00:00When I woke, the curtains in the White Tower infirmary were swaying softly in the wind.
00:05My first instinct was to touch my stomach.
00:08My flat stomach makes it seem as if I've never been pregnant.
00:14I tried to push myself up, but the protective charm beside the treatment bed flared at once
00:20and forced me back down.
00:26Where is my baby?
00:28Ivy, don't move.
00:30A familiar voice came from the fit of the bed.
00:32Theodore Winter stood there, his dark black eagle house robe looking cold under the white light of the infirmary.
00:38He was the youngest trainee healer at St. Rovan Academy of Magic.
00:42He had also once be once been my best friend, but now he held my healing records in his hand
00:47and his voice was so calm, it did not shake at all.
00:52The Phoenix Flame transfer was successful.
00:55Selina's curse has been stabilized for now.
00:57I stared at him.
01:00I asked you where my baby was!
01:04Theodore did not look me in the eye.
01:06The baby didn't survive.
01:11Six months along.
01:16Poor thing.
01:18My whole body went cold.
01:21Six months.
01:24My baby with Leon.
01:28The baby I had once secretly knitted tiny socks for in the white badger house dormitory.
01:33The baby my mother had touched through my stomach and said would surely be gentle.
01:42They had taken him out of my body, pulled out the Phoenix Flame and put it into Selina.
01:50Selina lived.
01:51My baby died.
01:53I opened my mouth, but no sound came out, only tears.
01:59After a long time, I called to that book in my heart.
02:05The Book of Fate.
02:06The air beside the bed glowed faintly, and a black ancient book appeared in silence.
02:17I had found it in a hidden chamber at the academy when I was 16.
02:25Back then, several Silver Serpent House students had locked me in the old tunnel by the Black Lake.
02:37By accident, I had pushed open a dusty stone door.
02:45When my blood fell onto its pages, it wrote down my fate.
02:51It said I would be betrayed by the three most important people in my life.
02:56My love anchor, Leon Valentin.
03:00My family anchor, Carlisle Ashfield.
03:04My friendship anchor, Theodore Winter.
03:10As long as any one of them truly chose me,
03:14I could rewrite the ending where I died.
03:18The Book of Fate.
03:20The Book of Fate.
03:21All three fate anchors remain incomplete.
03:28The Book of Fate.
03:30Fate cannot be rewritten.
03:33The Book of Fate.
03:35To break free, your body must die within 24 hours.
03:40I laughed.
03:42What are you laughing at?
03:43I want to leave.
03:46Theodore thought I was making a scene again.
03:49Ivy Vale.
03:51Selina is your sister.
03:52She was tortured by dark wizards for so many years.
03:57You can't only think about yourself.
03:59I looked at the empty space beneath my palm.
04:03A few hours ago, my baby had still been there.
04:06Now even my grief was called selfish.
04:11After the infirmatory grew quiet,
04:14I saw my wand at the head of the bed.
04:19That hapethorn wand had been with me for seven years.
04:22It was not expensive,
04:23and its core was only ordinary moondeer tail hair.
04:29But it was the entrance gift
04:31my mother had saved for a long time to buy for me.
04:38I reached for it.
04:41As long as I cut open the engagement mark on my wrist,
04:45as long as I made it fail completely,
04:48I'd leave this fate behind.
04:50But the moment my fingers touched the wand,
04:54a disarming charm struck.
04:59My wand flew into Theodore's hand.
05:02He stood in the doorway,
05:05his face frighteningly cold.
05:10Ivy,
05:12what are you trying to do now?
05:19I looked at my empty palm.
05:21My voice was so faint,
05:24I could barely hear it myself.
05:29Can't you tell?
05:32I want to die.
05:36Theodore let out a cold laugh.
05:40Are you using this to make people feel sorry for you?
05:42He walked over and took away my wand,
05:47the silver fork by the bed,
05:49the potion bottles,
05:50and even the letter opener my mother had left me.
05:56You are not dying in my infirmary.
05:59I watched him skillfully add another protective charm beside the bed.
06:09The charm locked around me.
06:11To him,
06:12this was protection.
06:14To me,
06:15it was another cage.
06:20I stared at him,
06:22somewhat lost in thought.
06:24When did we get to this point?
06:29Back then,
06:30we were still young.
06:31Theodore was not the top student of Black Eagle House yet.
06:35He was not the healing genius praised by every professor.
06:42He could even lose control of the most basic magic,
06:46and his classmates called him an idiot and a monster.
06:50They isolated him,
06:53bullied him.
06:55I was the one who secretly brought hot soup from the white badger kitchens
