draw.

Haiden Just watched her as they walked.

Victoria had finshed throwing up and leaned back sighing. She felt ill all of a sudden.

Keress was worried and went to get his mommy. He spotted her with the man and ran grabbing her hand. "Sick."

Serina looked at him. "Keress who is sick."
