Letitia, I love you

Joshua's sanity immediately prevailed as he was surrounded by the familiar scent.

He clawed anxiously at the floor and it took him a long time to get his senses fully back. In the sea air he shuddered and turned back into a human.

Letitia had no strength whatsoever and she collapsed almost completely into Joshua's arms.

She held Joshua's hand and she knew that she must look very ugly now.

Joshua's golden brown hair glowed softly in the sunset and he shuddered as he dropped a kiss on Letitia's brow.

"It's over." He cupped Letitia's face and said earnestly, "I'm going to take you home with me."

It was strange, she hadn't cried when she was whipped by Beatrice Cecil, she hadn't cried when she was tortured and abused, but as Joshua held her, Letitia she burst into tears.

She has a home now.
