"His name is Salem. He was the one who poisoned Carly, but he's been a good asset to them since he defected." Deanna said. Deanna had cried when she had been told about her sister nearly dying.

Thalia nodded in understanding, knowing that if her younger brother was hurt how bad she would feel. "But she's safe now, and that's what matters, right? I bet Uncle Morpheus gave him a punishment that would be hard for him to do because of it," she added, hoping that would cheer Deanna up, at least a little bit.

" Yep it does. I hope he did but I'm worried about Eve. She's been a good friend to Carly these last few weeks." Deanna said and hoped that she could help Eve in anyway she was able.

"I think Uncle Morpheus gave her a simple punishment, although I'm not sure exactly what it was," Thalia replied as they got closer to where Dea was working.

Deanna nodded and hoped she could help Eve with what ever her punishment was.

Eve woke up and smiled. She was glad to have had a good nights sleep after all the nightmares she had had. Eve knew that she would work hard to get herself a Bishie, wanting to keep the nightmares away.

"Do you want me to ask what their punishments are, next time I see Uncle?" Thalia asked, having a feeling that Deanna would want to know.

Salem woke up after a fitful night's sleep, glad that he didn't have anymore nightmares to deal with...for now anyways. 'Still though, I have to come up with a way to help Eve...' he thought to himself, wondering what to do. 'Well...the first thing I can do is ask what her punishment is, if she'll let me know,' he thought before getting up and heading into the restroom to take a shower and change into his clothes.

"Could you please? I want to help both Salem and Eve as much as I can. " Deanna said as they arrived at work. She clocked in and sat at the front waiting to greet prospective trainers and holefully be challenged. Their policy was if a new trainer wanted to wave the entrance fee , they could challange the receptionist. If they won, they could go in free, but if they lost, they would need to pay the fee. Not many people had used that policy but Deanna hadn't been there long.

Eve had finished getting dressed and smelled the cinnamon rolls that Carly and Max were making. She smiled and went to greet her friends.

Thalia grinned lightly, glad that Deanna cared for her sister's friends and promised that she would ask for her the next time she met with her uncle. She watched Deanna clock in and then set at the desk, helping trainers new and old get settled in. She had heard about the policy for new trainers and wished that some of them would ask to fight Deanna, but she had a feeling that it wouldn't be happening today since they were still new.

As Salem got out of the shower, he smelled the Cinnamon Buns that Carly and Max were making. He was glad that the two forgave him after he healed Carly, although it took Max a little while to trust him again. 'Eve said something about a punishment. I know what mine is, but I wonder what Eve's is...' he thought to himself.

"Morning Carly. " Eve said with a smile. She loved the smell of cinnamon rolls. " Smells heavenly in here. " She said with a smile.

Carly giggled lightly at what Eve said and thanked her. "It's an old recipe of my mother's," she said, hiding her sadness at her mother's mysterious disappearance from her friend, hoping that Dea would call her later with some news about it. "Morning Sleepyhead," Carly said to Jean once she came into the kitchen, a small smile forming on her face as she said it, remembering how her mother always greeted them with that in the morning.

Eve laughed but was saddened by friend's sudden silence. She would ask Carly later if everything was alright.

Salem headed out to the kitchen, following the heavenly smell of what most likely was cinnamon buns. It was a rare treat for the soldiers back at headquarters to get any good type of breakfast, mostly settling for things like cereal, toast or bagels. Once entering the kitchen, he smiled lightly as he saw Eve and greeted all three of the ladies in there. "It smells like heaven in here Carly," he said.

" Thank you.It The should be ready in a few more minutes. Then they need to cool a little before me and Max out on the frosting." Carly said with a smile.

"You're welcome," Salem responded before teasingly pouting at the fact he had to wait a little longer for the food, causing the ladies to laugh lightly.

Eve smiled. She hoped Salem would help her get a Bishie if she asked him, since she wanted to try to get one today. She was determined to get a Bishie within the two weeks and hoped to be a good trainer.

Salem wondered what Eve's punishment was, not sure if she wanted to tell him or not. He had a good idea of what would happen if he told her about his punishment. 'She would think I was crazy or something,' he thought to himself.

Eve wondered if Salem had been punished like she had and would ask him later. " I hope he doesn't think I'm crazy . I told him I wanted to look for a Bishie, but Carly and Max are the only ones that know about the dream so far." Eve thought to herself. She did like him, but was too afraid to tell him.

Salem noticed the look on Eve's face and wondered what was wrong. After breakfast, he promised himself to talk to her about everything...for better, or for worse.

" Cinnamon rolls are done!" Carly said and was glad that everyone was awake. She hoped Eve was alright and hoped her friend would get her Bishie soon.

Salem and the others heard Carly say that the cinnamon buns were ready and headed towards the kitchen. Based upon the smell alone, they knew that it would taste just as good as it smelt.

Eve thanked Carly and Max and sat at the table in the kitchen. She hoped she had enough courage to tell Salem about the dream.

Salem and the others thanked Carly and Max for breakfast. After finishing, Alex, Taylor and Simon helped clean up the kitchen. As they were doing so, Salem asked Eve if he could talk to her in private.

Eve nodded and followed Salem. She wondered if he had a dream like she had and hoped his punishment wasn't bad.

Once inside Salem's room, Salem closed the door so that he and Eve could talk without anyone overhearing them. "Eve...you remember when you told me about meeting the God of Dreams and the nightmares?" He asked.

Eve nodded. Did you meet the God of Dreams too?" She asked a little bit later. Eve hoped his punishment wasn't bad.
