Jada

I'm gonna go on a little rant again.

I am an extremely petty person. If you piss me off I will be a total bitch and leave you crying without a second thought—I don't know who you are and if you're gonna be a dick then I definitely don't care. You can call me names and say my book is trash but I will roast you and completely destroy you until you are a blubbering mess swearing to never touch Wattpad again. SO TO YOU ANNOYING LITTLE SHITHEADS THAT KEEP COMMENTING STUPID CRAP ON MY BOOK: PLEASE STOP PISSING ME OFF BEFORE I TAKE IT THAT FAR BECAUSE I HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT RUINING YOUR LIFE YOU IGNORANT DIPSHITS.

Okay I'm done now. Enjoy :)

Actually no, just one more thing (and I'm pissed I apparently have to say this)

RAPE JOKES ARE NOT FUNNY

Okay now I'm done.

*****

"I'm not going."

"They need your help!"

"I don't care. If she's so smart then she can figure it out herself," I sneer, my lips curling in disgust.

"She's clearly trying to rekindle your relationship, you should try as well."

She's only trying to gain your trust so that she can kill you.

"Allowing me back onto the territory that is rightfully mine is a fucked up way of apologizing," I snap.

"She was a child then, don't you remember making questionable decisions when you were a child?"

I purse my lips with an annoyed glare. "You're kidding right?"

"I mean an actual child—before she cursed you."

I roll my eyes. "That was more than a century ago, of course I don't remember," I snort, flopping down onto my couch.

"Can you please be serious for a few minutes and just listen to me?"

They're making you weak.

I sigh. "Yeah go ahead," I grumble.

"From what you've told me, Syrra has always had a thirst for blood. Even with her power suppressed she was able to conquer all three clans. And thanks to you she will have her full power back eventually, it would be wise to gain her favor."

I make a face. "Her favor can suck my dick."

Nix lets out an exasperated sigh. "Jada please? Can you at least try to fix things with your cousin? For me?"

They're making you weak.

I feel something twist inside my chest. "Damn it, why do you always do this to me?" I mumble.

"Because you always make me."

I shake my head with a small smile. "Fine I'll help—but we're just going to the Devil's Circle! I don't want to see my cousin just yet."

"Right now I think the dragons need your help more than she does."

The dragons can help you take the throne.

I rub my temples. "I've only heard stories about the king," I murmur, "but for his mother's sake I hope I can help find him."

***

"Jada what are we doing here?" Nix asks, tugging on my arm.

I pause, then glance up at the building for a moment. "I just need to make sure someone I trust knows where I am."

"You don't trust me?"

I smile. "Of course I do, but you're coming with me so I need to talk to someone that's going to be here while we're gone," I explain.

"Oh," Nix mutters with a small frown.

My hand finds theirs and I lightly kiss the back of it. "Don't worry, you're the person I trust most in this world."

"I should hope so after everything we've gone through."

They're going to do it again.

I clench my jaw and feel my fingers go numb. "Yeah," I murmur under my breath, looking back at the building.

"Hey I didn't mean it like that—"

"Yeah I know," I say quickly. I blow out a shaky breath, wiping my sweaty hands on my cloak. "I'm just really nervous about being back here."

I suddenly feel Nix's hands on the sides my face, forcing me to look up at them. "Jada I promise I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

A promise that can't be kept.

I nod, trying to calm myself but I can't seem to make my heart slow down. "Maybe this wasn't a good idea," I mutter.

"Hey, come here."

I shuffle forward a little, letting my head fall onto their chest. Their arms wrap around me and a tiny smile creeps into my lips at the immediate feeling of security that engulfs me.

"No one is going to hurt you as long as I'm around okay?" They whisper gently.

They're lying to you.

I make a small noise, closing my eyes as I sink into their warm embrace.

"Jada? I thought you needed to talk to someone."

"Yeah but this is more fun," I murmur, my fingers curling into the thick fur of their cloak.

"Let's go talk to whoever this person is and I promise we can cuddle later," they chuckle.

I pull away with scowl. "I'm going to hold you to that. I could use a good cuddle," I sigh. My fingers stay curled tightly around theirs as I walk up the steps of the tavern.

I push open the door and the reek of liquor and harsh scent of perfume bombard me. My nose wrinkles and my mouth twists into a grimace as I lead Nix through the mass of drunken bodies.

