29 // Reunion

We were back where I did my training. I was held in Alex's arms while sobbing and to my despair, he could actually hold me and resist the electricity flowing from my body.

Shalom was seating on a rock with Lydia sitting on her lap while she comforted her over the loss of her kingdom, everything had turned to smoke, and while the lake was still there, the door had vanished, and Lydia had no way to go to the other side.

After seeing the body in that water, I started hyperventilating and Lydia had to teleport me here in hopes that it would help me to calm down.

I’m guessing Alex thought teleporting was one of my strengths, he had freaked out and thought I had gone to confront Violet.

I got up from the floor, leaving Alex's cold embrace.

I paced around, my mind clouded with questions. “I don't understand it - why her? Why did they have to kill her?” I asked. “Killing my mother was not enough, but they just had to kill Lizzy too,” I choked on my words, trying to fight back the tears.
