“ I missed you so much! I have so many things to tell you. ” - Anastasia hugging Miakoda and not wanting to let go after her and Achilles saved her

Miakoda was still in a daze when Anastasia hugged her. She barely could move, still weak from the drugs and the lack of blood, but somehow she succeeded to put her arms around the girl. Even if she wasn't hugging her as tight as she wanted, the gist was there. The vampire closed her eyes and put her face into the demigoddess' neck. At this moment, she knew she was finally safe, and she couldn't help but silently cry into the arms of her friend. Anastasia wasn't truly surprised by her reaction, and didn't even want to think about what she had been through since the last time they meet each others. The lycan hummed to the vampire to appeased her while stroking her hair, making her understand that she was in good hands now, that nothing will ever happen to her anymore.

“Thank you.” Miakoda succeeded to say through her tears.

“It's fine, I'm here.” Anastasia reassured, still stroking her hair. “I won't let you again. I promise.”

“I missed you too. Very much.”

This made Anastasia smile brightly, before she kissed the vampire's cheek. After a moment, Achilles arrived. He succeeded to implant a fake memory into the seller's mind, making him believe he paid the 15 000 dollars he owed him for the woman, and the seller didn't doubt his own memory. The demigod was proud of him. He had a smile on his face, but the smile faded the moment Miakoda saw him and left Anastasia's arms with difficulty, stepping back from them both. It was clear that the girl did not trust men, and seeing what happened sooner, Achilles could understand why. He automatically raised his both hands to show her he did not want her any harms, he even stepped back to let her more space. Anastasia, as for her, looked at both of them before coming between them, looking at Miakoda.

“No, it's fine! He is a friend.” She reassured, but she could see that Miakoda was still wary.

“He is the one who bought me... No friends do that."

“I'm the one who asked him. I needed you with us, and that was the only way.” Anastasia explained, and it seemed to appeased Miakoda. “I needed you to be free.”

“But he paid for me. I'm not free, I belong to him.”

“We didn't really pay, we lied about that. So technically, you are free. You belong to no one. Believe me. Achilles will never hurt you.”

“Hmm...” Achilles said, clearing his throat. “Can both of you speak in a language I know, please?”

Anastasia frowned, visibly a little confused by his words, before realizing that Miakoda and her were speaking in Miakoda's native tongue. The demigoddess couldn't help but laugh at that and shook her head a little. But Miakoda was still wary of Achilles. She came closer to Anastasia, took her hand, but stay away from the man, who stepped back once more. He felt a bit of hurt, for he always thought he was someone worth being trusted but seeing how suspicious the girl was, he started to doubted that.

“Miakoda, this is Achilles. My best friend. I told you about him once or twice.”

“Only once or twice?” Achilles asked, offended.

“Oh... He is the one who angered your Gods...”

“That's what you said about me? Not how nice I was, or how good of an illusionist I was. But how I angered the Gods?”

“Shut up.” Anastasia laughed and winked at him. “Achilles, this is Miakoda. We were... roommates, if we can say that like that, in a temple. We escaped together and stayed together for a while. But somehow we were separated.”

Miakoda relaxed a little now that she kind of knew who was the man in front of her. But she stayed near Anastasia anyway. The demigoddess started to walk, she wanted to be as far away as this stupid place as possible, still holding Miakoda's hand in one side, while she took Achilles arm on the other side. The woman seemed in a particularly good mood now, and was leading the two others in a park, for she wanted to be in a quiet place with them, far away from people gaze. She sat on the ground, not caring about her pretty dress, Achilles and Miakoda did the same. For a while, they stayed silence. Achilles was looking at people passing by, looking at them with puzzled look for being on the ground, which quite amused him. Miakoda was playing with the grass, pulling it off in order to occupy her mind. She was still in a daze, which is why her head was resting on Anastasia shoulder, while she closed her eyes. Anastasia, as for her, was looking at the clear sky, and a thought went through her mind. She turned around to face Miakoda, bringing hers and Achilles' attention on the lycan.

“Wait, how can you walk in the daylight?!” She suddenly asked, confusing her two friends.

“Oh, thanks to this.” Miakoda answered, showing her one of her ring, a pretty one with a half moon and a star in it. “I met a witch, in Salem. She was nice, and she knew a spell to make me walk in the daytime.”

“That's fantastic! We will be able to do so many things together!” Anastasia couldn't help her enthusiasm, and that made Achilles laughed a little. Then, her smile turned into a frowned. “You must be hungry, aren't you? What did they use to make you so weak? When was the last time you truly ate?”

For a moment, Miakoda said nothing. She toyed with her bracelet, a bit nervous. Her eyes went from Anastasia to Achilles, –who was still at a good distance of her, and was barely listening, letting the two women catching up– before she looked at the ground, going back to pull the grass off. The girl could barely remember the last few weeks to be honest. She knew she was drugged daily, in order to keep her as weak as possible, because the seller knew what she was. They didn't think it was important to tell the buyer, though, after all they just wanted the money, who cares what happened to the women and the buyers after that? The vampire sighed a little, before she laid down on the ground, looking at the sky.

“They used something called vervain. It makes me very weak, and it hurts a lot...” She finally answered, while Anastasia laid down next to her, her head pressed against Miakoda's shoulder. “I think the last time I really eat was three weeks ago.”

“Three weeks?!” Anastasia repeated while raising. “Oh, no, no, no. come here, drink from me.”

“No, I...”

“Shut up and do it. No one will notice. Ash, keep an eye on people, please.”

The young man did not understand what she meant by that, but he obliged. He looked around, but no one was in the park or at least not the part they were in. from the corner of his eyes, he saw Anastasia rolling her sleeve and handed her arm to Miakoda. Achilles was puzzled, until he saw a hesitant Miakoda sticking her teeth into Anastasia's wrist. The lycan sighed a little with displeasure for it probably hurt a little, but did not move for all that. The two demigods looked at Miakoda drinking thirstily from Anastasia, who slowly started to lose her balanced. Achilles came closer and hold his best friend, so she won't fall on the ground, and Miakoda seemed to be aware of that for she immediately stopped drinking.

“I'm so sorry, I didn't want t-”

“It's all fine. As long as you feel better, it's fine. I have plenty of blood.” Anastasia said with amusement.

“You could have told me she was a vampire!” Achilles intervened, which made Anastasia frowned.

“Does that change anything?”

“No, of course not, but I would have loved to know this piece of information sooner. Before seeing her in action, for example.”

“You're being too dramatic.”

“You both are funny.”

Miakoda's words bring Achilles' and Anastasia's attention to her. She laughed, and they couldn't help but smile at that. Anastasia, although a little weak due to the loss of blood, came closer to Miakoda and hugged her tight. This time, the vampire was able to hugged her back properly. Yes she felt still a bit in the daze, but thanks to Anastasia's blood, she felt better, she regained some colours and was less weak than before. Who knew that demigods' blood were more powerful than human blood. Once again, Anastasia kissed Miakoda's cheek, making her smile and giggle a little.

“I thought about you all the time, you know. We shouldn't have been separated.”

“I thought of you too. Every full moon, especially.”

“All of this is quite touching, really, but it's getting late, ladies. Let's find a place to spend the night.” The women agreed to Achilles words, and they all got up in order to find aninn to rest for the night.

“I grew to understand her expressions first, the thoughtful quiet of her eyes, the flickering smiles she would hide behind her hand. We could not talk of much, in those early days, but I did not mind. There was a peace in sitting beside her…” – the song of Achilles
