The sites and smells were so different from the forest . This many people never gathered there and the smells were all so different, not the nuances he was use to . Yet he was still drawn here . The scent he was following was woven throughout the room . He saw her, the object of his curiosity and his heart beat quickened . A stinging pain wracked his body and he stumbled outside, putting his hands on a tree, stabilizing himself .

"V?" A soft voice asked and he turned around to see a familiar face . She was young and beautiful but he hadn't seen her in so many years, it took a moment to drag her name through the fog .

"Mally . " He said finally as the little girl from memory transformed into this woman before him . She was pretty and he knew how he knew her, but it was blurred . Those memories seemed to belong to someone else entirely . However, they were a tool to be used as he wished .

"Your here… you shouldn't be . You plan to attack Kyera here too?" Mally growled at him, but it was weak . There was an emotion in her eyes and he knew it as a weakness . She was desperate and disappointed but she didn't want to belive whatever truth she had heard . He had seen it before in so many faces .

"No, of course not . You knew me better than that, Mally . " He purred as though she had hurt his feelings . "Mally, I came to apologize but I can't handle the smells . " He sighed, taking a deep breath of the fresher garden scent . It was so tame compared to the forest of his birth . Mally was fighting with herself and he could see that in her eyes . It was working .

"I knew it . " Her words like music to his ears . To his surprise and relief the moment she hugged him, his arms wrapped around her by instinct . It completed her image of him with very little effort . "I knew there had to be a misunderstanding . We were family . You would never hurt Kyera intentionally . " Her triumphant tone was beautiful .

He smiled subtly . "She was never a target

We wanted her freedom, so she could come home . " His words reached Mally's heart and she had to wipe the tears in her eyes . Why not? He reached out and wiped the tears from her eyes as gently as he could .

"I missed you . G.o.ds it's good to see you again . You look amazing in novel cloths . I always imagined you being here when I was first taken . I knew you wouldn't blame Kyera for being stolen, just like you never blamed me . " Mally smiled as she looked his stolen garments over . He was suddenly glad he hadn't gotten any blood on them . Then again, she wanted so desperately to believe in him, it wouldn't have mattered if he had . Her mind would have a.s.sumed it was dirt on this black cloth .

"Of course not, Mally . Can you do me a favor? I really need to see Clovis, Kyera's mate . I can't apologize to Kyera myself, but I need to talk to him . " Verone purred gently and Mally frowned slightly . He sighed  seeing this was going to be a slight sticking point . "Please Mally? You knew me…" he purred again persuasively, pouring all his charm into these words . It almost didn't seem to work, but he could see slight faltering in the way she bit her lip .

"Alright . Wait here, in the gardens . Talis and Kan are here . If they catch your scent every guard here will be out for blood . " Mally replied offering a determined smile .
