3rd POV
"Where is she?" Myrna orders.
"She hasn't said a thing since she's woken up," Owen informs Myrna who nods as she walks in to see Dahliana tending to Nurren's arm.
"You're always getting hurt," Myrna comments earning a glare from Nurren.
"Just as I expected," a voice spoke up.
Appearing before them is Nurren's translator. "What do you want hag?" Nurren questions with her usual blank look.
"You three will be returning home in a week. Be prepared or I'll drag your corpses to the grave," the woman snaps as the orb explodes.
"Guess that's that I should go pack," Nurren yawns much to her sisters amazement.
"What? We're really going home?" Myrna spoke up for both Dahliana and herself. "The Hell's wrong with you!?!" With a grim look Nurren looks over at her stopping the two for a further interrogation.
"They need us back home. Amberley, Zephyren, and Amora. We can not abandon them with that wench," Nurren simply concludes then standing back up walks out.
...........
"Nurren your awake," her comrades spoke rather relief.
"I have to pack my things please do not bother me," Nurren turned all their pointless chatter down. Her harsh demeanour surprising them all especially William who attempted to speak to her.
Myrna POV
"What has you so down?" Vanessa hiccups handing me a bottle of wine.
"We've been ordered to return home. We leave in a week," I answer her as I take a swig of the bottle.
"What!?!" Finral shouts out of the blue.
"Eavesdropping again Finral?" I snarl at him about to break his bones only for Vanessa to use her string and toss him out.
"Anyways in that case take this one instead," she says handing me a bottle of saki. "Now continue?"

Dahliana POV
"Hello Lady Dahliana."
"Hello."
"You look lovely as ever Dahliana."
"As do you Madame."
"She's been pretty glum lately."
"Yeah."
"Wonder what's wrong?"
"I'm sure Rill could lift her spirits."
"Here," Walter says out of the blue handing me a large slice of carrotcake.
"Thank you," forcing a smile on my face I take the slice of cake to my room. Now inside I carefully place the cake down. Six days until we go back to that terrible woman.
~Mini Flashback~
"Now that Nurren and Myrna aren't around you all will behave," mother smiles as she holds a hand out on her ear as if listening in on a dirty secret."Do you hear that?" Shaking our heads no her smile darkens."Quite a harmonious noise. Silence what a blissful thing. Dahliana step forward"
Staring at me I look over at Amberley who shakes her head no with Amore stepping forward. Mother being delusional couldn't tell the difference between the three of us and all three of us wore matching cloaks. Her mana far more intimidating than ours. She reaches for her grimiore summoning three giant fish skeletons similar to pirahnas. As if swimming in mid air they dive about and around the three of us.
"Don't think because I can not see you that they can't," the horrendous woman spouts as they dive towards me.
~End of Flashback~
Flinching at the remembrance of those creatures was like I relived it all over again. Of what that monster put us through. The feeling of those attacks we foretook. Sometimes I wonder how Nurren could handle all of that and still remain silent then remember her visit to the Witches Forest.

"Please do not bother me I'm working," I lie as I tend to my belongings packing my books first.
"Dahliana we need to talk it's important," Rill spoke up.
"In a sec!" I give in hiding my case in my near empty closet.

Unlocking it I let him in then proceed to shut the door behind me. "Would you like to split the slice?" I question him as I offer him the carrot cake. With a nod we eat the cake together then get to what he really wanted to speak to me about.
"Are you really leaving in a week?" Rill questions with a serious face that look much like a pout which I found quite adorable though I'd never admit it to him. I nod then head towards the door only for him to turn me to face him.
"How long are you going to be gone this time?" He questions me in a gravely serious tone.
"I don't know," I answer honestly turning back towards the door to open it only for him to push me against it.
Crsh
My eyes watch as the plate shatter to the ground as if in slow motion. "Why do you keep leaving me? Dahliana do you even know how much I hate when you're not by my side. I try to make the perfect masterpiece for you, but none of them seem right," Rill says as I avoid his gaze.
"That isn't my fault Rill and you better let go of me now," I attempt to threaten him.
My legs want to give out under his touch. He harshly pins both my wrists above my head. "I'm not letting you go until you tell me what you did to me? Why can't I get you out of my mind? What spell did you cast on me? What is it that keeps you in my head?" He demands closing in on me until I felt his hot breathe hit my neck.
Quickly turning to face him I kiss him.

3rd POV
"We're leaving Dolly and that's final," Nurren announces as she hoists her sister Dahliana over her shoulder despite the one injured arm.
"No I don't want to leave! We hate her! She makes me sick to my stomach! She hurts us!" Dahliana cries outloud.
"Don't worry we'll be back then she can be all yours again," Myrna assures an anime crying Rill who then nods and wipes his own tears away with a handkerchief Walter offers.
