Chapter 31

Meanwhile, Mal was checking all over Carlos. "Mal, I'm fine." He said. Mal glared at him "You wouldn't be here if you were." She tells him. Carlos holds
her hands "Baby, I'm telling you, I'm fine." He tells her. Jay walked into the room as well "I told you, he's fine." He said. Mal wouldn't have it, she continued to
check Carlos "You don't just collapse, Jay." She said. She puts his hand over his head "You're cold." She said. Carlos shrugged "It's pretty cold in the castle,
what did you expect?" He asked her. Mal glared at him "Sorry." Carlos said. When Mal finished she sighs "I don't see anything, he seems to be fine-" "I told you." Jay said cutting her off. Mal looked into
Carlos's eyes "Whatever happened that night in the forest it's affecting you now." She said. Carlos holds one of her hands "Nothing special happened that night. Please, don't worry about me. I probably just have to eat something." He tells her.
Mal shook her head "I don't think that's it." She tells him. She then noticed something on his neck "Puppy, what's this?" She asked him. He raised his eyebrow
"What's what?" He asked her. She glances over her shoulder "Evie, mirror." She said. The blue-haired girl handed her the mirror her mother had given to her
a long time ago. Mal showed Carlos the red marks on his neck. Carlos looked back up at Mal "What about it?" He asked her. Mal handed Evie the mirror
"Carlos, what are those? Did something happen?" She asked him. Carlos shook his head "No." He lied. He couldn't tell Mal what really happened. She would freak out. His mother lost control and strangled him. Carlos was just trying to have a normal conversation with her,
but for some reason, she snapped. Mal glared at him "Then why is it there?" She asked him. Carlos shrugged "Melanie? Dude? You?" he smirked.
Mal was not in the mood for jokes "What are you hiding?" Mal asked Carlos. The white-haired boy glanced at her "I'm not hiding anything." He tells her. Jay and Evie left the room. Mal sat on the bed next to him "Carlos-" "I'm not hiding anything." He said. Mal sighs "I am really worried about you. I've never seen those marks before and neither Melanie nor Dude.
Did something happen between you and Uma?" She asked. He shook his head "No." "Then what happened. Don't try to hide things from me." She said. Carlos groaned
"I'm not hiding anything." He lied. He holds one of her hands again "I promise, I'm fine." He tells her. Mal stood up "If you say so." She said, "Have you seen Melanie?
I haven't seen her today." She tells him. Carlos shook his head "No I haven't seen her. Maybe she's running through the forest again." He said. Mal shook her head "No, Harry just came back from the forest and he said that there was no one there but him." She said. Carlos carefully stood up "Maybe she's with Gaye at Dragon Hall?" He said.
Mal shook her head "She doesn't want to go there unless one of us goes with her. Even if Uma went with her she wouldn't want to go." Mal reminded him. Carlos sighs "Then I don't know." He said. Mal groans "Melanie!" She screamed. Carlos glanced at her
"If she's outside she won't hear you." He said. Mal glared at him "If she isn't outside than she will." She said. The bedroom door opened slightly "Mommy?" Melanie's head
appeared behind the door. Mal noticed that her daughter's eyes were red and puffy. She kneeled down "Have you been crying?" she asked the little girl. Melanie ran into her mother's arms and cried into the crook of her neck "Auntie Uma's gone." She sobs.
Mal rubbed her back slowly "She'll come back, Mel." She tells her. Melanie glanced at her mother "Mommy I miss Auntie Uma." She said. Mal pressed her forehead against Melanie's "I get it, but she will come back, Mel. Don't worry about her, Auntie Uma can take care of herself." She said. Melanie sighs and hugs her dalmatian plushie "You think so?" Melanie asked.
Mal nodded "I promise." She said.
