Cassiel just stared at Drake, silent tears streaming down her cheeks.

Drake wanted to look away, hating to see her crying like this because of what he was doing. But he forced himself to continue, telling himself it was for her own good.
"Cassiel, please....Eli's here too. He's very sad for you and he wants you to get yourself out of this. He, and I, know you can do it too. If you don't wanna tell me, then tell him. He's listening too."

Finally Cassiel whispered, "I... I can't." She cried harder.

Eli held her even tighter. "Cass, I'm here for you. We're here for you. We want to help you. But for us to be able to help you, you need to talk to us. Like Drake said, if you can't talk to him, talk to me. If you feel you can't tell me, tell him." Eli swallowed hard. He hated seeing Cassiel like this, but was determined to help her like she helped him through hard times.

"Cassiel, believe me. I know it's hard, because I've been in your position before. So no, I'm not just trying to get a good mark on my conscience or anything, I genuinely know what you're going through...and I really want to help you."
Drake sighed again.
"But I can't make the first move. That's up to you."

Eli just kept holding Cassiel as she cried. This wasn't the same Cassiel that he had come to know and fall in love with; the confident one who could take anything, with the bright, shiny, happy eyes, cheerful demeanor, but was also tough, but he didn't care. He still loved her, and wanted to help her. He whispered in her ear. "I love you Cass, and always will. I'll always be here for you. But you can't keep everything inside, it will hurt you more than you could ever know. Please Cass." He kissed her on the top of her head.

Cassiel hid her face in her hands, but began to speak. "I... I don't know, I don't know. They came and everything was bad, very bad. They are all gone." Her voice was very young sounding and vulnerable. When she looked up at Drake, then Eli, it was almost like her whole face had changed, it almost looked child-like.

Eli took one of his arms off Cassiel and reached for a bottle of the potion. "I wonder if there is anyway for me to see what she saw using this stuff. She still doesn't seem to be able to tell us what happened, but maybe if I were to see, I could understand why."

Looking at Eli, Drake answered.
"No, if you drink it, you'll get one of your own memories. That won't work."
He looked back at Cassiel.
"And even though it may not seem that way, we may be getting closer to breaking this mental block she subconsciously set up. She seems to have reverted to the age she was at when this event actually happend, so she may be closer to remembering it."
"So, Cass, who's this 'they' you're talking about? Who came and made everything bad?"

Cassiel's eyes were very serious. "I don't know who they are, they were very big. Papa said they were coming for the dagger. He knew they were coming, but he only told me." Cassiel giggled, "That's cuz papa likes me best."

Drake smiled, in spite of the situation.
"And I'm sure he still does love you. Is there anything else he told you about this?"

Eli looked at the potion and stuck it in his pocket. 'Maybe some other time,' he thought. "Yeah, that sounds about right, she was only 5 at the time."

Cassiel shook her head. "No, he just told me that bad men wanted the dagger and that if they came I had to take the dagger and hide it." Cassiel took a deep breath, "And then they did come. I was upstairs playing with my brothers. Their names are.... they are... I don't remember." She was getting visibally upset.

"Ok, I don't think their names are that important right now...Umm....What exactly happened when the bad men came? Did you hide the dagger like Papa asked you to?"

Eli's eyes lit up. "Drake," he said as he quickly put his hands over her ears. He didn't know if he should say anything, but decided to anyways. "She has the dagger." When he finished that sentence, he took his hands off her ears.
