Serena lay stareing at the ceiling. This confining box was her home, and her 
cage. More the latter and less the former. She felt like an animal in the hotel, 
like some caged bird longing for freedom. Sure, she got everything she needed at 
this point, but things weren't that simple. She had a child to think of, and a 
zoo was no place to raise a young sentient being. 

She looked sharply at the door. The idea of some wacko with a sword and a lock 
pick was not pleasent to her either. What if she bumped into him and he was not 
in a good mood? How long could she hide in her room before he would bust in? 

She shook her head. No, this was not a place to raise a child, her gut had told 
her this before. This place was by far worse than the Nexus, at least in the 
Nexus she could move into some unassuming countryside town and not be noticed. 
Here it was just caves and a hotel, and she would not have her child grow up as 
some cave dwelling monkey. 

She looked back at the ceiling. The thought had crossed her mind to go out 
searching for a portal or so on by herself, but this was not wise in her vunrable 
condition. As well, she couldn't help thinking of what kinda worlds she could 
fall into if she had found a portal. There was no guarantee that she would ever 
see her family agian, same as there was no gaurantee that she would not run into 
a demon here or there. 

She sighed heavily to clear her minds of the evil thoughts. At least some of her 
friends were here if she ever needed an assistance, and the hotel has supply all 
her needs thus far,she was sure that it would supply them for her child. Though, 
she could never shake the feeling of helplessness she had when she first came to 
this plane. It clunge to her like some form of whicked burr, holding on for dear 
life. 

On the same hand, her mind always now and then trailed back to Burner. She could 
never forgive herself for yelling at him, but she now wondered if he even cared 
in the first place. It was becomeing clear to her through afterthought that he 
always pushed people away, and that he seemed to have not the least care for 
anyone at any point during the time that she knew him. He was a nice guy, but did 
she truely ever really love him, or was she just clinging to him, like some sort 
of parasite looking for a host. She did turn her attention to him rather quickly 
after Serothen broke up with him, but why was this? Was he a cure for the 
Serothen Blues? 

Serena held her head and cureled into a little ball. Tears streamed down her face 
as she sniffled. "This isn't right!" She cryed, "It's all wrong. Just some kinda 
nightmare. But when will I wake up!" 

And there she staied for a night and a day. Wrestleing with her thoughts and 
trying to make sense of the past few months.
