"Come on S.N, Mushu." Velvet said, grabbing Mushu's leash and tugging on it until he followed, going slowly to support S.N's weight on her left arm. Walking through the thick undergrowth, he groaned, realizing she had forgotten Peppermint and a Rosebud behind with Sonya. Whistling at them, she waited until the puppies bounded over and continued, letting S.N carry one of them to calm her down and ease the pain because a Peppermint was on her back in S.N's arms, licking her stomach. Laughing, they arrived at Sonya's house and Velvet called out. "Sephiroth? Are you there?"

SN sighed. Happy Velvet was helping, but still. She gladly looked down at the puppy. Hopefully the young fog wouldn't give her away to Sonya. She started to worry about in a couple of weeks. What would she do? She knew that she had medical complications. She probably wouldn't be able to do it naturally. She'd have to go to the hospital... No! She hated that place! She hated it.

Sonya sighed as she left the woods heading straight to town.She sighed sitting on a bench in town for a while before standing to do the errands needed.Sighing she walked towards the one person she needed to talk to,Weiss.Sighing she walked till she saw his house in view and walked to the front door.Knocking on it she sighed.

Josephine sighed as Dimitri left her alone.she didn't like it him, sighing she laid down on the couch as someone else soon came downstairs.

Cyrus smiled when he reached the bottom. "Hey, Josephine." He said and walked over to the couch. Josephine looked pretty nice, despite all the scars, though he bet that Josephine thought he looked pretty bad himself.

Josephine smiled."Hey cyrus.."she said curling up a bit more so he could sit down.She didn't mind him, he was a friend to her ever since he got here he tried to be nice to her considering their problem.

Sighing, Cyrus sat down beside her. "Life's hard, isn't it?" He said. "One day, we'll escape." He promised, though he wasn't very sure if this was a promise he could keep. "You miss your family...I know I do." He said. He had an urge to play with Josephine's hair.

Josephine nodded."Yeah...i miss my sister."she said. "bet my parents dont even know i'm gone...they're always traveling on jobs."she said

"I guess my parents are a bit like yours, then." He said, smiling and played with a strand of Josephine's hair. "And my sister is probably stuffing herself with candy!" He added. "You know, sometimes I wish this is all a dream. A bad, horrible, dream. A long one. But then, in dreams you don't feel pain..." He said, frowning for a moment and remembered when the Captors liked to whip them and all that.

josephine nodded."Yeah i know...."she said remembering the twisted nature of the captors.she never mentions to Cyrus about what Dimitri did when she tried to escape countless torture that it hurt to move where she felt like dying.

"For some reason, I feel like we're getting the most of it. Seems like the other newer captives get it more easy, for some reason." He said. It really did. The new people didn't get the punishments like they had. He remembered that one of the captives had screamed just because of Aztec's little magic trick! How pitiful. And him, getting 25 lashes from the whip and suffocation with a bit of hell made hot sauce. That was pretty bad. But he knew worse than that.
