Quinn steps through the portal into the monastary home she shares with Pen... had shared...
A sob tears from her lips and she throws herself onto her bed. Never again... NEVER AGAIN! Tristian will never have me! Her whole body shudders violently and Misery curls herself into a defensive ball. The empty house is silent and dark, moonlight twisting the shadows in Quinn and Pen's bedchambers.
Cruelly the scene replays its self over and over in an endless loop in her mind. Tristian whisks Pen and herself away from the Inn... The new man, Sim Torin, comes and fights Tristian... Pens soul is ripped from her own... Sobs wrack her lithe frame and she clutches her mothers necklace at her throat, rocking back and forth.
Pen fights Tristian... then something terrible... something... vile forcing her weak bond with Tristian to grow and deepen... The taint of this bond drives her insane... Quinn begins ripping at her face, her chest, her clothes, trying to get away from this new evil...
Unconciously Misery fingers the deep scratches on her face and down her neck... tears still flow freely, her once light-green tinged eyes returned to their origional faded blue. Her hearts love, a void in her soul where Pen used to be... on the verge of giving up and letting Tristian take her... and all of a sudden the vile bond with her husband is gone. A scream in her soul... Pen, screams to her he loves her... An explosion... Pen is gone, Tristian is gone... Black mist... Tristian is alive again... Pen doesnt come back.
"He died for me again... again... How many times will I kill those I love? First my father, now Pen... Pen twice... Who is next?" Misery Quinn continues sobbing wildly, her heart riddled with pain.
And on through the night, Miserys screams of mourning and loss echo in the empty rooms of her empty home.