"Come on girlie it'll be fun. Just stop fighting."

My skin crawls more with each step and I can hear the blood rushing in my ears with each throb in my temples. My breathing grows more shallow and the air seems to be getting warmer with each passing moment.

"If you don't stop struggling we're going to tie you up."

I feel Nix squeeze my hand, dragging me out of the dark depths of my mind.

I finally reach the back counter where a woman with dark hair stands, her eyes flicking up to meet mine as I approach. "What can I do for you Miss Jada?" She asks.

It's her fault. She just stood and watched.

"Nix and I are heading to dragon territory, I need someone to keep an eye on my house until we return."

"When will that be?"

"I'm not sure. I'm going to see if I can help find the king and his mate," I explain.

She nods. "I heard about that. Poor Zari, she lost her mate and daughter and now her oldest son is Gods know where," she sighs, "I pray that you find him."

She doesn't care if you come back.

I smile. "Thank you. Just tell anyone looking for me to leave a note if it's not urgent and I'll speak to them when I am finished helping the dragons."

"Very well, would you like something to drink before you leave?"

"No," Nix says quickly, throwing me a pointed look. "Thank you but we must be leaving."

"Oh right. Thanks again," I tell the woman before shoving through the horde that seems to be growing more chaotic by the second.

I suck in a gasping breath as soon as I step outside. I can suddenly hear clearly again and there is a sharp tingling in my extremities as my skin touches the winter air.

They're watching you. They know you can't fight back.

"Are you okay?"

"That was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be," I admit, bracing my hands on my knees.

"You've been in there since then haven't you?"

I shake my head. "No I always made Diane come outside to speak with me."

"Why didn't you do that this time?"

"Cause you were with me so I knew I'd be safe," I murmur, squeezing my eyes shut as the memories threaten to surface again.

There is no such thing as safe.

My heart starts to slow as we move away from the tavern, but the pounding in my head endures. As Nix fixes the saddle on the massive destrier, my gaze flits back to the forest that extends behind the tavern.

They won't be there to save you next time.

"What were you doing that day anyway?" I find myself asking.

Nix sighs. "Jada I still don't want to talk about that."

They're hiding something.

"Okay," I say, but not knowing was starting to eat me alive.

You could make them tell you. You deserve to know. All it would take is a simple spell and they would spill all their secrets.

I clench my jaw and furiously clap my hands over my ears. "Just shut up," I hiss, shaking my head.

Nix grabs my wrists and bends down to look me in the eye. "You told me it was better." Their voice was firm and held an underlying fury.

"It was but—"

"Jada you told me you fixed it," they growl.

I cringe, my fingers tangling in my black curls. "I don't think that's what's causing it—"

"You cut out part of your soul! Do you know what happens when you do that?"

I close my eyes and nod, gripping my hair tightly. Pain shoots through my scalp until Nix tugs my hands away from my head.

"Jada what happens?"

"The shadows start to fill the void," I mumble dejectedly.

"The shadows start to fill the void," Nix repeats angrily. "The voice belongs to the shadows—if you don't fix it, it's going to get worse until you can't ignore it anymore!"

There is a sudden pressure behind my eyes as exhaustion sinks deep in my bones. "Can I wait until we get to the Circle?" I whisper.

We'll be stronger then.

Nix presses a lingering kiss onto my temple, their thumbs brushing away the tears on my cheeks. "Of course."

They stand upright but I don't move. "Do you need a few minutes?" Nix asks gently.

Yes.

"No," I murmur.

They nod and help me onto the back of the horse before swinging themselves up behind me. I lean back into Nix's chest as their arms curl around me to reach the reins.

This road is dangerous. You'll die out there. It's too cold and there are too many cliffs.

I pull my cloak tighter around my body and close my eyes as the destrier begins to trot up the mountain path.

"We need to go through witch territory unless you want to walk—it's too dangerous to take a horse that way," Nix says.

You can finally kill her. You can be the new queen.

"We'll be walking for days if we go that way. We can go through the clans but we can't stop on the territory. I doubt Syrra informed them that I'm allowed to return," I sigh.

"Okay."

We come up over a ridge and a sharp wind whips across my face. Tiny shards of ice and snow cut across my cheeks and send a chill down my spine.

