Isabella flinched a little when the owl landed on her. She watched as a letter fell onto her lap. She just stared at it. Her tears slowed down. They started to drip onto the letter so she picked it up and dabbed it off a little. She didn't notice Gyan was still there. She was too unstable. She wanted to know what happened but she couldn't. She looked up in an attempt to find Gyan. To her surprise he was standing a little in front of her. She stood up and sighed. She whipped her tears away and smiled. She was just happy he was still there. Her smile faded fast though. She walked over to Gyan and opened her mouth to speak but was silenced when she saw he was crying. Her eyes filled with sadness as she walked closer. She hesitated then wrapped her arms around him hoping to comfort him. The letter she had in her hand dropped to her feet. She kind of forgotten about it.
"It'll be alright." She sighed heavily. "Well I can't promise that since I don't know what is going on... but I do know that it will get better. It always does. That is just life." She pulled away and smiled a smile that was filled with so much emotion, love, sadness, compassion, it was kind and soft too. She looked down and picked up the letter. She brushed it off then looked at Gyan. "I think this is for you." She smiled as she offered it to him.

He stood there, perplexed. He kept his stance, staring forward. Her hold though, immediatley washed away his pain. He relaxed a bit, and wiped his face clean. He took the letter, glad for an excuse not to look into those eyes.

Gyan stared at the letter. "Great...and now this" He thought.

Isabella kept her eyes fixed on him even though he wouldn't look at her. She smiled faintly hoping to comfort him.
"If you don't mind me asking... what does it say?" Her tone was soft and caring. She didn't know what to do. She felt bad. She felt like everything that just happened was all her fault. She hesitated then opened her arms offering him another hug. Only this time she was going to let him make the choice if he wanted to hug her back or not.

A tear escaped Gyans unwilling eye. He turned around and fell into the open arms, a fresh wave of tears coming on. He said nothing, but held up the letter for her to read.

Isabella fell back a little when he fell on her. She caught herself before she fell though. She took the letter with one hand and held him tight with the other. She gasped slightly as she read it. She threw her other arm around Gyan and the letter fell to the ground and just kind of stared of at them. She held him close as he cried.
"I'm so sorry Gyan. But it will be alright... right? I can go with you if you want." She smiled faintly at him even though he couldn't see her. She held him tighter hoping she was comforting him a little at least.

Gyan stood up, wiping all signs of emotion from his face. "No, it's okay. I can go."

Isabella looked at him with care in her gaze. As he stood up.
"Are you sure?" She smiled but her smile was filled with sadness.

He gave a curt nod, knuckles whitening at his grip on his wand. A spark or two would shoot out every now and then. His hands were back into fists, re-opening the wounds and drawing more blood. Whoever had put Iggy in this state would be there themselves soon enough. He spun around and walked back up to the castle, not uttering a single word.

Isabella watched him leave then sighed. I hope he will be alright. She smiled weakly at the thought then stood up and walked back to the castle also.
