"Two things." Ash said.

"The first piece of information is that I know why your daughter's acting like she is." he continued.

"The second one is that I know of a temporary solution." he went on.

"I'll tell you the first one first." he then said, pausing for a moment to briefly reflect on what he said... before shaking his head slightly.

"Anyway." he muttered.

"Vanessa's at it again, and she's found a way to infiltrate and corrupt the bond between familiar and owner." he informed her. "So familiars are now essentially remote access points for her control." he lamented.

Because of course she is. Anna growled, making sure to project it.

That bitch is an elf. WHY is she forsaking the natural bond? Fucking hell. She followed this up with some lanthan curses, something that he likedly hadn't heard from even Rene for quite awhile.

What's part two? She then asked. IF you can help Lily not be a little bitch, that'd be lovely

Ash paused for a moment, looking around.

"Right." he said.

"I can help. I know where you all can go for some protection." he told her.

"It's the San Diego branch of the Unit. You know, where Kiah works." he then said further, before stepping closer towards her.

"I... listen, I don't want anyone to hear this, or possibly tap into telepathy, so I'll whisper it to you." he continued, getting close enough and putting his mouth to her ear, cupping his hands in such a way that the sound wouldn't travel.

He then whispered to her why the Unit would be safe, before stepping back.

"Yes. I'm serious." he finished.

Anna was completely silent, not entirely sure what it was that she was to make of this information.

Excuse me? She asked, her voice more than a little stunned.

"I mean what I said." Ash responded.

... Right then. How would we get there, then? Is there a specific order of operations or whatever?

"I'll call Hollie." Ash responded.

"She'll then tell Agent Sharp, the head of the place, who will tell his head of security to expect you." he told her.

"It helps that they're an item now." he chuckled.

"Are all of you going?" he then asked.

"Which is to say, you, Andrew, Lily, and Luke?" he clarified.

"Just so there's no hiccups." he reasoned, taking out his phone.

Anna nodded.

Yeah. Might as well have us all go. She answered.

If only just because of the fact that it would honestly be better to keep us together, probably. Lily's a bit of a loose cannon at the moment. She added.

Thanks, Ash. He could hear the gratitude in her mental voice, nevermind the fact that she actually thanked him.

Ash just smiled a little.

"No worries." he responded.

He then dialled Hollie's number and greeted her when she answered.

"Hey, listen, the draydins need to hole up in the Unit in San Diego. It's... currently a bit of a sanctuary there, and I can't say why." he told her.

"Trust me on this, though." he continued.

"Anyway, can you tell Agent Sharp to expect the 4 of them, so his security team knows?" he asked.

"I get the feeling I'm already in a bit of trouble for directly sending someone in there myself, earlier..." he admitted sheepishly.

Hollie just laughed lightly.

"Yeah, of course." She assured him.

"Send them in about an hour." She added after a second or two.

"I'll make sure that Hal is aware and the like." She finished with before they said their farewells and she called Sharp.

"Hey babe." She greeted once he answered.

"You got space for a few acquaintances of mine to hide out there for a bit?" She asked

Ash hung up the phone and looked at Anna.

"An hour." he told her. "Make sure you have everything you'll want or need in that time." he said.

Meanwhile, Hal sighed lightly as Hollie asked her question.

"We always have space." he told her.

"I'll need to know about these acquaintances of yours, though."{/b] he then said. [b]"How many there are, what sort of mana they have, their reasons for needing this place..." he listed.

"...or, actually, I'll ask them myself." he then said.

"What are they, and what do they look like?" he asked, simplifying things.

"So Jake will know what to expect."

"There are four. Two females, two males. Mom, Dad, and two kids." Hollie answered.

"The kids are teens, too." She then said after a moment.

"Beyond that, Mom has her lips stitched shut. You can't mistake her. I think Dad'll have shades on, but he may not." She then finished.

"Oh, their names should be given." She added before outlining all that.

Hal wrote down what Hollie said, and nodded to himself.

