Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 90
"Holy shi.t." Kiran whispered, his chin resting on the nape of my neck as we both looked down at my phone. Rain (Call for help): We found your parents. They said they felt you when you called on their shadows? They told my daughter they wouldn't have believed her if they hadn't felt that. They are desperate to meet you. When can you go?"What should I say?" I asked him with my hands shaking. Percy had stayed the night and he was sleeping outside on the couch. I want them all there when I meet my parents, but maybe that's too much for a first time meeting. Maybe it should be just me. "Tell her-" Kiran was cut off by our door slamming open. Percy looked at me like he'd seen a ghost. He fell to his knees at the doorway and Kiran and I looked at him shocked for a moment. "Percy?" I got off the bed, running towards him. "Is he okay?" Kiran asked, coming up behind me. "What happened?" "I guess I had a nightmare, but I thought it was a vision. I was so sure you were about to be killed.
Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 91
A fu.cking angel, from the heavens with wings and all, landed before Ember. He picked Gabriel up and kissed Ember so passionately that even I felt the love. I took a step back completely shaken by the random act. The angel had curly brown hair like the boy and the same chocolate eyes. So is this her other mate then? "Mi amor, I'll take them the rest of the way. You go back with Gabriel. Ash is a blubbering mess, no one can understand him through his happy tears. Maybe your twiness can translate." The angel laughed. "Are you sure?" Ember asked him and he nodded. "Okay, I'll see you at home then. Does Dex still have Nova?" "Of course not. She's in the same crib as Andy. Ash is determined to make them close cousins." The angel laughed again. What is this a fu.cking Hallmark movie? "Thank you." Ember kissed him and I literally couldn't watch anymore. It was too sweet for my hardened heart. "It was nice to meet you all." She then grabbed Gabriel and flew up in the air with no wings, m

"Tell me you're not at the colony." Dad spoke low. "I was forced to be. I am being forced to move in on Saturday. The ceremony to find my shadow weaver match will be held Friday. It's a long story, but pretty much I knew nothing about being a shadow weaver. I met one during a mission for the man who held us captive. He helped me learn to control my shadow better and taught me about the shadow colonies. He told the elders about me which led them to want to meet me.That's when we all found out I was a Watts. They helped free me from the man, but apparently it came at a cost." I explained as quickly as I could. The windows in the house shattered all around us. The air chilled by like 10 degrees and my father looked like he was draped in a cloak of shadows. The anger in him had the hairs on my arm standing straight. "I'll kill Isaac now." Dad growled. "Ezekiel, you know we can't. If we are wrong we will be sentenced to death for killing an elder. Even if we are correct, he will just e

It's Wednesday now and it feels like Friday is approaching a lot faster than I would like it to. After training today I want to help Kiran find his dad. I feel like that would be a one day thing. I would like to help Percy find his parents before I have to move, but I don't think that will be possible. His parents will be harder to find due to their circumstances. Plus, when we do find them we'll have to come up with a plan to set them free. It's definitely, at minimum, a 3 day job. I am, for now, trying to have them found. We have been scouring the internet for flyers or whispers of a seer show. We've looked on supernatural social media and human social media alike, but so far have come up empty. They were last seen in Illinois a month ago, but nothing has popped up since then. I doubt they are still there. "Good morning, beautiful." Kiran stepped into the bedroom with a tray full of food. "Breakfast in bed today." I smiled, falling even more in love with this man. How is that eve

I followed him through the trees to a small clearing filled with shade and spots of sunshine. The shade provided a reprieve from the hot sun. It was secluded here and the trees were so thick that it was hard to get a good look between them. "You ready?" He asked me and I gave him a puzzled look. "To learn how we use the shadows for recon missions." "I mean I've been doing it all my life, but sure tell me how you do it then." I shook my head, annoyed at this. Ed just gave me an amused smirk before holding his hands out towards me. I arched an eyebrow at him, staring at his hands suspiciously. Does he expect me to grab them?"Well come on, grab my hands so I can show you how to hide amongst the shadows." He shook his hands in front of me and I crossed my arms. "I already know how to do that." I snarked. "While moving?" He raised his brow. "No." I muttered, not liking that I'm proving him right. I've only ever hidden myself or others while we were still. I've never hidden something

