The next thing Fae could feel was the blinding darkness around her and the deafening silence that embraced her

"Enough is enough!" An old man's voice resonated and echoed around the senses of Fae, she couldn't think as her mind felt shutdown, but deep inside she could tell who it was, how could she forget him

"Ever since Aria died you've been a fucking joke of man" That same elderly voice said, loudly, with the tone tipped in rage

"Understand me for fuck's sake! I have so much on my plate!" A second voice replied to the anger that it was receiving, but when it tried to defend itself it just made the first voice even more furious

"Understand you?!" He yelled back

"Your kid almost god damn died and you're telling me to understand you?!" That same angry tone was bordering madness as it felt like the old man was slowly growing insane from purely talking with the other person

"I'm done with giving you chances Raymond, I'm not going to stand by and let you ruin Fae's life" He told him

"I'll take this matter into my own hands as soon as she gets discharged from the hospital" The old man's voice was stern, his tone of voice still mixed with the same anger of before, only angrier

"You can't just take my own daughter away!" The middle-aged man pleaded

"I'll give her the offer and let her choose because unlike you, I actually care about what she wants" He responded

"She will accept, and who can blame her? you've given her no care" His voice then suddenly turned into a much more sorrowful tone

"The number of times she cried in front of me and begged to not tell you is just..." He then took a shivering inhale

"You don't even know how much she loves you and how she just wants your love back, you only know 'I' and 'me' you're no man Raymond" His anger was fully replaced with sadness now

"You're a monster, and I'm not letting you or anybody turn her into one"

And then she only felt pain, her head ached and her stomach had a lasting hurt

She coughed and gently opened her eyelids, it was all a blurry mess as she could barely discern the ceiling

Fae took a deep inhale and got up to find her stomach covered in clean white bandages, her torso was completely naked and her breasts covered only in similar bandages

"It's so nice to see you awake" She heard a voice that was drowned by her disoriented senses, turning to her left she could see Yuna who was crouched down to be at eye level with Fae sitting on the bed she was laid there

"Where am I?" She asked her, Yuna gave her a comforting smile

"Yulia's room" Yuna said and as she turned to look over her shoulder, Fae's eyes also followed, seeing Yulia sitting on a chair laid against the wall as she was sleeping with her arms crossed and her head lowered

"What happened?" Fae inquired further, Yuna turned to look back at her as the two locked eyes

"After you lost consciousness I carried you in my arms and ran as fast as I could towards Freesia" Yuna told her, while Fae had her right hand on the wound on her stomach, it still burned

"I met Yulia mid-way and she immediately treated your wound, then we brought you back to Freesia" Fae hummed ever so softly, looking down at the wound she was holding with her right hand, everything that happened was wrong, it all pained her so much

"The things that you remember happened yesterday" Yuna added, that meant Fae slept for around 24 hours

"Is she awake?!" Yulia seemed to have woken up by the sound of her voice as she rushed to be at Fae's side