"Fuck it's cold," I hiss.

Soon you won't feel anything.

Nix pulls me closer and adjusts their cloak so that it covers both of us. "You should rest, we've got a long ride ahead of us."

******

She stares at me with wide eyes. It takes a few moments but they eventually light up with recognition.

"My Gods is that really you?" She asks.

"I forgot we haven't seen each other since before this happened," I mutter with a sheepish shrug.

She laughs a little. "You look almost the same, just—" she pauses.

"Smaller," I finish with a smile.

"As an adult you were almost a head taller than me, it's strange to see the top of your head barely reach my shoulder," she recalls.

"I was a very small child, I didn't grow much until I was about 19 unfortunately," I sigh. I shake my head a little when I start to feel the warmth coming off of her in waves. "It's good to see you again Lyza."

She pulls me to her in a tight hug. "Thank you for helping Angel and Zella, we visited them just last week and their babies are just perfect," she says.

I grin. "I'm glad. They were one of my favorite couples. Angel reminded me a little of myself so that was interesting."

Lyza laughs. "I can see the resemblance there," she tells me. She sighs a little then steps back, glancing between Nix and I. "I imagine you two are exhausted. I'll have Fara take you to one of the guest rooms and I'll explain more tomorrow."

"Okay."

She smiles again but it doesn't reach her eyes. "Thank you for coming here, if anyone can help it's you," she murmurs.

"I promise I will do whatever I can."

She nods before turning to the girl sitting on the floor just in front of the thrones. I frown a little. I hadn't even noticed she was there. She had been silent since we arrived; she simply stares blankly at the floor.

"Fara can you take them to one of the rooms by yours?"

The girl stands and motions for us to follow. Nix walks closely behind me as we make our way through the palace. My eyes move over the marble floor and golden accents but they keep returning to the girl.

She drags her feet as she walks and her shoulders are hunched over, it's as though she wears her grief like a bag on her back. There's something else though.

I don't know what it is but I can feel something off about her.

"Are you close to the king and his mate?" I ask.

She turns and glances at me for a brief moment before continuing through the hall. "It's my fault."

I frown. "What do you mean?"

"It's my fault they're gone. The wine I gave them was poisoned. They didn't even want to drink it but I insisted," she murmurs, her voice cracking.

She confessed. Punish her.

She stops at the end of the hall and motions to the door. "Uh you can have this room I guess, no one is in any of these but this one has a better view," she says.

"Can we talk?" I ask.

Her eyes widen in surprise. "What?"

"I want to talk to you, is that okay?"

"Uh, sure," she mutters, frowning a little.

Nix opens the door and Fara steps inside. I start to follow but Nix stops me. "Before you start talking, you need to fix your soul."

"I don't want to do that it in front of her, I barely know this girl," I hiss.

They roll their eyes. "You just invited her to come into our room and talk but you don't want to fix your soul in front of her?"

"I just—"

"Jada please. I'm really worried about you and I'm afraid the voice will make you hurt this girl," they whisper.

My eyes go wide and I step back a little. "How did you—"

"There's something different about her, there's no way the shadows wouldn't notice."

I purse my lips and Nix grasps my hand with a heavy sigh. "Look we can talk to her for a little but I know if you don't do this now you're going to keep putting it off until it's too late," they say.

"Fine," I grit out.

They move so I can walk inside before closing the door behind me. I immediately stop.

The girl is passed out on the bed, using her arm as a pillow.

"Uh," I mumble, "what should we do?"

"Let her sleep, we can talk to her tomorrow. She said the room across the hall is empty so we can sleep there tonight."

"Okay."

"Poor thing," Nix murmurs.

I bite my cheek, shaking my head a little. Fara suddenly sits up gasping for breath and I leap backwards into Nix who steadies me with a small chuckle.

"Gods that scared me," I breathe, holding a hand over my heart.

"What—what happened? Did I fall asleep?" She asks with wide eyes.

"Yeah a little bit. Are you okay sweetie?"

She groans, letting her head fall into her hands. "This week just keeps getting worse and worse. First I get poisoned and almost die. Then Zari has to put me through an Awakening to save my life. And then I wake up and find out Jaxon and Ash are gone because of me."

She's a feral dragon. Kill her.

"You knew Jaxon and Ash well then?"

