"I guess we are going to Alaska." Pandora said.

"You'd think they'd accept defeat." Gia laughed as the watched all the men pouting.

"Oh you know men and their egos." Pandora joined Gia in her teasing.

"You are both meanies." Raven said as he pouted childishly.

"Oh come on Rave, you know we love you." Pandora said to her twin brother.

"Yeah yeah. I love you too." Raven said as he slumped in his seat.

The whole ride both the bloodhounds and knights were on edge especially with Pandora there. It just made them more stressed. Their wolves urged them to be closer to Pandora for her safety was the number one priority for all of them. Not only was she pregnant but she was their Pan. They would always be protective no matter what.

Pandora sighed and allowed their distance of closeness. She knew the strain she put on them. She didn't want to but it wasn't as if she could turn it off.

Pandora leaned against Lucien as she rubbed her bump. How she longed for the little one to finally be out. She was most edger to see the being she had harboured for nine months. Four months and six to go. As much as she loved her baby she wanted the little one out.

"Sleep love." Lucien cooed as her eye lids felt heavy.

"But I'm not tired." Pandora whined, but the yawn that escaped her lips said otherwise.

"You say that know but when you're grumpy later don't blame me." Lucien said as Pandora rested her head on his shoulder, and just like that Pandora was out like a light.

Lucien chuckled at his wife's antics.

The ride was long and fun. After so much as an hour, Pandora was up and causing trouble. She noticed both Michael and Victor sound asleep and just had to take the opportunity that had so conveniently presented itself.

Pandora shook Raven and pointed to them. Raven grinned evilly, he knew it was time for the devilish duo. Everyone knew Raven and Pandora would always fight and have tiffs but when they got together, that's when you should be worried.

Everyone was asleep so their job was easy. Raven reached into his bag and pulled out a set of permanent makers while Pandora pulled out her water proof make up or rather what was left of it. Lucien or basically any of the Bloodhounds would always destroy it, saying she didn't need it. Which make Pandora happy if didn't always have to go to the store for something like lipstick but Pandora loved them, there wasn't anything she could do.

Raven drew lightly on Michael while Pandora did Cole's makeup.

"Shh." Raven shushed while Pandora giggled.

"What's going on?" Gia asked. She was always a light sleeper. Gia noticed what was happening and shrugged.

"Pan can you come cuddle me when you're done." Gia asked. Pandora nodded as Gia opened her arms waiting.

That was always something they would do. It has been fourteen years since they meet. Gia was adopted by the Bloodhounds after a year but she wanted to keep her name, it was a symbol of strength for her, Of surviving. Although she gained the advantages and some would say disadvantages of immortality. She was a Bloodhound and although she had moved on and survived, she was still haunted by the horrors of her pass.

Horrors that no one could stand but she did. Gia was the only child to money craving father and alcoholic, drug consuming mother. Parents who only thought of themselves, who saw their daughter as an investment. Selling her to the highest bidder, renting their ten year daughter as a sex slave.

Pandora would never forget the day she discovered what they were doing.

Pandora had uncover Gia's lost Teddy bear, as little she made it her mission to get it back to her only friend was true to her. Even then they were like sisters. Pandora s arrived at Gia's house to hear her friend screaming for them to stop. Pandora after fast and ran to save her best friend.

The image imprinted in her mind. A man holding the ten year old girl roughly as he raped her while her sick parents watched. Pandora without hesitation pulled out her gun and shot the man.

Then turned to the sick couple who started wide eyes at the little girl. With a look she use her ability and broke every bone in the Gia's father's body, causing him agonizing pain as she kept him awake and drained the mother of all her blood causing the simulation of drowning.

She took Gia from there and from that they never looked back.

Pandora wish she could rid Gia of the terrors of her past but something's are just set in stone. However no matter what happened Gia fought, she lived, she didn't she her past as an anchor but as something she could be proud of. She survived and thrived.

"Are your night terrors coming back." Pandora asked as she held Gia.

"They never left." Gia signed and held Pandora tighter.

"I love you baba." Pandora soothe her as the cuddled. Pandora wasn't only a friend or a sister to Gia. She was a God sent Angel to her. She didn't know where she would be would out her.

She would do anything for Pandora and that was the truth.

"I love you too." Gia said and went back to sleep as Pandora caressed her head. Pandora smiled as she kissed Gia's forehead.
