As he walked toward the kitchen, Ren had to ask himself, was this a step towards healing? She was up, moving around, not raging or wailing.
But somehow… somehow this coldness felt worse…

She was better. He could see that. But what worried him was feeling the wall she’d slammed up between them. He knew that wall well, he’d spent years chipping away at it.
“You need to eat. Let me make you something.”
She nodded, holding herself tightly.

Without another word, they moved around the apartment, gathering and putting all of them into the bathtub with the others.
When done, Ren moved to her.
She took a step back.
Worried he’d spook her, he took a step back as well.

“I heard a noise, wanted to see if you were okay.”
“Tossed the bedroom dampeners into the tub.”
“Okay. Do you want me to help you take down the rest?”
“Yeah.”

She went around the room picking up every dampener before tossing them into her tub. She’d destroy them later, after she collected the rest from the house.
She went downstairs and saw Ren moving toward her.
He stopped, and they stared at one another for a long moment.

Her mom left yesterday, the demands of life pulling her away.
Good. One less person to deal with.
The power of the dampeners had her frowning. Her head was clearer today, more than usual, and feeling the oppression of her magic was an itchy agitation beneath the skin.

She emerged from the bathroom and looked around the room. Empty. Quiet. Alone.
Her familiars were not allowed out these days, she couldn’t handle them. And Ren was doing his best to give her space, while never leaving her alone.

Elsie woke up, looked over to see darkness outside, and closed her eyes tightly as the pain in her chest squeezed harder. She hated being awake. Hated consciousness, but her body demanded she get up.

Poppy dealt with a similar problem. Her world was international problems, and considering she was rarely home for any length of time, the murder of her friend slowly slid down the list of priorities. Not that she cared any less, but life has a way of taking over.

Crispin was glad to leave Elsie’s side. The immense pain she felt was overwhelming for him. He didn’t know how to handle it.
His plan was to solve this, but the council interfered. Mundane problems were forbidden. He was given an ultimatum, and in the end, abandoned the quest.

He was surprised to see Kira around during this time. The woman was there the second they returned to the city, and was now living at Elsie’s. For once, the famous ambassador did not complain about the many magical artifacts placed in the home, she knew they were there to help subdue magic.

But as the days and weeks passed, Crispen began to wonder if the woman he knew would ever surface again.
She was inconsolable. And her magic was in such a state of chaos that the council ordered her put in a magical lockdown, for the safety of everyone.

“I want everything you got from the cops.” Poppy.
“Same, Elsie will want it when she…” She what? Recovers? Will she recover?
“Yeah. She’ll get it together. And Watcher help the fucker who did this when she does.”

“Not sure Elsie will recover from this.”
He agreed, but said nothing.
“Not sure if any of us will.”
“Did you get in touch with the fiancé?” Crispin couldn’t remember the guy's name.
“Yeah. He’s on his way.”
They watched the silent ambulance drive away.

Poppy came up beside him. She did the same kind of work he and Elsie did, but for the mundanes.
Her eyes were red from crying, but she was too much of a professional to show any other outward sign of pain and distress.

Fuck. He stood to the side, watching the young girl’s body being taken away. He knew what she meant to Elsie, knew what she meant to all of them. He’d spent a lot of time with Harper during their high school days, and his own heart was aching.

He also knew, that if the girls had known murders were taking place in Crestnut Ridge, they would not have come. As wild as Elsie appeared on the outside, he knew she was always cautious and checked things out before traveling. Their training ingrained that behavior in them.

This was the third assault and murder this year. They were trying to keep it quiet, keep the panic down. But as news vehicles pulled up, Crispen knew that was now an impossibility.

With Elsie safe in Ren’s care, Crispen gritted his teeth and got to work. He may not be a mundane cop, but in the supernatural world, this was not uncommon work for him.
The police were resistant at first, which he had no time for. A quick spell later, and they were spilling everything.

The cops could do nothing with her being in this uncontrollable state. She wasn’t letting anyone near the body, trying to protect what no longer needed protection.

The guys arrived quickly, and Ren was rushing toward her flame-coated body without a single drop of fear.
She wept. She beat his chest. And when it got to be too much, Crispin stepped forward.
Hand on the back of her head, he sent her under.

Poppy called Crispin to get Ren here immediately. Elsie was losing her mind. Screaming one moment, on her knees sobbing another, and then, the scariest, was when her entire body would light up with flames.
