Its been 2 weeks since Mina finally separated Jared and Teague. She hasn't been receiving any new stories, but she has a theory why. When she separated Jared from Teague they were both unconscious, weakened significantly. She used her seam ripper and brought back Jared, not giving a flying hoot about Teague, knowing his servants will tend to him. She rushed Jared to Mei hoping she could help, all she could do was stabilize him. After two weeks, he is still unconscious. Recently, Mina has been doing a lot of reflective thinking. If Jared is still unconscious, Teague is too right? Thinking about that made her heart constrict. Jared would never be in this situation if it wasn't for her, she royally screwed things up... Big time. "Just focus on the positives," Mina thought to herself, trying to calm down her heart that was plagued with guilt. "I may have joined them, but I did separate them, right? That's gotta be something."
Everyday, Mina has been visiting Jared, who lied down in an unresponsive state. The only thing that gave her hope was the slow pulse of his heart monitor. She squeezed his hand, how she longed to see that mischievous smile play on his lips and his stormy gray eyes. She put her head in hands and weeped bitterly about everything. The past replayed in her head constantly. When he was an ogre and broke down the door, when he kissed her, when he professed his love her... Wait. Scratch that, when he was about to profess his love to her, but that butthead Teague ruined it by stabbing him. Her hand that wasn't holding Jared's clenched tightly and turned white. She was so lost in reminiscing she didn't hear when the door opened. "Mina," Constance said tenderly. Mina looked at her, not uttering a word, despair and sorrow written all over her face. Constance pulled up a chair to sit next to her. "Mina, you've been here everyday for the past two weeks. That can't be healthy," Mina looked up in her eyes that was filled with pity. "No, and I'm perfectly fine with coming," she snapped, a bit too harsh than what she intended. Constance's eyes widen in surprise at Mina's angst. Mina sighed, "Will he be alright?" Constance didn't reply right away, she was choosing her words carefully "Im sure he will," Even though she tried to hide it, you couldn't mistake the doubt in her voice.
Mina has had enough of this "YOU GUYS ARE FAE! CANT YOU JUST USE DO A BIT OF BIPPITY BOPPITY BOO MAGIC AND HEAL HIM?!" she was standing up, she didn't even realize when she changed positions. The tears that were threatening spilled and rolled down her cheeks in large drops. Constance shook her head slowly, "Believe me we tried, we brought in some sprites, which are known widely for their healing abilities but they couldn't do anything. We've never had anything like this before. The best thing to do is to sit back, be patient and see what happens.'' Mina nodded her head solemnly, "are you sure you've done everything?" Constance said tenderly, "At this present moment, we can't rely on magic right now. Let's hope your technology will work. The others and I just agreed to send him to the new hospital, the one made of glass." Mina knew that hospital, why last year, she herself was in that hospital when Jared decided to dump her in the woods. She looked over at Jared longingly, "Well if that really is the only option..." "Get some rest Mina, and you can see him in the hospital tomorrow,'' Constance said slowly, like she was talking to an unruly child. Given her recent actions, she doesn't blame her.
"Bye Jared, see you tomorrow," Mina whispered.
