Have you ever walked outside at night? When it's so dark and you can't see a thing at first? I often do that and I'm never afraid. Because I know that after a while my eyes will adjust to the dark and I will be able to make things stand out. I'm alw...

I let Roan take control during border control. Running in wolf form nowadays was the only thing that kept me going during the day. Ares had played it well, using vervain to take me down. I should have known that he would wait till her 18th birthday. I was distracted and had hoped that he had given up. When I woke up again it was already to late. I was able to see how Orlo pulled Ares from Fay and held him down with Dorian while King Isaac went to Fay.
Every time I close my eyes, I see her lying there again. She was screaming so loud. And then she completely stopped, and she went silent and limp. King Isaac had pulled a shirt over her head and placed his hands over the wound in her neck yelling at me.
I shake my head, I need to stop thinking about it. Every night I keep her close, talk to her but nothing helps. 5 months later and she was still out. Even grandma Maria, who I thought could heal everything, didn't knew how to heal her.
'Can you come back Nixon? They are back and brought back help.'
'I'm on border patrol,' I link back.
'Nixon, she needs you.' Isaac link back leaving no place for argument.

I stand in front of Fay her room. Jupiter was with her like most days. And two new people that I didn't recognize by their scent. One of them felt familiar, it reminded me of someone. Taking a deep breath I enter the room, hopefully ready for what they wanted to try out today.
It's not that I had given up on Fay, but after 5 months I wasn't really sure if there was still hope left. The best doctors and witches in the country had examine her and they all said the same. "She fought so hard against his mark that she needs to rest. Give her time." I hated it, even grandma had said it. But the wound should heal. It did stop bleeding, but it didn't heal.
3 pair of grey eyes look at me when I walk in the room. Jupiter looks worried and shaken. The two other women look surprised and one of them looks like she is in pain.
"What is going on?" I ask Jupiter.
"Look at her," Jupiter said, and my eyes snap back to Fay. "Not her. HER!"
I looked the two women up and down. Both tall, long blond hair, grey and blueish eyes. The one with the silver cloak shakes her head.
"Do I need to spell it out" Jupiter huffs.
"Orlo," I say recognizing him in one the two woman.
"Look, it's not what you are thinking. And we are here for her. Why didn't you mark her?" one of them ask.
"The council suggested it, but we haven't found anything in our history about it. What if I make it worse?"
