Without Kaelen's knowledge, I had his little plaything sent out of North America. That same night, he cast a blood-vine curse on my parents, banishing them to the wilds—a wasteland prowled by rogues. He was going to trade my parents' lives for the whereabouts of his plaything. Kaelen pushed a communication crystal in front of me. Inside it, my parents were ensnared by blood-red vines, the thorns digging deep into their flesh. Drops of dark crimson blood fell, one by one, onto the barren earth. A countdown timer pulsed in stark red digits on their chests. 23:59:59 23:59:58 He sat across from me, a black suit tailored to perfection molded to his lean, powerful frame. His long fingers tapped a light, steady rhythm on the solid wood table, as if he were waiting for a trivial business deal to close. "Estelle, you have twenty-four hours." His voice was low and calm, laced with a venomous tenderness. "Tell me, where did you send Cassandra?"

They say fire is cleansing, a transformative type of destruction. After a forest fire, nature heals and grows stronger. It's forever changed but not destroyed. Fire is painful but beautiful, something that is warm but left unattended can be devastating. In the flames I was broken, destroyed, but in the ashes I was restored. Left floating in the grey, the smoke that led me through a divine transformation. Now I'm left adrift, the dark my only guide in the smoke, the blue of the sky, of his eyes, the only guide in the light. Forever torn and pulled between the two, unsure who I can trust and terrified to make the wrong choice. Not just my life hangs in the balance, but the lives and well being of all of humanity. It just might be too much for these wings to bare.

Hari kedua setelah resmi menikah, aku berdiri di bandara sambil memegang dua lembar tiket pesawat, menunggu suamiku, Yoel. Akhirnya dia datang, tapi ada Wenny di belakangnya, sahabat masa kecilnya. “Sayang, Wenny baru putus cinta. Aku mengajaknya ikut biar dia bisa melepas penat.” Ujar Yoel menjelaskan dengan nada hati-hati. Wenny mengenakan gaun pantai yang sama persis denganku, lalu melemparkan senyuman penuh permohonan maaf. “Kak, aku nggak mengganggu kalian, ‘kan? Aku hanya mau ikut biar kecipratan kebahagiaan kalian saja.” Aku melirik tangan Yoel, ada tiket ketiga yang terselip di antara tiket kami. Nomor kusinya 16B. Sementara, kursiku 16A dan Yoel 16C. Yoel sengaja menempatkan Wenny tepat di tengah-tengah kami. Aku berdiri membeku dan amarahku langsung meluap ke kepala. Aku menarik Yoel ke samping dan berkata pelan, “Suruh dia pergi atau aku yang pergi.” Wajah Yoel tampak serba salah dan agak pasrah, dia menjawab, “Sayang, bisa nggak agak pengertian?” “Wenny bilang dia takut sendirian di rumah, makanya mau ikut biar suasana kita juga lebih ramai.” “Lagipula, aku dan dia sudah kenal sejak kecil. Pergi liburan bersama juga nggak masalah….” Aku langsung memotongnya, “Kalau kamu nggak suruh dia pergi sekarang, kita cerai hari ini juga.”