"Yeah I've spent a lot of time with them lately."

I watch with mild amusement as she starts yawning. "Go get some rest sweetie, we can talk more in the morning," I tell her.

She smiles and nods before saying goodbye and retiring to her own room.

"You're not going to fix it tonight are you?" Nix asks tiredly.

"I'll do it tomorrow."

"Jada you've been saying that for weeks now. It's getting to the point where you aren't going to do it until it's too late."

I groan. "Look I'm exhausted and I haven't tried to kill anybody yet so it's fine. I promise I will fix my soul if it gets worse, okay?"

They shake their head with a frustrated sigh. "Fine," they mutter, sitting down on the bed.

I climb up onto the bed behind them and carefully untie the scarf. I fold it up and set it down on the dresser before looking back at my mate.

I can't imagine them with eyes. It's almost uncomfortable to even think about now.

They remove their cloak and help me out of mine, placing them both on the dresser. I kick off my boots and slide under the silk sheets of the bed.

Nix slips their arm around me, pulling me firmly against their chest. "You know I'm only trying to keep you safe," they mutter.

I smile. "I know."

*****

I bounce on my heels, swinging my hips and humming along to the beat as I brush my hair. Through the mirror, I spot Nix standing in the doorway with a wide grin.

I flick my wrist and the music changes to a song with a slightly slower tempo. I spin on my heel, holding out my hand with a flirty wink.

They shake their head with a small chuckle before taking my hand. I interlace our fingers and let my other hand rest against their shoulder as they curl their arm around my waist.

We sway from side to side and Nix shakes their head again when I fill the room with a red glow.

"What?" I ask, unable to contain my smile.

"Nothing it's just, I don't know what I'd do if I woke up one morning and you weren't dancing," they say.

"It's one of two things I still enjoy," I say, turning my gaze upward.

I twirl my fingers and the ceiling disappears, allowing the snowflakes to fall into the room. I can't help the giggle that escapes my lips as one lands on Nix's nose.

"What's the second?"

"What?"

"You said dancing is one of two things. What's the second?"

"Spending time with you," I say.

They grin so wide I can see their fangs. They lean down and I close my eyes as their lips press gently against mine.

I've never really enjoyed kissing but Nix likes it so I don't mind.

They pull away and tuck my hair behind my ear. "You should fix the ceiling before a dragon sees," they chuckle.

"You think they'll freak out?"

"Considering there's music playing with no instruments and the ceiling is missing and it's somehow snowing and warm at the same time? Yeah," they laugh.

I scowl as I wave my hand to make it go back to normal. The music stops too and the red glow is gone.

"I already want to go back home," I mutter.

"Oh come on, you hardly ever leave anymore. This is good for you."

I purse my lips in annoyance as I snatch my brush off the counter. I run it through my hair, grimacing at the strands that are now wet from the snow.

I hear a faint knock and Nix quickly ties the scarf around their eyes before going to answer the door. I walk out of the bathroom just as Fara steps into the room.

"Are you feeling better sweetie?" I ask.

She nods, sitting down on the couch. "A little, thanks for asking. And I uh, I wasn't really paying attention when Zari introduced you, who are you exactly?" She asks with a nervous smile.

"I'm Jada," I tell her with a small chuckle.

"So how do you know everyone?"

"Family friend I suppose. Not too long ago I helped the Dragon King's aunt have a child—well I recently heard they actually had three. I've known Lyza for a very long time though, I actually knew her father before she was even born."

She gapes at me. "Wait how old are you?"

"117."

"What?" She exclaims.

"Yes I know I don't look that old, I'm stuck looking like this for the rest of my life thanks to a stupid little bitch that decided to curse me," I grumble with a heavy sigh.

"Woah, I mean that's kinda cool but I guess I can see why you wouldn't like it," she says. Her gaze shifts to Nix as they suddenly disappear into the bathroom without a word. "So who is that?"

"Nix, they're my mate," I tell her.

Her eyebrows furrow. "They?"

I nod. "Yeah."

"Huh, that's different. So if you don't mind me asking, what is the cloth over their eyes for?"

"Nix is a creature that I call a split-soul," I start. "They have no eyes but they see through a spirit-like being that they share their soul with."

"Wait they don't have eyes?" She asks in shock.

