Eve looked at Ben. The earth fairy sighed. "I'm not sure either. It's been a while since someone got caught in Farah's trap."
Eve looked at Ben. The earth fairy sighed. "I'm not sure either. It's been a while since someone got caught in Farah's trap."
"that was mom?" she asked as the air caught in he throat. " wait.. shes still alive! if her magics not gone shes still.."
Eve's eyes widened at the realization. "Oh my–"
On cue, a flicker of light appeared in the corner of the greenhouse. It shimmered like a mirage, then gave way as the magic dispersed. There stood Farah Dowling – alive and breathing like any other. She lifted her chin in the air and smiled knowingly. "Very good, Anya. I was beginning to worry none of you would figure it out." Her eyes twinkled with amusement and, more importantly, life.
Eve gasped with relief. "Mom!"
anya got up an ran to jump and hug farah. " you scared me! how could you!"
Farah winced at Anya's hug – her back was still healing – but she hugged the girl back. "I'm sorry. I needed you to believe it as much as Rosalind did in order to successfully fool her. I would've told you sooner, but you've all been quite busy."
She released Anya from the hug, looked up, and made eye contact with Saul. Ignoring Ben's protests, the Specialist stood up quickly and ran to his wife. He reached her, ecstatic to see her alive, and drew her in for a long kiss. Normally, Farah would've kept the embrace short and sweet, but she clung to Saul like a life-line and kissed him until they both needed a break for air.
"ew." anya joked and walked back over to eve, helping her to her mothers side.
Saul leaned against Farah heavily, gasping for breath. "I thought I lost you," he whispered so only she could hear.
Farah put her lips directly beside his ear and murmured softly. "Never."
With Anya's help, Eve reached Farah quickly, and she practically fell into her mother's arms. "Mom," she sobbed, and Farah held her tightly.
" you can apologize to that one." she said a little snappy. anya was fine until it came to caring about eve. when someone hurt her it was a very good sight
Farah hugged her daughter close and breathed in the familiar scent of her hair. "Oh, Eve…" she whispered, her eyes pooling with tears. "I'm so sorry, my love." Eve trembled in the embrace and refused to let go.
anya looked to saul, giving a sigh of relief
Saul had eyes only for Farah as she held Eve tightly.
"Mom…" Eve repeated, her voice thick. She sobbed into Farah's shoulder.
"It's alright, my dearest," Farah murmured, stroking Eve's hair. "It's alright. I'm here."
anya took a stroll outside, grabbing her sword and wrapping the hilt and her hand
"Anya!" Saul called after her. "Where are you going?"
Eve lifted her head, tears blurring her vision. "Anya?" she whispered.
anya could fee rosalind nearing. get the FUCK away from here! she growled to the woman
What are you going to do about it? Farah Dowling isn't here to protect you anymore.
Eve stiffened in Farah's arms at the woman's voice.
"Eve?" Farah asked worriedly. "What is it?"
"You need to hide," Eve whispered. "Rosalind is coming."
" no shes not, but im protecting my fucking family whether it kills me or not."
Such spirit. Your mother would've been proud.
–
"Hide, please," Eve repeated urgently. "She can't see you."
Farah nodded, peaking a kiss on Eve's cheek. Saul caught her wrist before she could turn back, and they shared a deep, loving kiss before he released her. She smiled, tears in her eyes, and looked between them. "Don't worry," she murmured. "I'm right here." With that, she waved her hand, and the light magic she possessed aided in her vanishing. Saul sat back down heavily, the Burned One venom spreading wildly.
Eve was quick to take off after Anya.
" wheres the burned?"
How should I know?
Eve came to a stop beside Anya. We know that you know, she snapped, sliding her hand into Anya's.
anya's body temp was running high
"Darling, are you alright?" Eve asked in a whisper of a tone.
" no im pissed. " she whispered back and gripped her sword tighter " you tell me now rosalind and i wont cut your fucking vocals out."
"We fight together, alright?" Eve muttered, looking around them for any sign of the cruel ex-headmistress.
That's a sweet offer, but the way you threaten could use some work. It's more like this. Why don't you two submit to me as headmistress, and I'll leave your father alive, Eve.
" don't you dare fucking threat her. I promise you your going to end up in the ground!"
Rosalind laughed. This will go much smoother if you both cooperate. I have the Burned One that scratched your father somewhere safe. It's impossible to find, I promise. Now, I need you to submit your position as headmistress to me, and I promise I will kill it. If not… well, I'm not sure how long Ben's Zanbaq will be able to resist the venom.
