"I got her to the street…" Evera trailed off, fear suddenly striking. "You don't think she didn't make it, do you?" There were no police around…maybe she…

Alice exhaled. "We can't be sure."

Evera thought for a long while. Finally, she said, steely eyed, "I have to go back."

"No, I'm going to go back. I'll look around and try to find her. If I'm not back in a reasonable amount of time, leave without me."

Evera's softened. "I can't let you do that. I've already asked so much of you. Either I go alone, or we go together," she said firmly.

(ok.)
Alice grit her teeth together. "Evera, no. It's too dangerous and attachment could be fatal if we have to confront Johan. Besides, I know him better than you do. I know how he thinks."

"I will not let you do this for me," Evera bit out in a low, tight voice. "Riley is my girlfriend. I sent her off. I put her in danger in the first place. It's my responsibility and I won't pin that on you."

"You're not pinning anything on me, I'm the on offering to do this, Eve."

Evera wouldn't waiver. "I know I seem weak –and useless." She took a deep breath to still her shaking. "But I will not let Riley suffer. I'll die first. So I'm going, and that's the end." She had already started to move back towards Johan's building.

Alice lost it. "Evera, I am not letting anyone else die if I have the option to stop it!" she shouted, throat constricting.

"You don't have the option," Evera said coldly, still walking away.

Alice took a deep breath to prevent herself from breaking down and strode after Evera. She caught up to her quickly, fueled by her worry. "We're not here to pick a fight, alright?" she reminded her in a shaky voice.

Evera nodded, still cold, still focused. "Right."

Alice noted the coolness. "Why are you annoyed, Evera?"

"We just wasted time arguing when we could've been getting her back," Evera snapped, her hands tugging at her shirt.

"You think I don't want to save her as much as you do?"

"I seriously doubt that," Eve said," not because I don't think you care –I know you do…It's just…" she fell quiet, her hands falling at her sides.

Alice looked over at her. "What is it?"

Evera wilted. "All of this. It's my fault. I put her in danger by investigating Johan, and then put her in more danger by sending her away. I thought I could protect her but I can't. I have a healing ability. I can't fight. But I'll give my life if it means saving hers."

Alice's expression softened. "I know what you mean, believe me." She paused. "The only reason Johan ever got to Matthew was because I was so obsessed with catching him that I didn't even realize my own son was in danger. But believe me, that determination will be all the fighting skills you need."

Evera smiled a bit, grateful. "Thank you for being here," She sighed. "Sorry I snapped at you. But I guess you understand."

//hey hey what’s going on

Alice nodded. "I'm not leaving until you and Riley are safe. And, I'm sorry for trying to stop you, but you have to understand where I'm coming from. People dying at Johan's hand is… something I'm afraid of. For obvious reasons."

//false????

//oh I was really concerned for a moment
