argaux could feel 'their' eyes on her as she got out of the house with Radleigh at her side for support. It's uncomfortable, as she can feel them, vampires and wolves, watch her with curiosity or judgement, she doesn't know what, but it's making her feel even worse, either way.

She's not exactly in her best shape and without Radleigh, she don't  know how she'll be able to get through the night on her own. 

It's pathetic.

Looking so vulnerable and fragile, but what can she do?

Nothing.

Her body is still recovering from the injuries. The venom is helping, but not as much because her body is resisting the venom to go through her system. She has to inject more of it from time to time to heal even the most complicated internal injury she got, like some sort of a maintenance.

According to Carlisle, it's better that way atleast. He's studying her condition for weeks now, checking up on her every day, looking for any signs and progress. So far, he has made some theories in his mind. One of it is, Margaux's blood slows down or deteriorates and fights the venom off of her system and vice versa, thus the slow recovery.

He also thinks that she's now partially one of their kind as he noticed some changes in her physical appearance such as her eye color and skin color that is much paler than before, although he can't be so sure about the latter. It could be because of her condition, but her diet and temperature stays the same though.

But one thing worries him. He worries about the day her body would become immune to the venom as the days passed by and she's not fully recovered yet. He discovered that she doesn't have the ability to heal quickly and without the venom in her system, her body might turn for the worst and might take even longer and slower for her to recover fully.

"It's gonna be okay, Love. I am here" Radleigh comforts her, patting her hand that is gripping his arm, tightly.

He knows it's very uncomfortable for her to be in a crowded place and it's even worse with vampire and wolves looking at her, watching her.

He wants to take her out of there, but he wouldn't want to ruin his 'nephews' day and he is very sure that Margaux wouldn't want to miss her bestfriend's wedding.

"They're all looking at me like I am sort of an experiment---I don't know. I can't wait for this to be over, Love. I want to go home"

"I know, I know. You're gonna be just fine. We'll go home as soon as this is over. Don't worry about them---think of anything else"

She nodded.

She's been in a worse situation, for sure she can endure a bit more.

'It's gonna be alright, Margaux. Radleigh's here. Don't think about what they think of you. As long as he is here, you're gonna be okay. Nothing will happen to you'

After the excruciating wait for it to be over, Radleigh and Margaux's are now on their way to Bella and Edward to congratulate the two before both of them go home.

Margaux is truly happy for her friend, but with her current situation with some of her guests, she couldn't wait to go home. Her Mom's invited too and is now talking with Bella's Mom, Reneé, catching up with each other, she wouldn't want to ruin it. It's been a while since she last had fun.

The two found the bride and groom talking with a coven from Alaska, the Denali's. Radleigh had mentioned them before, but she never met any of the women, only Eleazar when Carlisle called him over once to check up on her.

Radleigh cleared his throat as they got closer, gaining their attention, unintentionally breaking a tension, "Good Evening. I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but Edward, we'll go home now. Margaux is tired and it's best for her to rest. Congratulations, once again. Have a nice night, all of you"

Edward just nodded, patting him on his shoulder while Bella embraced Margaux, "Congratulations, Bells"

"Thank you. Go and get lots of rest. Thank you for coming"

Margaux nodded and then turned to the Denali sister's giving them a smile, but it soon fades away when she saw Irina. A vision suddenly played on her mind. The blonde girl immediately look down, looking anywhere but her.

"You. Why did you?"

"What are you talking about?" Irina snaps. Finally having the guts to look back at her.

"It's you" Margaux said holding her wrist.

Kate then move forward, ready to defend her sister. She took Margaux's hands, used her powers on her, but to her surprise nothing happened.

"Wait, what is going on?" Eleazar asked, putting his arms in between Margaux and Kate. Separating the two.

"An attack. Led by your sister, Irina. She wasn't present, but she's part of it. I saw it" she then turned to look back at the girl, "Children and Women got slaughtered and became an orphan all because of the newborn army you assembled and because of....you" 

"What?" asked Radleigh, he too is confused about what she said, but he knows Margaux wouldn't say something like that out of nowhere to joke around.

"You're crazy" Irina accuses her before turning to her sisters, a frantic look on her face. "I don't know what she's talking about. She's lying"

"I'm no---"

"STOP!" Irina couldn't help herself, she screamed, some guests stopped what they're doing to look at her, weirded out. She looked around, embarrassed. "Stop talking nonsense and making up stories. You really are crazy. Maybe all the experiments are catching up on your brain, messing up with your head"

"Irina. Shut it" Radleigh said, glaring at her.

Margaux looked down.

"I think we should all go on our separate ways to catch up with some other friends" Carmen suggested. "It was nice meeting you all" she said, smiling and nodding at them before pulling Irina with her. The other members following behind.

Once the Denali's dissapeared from their sights, Bella looked at Margaux, her brows furrowed in confusion.

"What are you talking about Margaux? Is something wrong?"

Margaux shook her head, "I don't know. I just......nevermind. I guess I am just really tired that I am starting to daydream things"

Radleigh looked at her, worried. An arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"I'm sorry about the scene that I made. I didn't know what came to me to say that, I was just...."

"Don't mind it. Irina's been in the bad mood before you guys even came. She's upset for inviting wolves. Wolves killed her mate, Laurent we he tried to killed Bella"

The couple nodded their heads before saying their congratulations and goodbye, one last time before going home.
