"Oh." Drake said simply. "Never mind that last question, then, Cassiel."
"When the men came, did you run?"

Cassiel nodded then shook her head. "I ran and got the dagger. Then I came back. I saw them, they took momma, and she screamed." Cassiel started to cry again. Between sobs she said, "There was.... blood... on their... swords." She buried her face in her hands.

Drake moved to comfort her, but stopped, remembering Eli was there. Tears started to fill his eyes at what he was doing again, but again he blinked them away.
"Ok, Cass, let it out. It's okay to cry...It actually helps. I wanna say again that I'm sorry to be doing this, though."

When Cassiel finally looked up, her eyes were all red. She sniffled then started talking again. "Then they beat up papa and took him away. I heard them say they were going to search, so I hid. We had secret passages in my house and I found my brothers there. I told them to run. Then I came out into the living room and that's when it happened. There was so much blood, and she was, she was...." Cassiel's eyes began to slide out of focus again.

"Okay, Cass! Would you like a break for now?" Drake said, trying not to lose her again.

Cassiel nodded and stuck her thumb in her mouth. She curled up on Eli's lap, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Drake let out a breath of relief and leaned back. After a while, he looked at Eli.
"She should be at least a little better when she wakes up. I'll wait around to try to finish when she wakes up...that is, of course, if that's okay with you." He asked him.

"Yeah, it's fine. You seem to know what you're doing, and she needs to let what's pent up inside out, so we can wait until she wakes up, and like you said, she should be a little better." Eli sighed. He had been keeping his emotions in check, but it was hard seeing Cassiel like this, and would give anything so that she would be better.

After awhile Cassiel opened her eyes and looked at Eli. She gave him a small smile. "I feel a little better now," she said, her voice still sounding young.

Eli smiled back at her. "That's good." Eli then looked at Drake, as if asking if he wanted to continue and see if Cassiel told more of her story.

Drake nodded and looked at Cassiel again.
"It seems as if she's beginning to remember you again, Eli. That's a good sign. Anyway, Cass, continuing: After the blood....what did you do?"

"Well after I saw all the blood, I saw... her. My momma. She never got to change all the way. She used to change into a tiger. And then I laid next to her and cried for a long long time until I heard a big scary man walking to the room. But I tricked him." Cassiel nodded.

"Really? You tricked him? You're a naughty little girl, aren't you?" Drake asked, smirking.
"How did you do it?"

"I'm not naughty, I'm smart." Cassiel stuck her tongue out at him playfully, "Well, I changed very very quick. Papa alway said I looked like a kitten when I changed, and that is what the man thought I was. He just shooed me out of the room and I was save. I think he told the other scary men that there was a kitten there 'cause they saw me sometimes."

"And after that, you got away?" Drake asked.
