He nods. “Good.”
He opens the door and leaves, giving me a small wave from the porch. I wave back before I shut the door behind him. I go find Mason and the two of us head to the living room to watch a movie. After the first movie, I go to change and feed Wren. When I come back Halona and Moira have joined Mason. I curl up between him and Halona on the couch while Moira hugs the baby. The four of us spend the rest of the day eating junk food and watching movies.

AriaSometime in the night I hear banging on my front door. I check my phone to see the time. I see thirteen missed calls and texts on my phone. Beside me Cash stirs. “What's happening?” Before I can answer I hear my name shouted through the house and the sound of feet running up the stairs. “Aria!”

Aria “Aria!” Cash pulls me in his arms while Mason grabs the phone that I dropped in the snow. “What's going on?” He asks into the phone. He listens for a minute before he speaks. “We are in the woods.” I listen as he gives them directions. Then he hangs up the phone, sliding it into my pocket. They give me a little time to compose myself before the three of us set off. Mason sniffs again, turning to his right. Me and Cash walk along behind him. He sniffs the air again,

“Leaving so soon?” A voice asks from behind them. “Seriously? You totally ripped that from every cartoon villian in every movie!” Halona says, rolling her eyes. “Say another word and I will rip out your tongue.” Halona is violently shoved forward, landing on the ground in a heap. I notice her hands are tied behind her back. I glance at Moira but she is barely concious on her feet.

I spin around to find a woman I haven't seen before coming around from the side of the house. She is tall and thin. Jet black hair and milky white skin in stark contrast. Her eyes are a fiery red which is the only difference from her brother. She looks just like Thanatos. “Eris.” “Ah, I see you know who I am, little one.” She smiles as she glides across the snow. Her short black dress hits at her upper thighs and her shoulders are bared to the elements, but if the cold bothers her she doesn't let on. “I know that my brother is going to be so sorry that he missed this.”

Aria I open my eyes to find a familiar face standing over me, smiling kindly. “I died, didn't I? That's why you are here?” “Well, I have been told I have the face of an angel but I never believed it until now.” Comes the laughing reply. “You've got the face of a horse's rear-end and the personality of a wounded bear. Now, bac

AriaHe looks down at me, clearly shocked. “What?” “I love you.” I repeat, looking into his eyes. “You don't have to say it back or anything. You don't even have to feel it. I just, I couldn't go another moment without telling you how I feel about you. I love you. I love everything about you and I want you in my life all the time in whatever capacity you care to be. Whether it's just you going back to being Maddy's friend or-”

AriaTwo Months Later “Halona, hurry up! We are already late.” Moira says, sounding frantic. “Moira, calm the fuck down. I am almost done.” Halona says back, pinning the last curl into place. “There. You look perfect.”

Moira I look around the market for my sister but I can't find her anywhere. Where the hell could she be? I have circled the place three times, looking behind every curtain and in every booth or vendor stall. I am sure that there are a few merchants who think that I might be crazy, but that's okay. I just want to find Halona and get out of here. I have spent more money than I planned to and my arms are weighted down with my purchases. “Where the hell are you Halona?” I wonder aloud. I might actually be crazy, considering that I am now talking to myself..
