A few months later............

Jasmine pov

I still couldn't believe that Luce had tricked and betrayed us. 

Because of her, we were all reduced to babyfied versions of ourselves.

Then again, she probably was either blackmailed herself, or felt like she didn't have a choice in the matter, since her predecessors had gone through the same thing for generations. 

I was currently sitting on a huge couch petting an octopus that I had found, and named it Oodaku. He was really cute in my opinion.

Ah, well. At least I still have my magic and stuff.

"Jasmine?" A voice said. The door opened to reveal Reborn in his babyfied form. 

"Oh, hi Reborn. You adjusting?" I asked, even though it was probably a stupid question.

"Suppose......What happened there?" He asked as his hand reached my forehead. I realize that he now sees my scar.

"...Doesn't matter. The one who did it is long dead....What do you plan to do now?"

"Honestly, I don't know.....You?"

"Probably go back to England and sort things out. Then I plan to settle in quiet Ireland. Oodaku would like it there too."

"Oodaku?"

"My new octopus. Found him a while ago, he's my partner. My old pet Hedwig probably would've liked him. I grew up with her since I was 11, but she died when I was 17." I explained.

"I'm sorry."

"....So am I. To be honest, before all this happened, I kept feeling that something was wrong, but I didn't say anything. I really wish I did....now I couldn't hold my godson anymore..."

"You're a godmother?"

"Yeah. his name's Edward, but I often call him Teddy. Now...now I'm gonna have to watch him grow up and possibly die before I do..." My voice began cracking as I shook. 

Reborn's pov

I've never seen Jasmine act like this. She was always strong, tricky, and headstrong, which I found exciting.

This part of her...spoke volumes of pain through the years. 

Now that I think about it, out of all of us, she probably had the most to lose out of this event. she had a life before the mafia, a family that she cherished. Now this curse will keep her like this while those she cared about would wither and die before her.

And that scar, definitely spoke of a tragic life before she could find her happiness. now, it was all taken away.

I came closer to Jasmine as I eveloped her in my arms, and keeping her close.

I realize that is a good thing she's not a sky, because I don't plan to share her.

I never realized it at first.

But.

I fell in love with Jasmine.
