[-Northern Fortress-]

The room was filled with …

Crying hunter …

Screaming rogue werewolf …

Desperate brother …

Magenta was looking around the vibes of the room.

'We just found the next chosen one and now … we lost her! Who will replace her now? Damn … I also failed my mission if that's the case.' The fairy thought to herself.

Lucas hugged Selene tightly.

Refusing to accept that his younger sister has passed.





Suddenly … "Luke … I can't breathe! You are holding me too tight, you're crushing me!"

It surprised everyone.

As if they saw someone scary.

Taken aback by the scene which unfolded in front of them.

"Woah!" Lucas was shocked at the sudden awakening of his younger sister.

Letting her go from his tight grip.

Even Freddie, Booth and the others were astonished from her sudden awakening.

"Malia!" Booth exclaimed.

Wiping his own tears.

"OH MY GOD!" Magenta could not contain her surprise.

Selene was completely dumbfounded with what was going on around her.

"What's wrong? It's like you have seen a ghost …" Selene remarked.

"You were literally dead! As in no signs of life …" Magenta reiterated the fact regarding Selene's death.

Lucas still could not believe that his sister is alive and breathing.

At the same time … his gratitude and relief that she came back to life was more important.

"I thought you were going to die on me!" Lucas hugged his sister again.

Selene smiled at the thought of her older brother. 

"Of course, I won't leave you like that! After all … who would clean your mess if I am gone? Hihi~!" Selene hugged Lucas back.

Amelia and the rest laughed at Selene's response towards her older brother.

"Malia, you really scared us there! Thinking for a moment that you really died on us." Booth expressed his surprise.

"Booth … My name is Selene so stop calling me Malia. I can remember everything, now!" Selene revealed the return of her memories.

"You mean …" Freddie uttered in fear.

"Yes, Freddie! I can remember everything. Now, I can distinguish the memories I have. Even the one which you told me … about Georgie but in fact was Alcyd." Selene glared at Freddie for lying to her before.

"I am sorry for the lies I've made. It was because of my selfishness and my fear for your safety." Freddie genuinely apologized for his mistakes.

Not including the real reason for lying.

Because of the feelings he has for her. Freddie could not confess his love for Selene while knowing Lucas would smack him for it and the outcome of his confession.

He knows … only rejection awaits for him if he told Selene the real reason for his lies.

"I understand! I do not have the time to waste in dwelling for something which can be forgiven. The important is … you are sorry for it and you know your mistake. Owning up to it and being apologetic about it is enough for me. Don't do it again because I don't know if there will be another chance I could give for that kind of lies." Selene forgave Freddie on the spot.

"Since you are alive and well … We would like to discuss about your new set of priorities, Your Empress!" Remy took the opportunity to discuss about the future plans of Selene.

Though, Amelia gestured for Remy to calm down from her sudden excitement.

"This is not the time for that … We need to let her recuperate first …" Amelia whispered to Remy.

"But …" Remy wanted to insist.

The serious look on Amelia's eyes made Remy gave up with her initial intentions.

Ingrid smiled at the sight of their Grand Elder reprimanding someone loyal to her.

"I am sorry … Remy, was it? There is nothing else I want to do … but go back to the arms of the man I love." Selene refused to accept any plans aside from returning to her mate.

Partially revealing her priority at the moment.

At the same time, when Booth heard Selene utter such words. He expected that Selene was referring to him.

Returning to him.

When he was about to say something …

"I miss my mate … Alcyd! I need to go back to him! I have been away for a long time. He is suffering with my absence for sure!" Selene thought of Alcyd being in a complete mess without her.

Then the pain of disappointment invaded his senses. 

Realizing that Selene prefers to be with someone else … and was in love to someone else.

Before Booth could another thing …

Selene remembered something.

"Why are you here, Freddie? Are you supposed to be with Alcyd? You are still a member of his Golden Crew, right?" 

It dawned on Freddie that Selene was still unaware of Alcyd's current status.

'Oh fuck, I haven't told her yet about Laura!' Freddie gulped in nervousness.

This was his second chance of being honest with Selene.

Remembering Selene's warning. 'No more lies!'

-Gulp!-

In a deep and cold dungeon.

Someone was chained with some plain clothes on.

"You will be imprisoned for a life time until we deem you worthy for release. Until you find in yourself worthy for second chance. Then we may think over if you would deserve a pardon from the crimes you made." Magdeline told her daughter.

"I will never beg for your mercy … you old hag!" Mia remained spiteful towards her mother.

Susan felt pity towards Mia.

The daughter of the most powerful witch.

It was a pitiful sight to behold.

"Then you will remain here for the rest of your life. In this dark and cold place. Death will be too easy to grant for someone like you. What you need is to contemplate on the horrors of your crimes."

"I will never and do not regret any of it … Even if I was given another chance … I would do it over and over again! That will be my answer to your useless hope!" Mia spat after rejecting her mother's words.

Both Magdeline and Susan left Mia chained … and sealed.

In a place only the two of them knows.





Tears fell from Magdeline eyes as she walked away from her own daughter.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, YOU OLD HAG!!!" 

"FUCK YOU!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SKIN YOU ALIVE ONCE I GET THE CHANCE!"

Susan could see the pain in Magdeline's eyes to hear and see her only daughter become the person she has turned into.

Someone unrecognizable and completely … a nightmare for any mothers.
