"She stared at another dart in her hand. She could see it clearly. Too clearly. The end finished in feathers, tiny strands of thread tying them to the shaft in intricate knotwork. She reached out with her other hand - huge and fumbling - and tugged it out. It was topped with a tiny, perfectly formed flint arrowhead. Her own blood glistened on it, and on her skin a red pearl formed around the wound."

She was such a fool. Such an idiot. How could she have even dreamed that someone … something like Jack … How could she have allowed herself to feel anything at all? No heart, Puck had said, and like a fool she had tried to give him one. Because she knew that feeling - like being broken inside - and she'd want to … to fix him, even if she couldn't fix herself. She'd wanted to feel something.
