'This doesn't seem right... Living as mortal has changed me... I don't feel the same way as I felt back then about Jack...'
I kept thinking to myself staring at Jack who was sleeping peacefully like a baby.
'God help me.... Help me think... Maybe we just need a break....'
The cold breeze moved my hammock as the nature was rocking me to sleep. I swallowed all my thoughts and hugged myself to sleep.

I yawned as the warm sun rays hit my face. I shuffle in my place noticing that no one was awake quite yet. I gaped into the clear orange sky, the black fumes from days ago were all disappeared by now. The tranquillity of the dawn soothed me into a dream like state as I still wondered of how my life changed drastically in such a short period of time. It was still not clear in my head of what am I going to do about Jack I don't wanna hurt him. I frown subconsciously.
"Lia sleep a bit longer it's gonna be a long day today" Conall winked at me going back to sleep. Damn I didn't even notice him being awake I blush and close my eyes in attempt to go back to sleep.

Penelope woke up to find her three favourites, Ted, Crusty and Olive. The three hippogriffs have been kept at halt on the beach. Along with them were Isabelle and Conall.
She rushed towards the creatures with happiness displayed on her face.
"Oh, my poor babies, are you tired from guarding the palace for two whole days" She loved pampering the hippogriffs. She motioned towards them as the three of knelt down as an act of affection. She took hold of their faces and showered them with love, pats and hugs.
They screeched in glee and snuggled against Penelope's lean body.
"Well if you guys are done, may we go and wake others up?" Conall chuckled from behind. The three woke everyone up and soon everybody were full and well enough to face a long day ahead of them.
"Listen up peeps! We are now at the end of this beautiful picnic or whatever this was! Now, it is time to face those cowards who have been attacking us from behind!" Isabelle started.
"Chill there hun, you are going to scare them" Conall commented and quickly looked away from the killing stare by Isabelle and Penelope.
"First, we are going to go back to the castle. Clean it up, find our resources and practice the lessons you learned almost 30 years ago. When born again as a mortal, you guys might have changed… But the art remains! We are going to train you all again!" She continued.
Lia felt a pang in her heart hearing what Isabelle said. It was true, she did change a lot and so did her feelings and personality.
Everybody mounted on the three hippogriffs and Lila went into the water keeping an eye on the others.
"Where is twinkie the
"Here she comes" Isabelle smiled as a marvellous pegacorn spread her wings in the sky, playing and flying around Isabelle before landing on the warm beach sand. She neighed and bowed before Isabelle. "You want pats eh?" She chuckled and patted her.
The group took off flying closer to the castle. The once shiny and attractive monument now turned shabby and sooty.
"eh- urm Isabelle how do you plan on cleaning all this up?" Jack questioned while still in air. Isabelle waited till they landed to answer him.
"We are a total of nine people and if include Ted, Crusty, Olive and twinkie the cleaning should only take about three to four hours of work. What do say guys!? Ready?"
Everyone groaned in response.
