After barely escaping Malik with my life, we rushed home and took Mrs. Weir with us because we figured she'd be safer with us than alone. I was now in the living room trying to process what had just happened.
"You okay Alt? How are you feeling?" Rauz asked me in a concerned tone, I think he could tell I was still physically weak.
"Im okay...just need to recover, its not everyday I get thrown around like a rag doll. Every single part of my body is aching right now " I replied
Rauz chuckled "I bet...ill go get you some ice"
Mrs. Weir was also sitting in the living room with me, I could tell she wanted to say something but didn't know how.
"You know... you really dug into me earlier" Mrs. Weir admitted
"Yeah, I would say sorry but im not, im really protective-" I began explaining before she cut me off.
"Its okay! I deserved it, I spent so much of Ravens life telling her who she had to be not realizing that I was trying to make her live the life that I wanted her to. It never clicked in my mind how unhappy I was making her" She explained "I think seeing you all together, the way you put yourself before them, the love and care you give them no matter who or what they want to be makes me regret not giving her that"
I sighed "Don't regret it, just change what you can while you can still change it, some people aren't lucky enough to get to do that. She's in her room if you want to talk to her"
"Your right, that's exactly what im going to do" She got up and began walking upstairs
Rauz came back in with Calluna and Finn and handed me an ice pack.
"Well what an insane day, it almost made me miss modeling... almost!" Calluna joked
"I just have to say as mad as we all were, you clearing out the room to fight Malik was so badass, I mean it was something straight out of a movie" Rauz admitted
"Yeah, thats the Altiair I knew in school" Finn added
"Well too bad it almost killed me, if I didn't siphon that energy from Delilah and the floor, id be dead" I replied
"But you didn't, and you used your siphoning abilities again and this time better than before!" Calluna said trying to comfort me.
"Yeah I guess, I just don't know what I can do to beat Malik. I thought I had enough power to at least hurt him but I guess not. I should've just had Raven fight him, I definitely could've taken Delilah"
"Delilah, that little snake... I can't believe she played us like that!"
"Yeah it was so weird how her story switched so fast... Malik wasn't even in on it, I mean he was just as shocked as us"
"Maybe she was scared he'd kill her, or maybe it was her plan all along. Either way we're gonna have to kill her too, shes clearly strong" Rauz said chiming in "Also, wheres Enya?"
"Shes at the academy looking over things" I replied
As we sat there talking I couldn't help but to think about my fight with Malik. I couldn't help but to worry about how I would beat him. Im so used to being confident when having to fight but this was a different kind of fight, and a different kind of foe.
"Okay we put a protection spell on the house, nobody that doesn't live here already can get in unless we invite them" Avian said as Raven, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and himself walked into the room
"Great, thanks!" I replied
"So Altiair I've been thinking about your fight with Malik, and the big physical disadvantage your at and I came up with something. I have a feeling you're not going to like it though" Avian said
