[ It’s strange how the twist of events of a simple evening walk could change much of everything. In an instant, that was Luceti’s way of things, changing things in an instant. And Helios never even saw it coming. There were still parts of that night and parts of his soul that he never truly understood. But there were always ways of finding out. They say hands on experience is one of the best ways of learning. And this is a lesson he and several others won't soon forget. ]

And killing him again? Does he make a habit of this, Harry?

[Because Molly was starting to wonder if all he'd done was drain you.]

"No. It was when the Malnosso attacked. He died. Still don't know how. Tried to protect him, but... he must have died some time after that."

And I'd be damned if I'd let that happen again. I was going to help him, not let him die.

[Great. It was personal. She knew exactly how Harry got when that happened.]

Just keep talking to me. Tell me how he attacked you.

[He needed to stay conscious.]

What makes you think he was possessed?

"His personality... completely weird. And I kept seeing this... snake in his shadow. When he attacked me."

I managed a weak chuckle.

"Also, my magic seemed to... to hardly touch him. He knocked me off-balance. Then he...

... I don't really know what he did. It was like he was cutting out my power with his attacks."

[That... didn't sound good at all.]

Can you still feel your magic?

[The journal is open as she's walking, and she's walking quickly. But he did just ask her to go pick him up in an area where he'd been attacked, so she wasn't doing it stupidly either. He'd taught her better than that. So she was watching where she was going as she was going, as quickly as possible, and running the information he'd given her through the sieve of what she knew.

He said it happened last night.]

What did it feel like?

[If there was something still on Harry, some kind kind of power leech....]

"It felt like..."

... Damn. The closest things I could think of were the attack by the Nightmare spirit of Leonard Kravos, and the kiss of a White Court vampire. To my knowledge, she hadn't experienced either, though she came damn close to being a snack for the White Court after a skinwalker got to my brother.

"... Like pieces were being taken from me. Slowly. It... didn't hurt physically... but it still hurt. Like hell. I guess it's gone now... I can't feel anything, and I'm... conscious. Sort of."

[Very comforting, Harry.]

If this is "sort-of" conscious, I'd hate to see you go all the way.

[A lame joke, but so it was.]

I'm almost there, Harry.

"Oh, good. Did you bring coffee?"

See? I could pull lame jokes too.

... Mine just came out all slurred and mumbly.

Sorry, it's still brewing.

[Just at this point, she started walking along the artificial ley line. She flicked her gaze from side to side, looking for any sign of trouble.]

I could see her, finally- really, what I saw was a haze of pale shapes with multi-colored streaks on top, but I figured that was just my vision being blurry.

It was just as well. I didn't want to see her face when she saw the shape I was in. My ribs were bruised, my shirt was torn, my neck had nasty bruises where not-Helios had slammed me around, and the entire left side of my jaw felt stiff and slightly swollen where he'd backhanded me.

Luckily, my head wasn't bleeding from hitting the stone spikes. I'd made sure of that.

"... Hey, kiddo, what took you?"

Pale from seeing him like this, Molly exhaled and knelt beside him. "I was trying to get the number of that truck which hit you."

Tears might have been stinging the corners of her eyes, but her voice is steady. "You didn't have to go and get yourself all pretty for me, you know."

She tentatively touched his side where a bruise was forming before pressing down more firmly to see if his ribs were broken.

The sound I made when she pressed on my ribs was a primal and ferocious bellow of manly rage, and in no way a ragged yelp of pain.

... Luckily, it didn't feel broken. Just sore as hell. I probably had the duster to thank for that.

"Well, what can I say... can't leave home without putting on my face."

She hated seeing him like this. There wasn't any witty rejoinder for him, because it reminded her too much of that room, and that closet, and handing him the phone--

You're one hell of a woman--

--"All right, let's get you up. Put your arm around my shoulders."

I strained to sit up, slipping my arm around her, and trying to lean on her as I forced myself to my feet. She might have to help me home, but if she had to actually carry me, I would never hear the end of it.

... Unfortunately, it felt like I'd lost the bones in my legs. Which was weird, since I was pretty sure they still looked like they were in there. They just didn't want to hold me up.

"... ow."

Molly froze, doing her best to hold him up, "What is it, Harry?"

I winced, gritted my teeth, and tried to force my legs to cooperate.

"... Nothing. Just... caught me off guard."

Finally, I managed to support a little of my weight. It wasn't much, but it was the best I could manage. And I wasn't going to make her carry me. Period.

"Sorry. Shall we?"

Shouldering his weight was not exactly the easiest thing in the world, but Molly was no shrinking violet. "Sure thing, boss."

She set off walking back in the direction of the town.
