Neva and Alexis walked in silence for and hour or so through the slowly cooling afternoon. The female Paw kept a poliet distance from the quiet girl and had not spoken a word since the dragon had left them.

Suddenly Neva noticed a hitch in the girls step. She jogged to catch up and noticed how the girls eyes stared almost blindly around her. "Alexis? Are you all right?"

The small fair girl child looked to her blindly and stammered something in a language Neva did not know. "Lexi, I don't understand." the Paw pleaded as she circled the girl worriedly.

Alexis clutched her head in her hands and moaned low in her throat. "No. No, I will not."

::Yes you will or he will die. Do you think I'll not do it?::

Pain raked through her as somewhere else in the world Damian attacked a chained Monet, and Alexis landed on her knees.

Neva moved to the girl and tried to support her as she struggled against the invisable enemy. "Alexis?"

::Do it so that you may live. Or do not and you will die. Your choice.::

"Neva," she whispered quietly. "Neva you must go back to Michael and Jeff. Protect them." Tears filled the girls blue eyes and she pleaded with the Paw. "Do not let me back into the camp. No matter what. Do NOT allow me to enter the camp. Do you understand?"

"No." Neva replied honestly. "What is going on?"

Pain ripped through Alexis yet and again from the attacks on Monet and she clung to Neva, "Tell Michael, Tell him that Azrael has Monet. Tell him that I am not..." She growled suddenly. A sound that to Neva's ears should not come from such a small creature. At last she spoke. "Please tell him that I am not myself and I should not be allowed into the camp."

The girl let go of the Paw and pleaded with her eyes. Eyes that seemed to be clear and scared one moment and filled with madness the next. "Please?"

As much as she hated leaving the young female unprotected, she understood the importance of the command. She butted her head against Alexis gently, "I will go." Then she turned and ran at top speed back to the small camp.

As she approached she let out a small cry to let Phisto know that it was her. He jogged out to meet her and the two spoke at length before he trotted back to the camp, a weary Neva at his side.

"Michael, Neva brings news." The elder Paw looked to his neice and sighed. "She says, Azrael holds Monet and that we are not to let Alexis back into the camp."
