Smiths POV
We went back to the castle and I took charge of going through rythian's stuff with Zoey's help to find something that may help us. I'd strictly told Ross to keep Tess busy so that she would stop stressing and hopefully cheer up a little, if anyone could make her smile it was him. Me and Trott stood with Zoey in the Mage tower, scouring the bookshelves for spells or enchantments we could use to find them. "Zoey do you know where he keeps his books?" I asked again. "Smith I already said if I knew I'd tell you as its to save him!" Zoey said again. "Sorry I'm just you know still hoping its here" I said sadly. "I'm Sorry too but you know." Zoey said trailing of towards the end. I nodded in response. "All I can think to do is to try track them down" I told Zoey. "Well why don't you do that?" She asked. I sighed "if I do try Tess will want to come and I can't risk her getting hurt aswell" I replied."oh, but they won't know you're gone. I'll cover for you" she said. I thought about it and eventually agreed on it, as long as Zoey could keep the attention away from me. "Just be back by tonight, they'll probably worry." Zoey said. I nodded and began preparing for my journey.

Zoey's POV
I kept look out for smith as I helped him sneak out of the castle. "Come back alive, for Tess's sake" I said. After seeing her break down earlier I did not want to watch a repeat of it. I went up to where I'd left my stuff and went out into the palace gardens to speak to the mushrooms. When I got there they told me that Trott had come passed them, so I went to go find him. I walked through the lush, green, gardens, so beautiful and colourful and such a wonderful sight which delighted your eyes. It was nice as it calmed my nerves and allowed all tense emotions relax a little. Luckily having met Trott first was a great confidence booster. I eventually found him stood at the back of the garden holding a single red rose in his hand. I went beside him and placed one hand on his shoulder to try comfort him. "She'll be fine, you saved her before. You'll do it again" I said trying to add a positive into Trotts grief. "But I didn't, something has changed..." He replied sadly.

I didn't know if Storm would appreciate what I was about to do next, but I knew that it had to be done eventually and that maybe it would make things less complicated. "Trott I need to explain something to you. Storm probably wanted to do it herself, but it might help you feel better" I said. He turned and looked at me curious about what I had to say. "Trott Storm has two true loves. One is human, one is magical. And Rythian has it too, that's one of the consequences of magical people going to the human world" I said. He looked at me with a blank expression. "So you're telling me someone from this world is also her True love?" He questioned my fact. I nodded. "But who? She's only just changed recently so it must have been someone we'd met recently" he questioned frustrated. "I know who it is. It's Rythian. They told me the day they found out" I told him.

He looked sad and slightly annoyed. "Why wouldn't she tell me? I'd understand why wouldn't she tell me?" Trott asked. "She said she was waiting for the right time to tell you. I mean she won't have to now, but yeah. Don't get upset about it, she thought she was doing the right thing" I said, defending Storm as she wasn't here to do it herself. "I know I'm fine with it, I just wished shed told me" he said. "I know, and now Storm and Rythian are missing." I replied. He sighed looking rather stressed and I knew exactly what to do. It's what Rythian told me to do so I decided to see if it would work with Trott. "Trott come with me" I said. He followed me on foot, as I flew using my recently crafted flying ring. I took him to the roof and we sat on the edge looking out at the view, the beautiful nature of this realm creating a calming mindset. Trott seemed to calm down a little too. "She would've done this too, thanks Zoey" he said gratefully. "No problem, just keeping everyone together" I said happily, I was glad he felt better, this stuff can get hard and him and storm had been through so much shit I couldn't imagine.

Ross's POV
I was sat with Tess and she'd stopped crying now and was slowly cheering up. "Hey how about me and you, we go chill in that hot-tub again." I suggested trying to distract her. "No thanks Ross, we can chill when everyone's home again. For now I just want to work out what Jets plan is and who's his next target. For all I know it's me because I can bring dead people back to life" she said dropping onto the sofa. "Tess, smith is probably gonna have a plan. I'm sure Zoey can find some of rythian's stuff for us as well. And look at Trott, he's a wreck now it's like he's got one thing on his mind forever and it's your sister" I said. "I know wolfie... Why did this happen to us?" She said miserably. "I don't know, but if it weren't for all the trouble I wouldn't have met the love of my life" I said going over to her and sitting on the sofa beside her. "I guess it had its perks.." She said smugly. I laughed as she smiled and I kissed her. She blushed a light pink smiling too. "I love my wolfie" she said curling up beside me and leaning on my chest.

I laid back and put my arm around her, content with who I'd found and who I decided I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. She was my queen. Kind, caring, protective and indeed very cute and adorable. Perfect in my eyes and would make a great role model and mother. Strangely I wondered what Tess would be like as a mother and what our kids would be like. But that aside I smiled again and looked down at Tess who had managed to fall asleep on me. I kissed her forehead before closing my eyes myself and drifting off with my beautiful girlfriend sat in my lap napping like a princess.