06:59and stayed with him all night in an abandoned greenhouse.
07:04He had been shaking,
07:06his palms covered in cold sweat.
07:10He couldn't even speak.
07:12I opened my hand and let him write in my palm.
07:17Am I going to die?
07:22No.
07:23I'm staying with you.
07:29After he recovered,
07:30the first thing he did
07:32was make me a potion
07:33for the scrape on my knee.
07:37Ivy,
07:38when I become a healer,
07:40you'll be the first person I protect.
07:43Now,
07:43the first person who had put me on a treatment bed
07:46and personally activated the advanced healing charm
07:48was also him.
07:49I lifted my eyes to him.
07:53Theodore.
07:58When you activated that healing charm,
08:00did you hear me begging you?
08:05His eyes flickered.
08:07I said no.
08:09I said the baby would die.
08:12Did you hear me?
08:14Theodore's fingers tightened around my wand.
08:18Selina's curse
08:19had already spread to her heart.
08:21Any later
08:24and she would have died.
08:26So?
08:28Based on the treatment outcome,
08:31it was the smallest possible cost.
08:35The words landed harder than any curse.
08:38My baby and I were not people in his eyes.
08:41We were a line in a record.
08:44I stared at him.
08:46The smallest possible cost.
08:49So, to him,
08:50my baby and I together
08:52were just the smallest cost
08:54written in a healing record.
08:55I laughed until tears spilled out.
08:59Then who pays my cost?
09:03Theodore fell silent.
09:06At that moment,
09:07the book of fate floated beside the bed
09:10and opened by itself.
09:11On the page for the friendship anchor,
09:14Theodore Winter's name
09:16had once been circled in pale gold.
09:18Now the gold was fading.
09:21Little by little.
09:26At last,
09:27only a thin crack remained.
09:30Theodore could not see it.
09:32He only said in a low voice,
09:35Stop making trouble.
09:38Selina wakes up today.
09:40She can't handle being upset.
09:42I slowly closed my eyes.
09:44The friendship anchor had cracked, too.
09:48Theodore turned to leave
09:49with my wand in his hand.
09:52Before he stepped out,
09:53he paused for once and second.
09:57He still said nothing softer.
10:00Selina's name had already taken up
10:01all the mercy he had left.
10:08Friendship anchor.
10:10Unstable.
10:11I did not ask him to stay.
10:14A broken anchor
10:15did not deserve another plea.
10:20The door closed behind him.
10:23And the protective charm
10:25brightened again.
10:27I stared at the place
10:28where my wand had disappeared.
10:30For the first time,
10:32I understood that even my death
10:34had to wait for their permission.
10:37Selina did nothing wrong.
10:38You shouldn't blame her.
10:42They still don't understand me enough.
10:46How could I possibly
10:47stay obediently under their control?
10:50Late that night,
10:52I pulled the needle
10:53from the back of my hand.
10:55The protective charm
10:56in the infirmary
10:57was strong against outsiders,
10:59but around patients,
11:00it was only a soft layer.
11:02I brushed my fingertips
11:03over the charm.
11:05Again and again,
11:07letting it think
11:08I was still lying in bed.
11:10Every step I took
11:11made the pain in my lower belly
11:13remind me that a baby
11:14had once been there.
11:16I went to the astronomy tower first.
11:19That was where my mother
11:20had fallen.
11:23Helena Ashford
11:24was not my birth mother.
11:25She was the lady
11:26of the Ashford family,
11:28Carlisle's mother,
11:29and the only person
11:30who had truly held me
11:31from the day I was adopted.
11:37Ivy,
11:39family is not written
11:40by a bloodline scroll.
11:43You are my daughter
11:45because you are in my arms.
11:48Later,
11:49Selina returned
11:50and everyone said
11:52the real Miss Ashford
11:53was back.
11:59Don't be afraid.
12:01You are a real Ashford girl too.
12:04You will always be my daughter.
12:06The door to the astronomy tower
12:08had been sealed.
12:10Three layers of protective charms
12:12covered it,
12:13clearly to stop me
12:15from coming near.
12:16I slid down
12:17against the cold stone wall
12:19and touched
12:20the memory parchment
12:21I had hidden
12:22in my job
12:22for a long time.
12:25Ivy,
12:26mom loves you.
12:29Live well.
12:31Take care of the baby.
12:33Mom will always love you.
12:35I have no intention
12:37of trying to change
12:38this inevitable fate.
12:39I'm so tired.
12:40I want to go find my mother.
12:44I pressed the parchment
12:46to my chest
12:47in so much pain
12:48I could barely breathe.
12:50The baby is gone, mom.
12:52I did not take care of him.
12:54I did not protect you either.
13:00I remembered that day.
13:02Carlisle had brought
13:03Theodore and Leon
13:04to persuade mother.
