Alek was nearly there, but something was telling him that he wouldn't find anything at the circle. A voice hissed in the back of his mind, "The Abyss.. That's where she is.." He was confused. He couldn't control shadows like Eztli could, so that meant he also wouldn't be able to follow her there. Plus, Eztli's consciousness probably wouldn't be there. (Or is that where she goes when Sinka takes over??)<br/><br/>Nene felt his tongue with a smirk, gliding he own over his teeth. She love being close to him this way, actually feeling like his mate. It was true that they were bonded emotionally as such, but it was a whole other experience to be bonded physically to him.
