Dreams of torture with fire and blood, serpent men carrying flame torches bringing pain and sorrow for Leila as she was tied to a wooden desk. Her heart however was now stronger...

As usual the slumber faded away, now under total control of her body she managed to stand up.

Leila stood straight out of bed like she would have wanted to do to escape the desk and the men with flame torches. She felt herself shiver at the thought of the fire's hot licks on her skin. Leila ran her fingers through her hair as her mind started to recall the events from the previous evening. There was a lot on her agenda today, between phone calls and hunting she had to take care of Cross, think about Cailina's offer for the branding and talk to Tantra. Her mind started to spin around her revelation of the night before as well it was so much to figure out, so many layers to unpeel.

First thing she had to do was take care of Cross so she resolved to get to it. She slipped her slippers on and left her room heading down the hall. She taped on his door once she reached it.

Leila went directly to Cross' room, there was Mary, standing under the door gate, looking with worried face something inside, may be Cross. As Leila approached she could hear the pain moans of Cross excruciating pain.
* MOANS OF PAIN *

Leila opened the door quickly, faster than she'd initially intended to. She stepped inside with a rushed pace and looked to the bed where she'd last left him.

"CROSS!?"

She rushed to his side to see what was going on.

There was Cross laying in his bed, eyes closed, rictus in his face with a mock of pain, surely yesterday when he was still focus and concentrated with the fight he was better, but now just waking up in pain seems that it got deeply into his nerves.

Unaware of Leila's presence he was just there with his teeth clashing trying not to scream...

Leila instinctively hopped on the bed carefully though so to not shake the bed too much. She activated awe and then eyes of the serpent to get his attention.

Leila was sitting trying to trigger her brand new power, but seems to requiere certain concretation instead of activation per haps looking in the user guide would help.

Leila concentrated with everything she could muster. She needed to take his mind off the pain. For him to think about her only. She searched deep inside and focused only on wanting all of his attention to be on her.

The overwhelming pain had Cross concentrated now within his own mind, his torned flesh and ripped guts were just too painful to bear. He didn't have any other perceptions or sensation other than pain at this point, not being able to perceive Leila when she was sitting next to him.

He wasn't responding. Leila cursed under her breath and went to measures she didn't want to have to take. She maneuvered he body on top of his carefully with he legs spread wide so she didn't touch him.

"Cross! It's Leila look at me and calm down!"

She screamed at him her eyes blazing blue staring at his broken face and single working eye.

Leila's eyes returned to their normal green but the scowl that was replaced with the serpentine blue was just as furious. Had he not already been in tremendous amounts of pain she would have slapped him. Here she was trying to help him and he couldn't get his mind or even his disfigured hand off her ass.

"My gods Cross you are incorrigible! I'm trying to nurse you back to health and you're still helping yourself out."

Leila shook her head and sat up though still on top of him. Her lips were upturned in a smirk but she made no attempts to move his hands or get off of him. She just brought her hands to her hips, making her look madder and sexier in the same motion.

"Put your hand down and tell me where your phone is buster."

She spouted off in a demanding tone.

Cross hand stayed in its position for a while, he evaluated his condition and position thinking. A second later it got down slowly, caressing her cheek just slightly.

Still smiling he said with half of his mouth
"It's ove there at the dess...k."

Leila tilted her head down and slowly let herself off of him, backing up until she reached the foot of the bed. She slid down and went to the desk. She sat herself down, not bothering to fix the robe if it moved and went through the contacts list to find his insurance agent Bob. She also took a few looks at what kind of contacts he had.

"I'm glad you're someone back to your old self. I'd thought about sleeping with you during the day but I won't be if I have to awaken to that nonsense."

She joked and waited to see his reaction before she hit the call button.

Mary was watching the scene from the door, she seemed somehow relief and jellows but polite enought not to say anything.

Cross' contacts were mostly girl names, with a few exceptions, among them Bob Agent.

Cross was just laying there, he was not smiling anymore...

Leila saw Cross' expression change and she brought the phone with her back to the bed, leaving the phone ready to dial the mechanic. She sat down on the bed next to his working hand and undid the knot of her robe. She let it fall open blatantly in front of him, hoping to cheer him up. One entire side of her body fell free of the robe, breast and thigh included. The other side was still playfully hidden away by the thin silk fabric. Finally she pushed the call button and lifted the phone to her ear.

Cross still with a serious face tries to sit on the bed with an expression of pain. Without allowing himself to be overwhelmed by it he says to Leila.
"Leila, I can call Stein if you want. He can bring blood easily, expensive, but easy indeed."

Leila waited on the phone for Bob to pick up. And shook her head.

"I'd like to at least try first Cross. Listen, if I am not back by midnight then you can call him. But I'm pretty sure I can get something for you."

She smiled holding his phone to her ear.

Phone picks up.
"Good evening"

"Hello,"

Her sweet voice rang over the receiver. While she shifted her weight on the bed to offer Cross a better view of her.

"My name is Leila, I am calling on behalf of an associate Cross. Am I speaking with Bob?"

"Cross? I'm sorry but I don't remember that name. Are you sure about this number?"

Cross looks at Leila into her eyes, and moves it side to side. That was not his public name.

"Oh. Hold on, please."

Leila puts the phone to her chest and says to Cross in a soft voice.

"Are you using any other alias that he may recognize?"
