"Ivy, I have to fight in this War, there's no option for me. I have to keep Luke and Clarissa safe. Ensure that they don't die or get turned into a beast like me" Maxy spoke passionately to Ivy as Bastion listened on with interest.

Jovianne stared at Maxy, feeling helpless. She felt the familiar sting of guilt. He was always so passionate when it came to his family, and so incredibly brave about it. She didn't know what to say to that. "You could leave them with Olivia," she said wildly, "She'd protect them. War is dangerous, and you have so much to live for!"

"NO!" Maxy shouted. "Sorry but I can't do that. She's in enough trouble as it is, Mum wants them to go over to France to be with relatives but Dad won't let it happen. We all stay together where he knows were safe. See this necklace? It links us all together, so we know if anyones in danger, it gives us an automatic portkey to get to that peron, wards be damned!" Maxy panted out in frustration.

Jovianne looked at her feet, as she brushed her hair away from her face. She knew he'd never have bought it, but the worry remained. At least she could stop Bastien. She'd lost Maxy long ago. She didn't know what to say again. "But what if something happens to you, then what?" she asked worriedly.

"Who the hell cares about me? I'm just a filthy beast as YOU so kindly informed me once" Maxy suddenly spat at her face.

Jovianne felt a rush of shock at his words. It was true, she had said those words. Of course he'd never forgive her for that. She'd been so stupid. She turned her head away from him, unable to meet his eyes as her own became dewy. She felt her lower lip trembling, and she didn't know what to say.
"I-I-
She stammered at Maxy while staring at his feet. The apology seemed lodged in her throat, and she didn't know what to do.

Maxy felt like an idiot. How could he have done this to the woman he loved?

The two stood in silence for a while. Jovianne was grateful that Bastien knew when to remain quiet. She knew he'd have a million quesrions kater, but for now, she had no answers. She looked up at Maxy finally, still not sure what to say. An apology for her actions seemed weak. How do you apologize for what she'd done?
"Maxy, please," she pleaded, not sure what she was asking for, just something besides his hatred.

She bit her lower lip at those words. He just knew how to make her feel more guilty. She'd destroyed the best thing she'd ever had, and for what? Jer parents words of warning? Her schoolmates stories? For what?
"Please don't hate me," she begged softly back, stepping closer to him.

"Weren't you listening? I could never hate you! I love you and I 'd love to have children with you!" Maxy exclaimed as he stepped closer to her.

She stared at him. Her mind was reeling. How could he still want her, after what she'd done? Nothing could ever fix her mistake! She stared into his eyes, entirely too confused. One minute he was angry, the next he loved her? She didn't know what to do. She completely forgot Bastien was right there and listening.
"B-but I hit you!" she exclaimed, as words spewed out, "I hit you and kicked you out that day. I treated you terribly! Why? Why do you still love me? How can you forgive me?"

"Because that's what unconditional love is! I don't care what you did to me! I'll always love you, even if you were to put a daggar in my back, I'd love you!" Maxy axclaimed as he held her by the arms.

Jovianne had never been so confused by someone before. One second Maxy was angry, the next he was saying he wanted her back. How she wished he wasn't so forgiving. She could deal with his hate, she could understand it. But his love, it confused her. She needed to consult a Seer, or her star charts. She couldn't make this decision on her own. She suddenly felt nervous as he approached her. Suddenly she found herself in his narms again.
"What am I supposed to do?" she asked him nervously.

"You know I can never make my own mind up," Jovianne said with a weak smile, "Can you really forgive me for what I did? I-I was a complete bitch. You deserve much better than me."

"I just just as worse as you. I was the one who got your family kicked out of their home" Maxy added with an apologetic smile.

"That wasn't your fault," said Jovianne, brushing his hair with her fingers, "Daddy was going through a financial loss anyways. Besides, it's not like anyone knew we were dating. Brayden figured it out and told his dad, who had my dad removed from polite society. Daddy was losing money anyways, he was doomed from the start. It's why he's sl desperate to get back in. If we do get back together, I'd have to leave my family anyways. They'd never understand."

"If my family can cope with it then yours should be able to. Hell the Malfoy's have been around for a lot longer than your family have" Maxy said as he leaned into her touch.

"They aren't supportive of creatures," she replied uneasily, "Or of love marriages."
Both were true, but she hadn't told him the full truth. She'd always kept things hidden from her parents, and them hidden from Maxy. She knew they'd never approve.

"So what do we do? Bestides won't this little twerp say something?" Maxy asked as he pointed in Bastion's direction.

Jovianne started, realizing her younger brother had seen everything! Everything! All her years of secrets, unravelled in one minute of passion! Mon Dieu! She moved away from Maxy, to Bastien who was staring at the two wide-eyed, and slack-jawed, as far as he knew, she was the good daughter, the one who did what her parents said!
"Bastien," she began nervously, "Please, please don't tell maman and papa! They'll kill me if they find out I'm dating a werewolf!"

"E-Eolande c-can ask the trees." The Dryad stated quietly before placing one hand on the tree and whispering to it, "Can you find Little Yew Tree, please?" But then Eolande screwed up her nose and eyes, trying to hear the reply. "I can't hear!" She said, "I can't understand the tree, it's too quiet!" Calla didn't know what to do. Yew was lost and Eolande couldn't understand what was happening. What should she do? |

Eolande was already frightened, terrified. Little Yew Tree was gone, and Mean Little Girl wasn't very happy. Now, the trees wouldn't speak properly. Eolande couldn't hear the trees! When Mamma and Eolande had spoken to trees, it had been clear, and Eolande could understand. Why couldn't Eolande understand the tree? "The tree's speaking to Eolande, but Eolande can't understand! Why can't Eolande understand anymore?" She seemed to be speaking more to herself and the tree then Calla.

"I honestly don't know Eolande, maybe it's because of what happened to them during the battle?" Calla replied back to Eolande.

Eolande shook her head, "Eolande's spoken to injured trees. They still talk, they always respond to Eolande. Eolande can always understand!"

"No, No! Eolande used to talk to trees when she was upset. One day the stars were gone and Mamma was tired and went to bed early. Eolande was scared of the no stars, so a tree spoke to Eolande." She couldn't understand why the trees were quiet, the always spoke to Eolande! Eolande hadn't been a tree herself in so long, she took joy in speaking to these trees- but now they wouldn't speak! Where they trapped? Was the Fire coming and they couldn't speak?

Calla had had enough, "Well why don't you stay and talk to the trees and I'll check Lexie's hut, maybe Yew's gone back there" Calla told the tree as she started to walk in the direction of Lexie's hut.

"No!" Eolande protested almost automatically, her hand moving out as if to grab Calla's arm. Then, she realized what she was doing and slowly pulled back, eyes even wider. "Eolande d-doesn't want to be alone. Eolande can't talk to the tress... They would tell where Little Yew Tree was, but Eolande can't speak to trees, not now."
