Kiba held her carefully as she collasped and put her back on her bed so she could sleep.

Her eyes opened as she felt herself being lifted. She whimpered, "Please tell me it was wrong, Kiba, it wasnt true"

"I won't know until you tell me what you saw. But if it helps, It will never happen, it wasn't true." He said sincerly.

She sat up, shaking her head. She was shaking all over. "Seema... and Koatia... they found the prison. They had my pendant, they were breaking through the stone seal... and then all three of them, Hayashi too, they were here, in the den. Seirei thought they were coming for the cubs, and then, Hayashi and Koatia attacked him. Seema just stood there, she didn't even try to stop them, just stood and watched, then restrained me when I tried to stop them. And then the basket, in the corner, the cub basket, all I saw was it empty" she whimpered

Seirei had been dashing through the forest, collection dead branches off the floor so that the path was clearer. Keeping the collected debris curled up in his tail and one of his wings, he headed down the entrance way to his home, pushed open the door and dumped the massive pile of wood on the floor in one corner. He looked up, panting, to see Kiba and Tersias by the bed. Both looked shattered, sweat was trickling down Kiba's face. He suspected by the lack of blood that he had been training. But Tersias looked even paler than she normally was.
She was lying on the bed, looking quite feeble, not herself, as if she wasn't in the room. He hurried over to her side and knelt down next to her.
"Tersias? Tersias? Kiba what happened?"

Tersias was shaking "I had another vision" she whispered "Seema's with Koatia, and they're gonna break Hayashi out and..."she was hyperventilating "They want the cubs" she squeaked, struggling to breath again.

"More than likely, Seema wants the cubs, though I should probably go check on Hayashi, just to make sure. Seirei, you stay here and make sure nothing happens to Tersias, though I don't have to tell you that do I?" Kiba started walking out of the room. "This is moving quicker than I thought."

Seirei looked at Kiba and nodded briefly before turning his attention on his trembling mate. He sat up on the bed beside her, his left wing curled around her and rocked gently to and fro, humming that same lullaby he had sung to her before, the calming melody that he only shared with her.
"Hush my Tersias can't you see, No one's gonna touch our fa-mi-ly, Cos if they try to break our hearts, Their gonna have to answer to the wrath of me..."

"You dont understand" she whispered, her voice trembling "You were there, Koatia and Hayashi went for you, and I couldnt stop them cos Seema was holding me back, and they were so strong, and there were two of them and one of you and..."

"Did you see what happened after that?" Kiba asked. "If not, then there is still hope."

"Darkness" she said quietly "And an empty basket, and I knew there was something missing, and it broke my heart that it was gone. I think it was the cubs' basket."

"So they could still be saved. I will fortify your house more tightly then the prison Hayashi is in. It would also help to move it, even a quarter mile could be helpful."

And that was when she realised "Seema!" she gasped "Kiba, she knows where EVERYTHING is! They could wreak mayhem with her on side!" she looked horrified "And she watched you build the prison!"

"No, she didn't watch me, but I did give her a few details about it. Most of which will be useless. And so I ask Seirei if I can move a few things around."

Seirei didn't like the sound of Kiba's plan to move his home, the tree was a part of him, he had chosen it from the very first day he had arrived. He gestured towards the pile of wood he had brought in.
"I'm going to build a wall of wood on the left side of the tree, but move a few large bushes around it to make it look like it was naturally formed. It's a start to the defences I plan on adding to make our home safer. Kiba, I appreciate your idea to move our home, but I do not think that it will be necessary."
He turned his head sharply in Tersias' direction, but he wasn't surprised.
"Seema's heart has grown darker and darker since I first met her, it is no wonder that she has gone to the other side"

"As you wish Seirei, though since I am here, maybe I should make the extentions and maybe a saferoom?"

"Are you sure we're ok to stay here?" she asked Seirei quietly "It's not that I doubt your judgement, but... they know where we are, and the cubs... I mean, Seema's already made it quite clear that she would stoop to hurting them if she got the chance to..."
Brightening up suddenly, she licked his nose "Still, if you're sure it's safe here then we'll be ok" she managed a smile. "I wonder how many of them there will be" she said wisftully to herself, "A family all of our own, Seirei, can you believe it?" she snuggled into him.

Seirei smiled in gratitude. "That would be extremely helpful Kiba, thank you. I know." he grinned widely, glad that Tersias was brightening up. "Our own little family. "Tersias, would you spoil me and stay in here for a little while whilst I make a start on the wall outside?"
He walked over to the pile and started to pile up the larger branches on top of his back, and headed for the door.
