The world is racing and I cant keep up. My ears are ringing and my vision is going at a different beat and I. Dont. Know. What. To. Focus. On.

And I feel someone grab my arm. I feel like Im falling, but somewhere back in my mind I know where I am. Im sitting on that wrinkled beige couch in Vivi's family room and for some reason I think of when we were watching TV. And a knock came. And the carpet was dyed red and my vision was clouded but I couldn't cry because I had to take care of Taryn.

I shove the memory down like I have over the years. I let my brain click the puzzle together as I have been in order to survive Faerie Land

"Jude?" I realize Vivi wasnt just holding me to comfort me. But to support herself too because her eyes have gone gray and her voice is tinged with fear.

"Which daughter?"

I look down at my finger and rub the empty stump.

"We both know its not me. Not after I did all that- all this to Madoc." The game pieces click in my head. An opening, tiny but there, is hidden. Madoc has offered me a way to slip back into this game of Fae.

"There is a chance Madoc would offer your hand in marriage, but it would be unwise. Not with your uncontrollable personality. The only other person Madoc could bend to his will-"

"Oh god," Vivi whispers and her hand slips to her mouth. "He couldn't- Taryns already married." The Bomb goes on.

"The only thing Madoc can gamble to get a tighter grip on Cardan, is if he's married to his heir. In Fae, its possible to be wed to more than one person as long as the first couple gives their blessing to the marriage."

I hear Vivi suck in a wobble breath. A smile seeps through my teeth and announce the obvious.

"He knows controlling Vivi is impossible. Taryns the only option he has left."
