(Ryker) What Andrea said had me working twice as hard into getting Elias back. Max was on the verge of a breakdown, no matter how many times I tried to reach out to him and comfort him. He locked himself away, not allowing me or our parents to even talk to him. I asked Raina to tap into my mind so that she could pull him out of whatever depressive state that he was in. Raina was quick with help me, even though I knew that she still hated my guts to this day. I still remember her warning, even up to now, so I'm trying my best not to get on her bad side. “Ok, I luckily I have done this with Forest before. I tapped into his mind and brought Elias back, so this should be easy.” Raina said while rubbing her hands together. Everyone stood to the side, watching her as she got started. “Close your eyes, I think. I'm going to chant a spell that will be able to get me into your mind.” I did as she said and closed my eyes. I instantly saw Elias's image and calmed down. The smile he gave me ma
(Ryker) Raina was the one who teleported us this time to where Elias might be. I think she did it out of jealousy because her aunt was getting the work done, but who am I to talk? I just wanted to get my baby back so that I could hold him forever and never let him go. I don't know when I became this person, so soft and in love. I was once the person that everyone hated, now look at me? Trying to redeem myself was a lot of work. But, I was willing to do it for my mate. “Hey everyone, listen to this.” Andrea said, we walked over to where a radio was playing in a car and listened. “In other news tonight. Over sixty-five people, including six children, were found dead as hurricane Isaac continues to strengthen. It is now at category 5 and looking to get stronger. Right now, as I speak, more bodies are found. I will give you a report as soon as I can. Remember to stay safe and evacuate any area that is prone to flooding. This is Moira Ebanks, reporting from News On Demand.” I sighed and
(Elias) When I woke up, I couldn't remember where I was or the faces of the person who was with me. At first, it felt empty. Like I had lost a part of me indefinitely. I frowned and looked at the fingers that were intertwined with mine. Somehow, it was enough to calm me down, despite not fully knowing who I truly am. “Elias?” A tall woman with black hair and blue eyes asked. That's when I figured something out. She must be my mother. A grin formed on my face as I got ready to reply. The man standing next to her looked exactly like me, could he be my father? “Mom, I'm fine! There's no need to worry.” With my answer, she started to cry. I looked at her confused, trying to figure out what I said or did wrong to get such a response from her. “Oh my goddess! It is so good to hear you call me your mother. Do you know how long I have waited to hear those words from you?” Ok, it seems as if she was slightly crazy. “You are my real mother, aren't you, not! And you are my father. So, of
(Max) Asking Ryker for control was something that I had never actually done before. I usually just took it from the idiot, but right now, I was asking him. Explaining to him, while I acted shy, I needed to talk to Forest. He only chuckled and did what I asked. Now, Forest and I were sitting in an awkward silence. I didn't know where to start. How do I tell him that I needed him more than ever? That I was willing to give up everything just to spend the rest of my life with him?At first, I was worried that I had lost him, but now that he was with me once again, I wanted nothing more than to hold him in my arms and never let him go. “Seems as if you have a lot on your mind.” Forest said, I nodded my head and groaned. “Why don't you start by telling me? I'll see if I can help.” I cleared my throat nervously. “Um, ok. Please don't think that I'm weak because of what I'm about to say. I have fought for you constantly, but now that I have you, I want more.” He gave me a look, as if I w
(Elias)After what happened between Max and Forest, I was now the one in control, since Forest said that he was too tired to even move. At least they had fun. That's the best part of this. Now, I was aimlessly walking around, trying to find something to do so that I could take my mind off what had happened before. It sucks really, I wasn't concerned about my warlock side. Going to training with Raina was just a weak moment for me, which made me want to accept a side of me that I didn't want. The power became too much, I knew that in the end, I would spiral out of control, and that's exactly what happened. It's dark out now, and the starts were prominent in the sky. I don't know how to explain it, but while I was looking at them, it felt as if I was drawn to them somehow. I snapped out of it when I heard my name. Seeing that it was Kai, I smiled as he enveloped me in a hug. “I'm glad that you're ok.” He said after he pulled away. “Me too, how as it been since I've been away?” It fe
(Andrea's POV) He foolishly believed that I had helped him get rid of his warlock powers. The only thing that I did was to obtain a gift that I had desperately craved. Staring at the Stone, which holds such great powers, I chuckled as I realized how easy it was. Elias was still a warlock. It was in his blood. That part of him, I will never mess with again. Getting rid of his minion didn't mean that I had gotten rid of his powers. They thought that they could trust me, which was wrong of them. I have done so many things, just so that I can be more powerful than any other witch out there, including my niece. Now, I have to find a way to get rid of her before Elias finds out that I had yet again, double-crossed him.While I was looking at the Stone, a figure appeared before me, and I bowed my head when I saw who it was. “King Amaros. It's a pleasure to see you again.” I looked up and saw that scowl on his face that I had come to admire. “Now is not the time for formalities, Andre
(Ryker)“I have been ignoring you, haven't I?” Elias said after we decided to go get some rest. It was late, and we were tired, there was a lot on our minds, so it was better to rest as much as we can just in case something is going to happen, we needed to be prepared. “What do you mean?” I asked. He chuckled and pulled me closer to him. “With everything that's going on, it's always about Max and Forest and never about you and me. I'm thinking that this entire situation is just a mess for us. I don't even know what you're thinking anymore.” Had it been that bad? I mean, we went through a lot before, and we are just getting over it. But, it seems as if something big was coming, so it's not like we were at peace right now.“Baby, listen to me, I get that we haven't been spending time together to try to mend our broken relationship. I have messed up in the past, and now I am trying to make up for it. I would rather not burden you. What Max and Forest had, it's because they need each ot
(Ryker) Later that day, Elias came up with a plan to let us spend some time together. I was eager to see what he wanted to do. It's the first time he has initiated anything like this, so I knew that it was going to be good. After we showered and got ready, Elias somehow contacted Raina, and she was here now. I don't know what he had in store for us, but I was eager and couldn't wait to be alone with him. After whispering to Raina, Elias smiled at me. I raised my eyebrow at him, wondering what the little devil was up to. “Are you sure you want to go back there?” Raina asked Elias, who shrugged his shoulders. “I'm confused, but I know that I have to do this somehow.” He replied. Now, I went from being happy to worrying about what he was thinking about. 'Oh, look, who's suddenly acting smart.' Max started to throw shades at me, I hadn't done anything to him for him to act this way. Then again, I didn't have to do anything, and yet he would somehow act like I was annoying him. 'Jus
