K'agosk POV.

It has been almost three weeks since they left. Three weeks, and nothing has changed. I haven't seen or spoken to my sister or brother since the day I left for work. I was hoping that they would come by and visit, but no such luck. That's okay though, they're probably having a hard time dealing with everything that's happened, but at least they're alive.

Everything that happened between us was a lie. Everything was just a ruse to make sure nobody knew what was going on. I hated lying to my family, but it would be much easier if no one ever knew what really happened.

I still love her and care for her deeply. I don' t want to leave her alone, but I can't stay with her forever. I need to find myself and start living a life without her.

I woke up to the sunlight shining in my face. With a groan, I opened my eyes to adjust to the brightness. As soon as they adjusted I sat up and stretched my arms above my head. Looking around the room I noticed that I wasn't alone. Sitting in a chair next to the window was a small figure with dark green hair. My heart clenched in my chest and my mouth dropped open slightly. "You're awake! Good, because I was afraid that you'd sleep in for another hour." L'isaisa exclaimed, standing up from her chair as she closed the curtains. "What-what happened? Why am I here? How did I get here? Did I-did I kill him?! Is everyone else okay?!" I shouted frantically. L'
