" Yeah, she'll probably need one too. Brusies like that don't form for anything. "

(Same but half the time I can't)

Thankfully that's all that's wrong with her. Other than the tiny cut on her cheek, but it's smaller than even a papercut so nobody should be worried about that.

(Yeah, me too and so I'm usually in a bad mood after that :P)

"So...should we wait until she wakes up or just start going now? She brought her kelpie, right?" Puck asked, looking around for the beast.

Ares had stayed with Ethan.

(Gtg for a while, guys)

She's still unconscious.

(oof)

(peace)

" I think hes upstairs with Ethan. "

(Back for a little while)

"Their mom," Puck asked, staring into his face. "Their stepdad. Are they dead?"


He gave his head a small shake, a tiny movement in the shadows. "No," he whispered without looking at any of them, his voice flat and dead. "Theyre just...asleep. When the ice melts, they should be fine, with no memory of what happened."

She continues to silently lay there, asleep.

Lise looked relieved at that.

Ash nodded without looking up. Puck drew Lise aside. "Ill deal with Ash, Princess," he murmured. "Why dont you check on your brother before we go?"

Isiea starts to stir.
