I could not think straight.

Nicholas this, Nicholas that.

Azula wasn't much help either. She wasn't responding to me ever since the party.

I wanted to be as far away as I could be from Nicholas before I would get enchanted to fall for the asshole. I shake off my thoughts, trying to stay on track. I needed to finish packing my stuff.

Things got a little too out of control back at the pack.

Obsides lunae.

(Hostages of the moon.)

My family haven't exactly stayed out of trouble since I left and I have been receiving letters about them while I was at school but for this situation I pleaded the Academy to grant me a leave of absence.

Of course I wasn't allowed a break from school with no valid reason. However the Academy allowed me to return to my pack because of my mother getting imprisoned again and there would be no one to take care of my siblings.

I'm not saying that I'm thankful for my mom being sent to prison but the timing couldn't have been any better.

I needed this break.

A week or two shouldn't be a struggle.

I impatiently wait for the taxi driver to pull up to the airport. I was running a little late for my flight. After paying the driver more than the ride had cost, I rushed to check in.

"Athena?" I look my left in surprise.

"Niña?" I exclaimed. She was across me in the next line for first class passengers, for a different flight.

There was a scarf around her neck, hiding her bruises. Her eyes were slightly puffy, you could tell she was crying all night.

Yet she still looked quite beautiful.

"Look Athena, I hope you can forgive me in the future, and it's not my place to say this but for your sake, I also hope you can forgive him." She leaned closer and whispered.

"What are you talking about?" I had a confused look plastered on my face.

"You'll understand sooner or later." She shakes her head. "Just know I'm incredibly sorry for marking-" She had looked overwhelmed with herself, unable to continue her sentence Niña had looked down to the floor.

"Niña I don't understand what you're saying-"

"I'm saying I never intended to mess with anything that Selene has created. I truly wish you and Nicholas the best." She dumps out on me all at once.

My mouth forms the shape of an O as I realised her thoughts.

"I don't despise you for having something with Nicholas. That was before me, I wasn't even in the picture yet." I reassure her. "And you have done nothing to me." I add

Well nothing that could compare to the other shit that has happened to me.

"That's the problem, I wish I could do something." She looked pissed off for a second but dismissed her thoughts. "My return to Astor was brief but news about me would eventually reach Fontaine."

"Wh-what?" I wondered if I had zoned out through the conversation as the topics kept changing to me.

"If this is the only thing I can do for you then so be it." She says.
