Harry's POV

Selena and I sat out there. I could see the sunset coming. I saw the colors red, orange, and pink. Selena's head was half way into my chest. I took her sleepy body and carried her to my bedroom. On my way there, I saw Haricella. She was still by the window. She was rubbing her tattoo. I set Selena down in my bed. I pulled the white covers over her and kissed her cheek. I walked back downstairs and saw Haricella standing by the door.

"Harry."

"Yes."

"I'm only doing this for Ariana."

"How is giving her to sellers make it any better for her?"

"You just don't understand."

She began to pace, like Selena. I saw her marking begin to shrivel and stretch as her arm bends.

"What do I not understand?" She continued on with her pacing.

"You don't know what we go through."

"And you think this will work, putting Ariana through even more pain?"

"Ariana was supposed to be with them."

"What do you mean?" Her eyes widen, knowing that she shouldn't have said that.

"Haricella, what are you talking about?" She took a positioning breathe.

"Ariana was supposed to be sold to them, but-"

"But what?" She didn't reply.

"You sold her." Haricella began to cry.

"You sold her, and you never let Selena know."

"Don't tell her!"

"Why? Why should I not tell her that the only family she has, sold her."

"I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"He was gonna take her." She paused.

"Take her away." She continued.

"Who?"

Haricella slid against the door and onto the ground. She put her hands into her face.

"I've never seen his face. No one has."