Kiran's P.O.V.The day always seems to drag when Zerena is gone. I had already turned in my uniform to the gas station to a surprisingly very sad River. I think what Tate said about her having a crush on me may have been true. Although I don't want to sound arrogant in saying that. She did, however; all but flat out admitted it as I was leaving. I told her I was happily taken and she whimpered away like a dog. I was heading out to the garage when Betty decided she wanted to kick the bucket. She freaking caught fire! Honestly it's the only way I would have let her go willingly. There's no saving that engine now. Goodbye Betty. I feel like I am dying out here in this heat waiting on Tate to come get me. It's embarrassing as hell too. I hate having to admit that he was right about me needing a new car. I wasn't ready to let Betty go yet, but I guess it's time. I saw Tate's car rushing towards me in the distance. I know that when I get a new car I want a classic. Something clean and sm

Zerena's P.O.V."Stay quiet and stay close." Ed whispered to me as we creeped along the building. "I'll cloak us both with my shadow so we can see each other, but no one else will be able to." I nodded my head, feeling his shadow drape over me in a tight embrace. He kept it firmly in place over me even as we moved through the building. It was cold and damp inside. This wasn't the same place I had gone to before, when I had gotten Zion. It was another abandoned warehouse in a different state.The warehouse was large, and of course the floor we entered just looked like an average abandoned building. A thick layer of dust lay over everything with various random items left behind on shelves. It was badly illuminated, smelling of mildew. We made our way to the elevator and waited for someone to climb in so we could follow. Similar to the warehouse I had been to, this one had a collard woman working the elevator. She pressed 3 bottoms and we began to descend down a few floors. We stepped

I focused on Josiah through the bond and let my guard down. I let the memories of Alster and his experiments flash across. I showed him everything that was done to me and to the others. I showed him the missions we would go on. I showed him the falling out we all had when we grew distant with one another. The bitter loneliness I felt at that time. I showed him meeting Kiran. Reconciling with everyone and coming together to kill Alester. I left out a lot of Everett stuff, not wanting to show him something he shouldn't see. I showed him that dreadful day that Alester injected me with that purple goo. I didn't get graphic, but I let myself and him feel everything I felt that night. The worst night of my life. I felt him also wince at it, and when I finally stopped showing him everything it was silent…so very silent. He stared at me like he'd never seen me before. He looked at me like I was a great marvel of the world. He held a deep sympathy for me, but I saw the anger within him. The

I traveled to the spot in the yard, not believing my eyes from that distance. I approached the figure in the moonlight cautiously. He turned when he heard me step on a twig. That long black hair and dark eyes met mine. He smiled widely at me, swooning my heart the way he use to. “Percy?” I cried. “Hey, Zae.” “You as.shole.” I went to punch him but my hand went right through him. He laughed at me. “I figured you’d try to hit me. Sorry I don’t have a body anymore to hit.” He shook his head at me. “I’m sorry, Zae.” “You should be. You have no idea how much this has hurt. Damit Perc, you should have told me. I would have stopped it!” I yelled at him, tears flowing out of me like a waterfall. “You couldn’t have. Trust me, I didn’t want to leave our Ares, but it was the only way.” He sighed. His transparent hand reached for my face. I could feel him the same way I feel the air across my cheek. “Our Ares could really use a visit from you.” I told him. “I only have one more of

8 years later“Happy birthday Ares!” We all yelled, trying to surprise him, but who were we kidding he already knew.“I knew you wouldn’t forget.” He smiled at us all. “Auggie said everyone had forgotten about my birthday and that’s why no one had said it to me yet.”“Augustus Daimen Barlowe! Did you really tell your brother that?” Kiran scolded him.“I thought if he believed it he would actually be surprised.” Augustus explained.“I’ll talk to him, keep the party going.” Kiran told me, kissing my temple, before pointing to the door to let Augusutus know to walk out.I hugged Ares, holding him tightly for a long moment before he complained.“Mom.”“Sorry

Topher had already finished here. He was wrapping the elders up. We don’t plan on killing them or imprisoning them. They just won’t be in power anymore. I know they won’t like it, but with only a few elders they won’t be able to go against a whole army. We’ll be changing a lot around here, starting with the parties and classist shi.t. Obviously the higher class will hate it, but since they are few, I’m not worried about it. “Everything go well in the North?” Topher asked me, wrapping his arm around my waist and kissing my temple. “Easy as pie.” I assured him. “Yeah, especially after she went all devil on us.” Isaiah smirked. “You did?” Topher asked, obviously not liking the fact. He didn’t like me using that side of myself much. “Yes, just for a little while. I’m fine, don’t worry.” I assured him. He looked at me for a while, assessing me, before nodding his head. He kissed my forehead now, letting his lips linger there. He let his arm wrap around me further, until his hand

