Andrea tried to reach Demona seeing her try to move. She could only imagine her pain seeing her wings gone. "Leave her alone!" She felt strike her from behind and collapsed to the ground.

Demona tried to move though felt nothing except sleepy. She felt she wanted to do nothing more then that. Her vision blurry she could hear Locke and smiled slightly. She tried to move though couldn't, the loss of blood from how her wings were taken slowing her down.

One of the men would nod seeing the flying one down and struck the mystic to knock her unconscious. He picked her up over his shoulder and headed back to the portal. He felt the girl waking but couldn't break his grip. He nodded towards his leader and began the march through the portal feeling a tug from the girl but would eventually force her through.

Drake ran fast seeing the others struggling. He called his shades to help even the playing field as he raced to get their friend. He felt his fear rise seeing the one that held her starting to go through the portal and her struggling to get away. He smiled grabbing her hand using one of his shade to try and break her free of the portal's grasp. "Hang on Andrea! We won't let you go this easily!" He felt her slipping from his grip and called out to her knowing well no one came back from portals once they went through. "No!" He tried to hold on but lost her as she went through.

Andrea woke feeling movement in time to realize where she was and what was happening to her. She called out and reaching as she saw Drake. She smiled a bit nervously as he reached her. She tried to hold onto him but the pull was too strong, and as she hit the portal it began closing around her. The great gift given to her being her curse at the moment. "Drake!" She teared a bit trying to hold on and knew it wouldn't matter. Her voice came out calm looking to him. "Take care of them for me." And then she felt the slip. The portal shattering as she was through.

He had lost her. She was there, then simply wasn't. He turned seeing the clansmen despite their cages were gone. He turned seeing Demona laying on the ground and went to her taking his cloak to wrap around her and try to stop her bleeding. "Hang on Demona, we may have been too late for Andrea, but you're still with us." He looked to the others knowing time was sensitive, but if they didn't help Demona, he was sure the blood loss from her wings would kill her. "Guys, I don't like it, but we must go. Demona needs help. I don't want to loose another of this group because of those men." He put her gently over his horse as he mounted and held her to him for support. Looking her over he could see her trying to stay conscious. "Hang on Demona, we've got you."

She could hear their screams and could only imagine what had happened. Had she not fallen she was sure she would have been able to stop it. She tried to nod or say anything to thank Drake for his help though didn't have the strength. Her skin grew pale and her body weak. She was a fighter and was reduced to this? she scoffed at the idea, though wished for nothing more then to sleep.

Drake managed to make sure all of them got back to the in in respectively once piece. He laid Demona down gently on her stomach and went to his room to gather the bandages. He made sure Locke was there but out of the way given his own condition. He had tried to keep her conscious but there was too much blood loss. "Locke get some water, and some fruit. We have to keep something in her system to help her replenish her blood." He needed Locke to be active to keep focus. He couldn't begin to think of what was going on in his mind knowing how close to both of them he was.

Demona would remain most of the night and the following three out of it. By the fourth day color would slowly seem to return as she would slowly wake. Everything was blurry and she wasn't sure what had happened but was sure something had. "He.. Hello?..."

She nodded best she could but attempted pushing the food and drink away. She didn't feel like eating. She felt stiff and wanted to move though only got two distinct sharp pains for her efforts. She bit her lip nearly passing out from the pain once more. A fear creeping into her mind. She remembered the battle, and the cost to save their friend. "Is Andrea all right? She was beside me. I know I heard her calling..."

Drake finally slept after the events of the past few days. He spent his time helping Sam, and tending Demona. Locke seeming to want no one near as he watched over her. He worried about the human's reaction but knew this had to be hard on him.

Zhin dropped down seeing Locke leaving the inn. He would move to walk beside him before motioning that he stop. "Locke, we may be on odd sides, but I come with a warning. Be careful of what you start. Portals are not a simple business. She knew that. You couldn't have helped her if you wanted to, Adius's visions are never wrong, no matter what we did to change her fate. It's why we let you take her. She was safer with your group in more ways then you know for her healing. She may have gone, but her memory, more then recent still remains in your heart." He looked to him knowing well what he would try. "Just know one thing little brother, She won't come back. If she somehow manages to, she won't be the Andrea we know and love."

He sighed as Locke walked on still. "Defiant as always." He said with a slight smirk. He followed shrugging. "I didn't say not to try, just don't kill yourself in the process." He looked to him still following a bit though at a little distance. "Because, we once did. You may have been too young to remember. You liked to stick up for others then too, and always against the wrong people. Sadly, one kept that grudge." He stopped looking more seriously to him. "You'll remember in time possibly. If not, well, you may never know. My orders were to watch out for Andrea and keep the clansmen at bay if we could. Believe me, every scenario other then the one that had happened resulted in her death. At least, with leaving Andrea in your care, she was alive when they took her through. If she weren't being followed and Demona hadn't shown when she did, lets just say you all got lucky she was only brought through the portal." He looked sternly towards him before turning to walk away. "The clansmen and Guarin aren't done yet. The clansmen may leave your group for now, but the mystic won't. Beware of him." And with that he would take off.

Demona looked about before trying to move though after only a slight movement stopped with a sharp intake of breath as pain washed over her. She knew her wings were gone, there was too much pain for them not to be. She closed her eyes in thought and wanted to curse. "Jack, do me a favor before lock returns. If it isn't already, I need you to cut what is left of my wings close to my skin. I can heal better that way. I would ask him, but he has suffered enough without having to bear more." She said in a low voice. She wondered if Drake would do so if Jack couldn't. "I am sorry I have to ask that of any in this group."

He had seen Locke take off and knew something was up. He sighed and left himself looking about the town and finding a charier shop. He wrote a letter home knowing they could fill his requests, they had their ways of getting things. And waited knowing one's magic would have it soon enough. Then would return to the room to check on the others. "Everyone still good? As much as we can? Hey Sam, how is Locke's arm going?"
