Vivian noted the gun in River's hand and went stiff. Her eyes darted around the room trying to find the danger that the men sensed and found it easily enough. She grabbed Jade's elbow and pulled her towards a more defensible position. "Stay  right here and don't move." She whispered,  pushing down on Jade's shoulder until she was squatting behind a stack of hard plastic boxes.<br/><br/>Jade complied, confused by the sudden change in behavior in Vivian. It was then that she noticed the grim looks on Damon and River, as well as the weapons in their hands. "What the hell is happening Viv?" She asked, keeping her voice to a low murmur.<br/><br/>Vivian didn't answer, her back was to Jade and she had somehow aquired a knife. Turning, she placed a finger on her lips to tell Jade to keep quiet. Then she was gone, moving quietly towards River.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Kara lay motionless on the ground.  She had begged for death before the sadistic little bitch Viola had left. She wasn't bleeding anymore, but every inch of her body was sore and bruised. Aldric had sent in a witch to heal the worst of her injuries before he had gone to oversee the attack on her daughter and the Dalca boys. He didn't want her bleeding to death before he was finished with her, he had said.
