Shad realized what was going on because this happened whenever the crystal heart was close to being stolen. In this case, the power was being absorbed.
When Shad gotten there, he saw that Aria had collapsed to the ground.
He picked her up and carried her to her and Marco's house.
Shad carried her upstairs, tucked her in, and went downstairs to talk to Marco.
"Marco.. I have told you about Aria having the crystal heart right?" Shad asked.
"Yes, you have, when you said that your half brother was on Jamie's side," replied Marco.
Aria fell asleep for the next few hours, and woke up to feeling as if her stomach were a bottomless pit of hunger.
Marco had made her a steak with baked potatoes, and he gave it to her in bed.
For the next few days, she had grown weaker and weaker. She could barely move because she was so weak but Marco stayed by her side, and usually held her in his arms for hours. He always kissed her goodnight.
But one day, without warning..
Aria was gone.
