[Rl with Cross]

[mortally]

Bella wasn't really sure what exactly Cross wanted from her. She had posted saying she was trying to get back home when he told her to come to the Dark Order Headquarters. It had taken her awhile, but she finally figured out how to get there. She had some time to spare anyways. Alice knew where she was so she didn't have to worry about getting home

Bella about screamed when Cross grabbed her suddenly, but managed to keep herself in check when she realized it was him. It didn't take her long to figure out that he was going for secrecy, so she decided to go along with it. And what was with him? Maria? This was strange... then again, this wasn't her Earth anymore.

"Cross, what's going on?" She asked him.

"Apparently its important enough to get me out here," Bella commented.

Bella gave Cross an unamused look when he picked her up and set her on the ledge of a window that seemed to come from nowhere. She could have got on the ledge herself and it felt weird when people picked her up still, even though everyone in Edward's family had done that to her at least once or twice.

There was no denying, though, that Bella was curious now about why Cross had brought her out here. This was the first time she'd really met him in person. Somehow, she wasn't surprised. He was exactly like she thought he would be, which wasn't too bad a thing.

[RL with Klaud here]

[mortally]

It had taken awhile for Bella to convince the guards to take her to General Nine, Klaud if Bella remembered correctly. But insisting that it was important seemed to help.

Bella approached Klaud's room and knocked lightly on the door, hoping Klaud would know what to do about this. So far all Cross had managed to do was question her and confuse her.

It had been a horrendous week, in Klaud's view. Granted, at first it had started nice, she had enjoyed walking about as a lioness, but when certain instincts, such as hunting came into play, it was like controlling her emotions to keep Lau Jimin from attacking anyone at random.

Cross hadn't helped. Of course, she thought as she ran the brush through her hair, when was he ever helpful? Excluding those few occasions that he actually provided a few explanations for strange occurrences concerning the war.

Lau Jimin, the small monkey, sat next to her on the bed. She was just about ready to pull her hair back up into it's usual position, when the door knocked. With quiet grace, she walked over to it and opened it, only to blink at the visitor.

It should have been highly noted that Klaud had only ever seen Bella as a parrot. So this visit struck her odd, but she was polite through and through

[mortally]

Bella hadn't ever seen Klaud's human appearance. The last time she saw her she looked like a lion. Bad conditions to really meet under.

Klaud was astonishingly beautiful, though. She reminded Bella of Rosalie for a moment. Beautiful, graceful, confident.

Bella squirmed a little under Klaud's gaze, feeling awkward for just turning up like this. "Umm, yeah," Bella said softly so others couldn't hear but Klaud. "Cross sent me."

She raised an eyebrow at first, but stepped to the side, inviting her inside. "Please. Come in." Klaud closed the door behind Bella, casting a glance around the room. The room itself was nice and quaint, even. Although it lacked any decorations, it certainly looked lived in. A small table with two chairs sat off to the side. A thin book sat atop the table, a photograph sticking out of it. Klaud didn't keep very many reminders of her past around her, but she did manage to keep a photo of all her students close by.

It reminded her everyday just how important this war was to her. And to them. "Have a seat. Would you like some water? Tea?" Kalud looked up at Bella for an answer.

Walking over to the table, she picked the book up, placing it inside her drawer. "