13:07They said
13:08Selina's curse
13:09could not wait.
13:11They said
13:12it was only a little
13:13phoenix flame
13:14from the baby.
13:15They said
13:16I was young
13:17and I could have
13:18another baby later.
13:20Mother slacked
13:21Carlisle across the face
13:23on the spot.
13:28That is Ivy's baby too.
13:31Carlisle's eyes
13:32were red
13:32when he said
13:33But Selina
13:35is my real sister!
13:37Mother looked at him
13:38with nothing
13:39but strangeness
13:40and disappointment
13:41in her eyes.
13:45Ivy is your sister too.
13:47No one listened.
13:49No one listened.
13:53When they took me
13:54into the infirmary
13:55Mother was left
13:57outside the
13:58Ophanthronomal Tower.
14:02By the time
14:03I woke again
14:05she had already
14:06fallen from here.
14:15Everyone said
14:15I had driven Mother
14:16to her death
14:17but I knew
14:18I had not.
14:20They had pushed her
14:22toward the edge
14:22of the tower
14:23step by step.
14:27Wind slipped
14:28through the cracks
14:29of the tower.
14:30The parchment
14:31suddenly lit up again.
14:34Don't let them
14:35take your baby.
14:38I covered my mouth
14:40and finally broke
14:41down crying.
14:42But it was too late.
14:45The sealed tower door
14:47stayed silent
14:48before me.
14:51They tried to cover up
14:53their mistakes perfectly.
14:59I'm sorry
15:00my inevitable death
15:01has dragged down
15:02who love me
15:03and those who love me.
15:05I had barely left
15:07the astronomy tower
15:08when a red beam
15:10of light struck me.
15:16strength drained
15:17from my body
15:18and I collapsed
15:20beside the moving
15:21staircase.
15:22Carlisle Ashford
15:23stood at the top
15:24of the stairs
15:25the Crimson Lion House
15:27prefect badge
15:28shining on his chest.
15:30He wore a dark
15:30red cloak
15:31and his eyes
15:32were full of anger.
15:33Ivy
15:34how long are you
15:36going to keep this up?
15:38I looked up at him.
15:41this was the family
15:42I had trusted
15:43most before.
15:46He had once
15:47dragged several
15:48Silver Serapent House
15:49students
15:49straight to the
15:50dueling room
15:51after they mocked me
15:52for being muggle-born.
15:53Anyone who bullies Ivy
15:56answers to me.
16:02but now
16:03when he looked at me
16:05there was only
16:06impatience
16:06in his eyes.
16:08Selina just woke up
16:09and you ran
16:10to the astronomy tower
16:11to put on this show.
16:15I held the wall
16:16and forced myself
16:17to stand.
16:21I only wanted
16:22to see where
16:23Mom died.
16:25Carlisle's face
16:26darkened.
16:27You
16:28have no right
16:30to mention
16:31Mother.
16:32My fingertips
16:33went cold.
16:34He walked
16:35towards me
16:36one step
16:37at a time.
16:41If you
16:42and Mother
16:42hadn't
16:43been so selfish
16:44would Selina
16:45have suffered
16:46this much?
16:47She was taken
16:49by dark wizards
16:50for years.
16:52She finally
16:53came back
16:54and you
16:55couldn't even
16:55save her once.
16:59Save her?
17:00I laughed.
17:03Carlisle
17:04didn't you
17:05already use
17:06my baby's
17:07life to save
17:08her?
17:09That was only
17:10an unborn
17:11futus.
17:12My ears
17:13wrong
17:13but he
17:14kept going.
17:15Ivy
17:16you took
17:16her life
17:17for so
17:17many years.
17:19Mother
17:19loved you.
17:21I protected
17:22you.
17:23Leon
17:24got engaged
17:24to you.
17:25Theodore
17:25stood by
17:26your side.
17:27Now
17:27the real
17:28Selina
17:28is back.
17:29Why
17:29can't you
17:30give her
17:30even a
17:30little
17:31compensation?
17:32The real
17:32Selina.
17:34So all
17:35these years
17:36I had
17:36been fake
17:37in their
17:37mind.
17:38I asked
17:39him.
17:40Do you
17:40really know
17:40how she
17:41disappeared
17:41back then?
17:43Carlisle
17:44sneered.
17:44She told
17:45us.
17:46You were
17:47jealous of
17:47her so
17:47you left
17:48her alone
17:48near the
17:48forbidden
17:49forest
17:49on purpose.
17:51She hid
17:52by herself.
17:52I had
17:53said those
17:53words
17:54countless
17:54times.
17:55Ever
17:56since
17:56Selina
17:56came back
17:57I had
17:57kept
17:57explaining.
17:59When
18:00we were
18:00babies
18:00she had
18:01hidden
18:01on purpose
18:02to scare
18:02me.
18:03Selina!
18:08Then
18:08she
18:08accidentally
18:09triggered
18:10an old
18:10portkey
18:11near the
18:11forbidden
18:11forest
18:12and was
18:12taken
18:12by
18:13dark
18:13wizards.
18:18But
18:19no one
18:19believed
18:20me
18:20because
18:21Selina
18:21had cried
18:22and said
18:23Carlisle
18:24Ivy
18:25didn't
18:25mean
18:25it.
18:26Don't
18:26blame
18:26her.
18:28so
18:28every
18:28crime
18:29became
18:29mine.
18:31You
18:31are
18:31still
18:32slandering
18:32her.
18:33He
18:33raised
18:33his
18:33hand
18:34and

