The break in

"How long were we out?" Steel questions aghast changing into a new dress, tossing her outfit to the corner, Clarence sits on the bed gawking down at the floor.

Steel places her hand on his lap, he looks up at her taking his gloves off before touching her face; they nuzzle, "I have my duties Lady Steel...take care."

She holds her hand out to him, a lingering feeling of emptiness rests buried inside of her, "You never want to stay with me..." She says examining her small room, he gingerly slips his gloves back on ignoring her words.

Clarence makes his way to the medical bay helping Doctor Carol clean the small rooms where a stretcher is barely fitting; there is enough room to just have tools and standing room to do examinations.

It is split into three separate spaces just in case hence why the steel gate is outside the area, Alex is currently with Doctor Carol in the third room.

Christian is sitting outside on the stool provided, no one not even Alice has been able to talk him down from waiting or resting in a different room.

Alice and Quinn are resting in the guest space together, Chara was in a different room all by herself; she had been crying a majority of the afternoon and had not come out once since then.

James is in the medical bay awaiting to be checked, "Sorry about that James."

He is still unable to verbally communicate, in the other dimension he at least could talk freely; Doctor Carol does a usual check-up, "James..."

Hearing his name he perks up, "We will figure something out okay?"

Looking down, kicking his feet he gets up to leave he picks a sound up bolting to Alex's room, Doctor Carol follows.

The small window is smashed in, someone sits in the window seal holding Alex; his body limps in his arms while blood drips from his neck.

He hops off darting to the wire gate smashing through it with raw strength alone Christian jumps up going after the intruder, "Why are you holding my master!" He shouts, Doctor Carol stands by observing.

Running through the maze that is the hallway, they dart through the crowd, the visitor pushes through spiriting away Christian's master to only open the main doors to find Edwin placing his gloves in his large bag to his side.

A bright smile on his face, patting the side of Alex's face, "He is perfect..."

Christian only growls in response, "Perfect for what?" he asks, Doctor Carol catches up to Christian, Edwin, and Joseph.

Another tall man comes out from behind who is dressed in a burlap tunic, there are slits going down both downsides, his pants navy blue harem pants.

A large sword to his side, "You can not simply just barge in here!" Doctor Carol states Christian holds a stance against the new face.

"We can and just have old man!" He said holding his sword out to Doctor Carol's face, Clarence and Steel shoot out hearing the yells.

Alice peeks out from her room, Quinn follows, "Lady Alice...they got Master Alex..."

"Shhh, Quinn..."

Other residents line up against the walls as they all walk down the hall, standing in front of Steel and Clarence they only smile, "Let's go to the library shall we Steel?"

"My master if you please..." Christian asks, Joseph only walks by bumping into him.

"Shimon, please retrieve Alice," Edwin instructs.

In the library Edwin finds a seat to sit at with ease, patting the one beside him.

"Come Steel since I understand this is your compound," Edwin states, Steel prefers to stand in front of him, her face exploding with anger.

"You bring swords and literally are holding one of my co-clan members in your sick little hands and think I will want to talk to you now?" She shouts.

He pounces back up on his feet when Shimon enters with Alice struggling to free herself from his rough grip, taking the back of his sword butts it into the back of her neck, "Perfect the sword and its master, is this enough, Edwin?"

"We do not take members of my clan!" Clarence yells stomping his feet. Doctor Carol pulls multiple scalpels out of his double-lined coat aiming them straight at Edwin, Shimon swiftly pulls his blade out knocking each and every single one onto the floor.

"Sword! Master Alex!" Christian calls out to activate his cursed eye swinging his arms at Joseph pulling a hardened punch, Joseph catches his hand twisting it.

He buckles under the pressure, his bones could be heard popping the tighter he squeezes them together, "You are hardly worth my time Devil's Assistant..."

Clarence gawks at Christian in disbelief, "What do you plan to do with them?"

"To break them of course...I want that sword to fight the "The other Alice..."

"Other Alice?" Steel questions confused, "Why not ask for help instead?"

Edwin places his hand on his head laughing automatically turning to a frown.

"There is no time for weakling vampires like you!" Edwin replies snapping his hand, they evaporate into thin air.

"Master...Sword..." Christian says to himself.

Clarence turns to Doctor Carol, "How do we find someone who can vanish?"

"I am not sure...I am going to contact a friend Clarence..."

"I am not strong enough to fight for master...what do I do?" Christian spouts heartbroken to the two, they are amazed at how daft he has become.

"They came into my house and explained nothing...I will have my trackers out shortly!" Steel responds infuriated by their ruckus.

Doctor Carol and Clarence look at each other in confusion.

"Lady Steel is scary today..." Clarence adds.

"They do not know the wrath of Steel." Doctor Carol said with a smirk.
