Their Untouchable Little Mate
As the final pieces of dirt fell into the hole and covered the metal, I suddenly felt a strange sensation on my skin.
It was the mark. It started to tingle, a sharp and steady heat that made me flinch. At first, I thought it was just my imagination or the stress of the day, but the heat grew until it felt like it was actually burning. I pulled back my sleeve and looked at my arm, and my eyes widened in surprise.
The dark lines of the curse mark were literally burning away. I watched as the skin turned red and then cleared, the black ink vanishing as if it had never been there in the first place. I kept watching until the entire mark was gone, leaving my skin clear and smooth.