21:37His
21:38wand
21:38was still
21:39glowing
21:39in his
21:39hand,
21:40but his
21:40eyes
21:40held
21:41only
21:41disappointment.
21:42You

21:49the

22:07were preparing

22:12curse for
22:12so long.
22:14Tonight,
22:14she only wants
22:15to be happy
22:16for a while.
22:17Do you have to
22:17make a scene
22:18here?
22:18I gave a
22:19small laugh.
22:22Do you
22:23know what
22:23it cost
22:24for her
22:24to live?
22:25Leon

23:35The

23:36fell
23:36silent.
23:37He
23:38knew
23:38I
23:38was

23:46mother
23:47of

23:49He

24:15he

24:15get a

24:17after
24:17several

24:19body
24:19couldn't
24:19hold

24:20and
24:21I
24:21fell
24:21backward
24:22in
24:22front
24:22of
24:22him.
24:24As
24:25my
24:25consciousness
24:26faded
24:26into
24:27darkness,
24:28I
24:28breathed
24:28a
24:29sigh
24:29of
24:29relief.
24:32I

24:37feet
24:38were
24:38fixed

24:40This
24:40time,
24:41it
24:41was
24:41not
24:42an
24:42ordinary
24:42binding

24:43It
24:44was a

24:47I
24:48could

24:49What
24:50a pity
24:50that I
24:51haven't
24:51managed
24:51to die
24:52yet.

24:57Outside
24:58the infirmary,
24:59everything
25:00was lively.
25:01Tonight
25:02was Selena's

25:04The image

25:10Even

25:30reminded

30:09I
30:10didn't

30:12Martha

30:14You

30:15I

30:17My
30:18whole
30:18body
30:19had
30:19gone
30:19numb
30:19from

30:21Only
30:21a few
30:21fingers
30:22could
30:22still

30:24Theodore
30:24took
30:24my
30:25hand.
30:26His
30:26eyes
30:26were
30:26terrifyingly
30:27red.
30:28Ivy
30:29what are

30:39Kill
30:40me.
30:40Theodore
30:41went
30:41completely
30:42rigid.
30:43I
30:44could
30:44no
30:44longer
30:45speak.
30:45My
30:46lips
30:46would
30:47not
30:47move.
30:48My
30:48throat
30:49could
30:49not
30:49form a
30:49full
30:50sound.
30:50The
30:51backlash
30:51from the
30:51healing
30:52charm
30:52had
30:53burned
30:53through
30:53my
30:53body.
30:54Theodore
30:55used
30:55every
30:55stabilizing
30:56charm
30:56he
30:57knew.
30:57But
30:58all
30:58he
30:58could
30:58do
30:58was
30:59keep
30:59me
30:59alive
30:59for a
31:00little
31:00longer.
31:01The book
31:01of fate
31:02hung at
31:02the foot
31:03of the
31:03bed.
31:03Five
31:04hours
31:04left.
31:05Theodore
31:06stood
31:06beside
31:07the bed.
31:08The pride
31:08he usually
31:09wore was
31:09gone from
31:10his face.
31:11Again
31:12and again,
31:13he checked
31:13the records.
31:14Again
31:15and again,
31:16he cast
31:16mending
31:17charms.
31:18But
31:18each
31:19time,
31:19the
31:20mending
31:20charm
31:20was
31:21swallowed
31:21by the
31:21hollow
31:22space
31:22where
31:23my
31:23phoenix
31:23fire
31:24used
31:24to be.
31:25Martha
31:25asked
31:26softly.
31:27Is there
31:28anything else
31:28she wants
31:29to say?
31:29Theodore
31:30looked at
31:31me.
31:32I slowly
31:33moved my
31:34fingers.
31:35Martha
31:35offered me
31:36her palm.
31:38I wrote
31:39very slowly,
31:40Mom,
31:41Baby.
31:42Martha's
31:43eyes reddened
31:44at once.
31:46What
31:46happened
31:47to her
31:47baby?
31:48The infirmary
31:49fell dead
31:50silent.
31:51Theodore
31:51lowered his
31:52head.
31:53At last,
31:54he said
31:55it.
31:56The
31:57baby's
31:58phoenix
31:58flame
31:58was
31:58extracted
31:59and
31:59given
31:59to
31:59Selina.
32:01Martha
32:01stepped
32:02back
32:02in
32:02disbelief.
32:04A
32:05six-month-old
32:06baby?
32:06No one
32:07answered.
32:08That
32:09silence
32:09was the
32:10cruelest
32:10confession.
32:12Martha
32:13looked at
32:13me again.
32:16And
32:16her
32:16mother?
32:17Theodore's
32:18face turned
32:19even paler.
32:20I heard
32:21his breathing
32:21shake.
32:22After a
32:23long
32:23moment,
32:24he suddenly
32:25turned and
32:25rushed out
32:26of the
32:26infirmary.
32:27His
32:28furious roar
32:29soon came
32:29from the
32:30hallway.
32:32Carlisle
32:33Ashford,
32:34get over
32:34here right
32:35now!

