My mind was unconscious. But I was somehow awake. I was not able to know my surroundings no. But I was really open to my own mind. And I felt dark. Pain. Slight torture. I squirmed so that the dark power would set me free. It had not left me from last night. Yes I'm sure it's morning already.

But amidst the pain I suddenly felt a warmth pooling to my forehead and reaching to the back of my neck. It flowed to my back to my spinal cord and I'm pretty sure I shivered.

And then, just like that, my eyes snapped open. I jumped out off the bed.

'He was here! He tried to kill me!! I was so scared...!' I cried and trembled and wept. Emily rushed towards me and gave me a big hug.

I opened my teary eyes and blinking my tears away I saw Daemeon, Airen, Luthiann and a couple of eleves which were healers, soldiers and few of the ladies. I turned back to Emily's shoulders and cried silently, when I remembered something.

'The fairies. All of them were hiding behind me. They were hiding. Where are they?' I asked everyone. I looked like a maniac, I sounded like a maniac.

Luthiann came to me and prised me away from Emily. Luthiann pulled me away from the watchful room and hugged me.

'Are you feeling well Josephine...? We thought we lost you..' she whispered caressing my hair. Before I could say anything Daemeon and Airen walked to us from the room followed by Emily.

'I thought I lost you' said Daemeon holding my hand in his big smooth ones and kissing on the knuckles. Airen averted his eyes. But came near me and asked 'Are you doing well..?.

I nodded and repeated 'The fairies...?'

All the four of them looked at each other concerned and troubled. Luthiann hit Airen's elbow, he shook his head at her and he in return hit Daemeon at his chest. Daemeon looked down at Emily but he noticed she was shaking.

He held her shoulder comforting her. And he told me 'They were killed...'

I stood there stunned. 'Killed...?' I repeated.

Emily sobbed. Luthiann pulled her from there and nodded to the boys.

'Yes... by magic. Dark magic to be more precise. We don't know where from a dark magic source had entered. We found you twitching and screaming from last night...' said Daemeon sadly.

'We tried to calm you. We thought the dark power had caught you. But you did not show any signs of a dark power possessed person. You were squirming in pain and saying "Let me go". It was clear you were trying to fight the power. It was really painful for all of us to watch' said Airen stepping forward to give me a hug. But I moved back, wanting space to clear my overloaded brain. Airen felt hurt but he neutralized his face quickly.

'The fairies died...' I mumbled. 'You saved me... Why not them...?' I asked them

'Like Airen said, you tried to fight the dark power. Fairies might have a power on their own but they weren't strong. The power overwhelmed them and they got killed. They were impossible to bring back to life' said Daemeon.

The healers and other people inside my room came out, greeted Airen and Daemeon, looked at me kindly and left.

'The fairies who had power weren't able to fight on their own. You... Josephine are just a human. How did you fight the power?' Airen asked.

'Do you have any powers that we should know about..?' asked Daemeon.

'No.' I lied blantly.

They raised their brows. I repeated 'I don't... If you'll excuse'. Saying so I went back to my bedroom.

I plopped down to my bed. Not even hesitating to cry. I pulled my hair.

'Why...? Why me...?' I cried. 'Why does all this happen to me...?'.

I was shaking.

"I'm don't anír -nan- a toui uin prophecui!!!' I cried out.

Translation: "I don't want to be a toy from the prophecy"

Yes. All of this is happening to me because someone found about the prophecy...
But there was no one at the mystical garden with me and Lady Lavinia... I'm pretty sure Emily does not know anything about it. No. One knows about it...
No one...

I rubbed my temple. When I slowly realised something.

No one knows about this. But Lady Lavinia had said Faeranduil knew about this. If there is one person who could give me an explanation to all this.

Then it's the Aran himself...
