~~~(POV: Violet Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:45 AM)~~~

We're not that far from Greshina at this point. About a day and a half, and according to the magical item, Cera and Hailey are remaining in one place. Meaning they've for sure reached wherever they need to be. "Mommy, we've been after them for so long... Will we even be able to recognize them?" Marcus doesn't know how much his words hurt.

They've changed their appearances in that of elves, same as us. I won't be able to tell who they are based on their looks if I see them in public. If I meet them in the place they're staying. It'll be easier to find it out. "Listen, sweetie... Hailey and Cera may look different, but we'll find them all the same." I have not come this far to be stopped because I can't recognize my children. 

Marcus doesn't seem happy with my answer and moves on ahead of us. We ran into a roadblock of bandits, but we dispatched them. They wouldn't let us pass no matter what we tried, and that left of no other choice. I don't like having Marcus kill, it makes me sick inside, but that's the world we live in now. I'm thankful he understands what he's doing and knows that he should only do it when necessary. 

Chris has been doing all he can to help calm my drive to a more moderate level, but this is the closest we've been to Cera and Hailey, and I'm not getting sidetracked now. There have been enough of those, and it's time that I get to see my kids. "Honey, don't be so upset with him..." Chris misunderstands my feelings at this moment.

I'm not upset with Marcus, and my sour mood is based on myself. The irrationality of a mother is something that people suffer from more than once in their life, and I'm one that has those irrational moments more than others. "I'm not upset with Marcus... I'm upset with myself..." He looks to me for more of an explanation, and I find it oddly cute.

He's not experienced the moodiness that comes with being a woman and the overzealous and overprotectiveness that comes with being a mother. The emotional range that I have as a woman is far more volatile than his. "I've been a very silly goose, to put it lightly..." That's an understatement, but it's the kindest way I want to put it.

I've been hard on myself lately, and it's for my own good. "Hey, I don't know what you want me to say. I vowed to never lie to you, and I can't say that you haven't been like that since Cera and Hailey left." I can't help chuckling at the good excuse he's used to be blunt with me. His love for me is more than enough not to be angry with his opinion.

He feels like he needs to do more, and that's my fault. "I appreciate your candidness and know that I will always want the truth. Even if I don't want to hear it." Despite us being in our early twenties again, he still walks on eggshells regarding my age and weight out of instinct. I no longer have the body of a woman who's had 3 kids...

Many would claim that I looked great, but I could spot the imperfections in my form from a simple glance in the mirror. "Now that you'd brought the subject up, what do you think about how I've been acting?" His question surprises me the same way my response to his did. He's not acted out of the ordinary. He's been the same as he's always been. The man that I love and cherish.

~~~(Location: Palace in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:00 AM)~~~

Today is the day that Blezikel and I are escaping from Greshina and leaving our mother and her madness. She's caused too much damage and is spiraling further into madness. "We should hurry. There isn't much time left." We finish descending the final steps into the lowest levels of the palace, and we make our way to the entrance of the secret passageway.

My hands land on the false wall, and Blezikel helps me push the path open. We stand together in the old dusty hallway leading to our way out. "We have a few hours to get far, and hopefully, that's enough to get away." My sister voices her hopes, and I agree with her in every sense. I don't know if we have that much time, but no reason not to be optimistic. 

We start running and moving at high speeds. We're both very fast and agile. "When mom catches on to what we're doing, she'll likely turn the country upside down and use our absence as an excuse to kill more people..." She's right about that, but our fate is in our own hands. We can't worry about every life out there. We have to put ourselves first. 

Blezikel is far more loving and caring than I am to the people we're meant to rule. While I do care for them, I don't care for them enough to risk my life and mind and soul for them. I'll not have the sins of my mother thrust upon me. I won't be around for when that's supposed to happen. "They're fate is their own, Blezikel." She nods a single time running next to me.

She's resolved herself to do this with me, and I'm glad. "Perhaps one day, someone will end mom... It's a sad thing to say and think, but that's the only way to stop her at this point... Will you forgive me for saying such things? I can't forgive myself..." This is weighing harder on her than I thought. We can't stop and have a deep talk, but I can give her what she wants.

We increase speed and continue down the path. "I'll forgive you for anything, Blezikel... You're not the only one feeling that way... Mom will need to be put down before she ever stops..." There is only a matter of time left before she starts her crusade, and I'm hoping that my sister and I are out of the entire Kingdom by that time.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Safe House in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:45 AM)~~~

Sally stirs next to me as the sun shines into the windows of our room. Everyone else in the house should be getting up. This was the first night that Sally didn't need to stay attached to me to sleep. It may not mean much to many others, but that tells me she's all the safer on her own. "Morning, lover..." I can't help but smile and cringe at the way she addresses me.

I don't think there is any way you can make saying Lover sound sexy... "Yeah, that doesn't really work, does it?" She acknowledges my funny look, and I start to full-on laugh. She's coming out of her shell, and I'm loving her more and more. "Today is the day... We're starting the plans..." She's right about that, and she doesn't sound scared. Sally sounds relaxed.

There is much to discuss once everyone is awake and many things to check and prepare for. Who knows what could go wrong between the time we prepare and plan to when we initiate the plans. "Yeah, we'll be moving on the palace and the Orvello Estate in the coming days when we know what we're doing." Her happy expression doesn't change at the mention of her family.

She's more than ready to face them, and I find her more and more attractive I see this new her.
