At First Sight

Fourteen

Third p.o.v ~

Vivian passed out, going limp in her mother's arms.

"Vivvy? Vivvy!?" She said worriedly before checking Vivian's pulse and calming slightly. "She fainted, please can your pack doctor come?" Magnolia said.

"Yes, yes, of course love." Emily answered. Running back through the house for the land-line, which connects to the pack house.

"What's wrong, why the pack doctor? Won't that be risky?" Mark said as he crouched low.

"It doesn't matter she's passed out and we can say you guys have a personal doctor friend that makes house-calls." Magnolia said as she gathered her daughter more in her arms. "She may not know but she's still a kitsune, a pack doctor will have better knowledge. Plus her twentieth birthday is in four months, the seal will break little by little and..." Magnolia fell silent.

"And she has a lot of shifting to make up for." Mark finished for her in a grave tone.

"Yes." Magnolia said with a sob. "All this time I've been waiting for this, but now that it's here and the seal is breaking I can't stand it. I didn't know it'd cause her this much pain."

"It's okay Mags, this seems bad but it's fixable. I'm going to calm down the girls, what should I tell them?" Mark said as he slowly rose from his crouch.

"Tell them the coven princess is waking, and she needs to do it on her own time." Magnolia said in a cryptic way, after all Carnelia and Analise were coven members first and they'd understand.

"Okay. I'll be right back" Mark said softly with a hand on her shoulder, he gave it a squeeze before heading to the family room to tell the girls and keep them from the front of the house.

As Mark told his daughters, Carnelia's face dropped; their earlier conversation came back to her and she wondered if Vivian was the coven princess in more than just convenient name. Maybe.. Vivian really was as powerful as Yuki, the first Flowers of Jade Coven leader. 

Analise however, lost control of her emotions and started crying. She even tried to run past her dad to see the girl that thought her name was beautiful, the pretty girl with the pretty glow around her.

"I've called him, he'll be here in about five minutes!" Emily said hurriedly as she sat next to Magnolia and stroked Vivian's forehead. "We should move her to the kitchen, there's more room in there."

"Okay, okay you're right. Help me grab her." Magnolia replied.

Mags grabbed her daughter in a bundle and Emily kept watch as they went to the kitchen. Once inside Mags crumpled to the ground and held her daughter tightly.

There was a knock at the door and a slight pause before the front door opened then closed and a frantic man came running into the room.

With a strong square jawline, and bright green eyes, you could tell from the sibling resemblance this was Mark's brother. His almost black hair had silver running through it and the mixed stumble on his chin gave him a rugged silver fox look, despite not being fully grey.

He stopped short when he faced the three women in the kitchen of his brothers house.

"Magnolia..." Henry said lowly, almost to himself; before his medical training kicked in and he got on the ground, stethoscope in hand.

"What happened?" He asked while listening to the steady heartbeat of the child in Magnolia's arms, it was steady and slow.

"I..I... I don't really know! We were in the family room and then we heard a yell and we found her screaming, bleeding from the ears." Mags said while wracked by sobs.
