The entire pack was taken back when Joy Ateara ran into Emily and Sam's home flustered.

The first thing everyone had grimly assumed was that something happened to Zahra and Quil felt weak to his knees still not prepared for the worst.

"Zahra needs the ocean" The moment those words left Joy's lips, Embry and Quil both had shared looks of confusion.

"But" Embry started," She can't-

He didn't finish the sentence, but each of them knew what he was going to say.

She needed the one thing she couldn't touch.

The one thing that could quite literally burn her alive.

While everyone shared expressions of concern, all of them knowing the current situation of how what she needed was something they feared they couldn't grant.

Emily was the only one who held her composure and was the first to speak up at the rising tension building in the room.

The males and Joy all turned to her as she let out a sigh," We know what the water does to her, but it might be the only choice we have"

"I can't do that" Quil denied the choice," I saw what the water did to her-The way she screamed is still implanted in my head Em..." His eyes glistened as his voice cracked on each word.

"What if it's just temporary? What if the water only hurt until she was submerged?" Emily revealed as she lifted a hand to her chin

"So, it's like your saying it can be part of the process for her?" Paul quirked his eyebrow and they all shared looks.

"But the risk" Sam stated," It's only a theory"

Quil tightened his lips in a firm frown hearing Sam's words.

Was he willing to risk it?

What if they are completely wrong and she could lose her life?

Joy stepped forward placing her hand on his shoulder," Son when she asked for it-It's like she knew it was what she desperately needed"

Quil peered up at his mother who had kept a firm expression. It took a moment before the next words left his lips," I'll give Zahra what she wants-even if I hate the idea. I don't want to be the wall stopping her from what she urgently desires"

Meanwhile, with Zahra who was currently in bed and alone at the Ateara Residence. The young Selkie could feel her mind growing fear as she felt the hair on her arms rise.

"Zahra" a sickening sardonic tone picked up in her ears and the young female felt her body burn at the familiar tone.

While the fear grew each second, Zahra knew she wasn't alone anymore-and her visitor was not Joy, Quil or anyone human for the matter.

The young female's throat tightened as she saw the individual before her-and all her memories returned.

The night she was cast away after learning the truth.