"I'll pass the info along to Jake." he said.

"I'll make sure there are dorms set up for them as well." he added.

"Also, I'll see to it that they have visitors passes and such." he went on, before pausing.

"Give me... 45 minutes or so to have that all done." he then informed her.

"Unless they need it urgently."

"No worries. Already told them to give me an hour before hading out." Hollie told him honesly.

"If there was an extention needed, I would just call Anna." She then said after a moment or two.

"I don't have much more information as it stands, sorry."

"You gave me enough." he responded.

"I'll ask them more when they get here." he told her.

Sure enough, the time came, and the draydins were ready to teleport there.

"All right." Andrew said.

"Everyone got all they want to take with that?" he asked.

"....yep." Luke responded, sounding a little on edge.

He was nervous to be around his sister, as he was unsure if she would try and hurt him.

Lily was standing with her weight on one leg, her arms crossed, and her hands grasping the opposite arm tight enough her nuckles were white, and a bit of blood was flowing due to her nails breaking through the material and her skin.

I think we're good. Anna answered with a light mental sigh.

After all had confirmed, they were encircled by a twist of vines. When they fell way, they were in an entry area that was new to all of them.

Almost instantly, Anna seemed to be on alert... but not in a bad way. She was looking around, not sure where what she could sense, feel, was coming from.

They hell....? She wondered, keeping it to herself this time as Lily stepped up to the desk.

"Yo. Was told we're expected?" She said, half asked, as she leaned on the surface.

Andrew was on alert as well... but he seemed to have a slightly less degree of knowing and understanding as Anna.

Meanwhile, the one behind the desk lowered his newspaper.

"Cole family, party of 4?" he asked with a smirk.

"That's us." Andrew responded.

Lily then watched as Jake's forked tongue darted out of his mouth a few times.

"Ah, draydins." he commented.

"Makes sense." he said further.

"I'll get someone to escort you to Agent Sharp's office." he then informed the family.

"Half." lily commented before being lightly whacked upside the head.

"Not information to share so freely, brat." Anna snapped, making her daughter could hear it. Lily just shrugged, not seeming to care. She realised that there was safe, and that information should be accurate - so she said what she did.

One thing that the three did notice though, was that already, almost immediately, thr teen was far less.... Volatile than she had bee. Even five minutes ago. And that was most certainly a welcome change.

Jake raised an eyebrow when Anna smacked Lily upside the head.

"Right." he said.

"I can tell." he told her.

"I just went with what seems to be most prevalent." he went on, before buzzing someone.

"Hey, someone to security checkpoint ASAP. Need an escort." he said into it.

"Got it." someone responded, before he let go of the button.

"So." Andrew commented. "Are you a Ramaarin?" he asked Jake.

"In the flesh." Jake confirmed.

"You're a rarity." L;ily commented.

"There're what, about fifty on this continent?" She asked after a few seconds.

["Ignore her." Anna half growled to Jake.

"She doesn't know when to shut up, sometimes." she added, reminding him of someone else he knew.

Jake couldn't help but laugh at the exchange.

"She reminds me of a friend of mine." he said.

"They'd get along." he told her. "Or try to kill each other." he went on, thinking about the logistics of that scenario.

"Regardless, I'm not as rare as one might think." he then said to Lily. "We're just REALLY good at hiding." he added with a wink, before they heard tapping on the door to the Unit.

"I'm here!" Azazel said.

"He'll show you to Agent Sharp's office." Jake told the draydins, pressing the button and opening the door for them.

I'd rather she wasn't dead. although it might do her some good. Anna commented before they headed off with the one that had arrived - Azazel.

It didn't take long to reach their destination, and it seemthat Anna was distracted the entire time, as well. It was odd, but it wasn't entirely hard to detect the reason - it was because of the presence, the mana, that she knew was there.

When they were beckoned inside, she was silent - as wasn't too surprising - before they all were seated.

"... where the hell are they...?" she wondered, looking around - and not entirely realising that she'd projected it.
