IRENE POV
It's been three days since Antonio has disappeared.
The ex-pope turned head-priest has once again taken over the pope's roles and the church has issued a statement that Antonio got a missive from the goddess and was on a retreat.
I don't know where he is, or when he'll be back.
I'm scared.
And Sheri is... acting strange.
She hasn't slept. I'm not sure if it's from coming back to life, or whatever happened, or because the cost was Antonio.
She eats, but not enough. A few bites here, some fruit there. I'm worried.
I...lost too much gaining her back, but she seems like a simple shell.
Not the woman I fell in love with.
That I fought the world for.
That I turned my back on my people for.
I miss that woman. That warrior.
I miss Antonio. My little shadow. He used to follow me everywhere. He wouldn't leave my side. Sheri was so jealous. And I loved every minute of it.
I want my son back. Once he's back, everything will be better. It will all go back to normal.
Julianne is catching on. She's starting to ask questions.
"Where is Antonio?" She asked.
"When can I see him?" She'd slide into random conversations.
"You know, these two are great but I miss my big brother." She'd say after spending some time with the twins.
"I want Antonio!" She'd yell after a bad dream late in the night.
I think we're all going crazy. Even the twins don't seem alright. They only spent two weeks with Antonio yet it seems he left a lasting impression.
We just need him back.
I didn't realize he was the glue holding this family together until he was gone.
We need our glue back.
We need Antonio.
