It's been hours since their fight, and Zoe is stuck in her room while the rest of the Council sort of what they're going to do about Ciri's actions. Cordelia is pissed off at her actions, and so is Queenie, after all, her and Zoe are basically sisters. Zoe had locked herself in her room and didn't want to speak to anyone, not even Kyle, who was stuck wondering what to do in the mean time, so he decides to attend the Council meeting with Cordelia and Queenie. He's now sitting down awkwardly, not sure what to do about the opinions the two members have, and how this is going to play out. And by the stress going around the council members, things weren't going so well.

"We all know why we're hear, we're here because of the actions that took place a few hours ago; Ciri and Zoe's conflict. A conflict that nearly resulted in the death of our fellow council member Zoe. So guys," Cordelia says, staring around the two others in the room. "What are you're opinions on this?"
Kyle was going to speak, but Queenie beat him to it.
"She has endangered Zoe, she attempted to kill her! And if wasn't for Kyle and his, somewhat, human abilities, she would be dead, and we would have had to burn another fellow witch. My opinion is that if she wants to remain here, she has to work for it. And if she doesn't like those fucken' terms, excuse my language, but she needs to fucken' go!"
Kyle remained silent while Queenie ranted, he could tell that she was pissed off, and he was worse, but he didn't want to show that anger. If it was to come out, there would be extreme consequences for both him and Ciri alike. He knew the reasons why, and he believed they didn't have to know.
"Kyle? What about you?" Cordelia asks.

There it was, the question he didn't want to answer. But this was Cordelia, this was his and his girlfriend's supreme, one of the few ladies that could dig their ways into his head, without having to use magic. She's been so kind to him, more kind than anyone has ever been, anyone except Zoe. So she could easily tell if something was wrong, one slip of the tongue and she knew, that's all it took. So he had to answer honestly, or he'd have to answer the question a second time, even a third if he didn't answer properly.
"I was terrified, terrified to lose Zoe. And after the things that Ciri said; how she wants to be me, even if that means ruining my relationship. It hurt more than anything. As soon as I saw that axe fly towards her, I knew I had to act straight away, if I was too slow, she would have been dead, then two people would have died. And I'm saying this right now, you wouldn't have needed to burn her. I, personally think, you should give her a chance to work her evil deeds off, but it's up to you Cordelia."
That's the only way he could say it, the only way he didn't have to describe how he would have killed Ciri, but it would be nightmarish, even for Kyle. Even though they could easily just revive her, that wasn't the point, Zoe was Kyle's and Kyle was Zoe's, and that's how it was going to be.

He noticed how silent the room had become, straight after his little point of view, and he hated it. He felt like he was being judged, like his opinion didn't matter, but that wasn't why they asked the question. They asked him that question because he saved Zoe, because he had done something that any normal human, he managed to do what most would call impossible, and that had caught his Supreme's attention. But he couldn't last much longer in the room, he had to get to Zoe.
"May I be excused from this meeting? I would like to see Zoe."
"Yes, no problem Kyle. I will see you whenever I see you, and we will let you know what our decision is," Queenie says, staring at her Supreme while doing so.
Kyle just simply nods and finds himself out of the room.

"Finally, some fresh air," he says to himself. Kyle never did like awkward moments, and he'd never experienced a meeting like that. Not even his meetings with his frat brothers were as serious as that, which was a topic that never ever crossed his mind. He didn't miss them, not even what they were like before they raped Madison, what they was something he would never forget. But now he had something his mind could concentrate on; he could concentrate on finding out if Zoe's okay, and if not, what he can do about it. It was the one thing that kept him calm, and the one thing that stopped him from losing it in the moment.

He finally reaches his bedroom door and there's nothing to hear in there. Complete silence is all that existed in that room, and it made Kyle nervous, nervous enough to think about breaking down that door.
"Zoe? Are you in there? Talk to me."
He touches the door and it swings open, like it's been open the entire time, but it hasn't and he knows that. He enters the room and see's Zoe sitting their bed, her head looking down at her crossed legs. The way she was sitting, all quiet and alone, makes Kyle feel upset about the whole situation, and he knew the only way to know what's wrong, is to ask about it.
"Zoe, are you okay?"
"Yeah," she pauses, looking up at him with tear-swelled eyes. "I'm fine."

Kyle heads towards Zoe and sits beside her on the bed, grasping her hand softly. He knew how to get into her head, but that's not what he's trying to do, instead, he's trying to get her to answer him honesty.
"Beautiful? Please tell what's wrong."
Zoe stares at the chocolate eyes of her true-love but doesn't manage to hold in her tears, as they spill out of her eyes, causing her to weep.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to think the way I did, I didn't mean to!"
"What are you talking about, Zoe? What did you think?" He asks her as she continues to cry.
"I thought you were cheating on me. I know you wouldn't do that, but I, I-"
"Hey, hey! It's okay, I swear it. I wouldn't ever do that! I wouldn't do that to you, I love you. I nearly had a heart attack when they axe flew at you, I couldn't have lived with myself if you died, I don't know what I would've done."
Kyle takes Zoe into his arms, cuddling up to the warmness of her body. He shushes her, trying hard to calm her down, and it was working.
"I promise I'd never do that to you, I'd die for you, I swear it. I love you Zoe Benson, I would do anything for you."
"I love you too Kyle Spencer, I'm sorry I did that to you, I'd die for you too. But none of us are dying, if we do, we'll go together."
"Amen to that," he says, kissing her forehead lovingly.

Cordelia sits in her office, holding her hair in stress and boredom. Her decision was hard, but she managed to allow herself to forgive Ciri, so she could another chance. Probably one of the hardest decisions she'd done in a long time, ever since she decided to get rid of her Fiance. Now she sits alone, enjoying the silence while it lasts, she knows it won't, there's always drama with the girls in the house. She's having a drink for the first time since her mother died, it was a long day for her, and the rest of the academy. She even wanted a smoke, which was unlike her, she hated smoking, ever since her mother started she'd hated it, so it was weird for her to want one. The silence is well, until her phone begins to vibrate.

"Oh, shit. What now?!"
She looks at her phone, her anger quickly turning to more stress.
"Shit! Not again, not again!"
She looks at the text she was just sent, and it was happening again, another threat, another worry, another battle to fight. Have they not lost enough already? Have they not stressed enough? This text is different, more primitive and simple, like whoever sent it had a secret meaning to it, a meaning they weren't going to ignore. And so it is, the threatening words that consisted of the words:

Hello there :)
I'm glad to see the Academy is doing well!
It's been a long time.. I guess it's time I make a grand appearance
Day's have been misty lately, especially where I've been
I'm coming for you all
Especially you Cordelia, you stupid failure of a Supreme
I'm coming for all of you! :)

Just another day in paradise.
