~Avery~”I don’t get it. So whoever this person is, has hands-on experience with vampires. But she or he could see their end? How can anyone for-see the future?” I asked in shock as I read over the words one more time. Lydia was weirdly quiet, she looked to be thinking about something, trying to make sense of this but there was more behind her eyes. She was shaking her head and her lips were moving silently. ”Lydia?””I have no idea, let’s continue reading,” she said and flipped the page. This one had the crown symbol on the bottom left corner.”The embodiment of regal poise. The queen to rule over endless pain who shall meet her faith in the hands of trust. For no one creature is truly immortal, a balance must be made, a life for another or two on the hands of each other a balance will be restored, peace will be set free again.””Are they talking about-””Raven,” Lydia answered.No one is immortal, everyone can be killed.But killed in the hands of trust, two killed by each other.
~Amber~”A girl who will protect her family, and those she loves, from harm. She will reach her full potential, she will fight, and she will win,” she said with a sad smile. ”Avery…” I said quietly. I wanted her to stop talking. I didn't like where this was going. ”A girl who's mate was never meant for her. Their forever had already been decided to not last very long. A love that been bound and sealed, a love that will fade with time unless they pay what they owe.””Your marriage…” I breathed out. ”A girl who will win a war, beloved by her family and her mate,” ”Please stop,” I said. ”About a girl who is not meant to survive the war she wins. For she must fall for the others to live,” Avery whispered.”Why?” I asked her. I felt how angry I was getting and I needed to control myself. ”I was never meant to live a long life, Amber. I was born with a purpose, I was born to kill the queen and give my life to make sure that those I love are safe. I am meant to kill Raven,” she said.
~Avery~”It’s in my blood. My great-grandmother could foresee the future and different events that would occur, my mother could too. This ability goes back centuries and generations. My grandmother would tell me stories about our family, many of the women were burned or tossed in the lake with bound hands and legs because they were thought to be witches. One of my relatives, she had foreseen an attack on the village where she lived and she tried to tell the elders, those who were in charge but they saw her premonition as nothing but witchcraft and sentenced her to death.” I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Could Jaspers ancestors have been the ones who wrote the book?”How do your family know all of this?” I asked him. ”A lot of them wrote things down in books so that their premonitions would live on even after they were dead. It was almost compulsive, whatever they saw or heard they had to write down so the information wouldn't get lost. And the woman who tried to save her vill
~Avery~Jasper had gone off to practice. I was still in the library, I was stroking my arm with my hand as I replayed our conversation in my head. The women in Jasper's family had all been given the gift of premonitions. Both a gift and a curse I guess you could say. His mother had died, but maybe his sister could help me. Me and Jasper had planned to meet up, after his practice, out by the garden. There was a gazebo out by the lake where we could sit in private without prying eyes and ears. He asked me if the Alpha wouldn't mind us being alone together and I told him that he had nothing to worry about because he didn’t. James had no right to be possessive anymore, he had given up that right many choices ago. I knew that the risks were there, but I wouldn't let James hurt him, I finally felt like I had a chance to get a hang of everything. There was a way for me to be with James, feel the mate bond, and live a life that didn't have to end at the hands of this war and Raven got to
~Avery~James turned around and in an instant, he was in front of me, his hands cupped my face and he slammed his lips down on mine. The passion, the strength, the dominance, it was all clear in that one kiss. He pulled back slightly and rested his forehead against mine. ”Things are changing, everything is different, I know you feel it too. I will fix this, Avery, you have my word. It will be you and I, whatever I have to do to make it so, I will,” He said in a beautiful promise and placed a kiss on my forehead before he left. Alex stayed behind, he raised his head slightly and looked at me. There was something he wanted to say, be it an apology or something else, I didn't feel like hearing it. We were all dealing with our own problems, in our own ways. The problem was that all our problems included each other but we closed off and I didn't think it was going to change anytime soon. James thought he could find the truth in that book but he couldn’t, I knew he couldn’t. But the mo
~Avery~We sat there and talked and laughed for about an hour. Jasper had a great sense of humor, it was mixed with modesty and sarcasm that was right at home for me. We understood each other. ”You need to stop acting like your life depends on you sticking around here,” I said and bit down on an apple slice. ”Whatever you say, Luna, oh wait-” He said and look incredulously up at the roof. I turned my head and scowled at him. ”Ha-ha, very funny,” ”It wouldn't be if it wasn't true,” He said and leaned back against the couch with a cocky grin on his face. ”You’re comfortable, might need to change that,” I said with a scowl. Jasper laughed, it was a carefree laugh, one that made your heart flutter in happiness. I couldn't help the smile that twitched on my face, my lips were tugging up and Jaspers company was one I didn't know I needed. He was easy, carefree, funny, and had no drama. It was refreshing.The smile quickly vanished when a pain in my abdomen struck me hard and the stabb
I saw something twitch in his eyes, something he wanted to cover up but couldn’t.”Answer me!” I screamed again and pounded at his chest but James just stood there, giving me no reaction, as stable as a mountain wall. ”Avery,” Alex's voice sounded behind me but it was like he was further away. His voice was canceled out but I still heard the softness.”No!” I screamed and shot my hand out to silence him. ”Avery?” I heard other voices now but I couldn't place them, they were there, someone else was there but I didn't take my eyes off James to see who it was.”You were supposed to love me,” I said through gritted teeth and tears.”You were supposed to be my equal, the man who was created for me. You were supposed to care for me and I for you. We were supposed to go through hardships together and solve all our problems together but you chose to shun me instead. Now you’re here, threatening my friend who has done nothing but shown you respect, and for what?” I asked, the words were fall
The sun was setting, the darkness loomed behind the clouds and an ominous feeling swept in over the town. The wind blew in through the trees, it grew stronger with every passing moment and slammed against the windows, carrying debris that people were shielding themselves from as they ran to their homes. A few raindrops fell from the sky, followed by the loud sound of thunder and then the sky lit up like a light show from the lightning.More and more raindrops fell and then the sky opened up and It started pouring.We were all in my room, sitting on opposite sides, no one was speaking to the other. Me, Alex, James, Jasper, Lisa, Jackson, and Lukas- the goofy vampire boy. The only sounds that were made were from the rain pouring against the windows, the wind slamming against any surface in its way, and the thunder that rumbled outside. Nobody was out, everyone had gone home and were safely tucked under blankets with something warm in their hands. The little ones were probably lulled