32:41I mean
32:42Ivy!
32:45Is
32:45Selina the
32:46only sister
32:47you have?
32:47His voice
32:48echoed through
32:49the corridor
32:50and struck the
32:50portraits on
32:51the walls
32:52into silence.
32:54I
32:54closed my
32:55eyes.
32:56In the
32:56past,
32:57hearing him
32:58lose his
32:58temper for
32:59me would
32:59have made
33:00me happy.
33:01Not
33:01anymore.
33:02I no
33:03longer
33:03needed
33:03anyone to
33:04stand up
33:04for me.
33:05Martha
33:05placed
33:06mother's
33:06memory
33:07parchment
33:07before my
33:08eyes.
33:09This
33:09fell from
33:09your
33:10robe.
33:10The
33:10page
33:11lit up
33:11and
33:12mother's
33:12voice
33:12sounded
33:13again.
33:14Ivy,
33:15mom
33:15loves
33:15you.
33:16Tears
33:16slid
33:16from the
33:17corners of
33:17my
33:18eyes.
33:18I
33:19wanted to
33:19tell mom
33:20that I
33:20would
33:20be
33:20leaving

33:21No

33:27baby
33:27be
33:27treated
33:28as
33:28medicine
33:28for
33:29someone
33:29else.
33:30The
33:30book
33:30of
33:30fate
33:30turned
33:31a
33:31page
33:31softly.
33:32The
33:33book
33:33of
33:33fate,
33:34friendship
33:34anchor,
33:35cannot
33:35be
33:36repaired.
33:37When
33:38Carlisle
33:38arrived at
33:39the
33:39infirmary,
33:40his
33:40first words
33:41were
33:41still
33:42blame.
33:48Doesn't
33:49Ivy
33:49know
33:50Selina
33:50can't
33:51handle
33:51being
33:51upset?
33:52The
33:52moment
33:52he
33:53finished
33:53speaking,
33:54Theodore
33:54slapped him
33:55across the
33:56face.
33:57The
33:57sound
33:57was
33:58sharp.
33:59The
33:59entire
33:59infirmary
34:00went
34:01silent.
34:02Carlisle's
34:02head snapped
34:03to the
34:03side,
34:04and the
34:04Crimson
34:05Lion
34:05House
34:05badge
34:06on his
34:06chest
34:06shook.
34:07He
34:08stared at
34:08Theodore
34:09in
34:09disbelief.
34:11Are
34:12you
34:12insane?
34:13Theodore's
34:14eyes were
34:15bloodshot.
34:15He
34:16pointed at
34:16me on
34:17the
34:17bed.
34:20Look
34:21at
34:21her!
34:22She
34:23is
34:23dying!
34:25Only
34:25then did
34:26Carlisle
34:27look at
34:27me.
34:27His
34:28face
34:28changed,
34:29little
34:30by
34:30little.
34:31Maybe
34:31I
34:32truly
34:32looked
34:32terrible
34:33now.
34:34The
34:34healing
34:34charm
34:35backlash
34:35had
34:36drained
34:36every
34:36trace
34:37of
34:37color
34:37from
34:37my
34:38skin.
34:39And
34:40the
34:40cracked
34:40engagement
34:41mark
34:41on
34:41my
34:42wrist
34:42was
34:42gray
34:43white
34:43and
34:43glaring.
34:45He
34:45stood
34:46there,
34:46not
34:46daring
34:47to
34:47come
34:47closer.
34:52You
34:52are
34:52her
34:53brother.
34:54She
34:54may
34:55have
34:55something
34:55she
34:55wants
34:55to
34:56say
34:56to
34:56you.
34:57I
34:57did
34:57not
34:57move.
34:58I
34:59did
34:59not
34:59know
34:59what
35:00there
35:00was
35:00left
35:00to
35:00say
35:01to
35:01him.
35:01When
35:02I
35:02did
35:02not
35:02respond,
35:03his
35:04voice
35:04grew
35:04hoarse.
35:06Ivy,
35:07are
35:07you
35:07pretending
35:08again?
35:08Theodore
35:09lunged at
35:09him and
35:10grabbed
35:10his
35:10collar.
35:12She
35:13can't
35:13even
35:14speak!
35:15Carlisle
35:15finally
35:16looked
35:16frightened.
35:18Not
35:19guilty
35:19yet.
35:21Just
35:22frightened.
35:24How?
35:27At that
35:28moment,
35:29the echo
35:29orb at
35:30Carlisle's
35:31waist
35:31lit up.
35:32Selina's
35:33voice came
35:34through it,
35:34soft and
35:35sweet.
35:41Carlisle,
35:42where are
35:42you?
35:42Everyone is
35:43asking why
35:44you left
35:44the ball.
35:45Carlisle
35:46instinctively
35:46tried to
35:47shut it
35:47off,
35:48but Theodore
35:49pressed his
35:49hand down.
35:50The echo
35:51orb remained
35:52connected.
35:53Selina probably
35:54thought only
35:55Carlisle could
35:56hear her,
35:56so her voice
35:57became even
35:58softer.
36:02Carlisle,
36:03Leon said
36:03Ivy's engagement
36:04markers cracked.
36:05Does that mean
36:06they're about to
36:07break off the
36:07engagement?
