Chapter: Chapter 134{10 years later}I stood on the beach watching Katherine pose for prom photos with her boyfriend. Van took pictures as her violet dress billowed behind her. She had her dark hair swept into an updo with a diamond clip."We should go, Dad," Katherine suggested. She had started calling Van dad when she was fourteen as that is what he was to her."All right, but be back by curfew," he cautioned as she sighed. I felt tears spring to my eyes as they walked up the beach to the limo."She's maturing," I observed as Van wrapped his arm around my waist."I know," he said calmly as I turned to face him."She graduates in May and is moving across the country to attend college in Florida," I explained, wishing she didn't have to leave us."We can pay you a visit at any time. If you need to see her, I'll teleport us there "Van smiled as I turned to face him. As I looked into his kind eyes, his arms rested on my hips."You're too nice to me," I said, pulling my lips together."I owe you everything,

Chapter: Chapter 133I looked at my arm finding a gash that sent blood dripping down my arm."Stay away from her Eric," Van ordered as he tried to hit me with his power. I rolled out of the way quickly. I watched as Van hit Eric with a burst of his magic. Eric hit the pillar wincing before pulling a knife crafted from dark magic not just dark but ancient magic. If that knife so much as touched Van he would be dead. I got to my feet waiting for the moment when I could pull the knife from his hands."She belongs with me. You are immortal while she is not," Eric said motioning to my cut. I may not have powers anymore but I knew there were ways of using protection spells without it. I knelt down drawing a magical seal on the floor in blood that would deactivate the knife if he crossed it. I pulled Van behind the seal praying Eric was dumb enough not to notice."Laura," Van muttered as the room started to spin. He grabbed me his magic healing my arm. "You were about to pass out.""I'm fine," I snapped as Eric

Chapter: Chapter 132I locked my gaze on Greg as he looked at me."Leave immediately," I yelled as he laughed."No, this isn't your palace, and you can't just make me leave," he snapped as the woman approached him."Leave or we'll make you," she said flatly, leaving no room for argument. My heart was broken, but Greg had somehow made it worse. Greg glared at me as tears spilled down my cheeks before he finally walked away."Mom," Katherine said as she approached me. She encircled me in an attempt to comfort me. I gave her a sad look before walking away to find Scott. I sat next to him as he continued to play."I wish you were here, Van. We were supposed to be together forever, with children and joy. I didn't realize I wasn't happy until I met you" I whispered."Brie," said the woman from the doorway. I rose to my feet and began walking toward her."Certainly," I replied as she handed me an old book."I think this will help," she said as she dashed away. My heart stopped as I opened the book. There might b

Chapter: Chapter 131As everything became clear, I looked at Ryan. He was a Revenant, and his only goal was to kill me in any way he could. I was a little confused why he tried to save me when I was fighting Martin."Ryan," I said softly as he approached me. As he approached me, his eyes glowed yellow."Hold still," he smiled blood dripping from his mouth. My scream was muffled by my covering my mouth."Ryan, stop," I said, but he ignored me as he grabbed my wrist and yanked me toward him. As he bit into my wrist, I winced."Exactly what I needed," he laughed as he looked at me. I wasn't going to scream because it would be pointless."Let me go," I demanded angrily, but he shook his head."Only your life can sustain me," he said, as I felt my free hand move as if it was aware of what it was doing. As I touched his cheek, a small white light appeared on my fingertips. He cried out in agony and dropped my hand. As my lips parted slightly, he turned away, covering his face. Did I just hurt him? As the light

Chapter: Chapter 130"You belong in a cage, Little Bird," Martin smirked as my magic began to work. I wasn't going to hide my strength this time. I don't care who is injured this time."I'm going to give you three seconds to beg for your life before I show you who I really am," I said sternly."Just as you are beyond some people's magic I am beyond yours," he said before launching me over the side of the balcony. I called my magic toward me slowing my fall. I landed on the ground and released the power, which I directed at Martin. As he avoided the magic, the stone railing shattered."Who's afraid of a little magic?" I mocked as he glared at me. He jumped over the side landing a few feet from me."Are you sure?" He challenged me to use the darkest aspect of his power on me. As pain radiated through my body, I gasped but refused to cry out. As Van's magic touched my hand, I heard a familiar hum. Van seemed to be directing me. As a light shot out of my hand, it flew into Martin. He crashed through the wall

Chapter: Chapter 129"Laura," Van said as he took my hand in his. My heart was reaching for him as I looked up at him. He drew me to my feet, kissing my cheek."I'm sorry," I sobbed, tears streaming down my ghostly cheeks. He shook his head holding tightly to my hand."Laura you have nothing to be sorry for. You couldn't possibly have known, "Van stated emphatically."I missed you," I said, pressing my lips to his. A warm glow enveloped me, followed by the hum of magic. I knew he was slipping away from me. "No, I don't want to abandon you!""You have to for our child and the twins," Van said as he faded from sight...My eyes popped open as I blasted Elle away from me. Her eyes widened in surprise."There's no way; you didn't even have a heartbeat!" She yelled angrily. I stepped forward, knocking Ryan across the room. Ryan wanted his children, which is why the twins were brought here. I couldn't help but wonder how Elle managed to resurrect him."If you had a family, you'd know that death isn't forever," I
