Helena felt the darkness invading her, it seemed to choke her, seemed to seep all the strength from her body, all the will from her mind but the one overpowering will was still there. She had to find the children. Their clear voices were ringing out through the darkness and while it was their mother they called for it felt very much like they were calling her.<br/><br/>"I'm coming!" She called back, her voice sounding strange and very loud in the darkness.<br/><br/>She realized then it was probably not smart to make so much noise. The hairy thing that'd pushed her might still be around somewhere. And so she bit her lip and pressed on, placing one foot before the other, hands outstretched as she looked for the nursery door. Finally, her questing hands bumped into wood and a little later she found the doorknob and she turned it, swung open the door and stepped inside.<br/><br/>"James, Alice...?" She called softly.
