laugh to myself. I’ve never laughed like this, and I never felt this happy in my life. I wonder where I am. Is this heaven? Am I finally dead? If so, this is the best feeling ever; I don’t want to go back. Yes, I will miss Kaleigh and Cameron, but I am finally away from all that darkness that was my own life. I lay there with my eyes closed as I watch the sun go away. I open my eyes to see the most beautiful blue eyes and the sexiest smile.
“Cameron, how did you find me?”
He sits next to me and looks at me. “This is all you, Sweetheart. You are seeing what our future could be like. Happiness with no hurt, no pain. Just happiness.”
I take his hand into mine. “Cameron, this is what I want. Look, I am finally smiling,” I say to him as I point at my smile in a cheesy, obvious way, “I have never smiled before in my life. Look what you do to me. But I know this could never happen. My destiny is to die at the hands of my insane mother.”
He sighs. “You can change that, Babe. We can have all this.” He looks around and then looks back into my eyes. He takes his hands to place them on both my cheeks. He leans in and kisses my forehead, then my nose, my chin, and finally, my lips. I return the kiss, and I put my hands in his hair. He pulls me on top of him, and we both laugh.
“Cam, I will try my hardest so we can have all of this. You are the only person I have ever loved. But I think I will fail. Amelia is stronger than me. I don’t think I can win this battle.” I stand up to walk away. He runs to catch me and holds me. His arms wrap around me from behind.
“Delia, stop running away from me. Can’t you see that I love you and that I will die protecting you?”
I close my eyes and tears run down my cheeks. “Cam, you are asking so much from me. I don’t think I am strong enough. I am just a broken girl that has no idea what is going on.”
“Stop. I have faith in you, my beautiful angel… slash witch.” We both laugh. Then the skies become dark and it starts to storm. Cam was losing his grip on me.
“Hold on, Cam! Don’t let go! I love you.”
My eyes fly open. I am confused as to what just happened. I didn’t want to alarm anyone, though, so I stay quiet. That is my secret, and I wonder if that is another one of my powers. The doors open, snapped me out of my daydream. I get a good look at who enters. It is about five old guys, and they have on these weird, white robes. The robes have this weird symbol on them. I can’t make them out, but I know it must be significant.
Zane comes in behind them, along with a young woman with fire read hair; who was probably another vampire. Lastly, Amelia, Abem, and Kale walk in, whispering to each other.
Amelia speaks up. “We shall wait for the werewolves; they are in White City catching fairies. We need them for the ritual.”
I want to get off this table and slap the shit out of Kale. Then my heart s inks, like it is breaking in half. Oh. My. Goodness. Kale feels bad for his betrayal. I don’t know how I know this, but I remember reading about people who were empaths and I think I may be one as well; I can feel his remorse. I wonder how many more powers will present themselves. “Amelia, the wolves are returning; it is almost time for you to rule Ithaca,” One of The Old Ones says.
“Good; I’ve waited almost 18 years for this.”
