I do not own the OC, Amy, or Kane's outfit both of which are the creations of pinksakura271.

Ciara thought about her friend and confident after what he said to her, and decided to go along with her plans. Silently preparing herself to tell Amy what would most likely either cost her her best friend, her incredibly sensitive hearing, or both. As she walked to go find Mal and Amy, she heard Mal ask Amy a question.

"Where'd you get that sword anyway?"

Ciara could practically hear the smile on Amy's face.

"Ciara forged it for me."

Ciara chose then to make her presence known.

"You're welcome by the way. But, um….Amy, there's something I have to tell you. Preferably in private."

Amy knew it was bad simply from the look in Ciara's eyes, but took a moment to realize that Ciara now looked incredibly human. She was back to her normal height without her wings, her eyes were now the same shade of brown as Evie's. She also no longer had her demonic tattoos showing, but it was the sad and nervous look in Ciara's eyes that let her know it was bad.

"You didn't tell me a lot, did you?"

Amy asked. Ciara lowered her head and nodded.

"Just, hear me out on this one. Okay?"

Amy nodded and Ciara closed her eyes before speaking.

"You know how I always said there were magical attacks that were accessible to me if I made a big enough bodily sacrifice but I'd only used it once without my amulet and never did it again?"

Amy nodded. She didn't have any idea where this conversation was going, but she'd let her friend talk.

"Yeah, we all thought you were going to die."

Ciara chuckled.

"Yeah, good to know you had faith in my abilities. Anyway, I would like to say firstly, yes, I was born with a heart. I just don't have it now. Secondly, there's a very good reason I hate most heroes and villains equally."

Amy could only give another nod.

"Always wondered why you just hated everyone. You usually need a reason."

Ciara sighed.

"I have one. You've already seen that my magic is stronger than Fairy Godmother's and Maleficent's, right? Then answer me this. How was Fairy Godmother able to seal Maleficent and all the other magically inclined villains on the Isle of the Lost without some kind of pure power source?"

Amy shrugged. She was good at casting magic. She sucked at magical theory. It confused the cherry blossoms out of her.

"You know I'm bad at magical theory!"

Ciara sighed.

"She couldn't Amy. She wouldn't have been able to contain my power. Let alone my parents' power. So, she didn't try. These heroes aren't all they're cracked up to be. The only way she could've contained all the villains on the Isle was by using a strong enough pure power form. "

Amy tilted her head and Ciara realized just how badly she needed classes in Magic Theory before speaking.

"Amy, the only power source strong enough to contain myself, my mother, and my father would have been my heart, and there was only one way to truly bring down the barrier around the Isle."

Amy instantly looked like she wanted to cry as she pieced together what her friend was trying to tell her.

"When we had the barrier around the Isle brought down, we didn't ask how they'd done it…..they destroyed your heart…."

Ciara nodded slightly and gave her best friend a hug as she started to cry.

"It wasn't your fault Pinky. You didn't know. You did what you thought was right. Come on now. I know you hate crying in public."

Amy cried on her best friend's shoulder for a little bit before she forced herself to stop.

"And you're fine with knowing exactly what happened to your heart? How do you deal with something like that?"

Ciara smiled.

"I have an amazing best friend who's literally a bright pink pin ball of fun. Especially when you give her sugar."

Amy laughed a little and she slowly got used to knowing why her best friend didn't have a heart. She still felt guilty about it, but she didn't feel like she was going to start crying again if she thought about it.

"Wait, especially when you give me sugar?"

Ciara nodded.

"I'm curious as to what would happen if I managed to get you hyped up on a 20 pound bag of sugar, but that'd probably end in Chad's death."

Amy nodded.

"He already ended up hanging by his underwear from a chandelier. Who put Jane up their though?"

Ciara waved her hand and they watched a replay of the carnage from Mal, Amy, Freddie and Uma's last sugar rush. Surprisingly enough, it was Uma who'd launched Jane up their. Seemingly on accident.

"I guess that explains my second question."

Amy said, in shock of just how violent she could turn given enough sugar.

"Yes little pink one, you are strong enough to throw a limousine. Don't think anyone was inside it though."

Amy turned bright red and Ciara couldn't help herself as she laughed. Not even minding that Amy now knew what was arguably one of her biggest secrets. The only other one being that everyone thought she was born on some creepy day like Halloween or Walpurgis Night itself. Which was very far from true.

It was hard enough to explain that your father was a demon and that being baptized with kill you.

Especially with 'acquaintances' like Claire Frollo, Claude Frollo's daughter.

She didn't need the added confusion that a demon's daughter had been born on New Year's Eve and was very nearly named Eve to celebrate the occasion.

Needless to say, she was usually pretty happy around December. Nothing like potion ingredients and new souls to torture as a birthday present from Dad. _
