CHAPTER 101

Audrey's eyes widened…

Karl seemed to understand. "Audrey it's you. It makes sense! You are the only girl born from the Dalio's to have full powers. Your aunts didn't have full powers."

I felt as though the room was spinning…one thing I had remembered my grandparents and my father always used to tell me I was the first girl with full powers. When I was a child my father wouldn't let me outside, he was always strict…

"Never show what you are…never." He always said.

And I was not alone.
We were not alone.

My daughter and I were not the last of our kind, there was another…somewhere in this world there was another being like us.

Where were they?

Clang.

"Audrina." Jacques appeared out of thin air. "You need to leave…someone is suspicious…someone is moving outside of the palace."

"Jacques, do you know where the other half of this parchment is?" Sven asked.

"No." He replied, rolling his eyes. He really was worried that they were going to get caught.

"Do you know what the rest of it says?" Audrey asked urgently.

"Yes." He replied.

"Will you tell us?"

"I took that secret to the grave." Jacques replied. "You need to leave."

Clang.

"Now." He finished.

They took the ripped parchment, and Afanasi dissapparated to his flat with the three.

Karl laid it on the table.

"It makes perfect sense." said Sven. "They attacked your entire family, they all tried to protect you…"

Audrey shook for a moment.

This realization sent me back, searching through my memories, reanalyzing everything that had ever happened in my life. Why my parents were so adamant about me not being seen, why my father had taken extra care to not be seen in public with me. Why my grandfather wanted to wait until the very possible end for me to know, it wasn't a weight to be thrusted on my shoulders so early.

The thought that my family had died for this made my heart heavy. It was not worth it, I was not worth it.

Audrey had wandered through Afanasi's flat to the balcony that faced the city. Sven had mentioned that there were a few protective enchantments around the balcony so that no one would be seen.

"What time is it?" Audrey asked him.

"Almost 3:30, why?" He asked.

"I need to head back to England soon." Audrey replied, looking out at the snowy square. "I don't want Sirius to wake and think I've been kidnapped."

It was the truth, after all...I wasn't allowed to leave my home without the presence of a guard.

"Audrey…are you sure?" Karl asked, approaching her.

"Am I sure of what?" She replied, looking at him. Her eyes flickered between blue and white, she mentally cursed herself for her lack of control.

"That you want to return?" Karl asked quietly. "I mean…"

Karl didn't know how to finish his thought, he wanted to say 'You don't seem very happy there.' But he did not want to insinuate that her marriage was deteriorating. Karl saw something in her eyes while they wandered the halls of St. Aleksander's. He knew that Sirius was no longer making her happy.

"Karl, I have to return." Audrey replied, her voice breaking slightly as she choked back some tears. "My daughter…I need to take care of her."

"You could bring her here, Audrey." He replied, wiping a stray tear. "We would protect her…"

She gave a small laugh.

Perhaps there was a parallel universe where my family were still alive and I stayed with Karl Gregorovitch. Spending those few hours with Karl had made my heart tear into pieces. All of these thoughts flooded my head…thoughts of Karl's kindness, Sirius' drunken demeanor…our arguments…had I made the right choice six years ago?

"As much as I would love that." Audrey replied, wiping her own tears. "I can't, Karl. I took v-"

His lips crashed onto hers. She didn't fight it, she kissed him right back.

Oh, you could not imagine the guilt I felt.

Audrey finally pulled away, breathing heavily.

"Karl…I…" She didn't know what to say.

Karl didn't have a smug look on his face, which was what Audrey was expecting. That was how long she had been with Sirius, she was used to his mannerisms and his cocky behavior. If this had been the other way around, and Audrey had kissed Sirius while dating Karl, Sirius would have had a smug look on his face.

"….I…I need to go…" Audrey stammered, backing away from him. "Give Sven and Af my love…I really…it's late…I…"

She disapparated.
