The main area, with the shelves, the wooden table, and the fireplace. ((Picture to come.))

Anna stepped out of the Umbra and directly into the main Library, right in front of the fireplace. She reached rather quickly, and without the help of a mirror, but then again this was the Caern, and the gauntlet was as thin as it got in the city. She almost took off immediately, but stopped to look at the pictures again, especially Abby's.

Yvonne takes a little longer to reach, but makes it in time. She steps up behind Anna, probably quite a picture with her scars and ripped and torn clothes. She places a hand on Anna's shoulder gently. "How are you doing?"

Anna jumped. She hadn't noticed her appear, partly because she had been staring at the photographs, but mostly because Anna wasn't really very attentive even on her good days. She turned around quickly to stare at the girl. She herself didn't look at all better. She took a few steps backwards and looked at Yvonne suspiciously. "I said I'm fine," she said. "You should get that looked at." She pointed at the scratches.

Yvonne takes her hand away quickly as Anna jumps. "Oh they'll be fine. I'll get patched up when I get home, they shouldn't take more than a couple of days to heal. I'm sure my dad will make a fuss though." She shrugs it off, she'd had worse, although nothing to really scar yet. "It's just that... you've been through a lot, I can't even imagine, but if it will help I want you to know that you can talk to me." She attempts a comforting smile and takes Anna's hand gently, if she allows it. "Or if you need time alone, that's ok too."

"Do you really want to know?" Anna said. It wasn't really a question, although she was looking at Yvonne inquisitively with narrowed eyes. Anna thought she looked a little older than her, although not my much. For a few seconds she considered Yvonne's words. She almost said something too, but her jaw quivered and she stopped.
"I have to go," she said suddenly. "I have to find my pack."

"If it would help you, yes I do." Yvonnes watches her in return, then shakes her head slightly. "They know you're here with us. If you go out to try to find them and they get back while you're gone, they will just go out for you. They'll come, I'm sure." She heaves a sigh. "But if you're truly set on going out to find them, then I'm coming with you. This isn't a safe city to be out alone."

"And they should have been here by now," Anna said. "Unless they're seriously hurt, they couldn't possibly have been moving slower than we were. They should have caught up."
Anna didn't realise she had raised her voice. But she was practically shouting now. She checked herself, took a deep breath, and then shook her head. "You don't have to come," she said.

Yvonne frowns momentarily. She's right, and if she's right there's no more time to waste. Here we go again. "And I couldn't live with myself if I let you go alone and you never came back. I'm a little concerned about Sparrows-Song too, she was hurt already when we arrived with her, but we lost her in the confusion." A few seconds more deliberation, and Yvonne gives a determined nod. "So we go, are we going to tell Danny? He'll probably argue. He did when I told him I was going to help."

"He'll just tell us to be good cubs and stay behind," she said. For some reason she glanced at Abby's picture when she said that. "He's obsessed with keeping everyone alive. I'm sure they didn't tell him they were going East-Side. He would have ordered them to stay behind too."
She looked at Yvonne again, and resigned herself to the fact that she was coming along. "He's been like that since Abby died," she added. "We should probably go now. We'll take the Umbra from the outside, so they won't see us leave."

"They called him to let him know where they were, he was really angry, that's how I found out. He gave in last time, but I don't know if he will again, I don't know if he'll be such a softy with others around." She looks at Abby's picture again for a fleeting moment. "Yes, he mentioned her." It passes, she didn't want to think about it. She didn't want to think about the same happening to Anna or herself either, they just had to act. "Alright, let's go."

Anna noticed her glance at the picture too, but said nothing. She turned around and headed for the front door, which led out into the street. It was late enough for them to go unnoticed, despite the blood and their wounds. The onslaught of cold air as they stepped outside the building was enough to make both of them shiver, but Anna wasn't about to turn back to change. Any moment the others could finish talking and join them, and she wasn't going to be left behind, not when her pack could be in danger.
"We can cross over there," she indicated the driveway to a small house a little further away. "They're never home..."

"Alright, you lead on then, you know the way." Yvonne falls in alongside Anna, following her lead. "Who was that big guy? I didn't stop for introductions."

"Ilya's Gurahl," Anna said. "A bear-changer. He's good friends with Danny and Tony... I mean Judgment-from-the-Skies. They saved his family from the were-collectors." There was a whole lot more to that story, but Anna wasn't feeling that talkative. Mostly to get out of explaining, she countered with her own question.
"Who's Sparrow's Song?" she asked. She hadn't heard that name before.

"She's a Red Talon that I met." There was no need to mention having rescued her. "I wouldn't of been able to find you without her, she said she know Tony and his pack. I hope she's ok."
