They traveled over forty five minutes and saw Tais family all waiting beside the wagons and animals, a woman who looked to be twenty three years old with blonde hair and blue eyes was standing there with year stained cheeks watching the wagon approach them.
Emilia couldn't believe this beautiful woman was Tai's mother when she looked young enough to be her sister, Carra runs over to the back of the wagon along with her brothers looking Tai over and Emilia heard them all crying.
Sia stood beside Emia helping her down, she noticed that Emilia left the wounds she obtained when locked inside the closet and from the beating she took trying to fight back when they were drugged.
" I feel like it's my fault and maybe she'd be better off without me around " Emia said when Carra walked over with a scowl on her face.
" none of this is your fault and she'd die without you by her side, we have our wagons packed as well and we need to head out in the next half hour go wash up then get dressed for the road " Carra said as Tais uncle runs over with two buckets of water putting them in the back of the wagon then helping Carra up inside closing the curtains on the back.
Carra took a deep breath as she started undressing Tai, tears ran down her face seeing all of the bruises, cuts, scrapes and bite marks covering all of her body.
Carra carefully washes Tais body then seeing the damage they have done to her private part and to the anal, Carra took a deep shaky breath laying her hands above Tais body as a white light came from her hands then engulfed Tais body completely healing her body like it was before.
Tai was a virgin again since Carras magic is so strong, when Tai still didn't wake up making Carra furrow her brows gently shaking her.
" Tai honey wake up ! your afar now baby open your eyes" Carra said placing her hand over Tais head not registering Tai at all, Sia climbs in the back with clothes for Tai and helps Carra dress her.
Tais uncle Wei knocked on the side of the wagon and Carra opened the curtains with a serious look on her face making Wei quickly climb inside the wagon laying his hand over Tais head and he frowned while his face went pale.
Wei removed his hand from her head like he was burnt and when Carra looked at his hand she saw blisters on Wei's hand, she grabbed his hand healing the burn.
" what's going on with her...she can't be in her awakening yet and she's strong enough to put up with what those men have done to her. " Carra said as Wei takes both his palms down his face and looks at Carra with a concerned look.
" her inner demon has taken over when her mind was weak, all we can do is wait and maybe have Emilia with her and I know she can pull through this. I wish that she didn't have to go through this or what that man put her through and when we find everyone of those men they will pay " Wei said hopping out of the wagon seeing Emilia walking over, Wei smiled then pulled her into a tight hug.
" she'll be alright and none of this is your fault, I read your father's mind yesterday when he came and he is obsessed with Tai....now she'll be asleep for a while but she will wake up, just take care of her and talk to her " Wei said taking Love by the reigns hopping up in the saddle while all the others loaded in the wagons and rounding the extra horses and cows together as they start their journey to the next town to sell some of the cows along with a few horses keeping the best ones for the people he hired to help along the journey to the dark twisted forest and making a journey to a special waterfall and pond that has magical properties.
The next town over they sold some of the farm animals for a great price along with some of the things that they didn't need from Emilia's father's things making good money.
Carra bought herbs along with gems that had healing properties smiling with ones to strengthen barriers and some that will explode when needed to use against beasts or creatures they may come across.
Carra and her family which Wei is the only one who is actually related to her being her half brother while the others have been saved by her and her mates when being hunted by humans so they need to use things like wards, spells, gems and hexes to protect themselves in front of people to keep their identities secret even from Emilia until the time is right for her to know.
Tai and Emilia fell in love when they were eight years old when Tai brought Emilia a flower and kissed her on the cheek nervously playing with her fingers.
" will you be my mate" Tai said as Emilia smiles nodding her head hugging her tightly, she looked over at a moon rock that was near the small stream and Emilia smiles running over picking up the white stone that shines like the stars in the night sky.
" we're human so we can't be mates but I'll be your girlfriend" Emilia said pecking Tais cheek, Carra smiles watching the two girls together and when she heard Tai say be her mate Carra's stomach flipped with nerves until Emilia corrected her without thinking anything about it.
Carra watched the two grow up together and still remained girlfriends over the years even when they both hit puberty where they were making out all the time, Carra knew the two were in love with each other. The one thing that bothered Carra was when Tai turns eighteen on the three blood moons becoming what she is meant to be what will happen if the two aren't mates or Emilia wouldn't want anything to do with what Tai is.
Emia was staring down at Tai who looked lame as snow even her lips looked blue and was cold to the touch, she strips off her gear leaving a long shirt on sliding under the blanket snuggling up with Tai falling asleep.
Carra who was with Sia up front opened the curtain looking back at the two with a sad smile on her face , Emilia thinks they are all mages like she is and Carra is scared of Emilia rejecting Tai.
They met with the large team of mercenaries they hired a long with more of their people heading on a trail that's sixty Mike's away from the twisted forest, they'll continue for eight more hours until it's becoming dark then set up camp.
We've traveled for six days entering the twisted forest, I've taken care of Tai with Carra everyday and every night and any time I sleep I crawl beside Tai to sleep while holding her tight snuggling up to her.
Emilia brought up her worries about feeding Tai, even though Carra knows that Tai could survive along time to without food or water longer than humans but she couldn't let Emilia know anything yet.
Emilia laid in the wagon beside Tai on a bed that every one helped build inside the wagon since it's night time and they set up camp for the night.