I shake my head as I settle down on the edge of the bed. "No. And they'll take the scarf off if you'd like to see, Nix normally wears it so nobody freaks out."

"Okay so they see through a spirit then?"

"Sort of," I mutter. "I'm not entirely sure if it is a spirit but it behaves like one, Nix's looks like a falcon. It's name is Zizi."

"Why can't you see it?"

I laugh a little. "It's basically a spirit so you can only see it if you have the Sight."

"The Sight?"

"It's what we call the ability to see spirits, Jada is one of the few who has it," Nix says, walking out of the bathroom.

"Wait really?" Fara asks, her voice peaking with excitement.

"Yes but I cut out a piece of my soul so I can't do it anymore," I sigh.

"You cut out part of your soul?" She shrieks.

"Calm down it's not as ridiculous as it sounds," I mutter in annoyance.

"Wait so you can survive without your whole soul?"

"To some extent yes," I say with a quick shrug.

"Interesting," she remarks. Then she glances at Nix nervously. "I hate to ask but the curiosity is killing me—"

"I don't mind," Nix chuckles. They kneel down in front of me and I carefully untie the cloth.

I hear Fara gasp a little as I take it off. She narrows her eyes a little, leaning forward as she peers closely at my mate. "That is the coolest thing I've ever seen," she finally says, shaking her head in amazement.

"That's a reaction I've never seen before," Nix says with a chuckle.

I retie the scarf with ease, adjusting it so that it won't pull out any of their hair. "I need to dye it again," I murmur absentmindedly when I notice the roots are growing out white.

"What color will you do this time?" They ask.

"I really like the dark red, I might just keep it this color," I tell them.

"Well you should fix it soon because it looks like I have blood in my hair," they laugh.

"Wait so you can still see?" Fara asks.

"I can see whatever Zizi sees," Nix replies.

She turns to me. "And you can see Zizi?"

"Not unless my soul is intact," I tell her.

"Sorry I know you already explained this but it's just super confusing," she says sheepishly.

"It's fine, we don't mind."

"Uh so why isn't your soul in one piece? That seems like an important thing to keep together."

I let out a deep breath. "I did that a few months ago. Something happened that messed me up pretty bad and the Sight only made it worse. It made it so that I couldn't move on from what happened so I spent years trying to figure out how to get rid of it.

"And the only thing I found on the Sight was it requires a complete soul so I took a piece of mine and locked it away," I explain with a shrug.

"Wow. So that didn't have any other side effects or whatever?" She asks.

The corner of my lip twitches upward when I notice her hinting tone. "You mean did it make me look a century younger than I really am?"

She chuckles nervously. "Uh, yeah."

"No this is all thanks to my cousin. I was supposed to be the clan leader but she thought it should have been her. She knew she couldn't beat me in a fight—I was much stronger and bigger than she was—so she cursed me with eternal youth.

"And unfortunately for me I was a very small child—as you can see, so I had no choice but to give up the title," I sigh, gesturing to myself.

She frowns. "Wait Syrra's your cousin?"

My eyes widen and I feel my breath catch in my throat. "You know her?" I ask, my voice filled with anxiety.

"Yeah, she's Kaine's mate. I'm actually supposed to go talk to her in a few minutes. Zari thinks she might know someone who can tell us more about Angels—they're the ones that took Jaxon and . . ."

She's here. You can kill her. You can make her pay.

I feel like I'm suddenly trapped in a nightmare. The voice is so loud I can't hear my own thoughts.

"She wasn't supposed to be here," I growl.

Nix puts their hand on my shoulder but I shake it off. "Where is she?" I grit out.

Fara stands, holding her hands out in panic. "Uh I think she's in the throne room but—"

"Take me to her," I snap.

She lets out a tiny squeak and quickly opens the door. All I see is red as I follow her through the hall. Nix tugs on my hand but I keep walking.

The guards open the doors to the throne room and my gaze immediately goes to the two figures sitting on the floor. The woman stands slowly, her eyes widening as she spots me.

"Jada?" She asks.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I spit.

She looks back at the young man for a moment. "My mate lives here, what are you doing here?"

"I came to help Lyza," I murmur, my attention turning to Nix as they move in front of me.

"Jada don't do this now. You dealt with her last time just fine please don't start anything. You came here for Lyza, not her," they say firmly.

Kill her. She deserves it. She took away your future.

