Ravyn caught Daisy just as her knees buckled, lifting her into his arms with a roar already tearing from his chest.

The metallic scent of blood hung thick in the air, sharp and undeniable, igniting his instincts. He turned sharply, prepared to rush her straight to the hospital wing, when Daisy’s trembling fingers clutched at his collar.

"Rav... stop," she whispered weakly. "She’s leaving." He froze, confusion flickered across his face as his gaze followed the direction of Daisy’s eyes.

Blood dripped steadily from both of her wrists, staining his sleeves, yet her attention was fixed on Seraphine, standing a few feet away, upright despite the tension, a small travel bag resting quietly at her side.