2 months later.“It’s gotta be simultaneous.” I told them all, through a mass shadow message. I stared down the elder’s building with group 1 at my side. I decided to take down the north elders, while Topher led the west rebellion group. We had a good amount of people with us in each colony.Our civil war begins. Only it won’t be a war, it’ll be one battle, and we will come out victorious.‘We’re ready in the south.’ Felix, the leader of the south, responded with his own shadow message.‘Say the word and we’ll attack.’ Helena from the East sounded ready to b

It’s been a month now since the battle with Alester. Percy’s funeral hit me hard, breaking me further. I almost couldn’t bring myself to go. Kiran and Topher dragged my as.s there, not giving me a choice in the matter. I saw Allie, her beautiful innocent eyes were puffy from all the crying. She admitted to me that she knew what was going to happen. She told me Percy had asked her not to tell anyone, and that he had set things up for Ares. Apparently Electra had been helping him see into the future. She admitted that she would be joining him soon too. It was almost poetic…almost. It’s so damn heart breaking. I am not sure there is a heart left in me. It feels so hollow in my chest, like it’s run away, unable to take the pain anymore. The only times I felt a remnant of it, were when I was with August or Ares, or when I’d look at Jesse’s ultrasound. She’s not shadow kissed like Augustus. She’s like Ares, in my normal womb. Topher and Kiran did their best at trying to cheer me up, or a

Zerena’s P.O.V.No! God No!Percy’s lifeless body laid at Alester’s feet, his eyes open, staring at Ares. I kept waiting to see him heal. Kept waiting to see him move, to get back up and pummel Alester before him. I watched him for a while, completely dumbfounded. This isn’t real, this isn’t happening. I haven’t lost Kiran and Percy just now. Kiran will come back with his Phoenix, and Percy will heal. They have to. They can’t leave me.A thick sadness was beginning to envelope me. I felt the cold seeping into my bones, as the darkness began to over take me, feeding on my depression. I felt it turning all the heartache in me into an unbridled rage. I looked at Alester now, who had Percy’s heart still in his hand, burning it to Ash befo

Percy's P.O.V. Zae had made her announcement to everyone. I thought it was sweet of her to go along with Topher's plan to have an announcement party. This is how it should have gone. A baby with only the person she chose and not because some crazy bastard gave her a sea witch's potion. I watched as everyone congratulated her. She actually accepted the hugs. God, I hope she continues to open up after I'm gone. I wrote her a letter too. I put it where I knew she'd find it after my funeral. I hope she takes the advice I wrote for her. Everyone was having fun. I watched as Zae's people all intermingled. It was like watching the many parts of Zea's life come together beautifully. Eventually, the party had started to whine down. The first to leave was group 1, followed by Zea's parents, and then Tate and Alara with her twin, Alexis, plus Maple left. Kellan had decided to stay a while longer to talk to Dex about water portalling. Rain and her mate, Nate, left as well. The only ones he

Zerena’s P.O.V.“How does this look?” Kiran asked, when he finished the icing on the cake.“Looks great!” I smiled at him, kissing his cheek. “Thank you, Kiran.”I was actually excited for today. I never thought I would be a big announcement kind of gal, but I think that I am. I really like the idea of surprising everyone today. Topher and I have been over the moon about our baby girl. I can’t wait to share the news with everyone. I am so very lucky to have Percy. I don’t think I would have noticed I was pregnant for at least another month. I am also so grateful that he has saved me time with naming all these children. Already knowing their names and their genders has been very convenient.
Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 168
Percy’s P.O.V.Dearest Ares,I know you’re going through a hard time right now. It’s hard to be in love with someone who doesn’t feel the same way as you. I felt this way about your mother for the longest time. I know it is difficult, especially to watch them be happy with someone else. I promise you, it will get better. You will find your mate soon, and the pain you are feeling will be a distant memory.Stay by her side, fight through the pain, my son. She will need you when your brother inevitably breaks her heart. It will hurt, but you’ll have to help fix them in order to find your own happiness. I know you have a great heart. I can already see how morally grounded you are. You will make the right decision. I have faith in you.&nb
