“Monster, monster, stay longer, stay longer, shine bright all night, like the moonlight at midnight for a witch’s sight.”

To my right, Theseus began to glow like the moon. His skin was even whiter. He stared down at himself in shock as my hands began to tremble.

“Ugh!” Theseus hissed, reaching up to grab his head, and his whole body shook.

“Theseus!” I called out, grabbing him as he dropped to his knees.

Rhea was already on the other side of him. But he held out his hand to stop her. His eyes looked at me.

“Keep…reading,” he gritted out through clenched teeth.

“Theseus what’s happening…”

“I think…I think I’m remembering something.” He held my arms. “Keep reading.”

I shook my head. “I don’t want to.”

He smiled even through the pain. “We came here for the truth, remember?”

“Damn it.” I glanced down at the pages, flipping through it, but there was nothing there. “It’s empty! There are only words on the first page! And you’re still glowing!”

“Try.”

“I am!” I hollered at him before throwing the book to the side and reaching out to hold him.

His skin was cold, even colder than it should have been like ice was crawling over his skin to encase me, too.

Magic, this would be a very good time to kick in.

It was a kid’s spell so…how did kids talk?

“Monster, monster, don’t stay any longer or all night or at midnight in the moonlight, because I am a creature of the night, a monster too in your sight,” I said quickly, and the light dimmed from his skin until it returned to his normal color.

His whole body went limp as he leaned against me. “I remember…”

“What do you remember?” I asked gently.

He glanced up at me, his eyes searching mine, and there was pain in them. “You took my memories…You killed me, Druella.”
