Chapter 23

• Theo and I spend the whole day at the pond. Theo did not enter back into the lake after he almost marked me. I wanted to ask Ekaterina why she stopped Theo from marking me, but I have not seen her since that time.
• "I think I am feeling better now. Please could you turn away" Once he turns away, I step out of the water. Even though we were half-naked together under the water a few hours ago. I am still not comfortable being seen by Theo only in my underwear.
• My throat does not feel sore anymore, and it does not hurt to talk. My body temperature has gone down. I also don't feel weak. I am sure it's because of the spells Ekaterina casted into the water. They must have helped me recover. I dry myself with the hand towel I packed from home. Theo brought it for me.
