"I-i don't know." I say quietly, shaking my head. "It depends really." I pause before continuing. "It depends who they've killed, and who they were trying to protect. Also depends on the reason they had to resort to actually killing the person and if they ignored alternatives or not." I shrug.

"Say it was-...oh for fucks sake. Isa, help me. There's blood all over my appartment, Ian-...he-...I don't know. He just-...he was there and shaking so bad and there was blood all over him and he said something about the forest and something about Watkins...Michael Watkins...and some order or another...and his mark showing up clearer...I don't-...what am I supposed to do? Turn him in? To the ministry? To the Order? Or just-...just forget about it...? What do I do, Isa?" I say quietly.

"Oh god Ian-...Mika..." I put my head in my hands, trying to ignore the sick feeling in my stomach, as i find out that another one of my friends had been killed. Let alone being murdered by another one of my friends. "You can't turn him in to the ministry." I say after a minute. "The Order probably already know at least something by now. But there is no way you'll be able to forget about it right now. I really don't know what you should do Gid." I say, speaking into my hands.

Ian! What have you done?! What the fuck did you do?!
His throat. I slit it.
You're sick, Ian! You're fucking sick. Get out! Get out of here right now!
"I don't really...understand, almost. He was...different when he told me what he did. He was shaking, and he looked sick...sickened, but not like he regretted it. Or that he felt guilty at all. Just...that it was something that was done and like he wished there wasn't so much blood...it wasn't him anymore. And what happens...what happens now? Who's going to be the next order for him? You think he'll hesitate if it's one of our names that come out of the hat? What if it's Maddie, he's told to go after? He looked he would...it was...it was fucking scary." I say softly.

"Oh god-...I think i'm going to be sick." I say as what he says sinks in, i felt terrified. Scared that Gid was right, that it could Maddie, or Gid, or me that was next on the list. But not as scared as i was that it could be the list of one of someone i thought was my friend. "I don't-...how could he-...did he not feel anything. Did he not feel the slightest bit guilty at the fact that he had just taken someones life?"

"I don't-...I don't know. He didn't-...look it. Almost like there was no one home anymore. You know, when someone's eyes are completely...dull, empty...like that. He was there and he could hardly walk straight, and there was blood everywhere, and his hands were shaking so bad...I asked him what had happened...and he wasn't really making sense...just the odd word...the forest, and Watkins, and burning, and I asked again and he just said...no emotion at all, 'His throat. I slit it.' Then I yelled at him to get out." I say, eyes finding the floor.

I stay silent for a while, trying to get rid of the sick feeling in my stomach.
"Have you seen him since?" I ask softly, trying not to let my voice betray how scared i was feeling.

I shake my head again. "Maddie hasn't seen him since they broke up. I haven't seen him since then. Claire and Matt and Erin are all drawing blanks. Unless you've seen him in the last couple of days...no."

"He wasn't...I guess, Erin's death fucked him up pretty bad...he was looking for 'revenge' for ages, and then just dropped it for no reason. I don't understand what revenge you can take for a suicide, but...I don't know. He's just-...cracked." I say, feeling stupid for even half-defending him.

"I don't know...he's been looking through all these files on Heightington...he never even met Heightington...but he's got it into his head that some dead guy did something to Erin to make her kill herself and...I don't know."

I freeze at the name and gulp. "Heightington's not dead." I say, barely more than a whisper.

"He's not...he's not de-...he's not dead?" I repeat quietly.

I barely resist the urge to stand up, She was crying, Gid. Fucking crying. He did something to her. She couldn't speak she was crying so hard.
Ian, man, I know you're cut up about this, but Heightington's dead...I don't know...
Precisely, you don't know. You don't know a fucking thing about it. She's dead because of him. Because he did something to her...
"How do you know?" I say hoarsely.

"He-...he cornered me in the owlery and said-...he told me-..." I stop and try to pull myself together, but it doesn't work. "He's killed him Gid-...he killed Mattie." I sob, burying my face in my hands, not wanting Gid see me fall to pieces.

I feel a lump stick in my throat, then put my arms round her, holding her close, "Oh Isa..." I say sadly.

"I never even got to say goodbye Gid." I choke out, crying against his chest. "My big brother Gid, he's gone."

I thumb her tears away gently, unable to imagine how it must feel to lose a brother, feeling ill at the thought, "Isa..." I say softly, not sure what to say.

"But when's all this going to stop." I say softly, brushing away the last of my tears, blocking the pain. "Who will it be next?"

"Not you, and not me." I say firmly, "We're always going to be here, promise."
