As if on cue, right when Viktor had asked the question, Elizabeth strode in. She'd followed the angry trail of staff up to the room, but she hadn't been expecting that. She took the note from Aleksey's brother, and her heart broke after reading only the first two lines. She didn't need to read the rest. Tears were immediately brimming in her eyes. She wasn't losing him. Not again. She wouldn't allow it. And without waiting for anyone else, she dropped the note and sprinted back outside, pausing. There had to be a way to find him. She'd been practicing, somewhat, on her 'magic'. If she could use it, she thought she might as well use it. She still wasn't too keen on thinking of herself as a witch, but maybe this was supposed to happen- Now she wasn't useless.<br/><br/>She closed her eyes tightly, causing a few tears to fall. Just barely, because she wasn't calm, she was able to actually find where he was, in a general area. She didn't bother with a car, and she'd never thought she'd have to run as fast as she did. If she lost Aleksey.. She wouldn't know what to do. So she ran, tripping and slipping at times from the snow or ice, and she was freezing without any coat on, her nose pink and her ears the same to match with her cheeks a rosy color, she ignored the cold completely, focused only on finding Aleksey. While she ran, tears rolled down her cheeks, people quickly stepping out of her way while she was running so she wouldn't knock into them.<br/><br/>As soon as she spotted Aleksey, sitting on a bench next to some man, she shrieked, "Aleksey?" Without warning she ran straight to him and flung herself to give him a hug, not caring to remember much about what wounds he'd have. But a moment later she stood back up, scowling and scolding at him as if he were a child. "What is<span style="font-style: italic">wrong</span>you?" She snapped, a mix of emotion in her eyes. She wasn't sure whether she should be mad, glad, or sad.<br/><br/>After more scolding and scowling at him, almost yelling at him quite literally, she simply hugged him around the neck again, this time crying into the crook of his neck. "The only horrors I have are losing you.." She murmured, referring to what had been said on the note back at the hospital.
