Marcus wrapped his arms around Rachael and took off into the air, it was true that he had the old ring on him but he never let it out of his sight, like a reminder of his mistakes. He made sure she couldn't feel the knife as they went to the top of the school. He could see her already, talking to the construct. He landed on the roof and set Rachael down before taking his true form once again. The knife was still hidden away, having been absorbed into his arm by another spell he knew. "Avarael", he said walking up to her, making sure that Rachael was behind him. "I need to talk to you", he said as he felt his nerve solidify.<br/><br/>He doubted that she wouldn't even talk to him, but he doubted she would be nice to him about it.
