Dianite's Pov

I teleport to Alyssa who is at the docks. "Alyssa you needed me?" The second I finish my sentence she's in my arms crying.

"What's wrong kiddo?" I ask her as she pulls away. Alyssa sighs and pulls back her hair.

Large handprint bruises are on her neck. "It wasn't the first time." Alyssa sounds like she's loosing her sanity.

"He did more than hit me. He abused me in every way possible."

"She's lying! I never, nor would I ever, lay a finger on her." Jerriah manipulates, but Alyssa's pleading eyes tell a different story.

"Y-you're not?" Jerriah asks. "Leave. Get as far away from me and my family as you can." I order. "Y-yessir." Jerriah mumbles and turns to leave.

"JERRIAH WAIT!" I yell before running to him. He's crying. I hug him for what I fear is gonna be the last time.

"Alyssa look at me." Jerriah orders and I obey. "You deserve so much better than me. I'm no man and I'm certainly no hero. You raise our kid to be the exact opposite of me." As I begin to break down he hugs me again.

"You're a crazy strong girl Lyssa. Times are about to get real rough for both of us." He pauses and pulls away again.

"I meant to give you this before....you know." He says and pulls out a gold bracelet with a heart that clips it together. I notice he's wearing one that's similar but more masculine.
