LOGINAvery's Point Of View Her words hit harder than any physical blow, making my chest tighten painfully.Images I could barely remember flashed through my mind, faces I wasn't sure were real anymore, voices that sounded so distant.Fragments of life I had been chasing all my life but seemed so far out of reach.Angie shifted slightly, her lips moving as she stood behind Maya, as if she wanted to speak, but she just pressed her lips together and kept her head down.“I've waited too long for things to go back to the way they should be. I won't wait any longer,” Maya said calmly, taking another step towards me.Amos angled his body to cover me fully, his grip on my hand tightening.“You don't need her for your victory, Maya; you never did,” He said through clenched teeth, his eyes fixed on her.Maya's smile faded as she finally turned to look at Amos.“This was never about Victory; it's about balance,” She replied sharply, her face hardening.The air around her seemed to darken a bit, th
Avery’s Point Of View The silence after his words was never just silence; it rang in my ears like thunder.“Your parents are alive.” Those words shook me to my core.The words refused to settle inside me; they kept spinning, refusing to become real.I stared at Amos, waiting for the punchline, waiting for him to take it back, to tell me it was just another lie to keep me going.But his eyes didn't change; he stayed at me with a certain heavy expression that made my chest clench.An exhaustion swallowed his entire face.“N…no…that's not true,” I whispered, my voice coming out unsteady.“No…” I whispered again, weaker this timeAmos tried to shift toward me, but the pain dragged him back down; his hand was still pressed to his blood-soaked side.“I wouldn't lie about something like this,” he said quietly, his eyes fixed on mine.“I…I remember…” I stammered, my eyes tearing up.“You remember what they allowed you to remember, Avery,” He said quietly, a painful expression passing his face
Avery's Point Of View “You shouldn't have come here,” he whispered weakly, his eyes barely open.“What do you mean?” I asked confusedly, my mind in shambles.I had been looking for Amos the whole time; he even called out to me in my dreams.I didn't understand why he was driving me away now.I waited for a response, for him to say something that made sense at least, but he didn't speak.I tried to touch him, but he pulled away like I had some contagious virus.My heart was shattered, my mind in shambles, and I didn't know what to think or believe.“Don't waste your life-source on me,” he finally said calmly, his eyes distant.He didn't look shocked that I could heal him; he already knew.“You knew who I was and my destiny, didn't you?” I asked calmly, hoping he would prove me wrong.“Yes,” he said dryly, his eyes looking everywhere but at me.I wanted to scream about his betrayal, hit him, do something to let out the pain and anger I was feeling. But just then, we heard something e
Avery's Point Of View “That's his blood,” I said calmly, my eye steady on the ground.“Are you sure?” Angie asked silently, her eyes fixed on me.I didn't respond to her; I didn't have to because the men ran in front of us, following the trail I had given them.Walking behind were Angie and Quinn, staying awkwardly by my side.“Avery, I'm sorry about lashing out,” Angie finally said, her voice coming out as a whisper.“No, you are not,” I responded firmly, increasing my pace.I was done with the excuses and her unnecessary apologies.“No, please…wait,” she called after me, but Quinn held her back.I was more concerned about the fact that Amos was actually nowhere to be found than all her stupidity.I was sending them on a wild goose chase because I suspected that they weren’t good people, and the reason they wanted to find Amos wasn't an honest one either.I had to keep them distracted while I formulated a real plan.Night came quickly, and we eventually had to stop at a nearby cave
Avery’s Point Of View“He is here somewhere, I am sure of it,” I said confidently, as we searched through the forest.We had been searching for three days with no sign of Amos, and the men with us had started to become tired.I had trailed his scent for days and ended up on two different wild goose chases, but I was sure this time.It was as if Amos had intentionally made it very difficult to find him, and it was making me lose my mind.“Cover the entire area,” Quinn ordered anxiously, running his hand through his hair.The day before, he had been spiralling, imagining the worst when another day had passed without finding Amos.It took Angie and a lot of effort to calm him down.Both he and Angie carried a strange sense of guilt, blaming themselves for everything that had happened so far.A part of me wanted to comfort them and tell them it wasn't their fault, but I wasn't delusional; it was partly their fault, and that couldn't be denied.If they hadn't sided with the enemies thing w
Amos' Point Of View Seize him!” A woman ordered again, as the men began to close in on me.I looked around me, and I was grossly outnumbered.I didn't know whether to run or fight; I didn't even know if escape was possible.“What do you want from me?” I asked calmly, looking at the woman who seemed to be their ring leader.As if I didn't know what all of this was about.“You hold the second key,” she said flatly, looking bored.“Hand it over and go your way,” she said quietly, stretching her hand towards me.“You think if I really did, you would be able to catch me?” I asked calmly, unfazed by her offer.Something flashed in her eyes, a look of uncertainty; it happened so fast I almost missed it.I took a deep breath. I still had hopes of turning things around.“What do you mean?” She asked curiously, looking confused.My assumption was right; she didn't know what the key looked like.Maya had made the mistake of sending her out blindly, a mistake that would cost her.“You don't know
Avery's Point of View “There is no use fighting this, it's her destiny!” The seer’s words echoed in my mind again. Goosebumps covered my entire body, and I began to shake in genuine fear. I wanted to leave that place, run as fast and as far away from this mess as I could, but my legs didn't m
Avery's POV “Miss!” Martha screamed in panic, banging the door continuously. “Miss! Please open up. You are scaring me,” Martha confessed exhaustedly, as she continued to bang on the door. I had been quiet for a long time because I didn't know how my voice would sound if I spoke up. “I am fine
Amos’ POV “I watched her walk away, I watched her leave me,” I mumbled as I ran my hand through my hair. I could never forget that day, it was crystallized in my mind. I remembered standing just behind her and watching her walk towards the train, I wanted to stop her, to hold her and tell her I beli
Avery's POV “What do you mean Ma?” I said taking the towel from her and covering myself with it, did she see me when I transformed? I looked at her in confusion, I was sure I had heard wrongly, did she just ask me to be her daughter? She was advanced in age and her husband too so I supposed they a
