Chapter 53 Assurance

• Joana went into the kitchen and chugged down a whole gallon of vamscren. It was daylight, and she needed to go somewhere, anywhere in fact that wouldn’t remind her of the amazing times she spent with Derick. She needed a form of assurance that she was making the right decision. She needed to find something that would remind her of the times she spent with Andrew, and she knew just where to go.
• She left the castle and flew out through the gates in the direction of her neighborhood where she lived as a human. She knew that Dana had warned her not to do this until she became human, but she decided to risk it just this once. All she needed was a little convincing that she wouldn’t regret this decision she was about to make for the rest of her life, like Derick had said. Two things added to her doubts; the first of which was when the supreme council warned her that she was making the same mistake Marylin did in her past life, the second was when the evergreen river was trying to show her something that she thought would try to make her change her mind. Some part of her wanted to ignore those pointers, but they were just too glaring.
• She kept on asking herself; what was the mistake Marylin had made in her past life? Did she ever regret her decision to become human? And what was it that the evergreen river wanted to show her then? She didn’t have an answer to any of those questions, and the part of her that wanted to return home didn’t want to find out.
