A/N I know Gothel said the LAST of the magic, but can we say that it's not?I need it to be that way for you all! -Liz

I gulp, but don't dare move more.

"Nathan?" I can barely whisper his name. "How...how did you..." Nathan smirks.

"Struck a deal with your mother here." Nathan nods to Gothel, but his knife never retracts.

"What...what deal?" Nathan brings back the knife-but only slightly.

"Immortality comes with a price." Nathan says with a glint in his eyes.I gasp.

"So, when you came to court me-"

"That's right.I played the part quite well, didn't I?" He says smugly.I scowl.

"You're a monster, Nathan."

Suddenly, I hear the sounds of boots hitting the floor and a sword leaving it's holder. Suddenly, Nathan's at the tip of a knife.

"Release her!"

I know it's short. I have an excuse! Working on this ASAP.
