(Jade's POV)
Ryder limped towards me, his hand clutching a wound at his side.He held his hands in the air, clearly a sign of surrender. I grasped my knife in my right hand, it's dripping blade raised towards my approaching beloved. His lip was split, his head cut, and he looked to be in pretty bad condition. Gritting my teeth, I cringed as I fought the urge to go help him.
"Jade, please, please, f-forgive me" He said, his voice weak and filled with pain.
Swallowing a lump in my throat, I spoke. "Why should I?" Was my simple reply.
"Please, it was all lies. Lies! She- she had my l-little sister! I had to! Please." Ryder fell to his knees, clasping his hands together in front of him as if he was pleading with his beloved.
"Who? Who had your sister?" I asked, averting my eyes and trying desperately to keep the emotion out of my voice.
"She - she has many names, but is mainly known as the Dark Goddess, or the Dark One." Ryder's voice turned dark. "She seeks to kill you and your sisters."
I couldn't fight it anymore. Shaking, I ran over to Ryder and hugged him hard, glad to feel him alive in my arms. Then i signalled Niamh over to heal my Ryder.
