"Celest please you have to wake up..." "Ssssissss I know you can hear me. And I do not give you permissssssssion to pull a ssssleeping beauty on me..." "Celestial. Please.... Wake up...."

As the voices fade light slowly blinds me. It was so bright I let out a groan and went to cover my eyes. Everything hurt. The pain was so bad it brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know where I was. But I had a pretty good idea. And I was right. Slowly uncovering my eyes I saw I was in my bed, in my room, in stark tower. I slowly go to move but let out a cry of pain. Everything hurt. And I mean everything. I slowly look down and my eyes widen seeing my arm and leg wrapped tightly with healing golden. My right shoulder was wrapped tightly as well with golden. And as I slowly lift my shirt I wince seeing the black angry bruises that painted my body. I made the mistake of lightly touching them. And when I do I had to keep back a scream of pain. Everything hurt.  I slowly and painfully swing my legs over the bed. And I painfully stumble to my feet. I stumbled my way to the door as everything slowly comes back to me. And as it does tears start to fill my eyes. The fight with Voldemort, the talk with snape, and... The reality of fen's death hit me like a brick wall. I nearly collapsed with grief at the loss of my brother. And I don't know how long I laid there crying. It felt like hours. I was never going to forgive myself for this. For failing to save Fen. He had died because of me. This was all my fault. I was the one Voldemort had been after. And because of me dad had nearly died. And fen... Fen was dead, Because of me. I killed him. I couldn't even imagine how my siblings were taking this. Especially Sleip. Slowly after what felt like two more hours, the pain had died down significantly. I was also somewhat calmer. Enough to where I was slowly able to get to my feet and stumble towards the door. I pause and lean on the doorframe for a minute to catch my breath before slowly opening the door. And as I do I could see a silencing spell break. That's when voices fill the air. They were my siblings. And by the sounds of it they had been crying. That made my heart break. They were crying because of me. Because Fen was dead. As I opened the door more I could finally see just how bad my brothers looked. Sleip looked like he hadn't slept in days, Jörm, who was surprisingly in his human form, had red eyes from crying.  "YOU TWO WERE SUPPOSED TO WATCH HER!!! WHAT HAPPENED!?" I winced at Hela's angry roar. Hela was more then pissed. She was livid. If she was angry at me for fens death, I wouldn't blame her.  Sleip and Jörm say nothing in response to my sisters angry shouts. Slowly I open the door a bit more and I could see Hela in her true form. And she looked terrifying. Her shoulders shook with so much anger I swore she looked like she was ready to kill both my brothers. Then suddenly the door gives a very loud, attention drawing creak as I accidentally moved it and my siblings freeze. Slowly Sleip and jörm look over and their eyes widen.  Just seeing the grief on Sleip's face made my heart clench. Slowly Hela turns her head to me. And the look on her face made me wish I had stayed in bed. I swallow and slowly take a few steps. Sleip is instantly by my side to catch me when I stumble. "Easy celest. You shouldn't be up." Sleip says gently supporting me. I slowly succumb to the grief and start shaking before hugging my brother tightly. And this time I couldn't hold back my tears. Sleip hugs me tightly as I finally break and start sobbing into his chest. "Oh celest. You scared us so much." He whispers pressing a kiss to my head. I cling to my brother tightly and fight to hold back my tears. I was glad that Sleip wasn't angry at me for fens death. I don't think could stand it if he was. Sleip was the most gentle out of all of us but that also meant that when he was angry, he was scarier the Hela. I sobbed into sleips shoulder. Sleip holds me tighter and start gently rocking me slightly. "He's gone Sleip! He's gone!" I wail. Sleip swallows slight before slowly lifting my chin so I meet his eyes. "You scared us so much celest. We didn't know if you would ever wake up. Please. Never do that again." Sleip whispers with a broken voice. Sleip pulls me close to his chest once more and just holds me as I sob. Even though Sleip gave me the comforting support I needed, I was still a mess. I didn't think anything would ever fill the hole that fens death had caused. Then I feel Jörm take me into his arms. I bury my face into his chest as well. It was rare that Jörm willingly shifted into his human form, but out of all of my siblings, Jörm gave the best hugs, ironically. Jörm gently runs his fingers through my hair until it felt like I had no more tears left to cry. "How do you feel ssssissss?" Jörm finally whispers and I could hear his voice was horse from crying. I shake my head, not trusting myself to speak. I knew that if I tried to talk, I'd break down again. Jörm sighs and rests his chin on my head as a tear slips from his eyes. "You sssscared ussss sssso much ssssissss." Jörm whispers tightening his grip on me. "He's dead Jörm. And it's my fault." I choke out, struggling to keep from breaking down. Jörm pauses and frowns before his eyes widen in what seemed like realization. "No. No Ssssissss Fenrir issssn't dead." My eyes widen. "W-What?" I whisper. Jörm sighs once more. "When we got to him celest he was dying." Sleip begins. "But Hela managed to revesssse the effectssss of the cursssse he wassss hit with. But..." My eyes shoot to Sleip then up to Jörm. Sleip sighs and turns his head away. "But what?" I whimper. Hela sighs and comes over taking me from Jörm. I tense slightly, knowing how angry she was, before slowly relaxing into her arm. Hela sighs and gently strokes my hair. "Fenrir is weak celestial. It is going to be a long recovery. For both of you." I swallow processing everything. Fen wasn't dead. Fen wasn't dead. Fen... wasn't... dead! "Make no mistake celestial. I am very angry. You don't know how close we came to losing you." Hela says snapping me out of my shock. I blink back tears and slowly meet hela's eyes. I wince. "I'm sorry Hela. I had to try and save fen. I couldn't let him-" My voice chokes up. Hela sighs and gently wipes away a tear from my eye. "We will talk about this later. But only after you go and see Fenrir. And I believe he will be just as angry as I am." My eyes widen once more. "Where is he?" "Resting. But you can go and see him for the time being." Hela says nodding her head at a bedroom door. I hug Hela tightly making her give a small smile. "Take it sssslow with him ssssissss. He'ssss weak." Jörm sighs. Sleip sighs and turns his head away once more. This let me know just how much all of this had effected him. But right now I didn't care. I had to see Fen. I had to see for myself that he was alive. I nod before turning and racing over to the bedroom door and racing inside the dark room.
