"I’m fine brown eyes," he reassured her
"I felt your heart stop" Her hands treet back so that the witch doesn’t decide to notice you"
Sally started to step back but her eyes landed on Cypher She turned to Rachel, whose eyes were on the King as well Sally knew that Rachel felt the sao to him, to help hi in them could not stand to see someone in pain They both started to slowlynot to draw Mona’s attention Gavril and Costin inched in front of the two healers trying to block any attack

Peri’s mouth dropped open and her head turned as Elle and Ada circle "Lorrelle?" Peri’s eyes filled with betrayal Elle’s hand came up to cover her ry as Peri
"Yes, Lorrelle She has been somewhat helpful towith all the boo-hooing about how you thought you were so much better than her The truth is that you are better than her, Peri You are much more powerful and she couldn’t stand it So, if you are wondering where your precious stones are, you have your sister to thank"
Peri’s face ht surrounded her Elle and Adaed as well as they stepped forward and drew upon their oer Alston caic wildly at Mona The other Fae joined in and Mona laughed as she danced out of the way and blocked shot after shot The wolves began to regroup and circle the witch, trying to get a get chance to ical bolts

Mona roared as she watched the first demon be destroyed Her head whipped around to where the arrow had originated She started ht up short when the Fae formed a wall between her and the elves on that side of the circle Another dark form burst forth and another, and then another