36:09Everyone in
36:10the infirmary
36:11froze.
36:13Selina went
36:14on.
36:15If he ends
36:16the engagement
36:16with Ivy,
36:18will people
36:19talk if I'm
36:20with him?
36:24Carlisle's
36:25face lost
36:25all color,
36:26then Leon's
36:27gentle voice
36:28came from
36:28the other
36:28side.
36:31You just
36:32woke up.
36:33Don't think
36:34about that.
36:35Selina laughed
36:36softly.
36:38But Ivy
36:39is always
36:40making scenes
36:41like this.
36:42I'd rate.
36:45I'm
36:45Sifal Ivory
36:46exceeding the
36:46corn-shizzed
36:47hat.
36:48I'm so
36:49afraid she'll
36:50say I killed
36:50the baby
36:51again.
36:51All of you
36:52agreed to
36:52save me,
36:53didn't you?
36:59Leon did
37:00not deny it.
37:04She'll
37:04understand.
37:05I closed
37:06my eyes.
37:07So what they
37:08discussed at
37:09the ball was
37:10when I would
37:10finally make
37:11room for
37:11her.
37:13Theodore
37:14snatched the
37:15echo orb.
37:17Selina,
37:18do you know
37:19she's dying?
37:20The other
37:21side went
37:22quiet for a
37:23second.
37:24Then Leon's
37:25voice turned
37:26cold.
37:31Stop
37:32joking.
37:32Is she
37:33making trouble
37:33again?
37:34She won't
37:35be making a
37:35scene much
37:36longer.
37:37You'll be
37:38free soon.
37:39The book
37:40of fate
37:40rose.
37:42After the
37:43echo orb
37:44incident,
37:44people quickly
37:45gathered outside
37:46the infirmary.
37:47Students from
37:48Crimson Lion
37:49House,
37:50professors from
37:51Black Eagle
37:51House,
37:52classmates from
37:53White Badger
37:54House,
37:55and several
37:55prefects from
37:56Silver Serpent
37:57House had all
37:58heard what
37:58Selina said
37:59through the
38:00communication.
38:01Leon came
38:02too.
38:03When he pushed
38:04the door open,
38:05impatience still
38:06lingered on his
38:07face.
38:08Where is
38:09Ivy?
38:09No one
38:10answered.
38:12Martha
38:13stepped aside.
38:14Leon saw
38:15me on the
38:16bed, and
38:17his pupils
38:17shrank hard.
38:19How did
38:19this happen?
38:20I looked at
38:21him and did
38:22not even bother
38:23to blink.
38:24Theodore gave
38:24a cold laugh.
38:27Didn't you
38:28say she was
38:29making trouble?
38:30Leon froze
38:31where he
38:31stood.
38:32His gaze
38:33moved from
38:34my face to
38:35the grey-white
38:35engagement mark
38:36on my wrist.
38:38Carlisle stood
38:39by the door,
38:40still holding
38:40his cheek.
38:41He looked at
38:42Leon, then
38:43at me.
38:44No one could
38:45find a sentence
38:46that was not
38:46an excuse.
38:49All of you
38:50should see
38:51what you
38:52chose.
38:53At that
38:53moment, the
38:54book of fate
38:55rose from
38:55beside my
38:56bed, and
38:57its black
38:57cover opened
38:58by itself.
38:59It never
39:00showed its
39:01contents to
39:01others.
39:02But now,
39:03everyone saw
39:04the words on
39:05the page.
39:06The book
39:07of fate.
39:08Fate recall
39:09begins.
39:10The book
39:11of fate
39:12forced the
39:12infirmary's
39:13recall charm
39:14awake, and
39:15last night's
39:16treatment records
39:17unfolded in
39:17the air.
39:18Everyone saw
39:19me being placed
39:20on the
39:21treatment bed.
39:22They saw
39:23Theodore activate
39:24the healing
39:24charm.
39:25They saw
39:26Carlisle
39:26standing outside
39:27the door,
39:28forcing Mother
39:29to sign the
39:30consent scroll.
39:31They saw
39:32Leon silently
39:33press the
39:34Valentin
39:34family ring
39:35against the
39:36contract to
39:36confirm the
39:37baby's
39:37identity.
39:41You cannot
39:42do this!
39:44That is
39:44Ivy's
39:45life too!
39:46Carlisle's
39:47voice followed.
39:49Mother,
39:50Selina is
39:50your biological
39:51daughter.
39:52The baby
39:52in Ivy's
39:53belly is
39:55only unborn
39:56baby.
39:57Carlisle
39:57stumbled
39:58back.
40:00I didn't
40:01mean it
40:02like that.
40:03The book
40:03of fate
40:04did not
40:04stop.
40:07Every
40:08denial died
40:08before it
40:09could leave
40:09his mouth,
