"Where did you get that?!" Marcie burst out. She at reacted primarily out of self defense at seeing Apollo so close to her so unexpectedly, and now she was filled with horror that her spontaneous action had put Tragos in danger. "No, don't hurt him! What is happening??" and as much as she didn't want Apollo to see her cry, she burst into tears, so overwhelmed by what was going on.
She had been dead. She had been so close to death, and now she was awake and alive and not in any pain. She put a hand to her stomach as she turned towards Aphrodite for comfort, the relief washing through her so much it made her feel weak. Or perhaps, that was just from the weight loss and the not eating.