"Are you still mad at me?" I hear Syrra ask and my remaining self control vanishes.

"Do you remember what you did to me? Why the fuck wouldn't I be mad!" I shout around Nix.

"Jada I let you back onto my territory. I already told everyone that you're not exiled anymore. You were fine with it before—where is this coming from?" She asks.

"She's not herself right now please be careful with your words—" Nix starts to say but I move around them, my eyes flaring as I stalk over to my cousin.

"I was supposed to be the clan leader and you took that from me! And in the most cowardly way possible. You made your stupid bird scratch me and then used the blood to curse me! Did you really think letting me back onto the territory that is rightfully mine would make up for what you did?"

She clenches her jaw and her eyes flash. "I won't apologize for being clever. And don't forget you took away my power and forced me to use simple spells and incantations for years," she snaps.

Curse her. She's too dangerous.

"Oh no, you had to take over the clans using basic blood magic," I snarl, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "I don't care that you had to work harder to make yourself queen, you forced me to remain a child for the rest of my life! And you can't even undo it because you're too fucking inexperienced!"

"Oh you poor baby," she sneers. "You're stuck looking like a child forever and you can't grow old. I'm sorry I made your life so difficult."

Nix takes my hand, whispering in my ear but I don't know what they're saying.

Kill her. She deserves to die.

I swallow hard, ripping my hand away from Nix.

"Jada don't!"

"Do you want to know what your stupid curse did?" I spit, moving closer so that my face was centimeters from hers.

"Jada stop!"

"What?"

Kill her.

"Has anyone ever tried to touch you when you didn't want them too?" I ask and her eyes widen.

"Wait wha—"

Kill her.

"I'm sure they have but it turned out fine because you could fight back. You could tell them no, right? Now imagine if someone took away the one thing that let you defend yourself!" I seethe.

"Jada I—"

Kill her.

"Do you know what it's like to have a dozen men surround you and tell you to take your clothes off? To have a dozen men tie you up and fuck you and beat you and treat you like a slave all because they know you can't fight back?

"Because of you, I was raped over and over again by grown men. Because of you they forced me to do things I wouldn't even do by choice to someone I loved. Your curse ruined my fucking life."

"Look Jada I—"

Kill her.

I clench my jaw and put my hands over my ears, furiously shaking my head. "Just keep your fucking mouth shut. Nothing you say can make up for what you've done so just leave. I came to help find the dragon king and I can't do that if you're here."

She stumbled back a few steps, swallowing hard. "What happened to you?" She breathes.

Kill her now!

"Go home Syrra before I do a lot more than curse you," I growl, desperately trying to block out the voice.

"Jada!"

A small cry escapes my lips as a sharp pain shoots through my temples. My legs instantly give out and I stumble.

I squeeze my eyes shut, my nails digging into my scalp as I hold my head. It feels as though my skull is about to split in half.

I gasp at the searing pain, tears running down my cheeks. There is blood on my fingertips but I can only feel the screaming voice in my mind.

Suddenly my feet aren't touching the ground anymore. "Jada you need to fix it now," I hear Nix growl.

My head lolls as I remove my hands from my hair. "My sheath," I grit out, reaching for my dagger.

Nix lifts my skirt and deftly unlaces and removes my thigh sheath. I force my eyes open and hold my breath as I remove the blade and drop it onto my lap.

My fingers are slick with blood and it takes me several minutes to tear off the decorative gem on the sheath. The inside is a shimmery blue that moves as it rests in my palm.

I drop it with a harsh scream as the pain flooding my mind suddenly rips through my spine. Nix quickly takes the stone and crushes it against the blade of my dagger.

I gasp as harsh blue light suddenly surrounds me. The pain is replaced by a warm tingling almost instantly.

My chest heaves as I try to catch my breath. Nix kisses my forehead, their hand on the side of my face.

My hand slides over theirs and I smile a little when their thumb brushes away the tears on my cheek.

I feel a weight settle onto my lap and my gaze moves to the falcon. Its piercing red eyes are a stark contrast to its white feathers.

The corners of my lips turn upwards as I carefully reach out to touch it. My fingers brush against the soft feathers on its belly and it leans down to rub its head against my hand.

I take a deep breath, my head falling against Nix's shoulder. "I missed you Zizi."