40:10because the
40:11image had
40:11already spoken
40:12for him.
40:13Theodore's
40:14face went
40:15pale as he
40:15watched his
40:16own hands
40:17in the
40:17recall.
40:17I read
40:18the record.
40:20I thought
40:21it was
40:22only...
40:23You
40:24thought,
40:25and she
40:26paid.
40:26Leon
40:27stared at
40:28the image
40:28of his
40:28ring pressed
40:29against the
40:30contract.
40:31The ring
40:31had recorded
40:32his silence
40:33more faithfully
40:34than any
40:34witness.
40:37Ivy.
40:38I did
40:39not answer.
40:40If he
40:41wanted
40:41forgiveness,
40:42he had
40:42come to
40:43the wrong
40:43bedside.
40:44The image
40:45stayed in
40:46the air,
40:46forcing him
40:47to watch
40:48the exact
40:48moment he
40:49had traded
40:49my baby
40:50for Selina's
40:51survival.
40:52No one
40:53in the room
40:54could pretend
40:54it was a
40:55misunderstanding
40:56anymore.
40:59stop the
41:00recall!
41:01Stop it!
41:02A second
41:03image appeared.
41:05It was
41:05by the
41:06edge of
41:06the
41:06Forbidden
41:07Forest
41:07years ago.
41:09A young
41:10Selina hid
41:11behind a
41:11tree,
41:12watching me
41:13desperately
41:13call her
41:14name.
41:15Selina!
41:16Where are
41:17you?
41:20Stop
41:21hiding!
41:22This
41:22isn't
41:23funny!
41:23young Selina
41:25covered her
41:25mouth and
41:26laughed,
41:26clearly waiting
41:27for me to
41:28get scolded.
41:29The next
41:30moment,
41:30an old
41:31porky
41:31lit up.
41:32A dark
41:33wizard's
41:33shadow
41:34emerged
41:34from the
41:34trees and
41:35dragged her
41:36into the
41:36dark.
41:37No!
41:38Let me
41:38go!
41:41Selina!
41:42Everyone
41:43saw it
41:44clearly.
41:44I had
41:45not abandoned
41:46her.
41:46She had
41:47hidden by
41:47herself to
41:48frame me.
41:49Carlisle's
41:49face turned
41:50deathly pale.
41:51His knees
41:52went weak,
41:52and he
41:53almost fell.
41:54No!
41:56She said...
41:57A crimson
41:57lion student
41:58standing near
41:59the door
41:59whispered
41:59first,
42:00you know,
42:01so Ivy
42:02was blamed
42:02for nothing?
42:03Another
42:04student
42:04lowered
42:04their
42:05head,
42:05unable
42:06to look
42:06at me.
42:07We
42:07all
42:08believed
42:08Selina.
42:09Carlisle
42:09covered
42:10his ears,
42:10but the
42:11recall charm
42:12did not
42:12stop.
42:13His
42:13old
42:13accusation
42:14echoed
42:14in the
42:14ward,
42:15one
42:15sentence
42:16after
42:16another.
42:17Ivy,
42:17I
42:17didn't
42:17know.
42:18But
42:19not
42:19knowing
42:19had never
42:20stopped
42:20him from
42:20punishing
42:21me.
42:22I
42:22still
42:22could
42:23not
42:23speak,
42:23but the
42:24memory
42:24answered
42:25for me.
42:25The
42:25young
42:26version
42:26of
42:26me
42:26kept
42:27running
42:27toward
42:27the
42:28Forbidden
42:28Forest,
42:29screaming
42:29Selina's
42:30name until
42:31her voice
42:31broke.
42:32That
42:32was the
42:32sister
42:33Carlisle
42:33had chosen
42:34not to
42:34hear.
42:35I
42:36called
42:36you
42:36cruel
42:37because
42:37I
42:37believed
42:37her.
42:39A
42:40A
42:40third
42:40image
42:40appeared.
42:41Selina
42:42sat
42:42in a
42:42dark
42:43wizard's
42:43chamber,
42:44a
42:44bloodline
42:44scroll
42:45laid out
42:45before
42:46her.
42:46The
42:46name
42:47shown
42:47on
42:47the
42:47scroll
42:48had
42:48originally
42:48been
42:49mine.
42:49She
42:50used
42:50a
42:50concealment
42:51potion
42:51to
42:51change
42:52it
42:52to
42:52her
42:52own.
42:53As
42:54long
42:54as
42:54they
42:54believe
42:55I
42:55am
42:55the
42:55prophesied
42:56girl,
42:58Ivy's
42:58phoenix
42:59fire
42:59will be
43:00mine.
43:01The
43:01infirmary
43:02went
43:02dead
43:03silent.
43:03Leon
43:04stared
43:04at
43:05the
43:05image.
43:05Silver
43:06blood
43:06light
43:07began
43:07to
43:07seep
43:07from
43:07the
43:08engagement
43:08mark
43:08on
43:09his
43:09wrist.
43:10The
43:10book
43:10of
43:10fate
43:10turned
43:11to
43:11the
43:11next
43:11page.
43:13True

