Alex tried to fight off the guards that grabbed him but he had used all his power to try to heal Nyx. He struggled weakly for a few moments before he gave up, knowing he was beaten. In the amount of time it took Luna to heal Nyx the rest of the way he had regained some of his strength and was well enough to pick her up. He gently folded her in his arms, wincing at the pain he knew she felt, and silently carried her out of the room. Over and over he told himself he should have stopped her, that she wasn't ready, but he knew that she would have gone with or without his blessing. Instead he had to be glad she was still alive, and carry her back to his room. When he closed the door, he coated the outside of the ice with fire, not only barring people from entering but punishing them for trying. As he lay her on his bed and stroked her hair, he hissed her softly on the forehead. "You're gonna be alright, Nyx." He said, trying to keep the tears out of his voice.

Caroline didn't watch the whole scene, but she hadn't been able to shut out the sounds. When it was over, she gently tugged on Kyron's shirt sleeve to get his attention. "Can you get me out of here? I'm not sure I can walk right now, but I don't want to be here anymore."
