MasukKYLIE's povElijah returned later at night, and by then I was already asleep.But I woke up at some point in the night to find him sleeping beside me."You must be exhausted from playing hero all day." I said softly as I ran my thumb across his cheek.

ELIJAH's povThe day before we were to set out to battle was quiet. In truth, we experienced a sense of normal we hadn't experienced in a while, it was hard to believe we were going to face our greatest nightmare the day after.The air smelled like summer. The grass warmed by sunlight, the gentle
