The way the man reacted told the girls that this was the person they were looking for, that and he did confirm it. Noah let out a breath of relief; at least that's why he was near Eleanor, though she wasn't sure how the woman would have taken it if she woke up next to a person.

The two stood near each other near the doorway, just watching the taller male try to wake the other. It was kind of cute to watch, in a brotherly endearing way, but then Melik woke up. Noah and Nyx looked at each other, confused by the reaction and things only escalated from there. Melik started looking angry and the loose sand and dirt in the cavern started to spin up.

"Put up a wall, put up a wall, put up a wall," Noah cried to Nyx, pulling on her jacket. The woman already had that in mind as she moved towards the doorway, eyes trying to look in. With her palms facing out, water moved from her hands to seal off the door. "Darken it quick Noah, they can still see," the woman replied and the other complied. As the blonde's finger touched the water, it quickly flooded black in color, lie dye would take to liquid.

The men started getting louder, attacking one another. The two women had to focus on keeping the barrier up, but kept themselves close to it to keep from getting involved. But then, as quickly as it started, Fritz was beside he male, coddling him. The words they said to one another confused the two women, clearly this had something to do with their past and with as new to the facility as Melik was, it wasn't all that surprising that he still had connections outside.

Noah looked over at Nyx; concern was laced in her sight, but the blonde was confused. If this guy, this alien guy, clearly powerful, knew where his friend was this whole time, why not break him out? She then looked at Melik; was it likely that he was the same thing as this new guy or did he some how have friends that didn't belong in this world? Such a concept wasn't too far fetched for the woman who's family was killed by demons, the same creatures she could now devour.

As the woman tried to figure things out in her head, it was almost like the two men figured that out and turned their attention to them. Melik began to explain their history, though it didn't make sense for the outburst of anger the two had just then. In fact, it made more questions for the taller woman instead. So, Melik got caught, put in the facility and the girl he liked worked there? The woman's memories flashed to the night she met the boy that had proposed to her as a kid; was Melik a lucky one to be reunited with such a person? When he spoke of the explosion, Noah felt her heart drop. Unlike she, he had not only not given up on finding that person, but did manage to find her, he found her only to lose her. The woman's hair was growing more blue as she thought of it; she pulled her eyes away from the group.

As she did, her eyes fell back to the remaining cots. She blinked a few times, confused. "Where's Eleanor?" She asked Nyx, but the woman was too preoccupied by the man that had appeared next to her.

Nyx stared up at Fritz as he stood beside her; he was the reason Melik was caught? He next confession brought a panicked breath to the water woman; Noah's hair started to turn black, though it wasn't just because of the woman beside her. They had a captor with them, her and Nyx and trapped themselves with him. This man who had spoken with her and had done her no harm for how long in those woods, he was one of those responsible for taking people into the facility?

The water woman broke her gaze away, her eyes locked on the floor. "What have I done," she whispered, her voice wavering. She had put them all in more danger; death would have been more pleasant that the beast she brought in to them. What if he had companions? What if they knew where he was? What if she led them all to their hideout she had taken so long to find?

Her face was jerked upward, her aqua eyes wavered on the verge of tears as she stared up at the man. She had nothing to say to what he told her. She just stared up at him, her heart aching, her body feeling numb. Her hands fell, the water wall wavering without the support of her energy, but still holding on from Noah's power flowing within it.

"Nyx," the woman cried, her eyes falling from the man to her friend. "Nyx, we really need to you keep this thing up. We can't let him near the others." But the woman didn't respond.

In the confusion and events going on, Eleanor was awoken by the sound of yelling me and the clattering of cots being thrown. She opened her eyes, the dull olive orbs locking on Melik and someone she didn't recognize, to the side was Noah and Nyx who were putting up a wall to keep the others from watching what was going on. The brunette slid from her cot and crawled until she was behind one of the ones that had been thrown. There, she sat and listened, listened until she heard this guy admitting to being the reason that Melik had been captured.

Darkness began to swirl around her left arm as the woman grew angry. Someone let this guy in here and he was dangerous; he was the cause of so much misery and death to those that didn't deserve it. Eleanor could hear Noah's panicked calls to Nyx and when Nyx didn't respond, Eleanor looked back. The woman, though she seemed to get on Eleanor's nerves, was near tears and the put the woman over her boiling point.

Jumping over the cot, the woman rushed the taller male; the darkness had solidified into a massive shield nearly as tall as she, though unlike the armor, this didn't flow, it was solid. She threw it and her weight against it, bashing into the male. Hardened olive eyes glared at the male as she said, "Then we might as well take out the one we have so we can spare the lives of those that you could ruin next."

Darkness quickly swirled around her right arm and shoulder blade; a massive blade forming in its place, the same obsidian color as the shield. "I'm not even going to give you the option of being able to walk out of here and sparing your life. Not when you so willingly damned so many more to a fate worse than death."

Without looking over the woman said, "Get yourself together Nyx and strengthen your wall. We don't want the others to worry about what's going on in here more than they are."

Nyx jumped at the sound of her name, her dull gaze fell over to Eleanor and she nodded. Turning her back completely to the two men and Eleanor, the water woman rose her hands again, the water ceased its wavering.
