"Oh my. Bell!" Alec came running to her side and she used him to hold herself up with one arm, holding the stab wound with the other. "Did you do it? Did you kill him?" Alec looked nervous and scared as he looked at the back door as if someone would run out of it.
"I think so, his body got covered up by this weird black fog and before I knew it he was gone. I don't remember killing him, something took over my body." Alec simply nodded, he knew it and Bell did to she just didn't want to believe it. Bellona had taken over her body in those few moments to get revenge and tell Mars that he was wrong.
When they finally reached Alec's car he took them to his home again and inspected Bell's side. "Well it looks like he missed all the important spots so I'll stitch this up and take you home." Bell simply nodded in response, dazed by what had happened.
After Alec stitched her stab wound and cleaned it Bell got changed into her normal clothes. "I think I'll walk home. I mean it's only two and a half blocks and I need the air right now." Alec was about to protest but he saw something in her eyes that stopped him. So he opened the door, hugged her, and let her go.
On Bell's walk home she enjoyed the air as it was getting darker out and cooled down a lot since her fight with Mars. She stopped when she was about to pass the street that would lead to the gym and sighed in relief that the whole ordeal was finally over. "Bell? Is that you?" Bell heard Fay's voice in the direction of her house which confused her because Fay's house was in the opposite direction. When she turned to look at her friend Fay was in tears. "Oh my God, Bella I was so worried!" Fay ran to her and was about to hug her when she saw Bells battle wounds and stopped. "Bell? what happened?"
Bell gave a half hearted smile and took her friend's hand."I have a story to tell you." So Bell and Fay continued the walk to Bell's home, where she lived alone, and Bell explained how she was a reincarnation of Bellona and her past with Mars.
"That's crazy there is no way..." Fay trailed off thinking to herself then looked at Bells wounds again. "Oh my God, that's how this happened to you?" Bell nodded and stopped walking looking at her friend, scared of her reaction. "That's awesome! My best friend is a Goddess!" Fay yelled and gentle hugged Bell, who laughed, a little relieved that she wasn't freaked out or scared of her. "So how did you get all banged up?" Fay asked beginning to walk again.
So Bell went on telling Fay about her fight and about Alec being a former soldier of hers. "He even stitched my side up where the Mars guy stabbed me. Look." Bell lifted up her shirts side carefully showing her friend the damage.
"Wow, I can't believe that all happened in one day!" Fay exclaimed as they reached Bell's house.
"Yeah neither can I. I think I'll just be alone tonight so I can think about all this. K?" Bell asked her friend, looking worn down and more mature than ever. Fay nodded smiling and hugged Bell. Tears fell from Bell's eyes as she hugged Fay like she almost lost her. When they finally let go of eachother Bell walked into her house, while Fay turned and went on her way to her own home.
