"Selles!" A familiar voice calls out before he rolls over on the stone floor. A woman rushes to his side. The woman looked up at me, and my jaw almost dropped. Alina! She's alive!

"Hey, Gaia, you might want to see this," I call out behind me, and I hear Gaia step into the room. It only took her a few moments to see the same thing that I saw. Gaia's footsteps slowed,

"Mama?" she whispered. Aunty Alina looked up from Selles body and stood to her feet slowly.

"Gaia?" Alina murmured. Gaia rushed past me and embraced her mother. Gaia held her mother tight as Alina rested her head against her shoulder. A few tears escaped her eyes as she pulled away,

"I've missed you so much, mama,"

"I've missed you too my love. You're a little bigger than I thought," Alina and Gaia chuckle before hugging each other once more.

"Jace is everything alright?" Another familiar voice calls out as they enter the room. I noticed her blonde hair and royal appearance from anywhere. She scanned the room before her eyes landed on me,

"Olivia?"

"Mama!" I smile as I rush across the room and wrap my arms around her. It felt so good to just hold her. She held me tight with her small arms wrapped around my waist.

"Drax get in here!" I call out, and he rushes in. He takes in the scene and then our parents and runs over to hug our mother. Mama is weeping with joy as she holds the two of us.

"We're sorry we didn't tell you guys where we were going."

"We're sorry we were gone so long."

"Shh, I'm just happy to have you both here." she mummers as her grip never wavered. I looked over to see Jace hugging Gaia and Gaia looking around uncomfortable. Who knows how long its been since he actually hugged her. A towering figure blocked my view, and I looked up to see my father wrapping his arms around the three of us. For the first time, I saw tears in his eyes as he smiled contently.

"Let's go home," Alina replies, and we all agree. We all walked out of that stone cellar and head through the woods. Before the cellar went out of sight, I gave a slight nod and watched the three elderly witches enter the cottage. All was well, I smiled to myself.

 All was well, I smiled to myself

I stood in my bedroom. I haven't been in here in so long that it almost feels foreign to me. I don't remember how long I was asleep, but it feels like its been months. My Gaia does not look fifteen to me. I touched my golden brush fondly and walked past my vanity table.

"So you remember." Jace states. I turn around and find him standing near the doorway observing me. I step closer to him,

"Yes, I do. Why would you ever take my memories from me?" I question and scan his face to make sure he isn't lying to me. However, his face remains empty not a single emotion displayed on it. It made me wonder if he had even missed me at all. Jace did not embrace me when he first saw me, he was so hellbent on killing Selles that the only thing he had to say to me was step aside. Jace just looked at me, the same way he did at the cellar.
