The tears were flowing steadily, no longer out of heartbreak but of joy.
"C-can it really be you?" She asked smiling.
"Yes, my love. I told you I'd return." He said caressing her face softly.
Her smile grew wider and she leaned into his touch with closed eyes. The second she became comfortable in his touch her body tensed, a dark memory clouded her sunshine. He had killed her father.
"Y-you..." She stuttered.
He knew that look. He knew once he unlocked her mind, she'd remember everything. She scrambled away from him and stood.
"I can explain." He said lowly.
"How... h-how could you possibly explain this!?!?" She shouted.
"Kitten please..." He pleaded.
A sharp pain tore through her chest. The tears came fast again. The man she loved for most of her life, had killed the man that had given her life. Her world crumbled around her. Her wings appeared behind her. She gasped... She hadn't seen them since she was little. They were larger than she remembered.
She looked down to the ground and looked back at him with a deep sorrow in heart. She jumped off the roof and flew.
"Jasannah!!!" He cried out.
She ignored him. The only thing she focused on was the wind in her ears and the night sky in front of her.

Xerxes quickly made a mind link with Adonis.
"We have a problem."
"What happened?..." Adonis asked.
"I kissed her..."
"And??"
"I used my magick to undo her mother's binding spell..."
"You what!!!"
Adonis ran and jumped to the roof.
"Where is she?" He asked.
"She flew away..." He whispered.
"Flew?" He asked.
Adonis remembered teaching her how to use her wings before The Queen forced the binding spell...
"Where's she go?"
"Like I know." He said smartly.
Adonis cut his eyes at him. "You have no right to be a smart ass right now; you're aware that I have to summon the Guard to find her correct?"
"No, they cannot know that I'm here." Xerxes said with panic in his tone.
"Well you know what that means right?" Adonis asked.
"Yes... You and Simone will become fugitives of the Crown; They'll think you stole her..." Xerxes said sadly...
"That's not what I'm worried about." He said jokingly, with a sly smile to the side.
Xerxes's face twisted as he became lost in what his Uncle said; a look of confusion paint on his dangerously beautiful features.
"We have to go get your Aunt." Adonis said, chuckling slightly.
