" Woah! Two old friends finally met, huh?" Bella heard Sirena scoff, making both Cara and Bella turn towards her. Sirena looked at them and flashed them a teasing smile as she walked towards them.
"Is she not one of our friends?" Cara inquired as she looked at Bella with a smile. Hearing her, Sirena rolled her eyes and said, "Who wants to be friends with you freaks?"
"Who are you calling freaks, huh?" Bella glared at Sirena while the latter again rolled her eyes and answered, "You guys, of course! One carries a dead baby in her womb for centuries and another refuses to use her powers no matter what. What are you guys called, if not Freaks!"
Cara's head turned towards Bella with a snap and asked with widened eyes, "You...Are you pregnant? What dead baby? Huh?"
Bella threw a deadly glare at Sirena and then turned to Cara with a small smile, saying, "Hmm. Its a long story, we can talk again later. But, I managed to get my baby back to life." She then caressed her belly softly, looking up she saw Cara looking at her with complex eyes.
"What's with that look? Huh? Are you not happy with the news?" Bella raised her brows at Cara.
"Huh... Nothing... but, it must have been painful right..?" Cara whispered as she looked at Bella. She saw Bella's hand stiffen and felt a strange pain in her heart. She then moved and hugged Bella softly as she patted the latter's back, which sent a strange soothing feel to Bella's tormented soul.
Sirena smiled looking at them hugging and sighed in her heart. She then looked up at the starry sky and mumbled in her heart.
"Don't let the tragedy repeat this time. These guys suffered enough"

INSIDE SEDNA'S CHAMBER
Sedna's lashes fluttered like butterfly wings as she finally woke up. She rolled on the cot and blinked her eyes groggily as her eyes widened suddenly. Sedna's eyes widened as everything before she fainted flooded back into her awareness.
She sat up immediately, eyes still wide and filled with fear. Her frantic heartbeat slowly returned to normal when she saw her legs were normal and not some blue colored fish tail. Tons of questions flooded Sedna's brain as if a dam gate has been opened.
Before she realized it, a silent sigh escaped from her, and she looked around the room, looking for the others. Climbing out of the cot, Sedna called out for the others as she frantically headed to the door.
Everyone who was outside the door turned and Vulcan immediately walked towards Sedna upon seeing her. His brows creased with worry as he walked towards her in a haste. However, Sedna tripped, and she fell in his arms knocking her nose on his sturdy chest.
"Ouch!" Sedna cried out, holding her nose as she glared at Vulcan, as if blaming his chest. Vulcan who received her glare, furrowed his brows in confusion.
"What happened? Does it hurt?" Vulcan asked, worried sick.
"Of course, it hurts!" Sedna uttered. " Its all because of you."
Her words confused Vulcan, and he held her shoulders as he bend and looked at her nose. Her cute little nose turned red because of their collision and she was glaring at him with tear filled eyes.
" But, its you who threw yourself on to me." Vulcan smiled looking at her pouting lips.
Sedna's eyes widened at his accuse and stomped her heel on his feet. " That's because I tripped. Who wants to hug you?" Sedna shouted as she glared at him. This man! How can he be so annoying? What a waste of his beautiful face! Sedna thought in her mind as she looked away gritting her teeth.
Vulcan looked at the sulking woman and sighed softly. He then patted her head saying, "Fine! Fine! Its my fault. Alright?"
His words melted Sedna's ire immediately and she nodded at him with a smile hiding in her eyes. Both of them looked so flirtatious but, Gabriel and Roose behind them had different expressions on their face. One was filled with rage while the other was filled with amusement.
"If you are done flirting, can we go check on Cara? Gabriel's words brought them out of their reverie.
"Cara's not inside." Sedna said and Gabriel frowned. He then looked around and his gaze settled in a direction as if he sensed his lover.
" I could feel her presence over there." Gabriel pointed his finger at a chamber and started walking in that direction quickly, with others walking behind him.
They saw Cara talking to someone and Gabriel quickened his pace when he sensed the presence of the other women. Gabriel sensed Bella and Sirena's presence and he quickened his steps even more.
