Is There No Way? (Edited)

"Nerissa…" Malacai said while standing behind her, his hand on her shoulder.

"It's not your fault Malacai, it's mine. I should not have left her alone... I…" Nerissa's voice trailed off. She took a deep breath trying to calm herself down, then continued.

"Malacai, is there a way to recover her?"

"The only thing I could think of is looking for Lilith, or the elixir at the Vatican."

Nerissa eyebrow creased, looking for Lilith is out of the question for her. She already saw how strong Cassius is; the people that Lilith and Alaric are fighting now will certainly be even stronger.

Just like the hooded apostle. Even with all of them combined, including Mara, it's still a question whether they can beat it or not.

The other option is the Vatican, but she still doesn't know how far they need to go to get the elixir. Fear starts creeping into her heart; her mother is already in danger. But what if she loses Malacai too?
