They had won. All the Followers were dissolving into shadow and fleeing. All but one. The Regulator Jared. He stood and looked over to where Jennifer had fallen. He ran over to her, afraid she might be dead. She was laying on her face. He turned her around and saw a huge gash on her head.
The other Daughters had come over by now, seeing if she was alright. They saw him lift her up, become human, and dissolve into shadow with her.
"He's taking her to the hospital," said Serena.
"Why? Just because she's the Atrox's daughter?" asked Catty.
"No. It's because he really does love her."
"We have to follow him. Come on," said Vanessa. Everyone held onto her and she made them all invisible. She hoped Serena could read her mind to tell her which hospital. The closest one, she heard. They flew there and when they entered the waiting room, Jared was sitting. Jennifer was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is she?" demanded Jimena.
"They took her to intensive care. She had a serious injury. They have to do surgery."
All six of them decided to wait for the doctor together. As much as they hated the Atrox, Followers and Regulators, they could see how much he loved her, and even pitied him a little.
A few hours later, the doctor came out with a grim look. "I'm sorry. While we were busy repairing her head, she was bleeding in her stomach. It became too much for her body and it shut down. Before it did, however, she had a moment of consciousness and told me to tell you this was for the better. She also wanted me to say thank you to Serena and tell Jared she loved him." He walked away with no more to say to them.
Jared walked outside, in tears at the loss of his love. The Daughters followed him. He turned to them and said, "I will help you. This war must end soon and I know now that the Atrox is wrong to destroy this world and all the love on it. Please allow me to help. For her."
The five just looked at each other. Serena heard them all thinking that this was the right thing to do, stepped forward and said, "It would be wonderful if you joined us."
"Thank you. Here, lift your necklace and set it on my arm." She looked confused, heard his thoughts, and fulfilled his request. He went through pain, but when it was over, he showed his arm to them and said, "This brand is to show that I work for you now. I will be sure no one sees it."
"Thank you," said Tianna. They watched as he dissolved and disappeared into the night. After that, he was discovered by the Followers, brought before the Atrox and destroyed.
In the hospital room, Jennifer's spirit lifted and split in half, light and darkness. The light floated up to the moon to join Selene. The dark floated into Nefandus and joined the Atrox. In a way, she had fulfilled her destiny.
