Safe Haven

Her ride over to the castle was entirely relieving. At heart she felt safe now in the paws of her mother, even if she didn't really know the man that was carrying her. She was too exhausted now to be so worried about her captors even while she had been so alert before. She slept the whole way back to The Hallows and only woke up once they were moving her onto a cot in the infirmary.

Her eyes fluttered open while her legs felt like anchors as she found her footing off Kane and carefully plopped down in her place, laying her chin down on the beds wishing she could just go back to sleep. She mustered maybe the smallest smile she could as her mother rubbed over her head and spoke to her again, but she would have nothing to say. Her eyes moved to Kane as he started preparing a better treatment for her but she wasn't on edge about him anymore. She'd help maneuver herself however he needed but it was clearly obvious how badly she was fighting to stay awake. There was a part of her that was a little nervous to see any of her siblings again, and another part of her that was excited to be reunited. So much had changed since she had last been in The Hallows, more than she would even know. But she was worried about what her siblings, and even her mother would think of her. And she was already considering what her transition back into a normal life would carry.
