It had been days of camping outside the Burial Mounds before they finally gave in. Wei Ying had remained unresponsive, only sleeping once in a matter of four days, the only way they could get through to him was to petrify him with Lan Wangji.

But even then, all they did was traumatize him further, they could not get him to eat, drink, sleep, or wash, they couldn't get him to do anything.

After sneaking a letter to Wen Qing, they breathed in relief when she slithered her way into Lotus Pier, bringing her brother with her, she ran into the infirmary.

"What happened?" She questioned, rushing to Wei Ying's bedside who had been knocked out by his pressure points a hour ago. The note had been brief.

Jiang Cheng sniffed, rubbing his red eyes, "We went to the Burial Mounds," He mumbled, making her stiffen, "And... we... the resentment... it was so thick we couldn't see anything and we lost him in there and..."

Wen Qing slowly turned around from where she had been stroking Wei Ying's hair, looking at him holding her breath, "-and... when he found him he... he was in the carriage and he wasn't moving- o-other than shaking and... he was looking right ahead he wasn't blinking and he..." He gulped, voice hoarse, "He wouldn't even twitch when we screamed for him he... he only reacted when Lan Wangji intercepted his line of sight and... he started screaming..."

Wen Qing held her breath, eyes glossing over she prayed... she prayed it hadn't happened.

"The shadow... it got to him."

Wen Qing tears fell, no...

Looking down as her heart broke, she turned to the boy on the bed who hadn't even been stripped of the dirty clothes he had been wearing for four days.

Wen Qing clenched her fists, stiffening when Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan stepped closer, "Wen-Guniang, we didn't want to do anything till you arrived we-"

A loud slap filled the room, silencing Jiang Cheng as pain bloomed in his cheek like thousands of tiny pinpricks and the others gasped.

Wen Qing glared, shaking in her anger and heartbreak, she turned to Lan Zhan.

She did not care that he had clearly been crying for days on end, she did not care about any one of these people anymore.

Marching forward, she raised her palm and slapped him twice as hard as she could, ignoring his groan and gasps of pain, surprised at her strength, she began to scream, "You were supposed to be his fucking soulmate!" She barked, unrelenting even as he fell to his knees, sobbing, "You SWORE to protect him! You said it over and over! You DRAGGED him back to the FUCKING BURIAL MOUNDS even if he was fucking PETRIFIED! You dragged him back there promising to keep him safe and you- fucking..." She cut herself off, pinching her lips to resist saying more no matter how much she wanted to.

Lan Zhan curled into a ball, crying his eyes out.

Jiang Fengman took a careful step forward, "Lady-Wen," He bowed his head, "Please... help my son... we will do anything to make this as comfortable as possible for him and it kills me... Lady-Wen i-it... it kills me what happened to him- Lady-Wen... if we were not on a time limit... I'd do anything but... thousands of lives count on him and we need him cohere-"

Another slap bounced off the walls, however... this time... it was Wen Ning who had done it who stood by his sister, just as furious.

Wen Qing could barely breathe with how furious she was, "Excuse me?" Wen Qing whispered, glaring, "You fucking idiots. You fucking self-centred pathetic morons!" She screamed, slapping him like the others for the hell of it, "Are you fucking joking?! He was assaulted a third time! A second time by the very thing that made him so fucking fragile in the first place because of your fucking incompetence! He was assaulted! And all you can think about is your fucking war?!"

Wen Qing clutched her chest, feeling as if she was about to burst as she watched history repeat itself, "WHAT?! 'We need him!'" She mimicked, walking back and shoving Jiang Cheng's chest, "I don't give a FUCK if you need him, FIGURE out how to stop being FUCKING COWARDS and fight your own FUCKING WAR, YOU COWARDS!!!" She screeched, yanking Lan Wangji to his feet by his collar and shoving him in the direction of the door, she waved with her fingers in the air as if spinning a noose to catch someone, "ALL OF YOU... GET. THE. FUCK out of my FUCKING infirmary right now or I swear to GOD I will knock you on your FUCKING asses and let Wen Ruohan decide your fate!"

Nothing could be heard but rapid, shocked breaths and whimpers of agony.

Wen Qing saw red, "ARE YOU ALL DEAF?! GET THE FUCK OUT!" She roared, fully kicking Jiang Cheng out of the door, she let everyone run away in tears but... one.

Catching Jiang Yanli, Wen Qing slammed the doors shut leaving just her, her brothers, and Yanli, she pulled the other woman into her chest, "None of that included you." She whispered, cupping the back of Yanli's head.

Jiang Yanli began to cry loudly, her mourning filling the infirmary, "A-Xian!!!" She wailed.

Wen Qing began to sob too, "I'm here..." She whispered, "I'm here..."

Yanli cried harder than she ever had, "Y-You're here!" She repeated, reassuring herself, "T-Thank goodness... e-everything fall apart when you're gone!"

Wen Qing sniffed, hugging her tighter, she kissed the side of her head, "I won't leave again..." She murmured, "I promise..."

Yanli took in a sharp breath, smiling through her sobs, "You better not..." She whispered, hugging Wen Qing tighter, "Never leave me again..."

Wen Qing smiled, pulling away, she wiped Yanli's tears, "I won't." She grinned, leaning in, "Never again."

Yanli closed the distance.

This is only BarElY 1000 words, I'm very sorry but I wanted to get one last chapter out before I go to bed so you wouldn't be left on a cliffhanger for days :D
