I had begged tonight

I had gotten on ed the coven for help

They had been sad to turn me away I could tell they had wanted to help ive me what they simply didn’t have No matter how much I needed it No matter how much I wanted it They simply didn’t have the only potion that could save Tulip

“The bite,” Daisy says “It’s hurting her”

“We’re out of options,” I tell her, whispering “I’ll leave at dawn”

“Rose, no,” Daisy says, realizing what I’o”

“I don’t have a choice, Daisy If I don’t go to the capital city and get the potion, the de to kill Tulip”

“Nobody is going to blao,” my sister says

“I’ll blame myself,” I tell her “She’d do the same for me”

“No,” Daisy shakes her head “She wouldn’t”

“Maybe not, but that’s not what this is about, is it? It’s about doing the right thing, Daisy, and you know this is the right thing”

“But the king” Her voice trails off and I knohat she’s thinking Dark fairies are banished from the capital city Dark Falls is known for its zero-tolerance policy If I’o there, I’ll be executed within days Maybe hours

It’s a risk I’ve never been willing to take until now

“I don’t want you to leave,” Daisy whispers “What if you don’t come back?”

“I’ to come back, Daisy,” I tell her “I always come back”

“Maybe there’s another option”

“Like what?” I knohat Daisy is trying to do She’s trying to find any reason, any idea, any solution that will preventto Dark Falls because the risk is seriously incredible If I go, and I’ht, then Daisy won’t just lose Tulip She’ll lose me, too She’ll lose two sisters for the price of one and wouldn’t that just be ironic?

“The coven,” she starts to say

“I was there tonight They didn’t have it”
