Exton

The scream isn't physical. It starts deep, soul deep, welling up until it echoes across the psychic bridge between worlds. Tomas runs for his father as soon as the sound starts, scared for his aunt. Stone grinds as Tori rises, dust sifting as her wings begin to unfurl. It is still too early for Tori to regain her flesh, being younger than her brothers.Another hour, maybe two and she would have woken as woman instead of gargoyle.

Stoney is suddenly there before her, flesh becoming granite. He grapples with her as she hisses, stone fangs flashing as she struggles in his grip.  

Enough! Roisin Sky Tavisham! Enough! Think! Mon Deiu! You can not go to him this way! They are bringing him home. He needs you calm. He will need your strength as you needed his! Listen to me!

Slitted marbles of emerald green focus slowly on his mastiff features. lids blink slowly, grinding small bits of dust which fall, shifting, to leave dots of wet on grey stone scale. Her head hangs forward as a great sob, racks her body. Stoney shakes her once, getting her attention again.

...grip. Do you hear me? They are on their way back. Tannr and Ob are going to need our help. Can you... Tori... Focus!

She blinks. Movement brings her gaze downward. Tomas stands by her side, small wings spread wide, a grim expression across his small face. Ryan stands ready, large stones gripped in his small hands. She blinks again and stone dust turns to tears. She nods to her brother.

"I am good." The sound of her voice grates, harsh with pain. "Tannr and Ob are coming home, injured. I... Pan... I need to let Pan know."

Stoney nods, glancing at the boys. "Ob hasn't told us how bad he is, Tannr is worse, Ob is up and moving."

Tomas blinks up at his father. "Chloe says her daddy is hurting. He won't let them think to him. I tol' her he's comin home."

Stoney nods. Tori closes her eyes, wrapping taloned fingers around her arms, fighting for calm. Pan... Ob and Tannr are on their way... Will let you know as soon as there is anything to know. I promise.

She can feel the strength in Pandora's quiet acceptance. A small smile settles in the back of Tori's mind as she feels Pandora gathering magic. The moments build into a solid power. Pandora turns her thoughts back to Tori, assuring her that any spell she has is ready and waiting for their call. And, she was on her way to the Cabin.
