How coincidental.

Catherine took a deep breath and looked up at Jira. He was right; she had to get up, she wasn't going to die from this. Putting on a tough face, she nodded and stood up, pulling the crystal out of her. She leaned against the wall of a nearby building, still in pain, but she was hiding it surprisingly well now. She looked at the wound, blinking when it started getting smaller. Now that the crystal had been removed, it could heal. Being a vampire certainly had its advantages.

The blood stains probably wouldn't come out of her clothes, but that didn't matter right now. Looking around, distress came to her face when she didn't see Soahc. She looked around frantically, wishing she could do more. She didn't have heightened senses — yet, anyway — and therefore wouldn't be able to find him by scent.

"Jira, help me find him!!" she begged, looking to her idol.

Catherine's eyes went slightly wide and she ran to Jira, clinging to him. "Jira, please, help!" she pleaded still. "Please, I need to find him! He'll get hurt on his own!!" She knew what it was like to not have anywhere to go and be unloved, and she didn't want that to happen to Soahc. Not to anyone else, for that matter.

Catherine got dragged along while he walked, since she was clinging to him. "But I don't have heightened senses! I don't know how to find him! Please, just help me this once!!" she said. Ok, so he had helped her more than once, but she still needed his assistance. She was only seven, and couldn't do a lot on her own. She hadn't exactly had a childhood like Jira had had and wasn't as independent.

Not even when she begged, it seemed. "Fine," she said softly, obviously a little hurt. She smelled the air, and thought she had the faintest idea of where Soahc was. She wasn't sure, though... she wasn't sure at all. The little girl quickly ran off in that direction, hoping she was right.

Catherine finally found where Soahc was, and almost fell when she saw him. She had lost quite a bit of blood, but she wasn't giving up. By now, her wound had closed entirely, but she didn't know if she was going to need to get it checked or not.

She looked at the sign that said the house was scheduled for destruction, and her blue-green eyes widened. "Is there time to stop it?" she asked quietly, acting as though nothing had happened before.
