Saetan looked at the girl. She had just gotten here, yet she was trying to find a way home already? "What did you say to bring you here?" he asked, his voice held a board tone that said that he didn't' want to be here.

"'Darkness is my guide to lead me home.' "She said, her voice as tiered as her eyes.

"Perhaps if you said the opposite, it would lead you home?" He asked, not quite understanding.

"If I am able to do that, I would want to bring back Em and Mike with me. We have no life there, well at least I don't." Elizabeth said as she leaned on the table again.

Saetan looked at her with little understanding. "What is a Life?" He asked, not sure he wanted to know the answer.

"A Life is something that you do physically, like travel, hang out with friends or go to parties, get drunk at a bar etcetera," Elizabeth replied, ticking off the things that other people did to do that. "I didn't' do any of that, all I did was sit at home and read."

"That sounds like a life to me." Saetan said, coming over to her side. She looked like she would need a friend through all this. He rubbed her back and her neck, where most of the tension seemed to be.

She sighed, and leaned into the touch at first. Then her eyes widened. A person that was not one of her friends was touching her! "Whoa! Time out!" She exclaimed standing up suddenly. She began to pace. "We don't even know each other that well!" She said, looking confused and blushing.

"Well, yes, but we could always fix that," Saetan replied as he came over to her. Her distress when he approached signalled something that he would not have thought. "You were hurt by a male weren't you?" He asked growing angry. "What did he do to you?"

Elizabeth looked at him with fear, trying not to think of what that male did, trying to clam down enough for her to think clearly.

It was then that Raziel, Duo and Heero entered the room.

"What's going on?" Duo looked at Saetan, anger in his eyes.

"I was trying to be friendly, but it backfired." Saetan replied.

"Even if you are the Consort's son," Raziel said eyes going ridged, "Do you believe that it was possible to lay off on the questions until after they were settled in?"

"The possibility didn't' come up at the time." Saetan said as he looked over to Elizabeth who was shaking. "Why don't we get you a healer's brew?" He suggested. Elizabeth nodded and came over to the group of males, standing closest to Saetan.

"He really was just trying to help." She tried not to flinch at the stares she was getting. "Can we go somewhere in the open?" She asked, looking around the room.

"Indeed we can." Saetan responded, leading the group out side into a garden area. There was a waterfall surrounded by a stonewall and a few statues.

"Now, what did the male from your home do to you?" Saetan said, once they were all settled, ignoring the glares that he was getting by the others.

"My family thought that I was mentally ill, so they sent me away to a place where they thought that they would be able to help me, but all the girls there were just being used by the males for pleasure. Some were still there; others had a far off look in their eyes. We were being beaten, drugged and... Raped," she said the last part quietly.

"Sounds like Briarwood," said Saetan.

"You know of Briarwood?" Elizabeth said looking at him with fear mixed with hope.

"We Know of Briarwood. It's a pretty poison," Saetan said, eyes remembering the tails that his father and aunt surreal had told him. "There is no cure for Briarwood."

"Yes." Elizabeth said with a wicked look in her eyes. "No cure what so ever."

"Were you..." Saetan started but trailed off.

"No, thankfully." Elizabeth quickly and quietly replied.

"Where are the gutter whores who almost did that to you?" Raziel asked. His eyes were glowing an eerie red, his body was shifting somehow.

"They are taken care off." Elizabeth said.
