We had gathered everything in front of Lucy. She stirred it all up in her little travel cauldron. She had tied her hair back out of the way revealing her beautiful face. She had sharp string features. Her skin was a beautiful white with a kind of peachy undertone. She was about 5'10 or 5'11. It's a good thing Eric is so tall. She focused on her work and chanted some odd language. When she was done she poured it all in a cup and handed it to Ash. "Drink up." She told him. Ash gulped, eyeing the neon green liquid in front of him. He took it quickly, swallowing it down with a lot of effort. He let out a groan of disgust when he was done. Layla squeezed his shoulders from behind him. She was emotional. How could she not be? "Did it work?" Ash asked Lucy. "Are you doubting my work?" She arched her eyebrow. "I didn't mean-" Ash fumbled with his words. "I'm only kidding." She interrupted Ash. "It worked, I promise. Here." She waved her hands around us and a large bubble hung around us

Sam's P.O.V.She's so beautiful, even draped in another man's arms. All I see is her pure heart and abundance of love. She makes me want to love just as deeply. I've never met someone like her before. Someone that has been through a lot of darkness, but stayed pure. I know Lucy is going to scold me when she gets the chance. I didn't tell her Ember was married or pregnant. I just told her about Ember. I didn't mean to honestly, but I couldn't seem to stop talking about her once I started. "You really like this girl, don't you?" She had asked me on the phone when I had called her yesterday. "It's that obvious, isn't it?" I sighed. "Extremely. I haven't heard you talk this way about a girl since Jenna." She teased me. Jenna was an ex-girlfriend now. I thought I would marry her one day, but she freaked when she found out I wasn't human."She's just so amazing, Lucy. She's so caring and sweet. She's b

Ember's P.O.V."Where's Sam?" I asked Dex, after Eric and Lucy left. It had been a few minutes now since I saw him. I thought he was following behind Lucy, but he never came in. "I'm here." Sam smiled at me, but when he stepped through there was someone behind me. "Guys, this is Evelyn." He introduced the absolute beauty behind him. This woman was gorgeous. I thought elves were beautiful, but clearly angels have the upper hand. Her wings were tucked tightly behind her, as they began to recede back into her. Her gaze was sharp and her arms crossed. She was not friendly. She eyed me carefully, before wrapping herself around Sam's arm. I was caught off guard and my chest tightened at her act. Is Sam taken? Is this beauty wrapped around him a girlfriend I didn't even know he had. It doesn't matter, it doesn't involve me. Good, he has a girlfriend. He should. He's handsome and sweet and he should have someone to lo

"Ember?" I felt a light tap on my cheeks. "Open your eyes, my love." Dex's voice was pulling me back from the darkness. I felt my eyes fluttering open, slowly. The light was bright and my head was hurting. "Oh thank God." Dex let out a breath. "I am so sorry." He tucked his head into the crook of my neck. He was shaking his head, fighting his guilt. He didn't have anything to feel guilty about. "Don't be sorry. That was amazing." I rubbed my fingers through his hair. "Ember you were out for almost 5 minutes. I tried healing you, but Nova just ate up my magic instead. She's a greedy girl." He placed his hand over my bump that seemed to have grown twice its size now. "She ate your magic too. We need to go to the doctor." "Is she okay?" My voice cracked. "I'm sure she's fine. It's you I'm worried about." He sighed. He got off the bed quickly pulling his pants on. He p

Sam stayed brooding by the wall. It reminded me of the time Toni sat against the wall in Eric's room. It tugged at my heart. Toni was consumed in darkness at that time and I didn't even know. "Are you just going to stay like that?" I asked him. I don't like brooding men. "How else should I stay?" He arched an eyebrow at me. "I don't know, at least sitting in a chair." I sighed. "Okay." He sat in the chair Dex was just in, with a cheeky smirk on his face. "Is this better?" "If you weren't in Dex's seat, then it would be." I shook my head at his antics. He grabbed my hand unexpectedly, caressing the back of my palm with his thumb. "Please be more careful, Ember." His voice was soft and tender. His touch was warm against my skin. A familiar feeling began to build in my chest. With each passing day his touch becomes stronger, almost pulling me towards him. I squeezed his hand before pulling it away. He seeme

After a few minutes of awkward silence, I finally spoke. "Are guardians and their charges always so close?" I asked, not looking at them. "Yes. We're in charge of keeping them safe from the moment they turn 1. We stay close to them. Being physically away from them is painful for us." Evelyn explained. Well damn. Knowing she feels the need to touch him made my jealousy worse. He's not Toni. He's not Toni. I kept repeating that mantra to myself the entire time he sat beside me. He shifted on the couch stretching his arms out over the back of the couch. His fingertips were so close to my left shoulder now. If he stretched his fingers out they would graze my skin. My heart sped in my chest. The hairs on my shoulder were standing on end, almost calling for his fingers to touch them. My sweet Dex is in the kitchen making me food and I'm sitting here hoping Sam's fingers just lightly graze my shoulder. I need to move. I need to get away. I won't do this to him. I leaned to my right a l

"Sam, we need to talk." I sat up, so I could look at him. I forgot about his hand that had been slowly creeping down the side of the couch. His hand lightly touched my back and goosebumps shot up my neck. There was a small spark, remnant of the one I would feel with Toni. What is this? "I'm listening." Sam smiled at me, lightly rubbing my back with his fingers. I felt myself melt into his touch for a moment, before I snapped myself out of it. I shook my head and pulled away from his hand. It took everything in me not to lean forward again and let him touch me. "Why do you have some of Toni's memories? I know these images are coming from you. Explain, because it makes no sense to me." I demanded. Sam froze alongside Evelyn. "He can't tell you, at least not yet. You'll get your answer in a week now." Evelyn spoke for him. I didn't like that answer. "Why can't he tell me?" I was getting upset. "It's against the rules. He'll be punished by not receiving his angel. You must be pati

Dex held me flush against his chest on the bed. He had me tucked under the sheets and was lightly rubbing my back. He was doing his best to comfort me. "Ember, I have to leave you so I can care for our son. I'll return with him soon. I'll tell Ash to come over." He told me. "I won't let you be alone right now." He pulled his phone out and called Ash. He told Ash everything. I could hear Ash say he was on his way. "I won't leave until he gets here." Dex tried to comfort me."It's getting late. You need to go to him before he falls asleep. Ash is coming. I will be okay until then." I tried convincing him. I could tell he wanted to argue though. "He needs to say goodbye. He needs the chance to say it. You need to go." He very reluctantly got off the bed. He gave me one last kiss before leaving. My heart was breaking all over again. The small glue that held it together was coming undone. I was loudly sobbing again. The door opened, letting small light flood the room. "Ash?" I cried o
