For the next couple of minutes, no one moved nor spoke. No one even breathed in the wrong direction either in fear of breaking the awkward tenseness that now settled above us like a cloud of smoke.

"Leilani." I spat,
"Huh? What happened to her?'' Caelum rasped out, his frown deepening as he turned to look at me. I almost bristled under his intense stares– almost, because I soon shook out of it and said;
"If Chalice can go through the trouble of causing a fire just to flee from her cell, then best believe, she's most probably after Leilani.''
