When her arm was grabbed and she was turned to face the man she had just chosen Silver simply breathed, her body numb to anymore emotion. With a warm everlasting embrace accompanied by a passionate kiss that any other time would have taken her breath away she was silent, her lips barely moving to match his. Yes she loved him, she did not regret her choice, but that did not change how broken her heart was right now. It was like watching Jacobi die all over again, except this time she was in her right mind and she was truly the cause.
Closing her eyes in an attempt to stop the dead tears falling from her eyes she listened to Aeizith's plea to let him stay, his only response from her being a nod before she pulled herself away ignoring any other attempt to get her attention in that moment. "I just need to be alone. Watch Amber for me please." and then she was inside the house, making her way up the stairs to their bedroom. As soon as she crossed the threshold into the room she shut the door behind her, sliding her body down the door as she sank to the floor her figure wedged to keep anyone from opening it.
And then the sobbing continued, but it was not loud like before. Her face merely twisted with emotion as she started grasping at her chest almost wishing she could just rip her heart out of her chest to make the pain go away. The pain she felt was far worse than anything she thought possible. No amount of torture could even compare to what she was feeling now. Silver could feel the weight of her daggers, each on still in its place on a hip. Frantically even though she was still against the door she ripped each one from its holster before throwing them across the room, the pointed ends not even sticking into the wall but falling to the floor in a clank. She didn't deserve them, not after losing him a second time.
She could remember the day he gave them to her, an upgrade to the ones she had been using. They were so beautiful glimmering in the light of the moon when he presented them wrapped in a leather cloth. He had told her they were exactly what she was... enchanted Silver. Lifting a hand she slapped it on the ground trying to push away the memory, wanting to shed it like anything else she had left of him. Silver slapped her palm on the floor a few more times until she could feel the sting in her hands, before curling her fingers in and bringing them to her face.
Her body continued to wretch in pain, Silver tying to wipe the tears away with balled fists only for more to form in seconds. Opening her mouth she screamed, but no noise would come out, almost like someone who had just been stabbed in the stomach or chest, an impulsive reflex of muscles responding to the fatal blow. And in an instant it all stopped, the tears, her muscles tensing from agony. Her hands fell limp to her sides and her head bobbed down, bits of her silver hair shifting on her shoulders and down over her face. From a distance she almost looked dead, her body on the floor and back against the door, but her shoulders and head slumped over.
Fingers twitching first, then her arm... slowly each of her limbs seemed to flex before she slowly raised her head, her sights set on the window outside. It was still pretty early in the day, not even quite noon yet and the sun was shining perfectly into the window in their bedroom. With each blink it seemed another tear streamed down her cheek, remnants of those created from her breakdown moments ago. But with each passing second Silver seemed to recover a bit as her eyes were locked on the sun beyond the glass. Her body would remain like this for hours, her gaze stuck on the orbiting light and every once in a while a tear streaming down her cheek. If anyone were to come and knock she would simply ignore it, no response for anyone. Her body would remain wedged at the base of the door, refusing to respond to anything.

Amber stood shocked when all her mother did was pat her on the head before walking past Aeizith, only to pause to say something she couldn't quite make out. Whatever it was clearly had an effect on Aeizith though as he grabbed her mother and held her tightly before kissing her, apparently forgetting about the six year old standing right there. But her mother pulled out of the embrace and whispered something more, but this time the little girl could at least make out her name. And in the blink of an eye her mother had gone inside the house, something clearly very wrong. She could feel the cold rising now...
So confused Amber then locked her eyes on Aeizith, still having no idea what really had just transpired. "Aeizy..." her voice shaky and timid, afraid to upset him. By now up to her knees was cold, something she never had experienced before. Amber had always been resistant to temperature changes, her body acclimated quickly to them. So what was this feeling at her feet? Looking down her eyes trailed her boots and she noticed where they were normally brown they were white and pearlescent. She didn't even realize it but she had frozen them solid, her feet stuck inside of them. Frost seemed to cling to her leggings as well, slowly trickling up her legs and branching out.
Immediately when she realized what was happening she could feel the panic rising in her chest, and as the panic rose so did the ice now encasing her legs. ".... help" Her eyes now back on Aeizith and afraid, not able to control what was happening to her.