46:38were
46:38I
46:39would
46:39have

46:41listened
46:41to
46:41them

46:52believed
46:53me
46:53only
46:53because

46:55That
46:56was
46:56the

46:58It

47:05Theodore
47:06did
47:06something
47:06no

47:08He
47:08walked

47:39Are
47:39you
47:40out
47:40of

47:41Theodore

47:47She
47:48asked
47:48me
47:48to
47:48kill
47:49her.
47:49He
47:49smiled
47:50faintly.
47:51It
47:51looked
47:51worse
47:52than
47:52crying.
47:53I
47:53can't
47:54do
47:54it.
47:55But
47:55at
47:55least
47:55this
47:56time
47:56I
47:56won't
47:56choose

48:08badly
48:08that
48:08his
48:09wand
48:09nearly
48:09slipped.
48:10Still,
48:11he
48:11held
48:11the
48:12spell
48:12steady.
48:13This
48:13time,
48:14the
48:14pain
48:14would
48:14be
48:14his

48:17Theodore,
48:18stop!
48:19If this
48:20fails,
48:20she'll

48:21She

49:59Raven
50:00Academy
50:00of
50:01Magic
50:01held a
50:01public
50:02trial.
50:03Selina
50:03was struck
50:04by the
50:04backlash
50:05of the
50:05remaining
50:05pages

50:07and lost
50:08the
50:08Phoenix
50:08bloodline

50:10Her

50:12as the
50:12prophesied
50:13girl,
50:13her

50:15and the
50:16proof of
50:16her deals
50:17with dark
50:17wizards
50:18were all
50:18exposed
50:19under the
50:19tribunal
50:20recall
50:20charm.
50:22Selina
50:23Ashfield,
50:24do you
50:25deny
50:25altering
50:26the
50:26bloodline
50:27scroll?
50:28Selina
50:29stood in
50:29the center
50:29of the
50:30hall,
50:30pale and
50:31shaking.
50:33I was
50:34scared.
50:36I only
50:37wanted to
50:38survive.
50:39You
50:40survived
50:40by stealing
50:42another
50:43girl's
50:43life.
50:44The
50:44recall
50:44charm
50:45opened
50:45again
50:46above
50:46her
50:46head.
50:47Everyone
50:48saw the
50:48dark
50:48wizard's
50:49chamber,
50:50the
50:50concealment
50:51potion,
50:51and her
50:52own voice
50:53saying
50:53Ivy's
50:54Phoenix
50:54fire would
50:55be hers.
50:56She
50:57made us
50:58hate
50:58Ivy.
50:59She
50:59misled
51:00the
51:00academy
51:00and
51:01caused
51:02the
51:02death
51:02of the
51:03true
51:04Phoenix
51:04heir.
51:05Selina
51:06looked
51:06toward
51:06Leon
51:07first,
51:07then
51:08Carlisle,
51:09as if
51:09one of
51:10them
51:10would
51:10still
51:10protect
51:11her.
51:13Carlisle,
51:14I'm
51:15your
51:15sister.
51:16Say
51:17something.
51:19Carlisle
51:20did not
51:20move.
51:22I already
51:23chose the
51:23wrong
51:23sister once.
51:25Selina
51:25turned to
51:26Leon.
51:28Leon,
51:29you said
51:29I only
51:30had one
51:30life.
51:30Nothing
51:31is more
51:31important
51:31than me.
51:32Leon's
51:33face
51:33was
51:34cold.
51:36And
51:36Ivy
51:37only
51:37had
51:37one
51:37too.
51:38The
51:39tribunal
51:40recall
51:40charm
51:41continued
51:41to
51:41burn
51:41above
51:42the
51:42hall.
51:44The
51:45stolen
51:45Phoenix
51:45bloodline
51:46tore
51:46itself
51:47out
51:47of
51:47Selina's
51:48body
51:48in
51:48golden
51:48sparks.
51:54She
51:55screamed
51:55and collapsed
51:56to the
51:56floor.
52:00No!
52:01It's
52:02mine!
52:03It
52:03shouldn't
52:04be
52:04mine!
52:10stolen
52:11blood
52:11never
52:13becomes
52:13yours.
52:14The
52:15golden
52:15sparks
52:16did
52:16not
52:16return
52:17to
52:17Ivy.
52:18Nothing
52:19could.
52:21They
52:22only
52:22vanished
52:23into
52:23ash
52:23before
52:24everyone's
52:24eyes.
52:26Leon
52:26watched
52:27in
52:27silence.
52:36That
52:37was
52:37when
52:38the
52:38Valentin
52:38family
52:39elder
52:39stood.
52:44Leon
52:45Valentin.
52:47You
52:49pressed the
52:50family ring
52:51against the
52:52consent
52:52contract
52:53and
52:54confirmed
52:55the
52:55unborn
52:56heir.
52:58I
52:59know.
53:09You
53:10then
53:11allowed
53:11that
53:12heir
53:12to be
53:13sacrificed.
53:14Leon's
53:14fingers
53:15tightened
53:15around
53:15the
53:16dead
53:16engagement
53:16mark.
53:20I
53:21know.

53:24the
53:24right
53:25to
53:25make
53:25a

53:26engagement.
53:29The
53:30Valentin
53:30inheritance
53:31is
53:31withdrawn.
53:33Leon did
53:33not
53:33resist.
53:34Give
53:35it to
53:36someone
53:36who
53:38understands
53:38what a
53:39vow
53:39means.
53:41The
53:42words
53:42sounded
53:42calm
53:43but his
53:43hands
53:43were
53:44shaking.
53:45Carlisle
53:45stood
53:46nearby
53:46pale
53:46and
53:47motionless.
53:48Theodore
53:49lowered
53:49his
53:49eyes.
53:53Everyone
53:53remained
53:54silent
53:54except for
53:55Selina
53:55who reached
53:56out to
