Not too far in the sky, I see a fratello aiming an arrow at Sonia who innocently has her back turned to it as she's watching Desmond and the other boys move further into the woods.  My heart and mind begin to race as I can't figure a way to save Sonia. My heart explodes as I watch this fratello pull the string of its bow backwards. Ready to fire.  "SONIA!! "I scream at the top of my lungs as i throw a big stone I just picked from the floor at the fratello.  The fratello and Sonia both turn to me and at the same time it releases Its arrow. Time slowls down as I watch the long rod with a metal blade fly towards me.  Time slows for me to watch but not to move. I give a sharp scream as I feel myself get impaled.  All i suddenly see is white. Sonias POV;....  I just heard Gabby scream my name and I turn the same s

This isn't an update. It's an honest appreciation to all my readers. Honestly guys.    From voting, commenting, recommending, making fan arts,  growing bonds with me and my characters, it's been awesome having you all.    I'm amazed, proud, and happy at the growth of this book of mine. It's not perfect but you've all still got my back.    Despite my sometimes slow updates, you still condone me and do not leave nasty comments for me to return to.    I'm very glad about that. I love you all. You make writing fun for me.    Guys, you may not know what your every read, comment, vote, and fan art means to me but it means a whole lot than you know.    The joy of being appreciated takes one to a whole new level.    I've been through a lot personally but when I'm in this story world with y'all, my worries a

I stand in panic and run a few steps towards the city noise. Maybe I can get some help, but on second thought, there's no way I'm doing that. What... What if something happens to Desmond.  What if... What if Mader comes back? I run back to Desmond.  "Desmond? Come on open your eyes. "I beg with tears as I tap his face gently.  He doesn't respond and I notice he isn't breathing.  "D... Desmond? "I call in fear.  I feel about his neck with my fingers. Not knowing exactly how to but hoping to somehow find a pulse.  "Desmond! "I scream when he doesn't reply.  "Please Desmond open your eyes! "I scream in fear. He can't leave me. Not now, not ever, I can't be this close to a better life hopefully with him and then he'd leave me. He's been my strength for the past three years. It can't all go to waste! 

I freeze as I stare at the doctor. Is there another language where that means 'he's fine?  "W.. What? What do you mean couldn't save him!? "I scream.  "I'm sorry dear. Too many internal injuries. He lost a lot of blood and some serious damage was caused to some of his organs due to the punctures. " the doctor states.  I watch nurses begin to exit the room and I stand facing the door. I suddenly begin to hear the voices that makeup silence as I walk into the room.  I suddenly understand how light could transfigure into darkness in just a blink of an eye.  I suddenly understand how one second is enough to destroy years of hard work.  I suddenly understand that death has always been lurking in the shadows. Awaiting the perfect time to steal life.  I suddenly understand the fact that life is not defined by t

Wow!  I'm so sure a lot of you hate me by now cause of what happened to our Gabby, Ekene, and Tori.  And I'm sure when Desmond died you hated me even more but I hope we're all good now😅.  I could never kill my Desmond. Hell no😅🙈 We're nearing the end of this beautiful book💃💃💋 ____/|\_____/|\_____/|\_____/|\____ With bandage wrapped around her head, plasters on some parts of her face, and her right feet wrapped in a bandage as she'd hurt her ankle but didn't notice. Sonia is still seen smiling. It's been a week after they'd escaped the woods and Desmond is still in bed. The Smith and Daniel families have become close. Even Tori's grandmom had grown a bond with the families during the week.  Sonia and Desmond are alone in the hospital room. The sun ray beautifying the room.
