Chapter 11I got home by 5pm. I could have stayed outside longer but I didn’t tell my mom where I was going and even though a smile from Theodore would magically erase her anger, I’m not sure I could push my luck much further. She could get a hold of herself any moment and it was going to be chaotic for me. Not just because I don’t want anything tampering with my freedom. My training was also at risk. Theodore and I didn’t say much to each other after our confession. I’m glad we didn’t because I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to say. I know I was just prolonging the inevitable and eventually, we were going to be forced to have ‘the talk’ but I was going to enjoy my time right now and live in the moment. In a moment, everything could just disappear and I’d find myself back to my first step. I liked Theodore, a lots. Granted, I admitted it to him before I admitted it to myself but it was still the truth. I do like him a lot. I do want to spend all day with him looking at fake and

Chapter 13Tiny was finally awake and I let out a breath that I had no idea I was holding. I was so relieved I thought I was going to cry. A tear even managed to escape from my eyes. I didn’t know how I was going to process everything if my impulsiveness almost got someone killed.“I told you to not let go.” Tiny said, getting into a sitting position on the chair. I resisted the urge to push her down so she could just lie down. I had to remind myself over and over that she was an adult who could take care of herself and this was probably not her first time.“I’m sorry. I thought you would die if you held on.” I replied bringing down my head, chastised.“You were right.”I was right? “I was?” I ask in shock.“Yes.” She said. Selena brought her a cup of tea and she patted her hand in thanks. “I would have probably died if you didn’t let go of my hand.”“Did something happen?” The question was from Theodore. He was beside me now. He held my hands in his own.“You need to be trained Diana

Chapter Fifteen I stayed still on the bed using my eyes to scan my surroundings for any potential danger. The events of the last months have left me a paranormal mess. It wasn't that I didn't trust Janice or Bryce to keep me safe, it was that I expected everyone in the world to attack me. I guess loosing members of your family can do that to you. Losing my brother and my mother have definitely made me into a different person. I didn't know if I could ever get my life back to how it was. I eventually summoned the courage to get out of bed when I deemed the room free of threat. I walked into the en suite. There was a new toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste lying there waiting. Good thing because in all my rush last night, I seem to have forgotten to bring mine along. I brushed my teeth and took a shower even though it was freezing and I could do without one I needed to cool my head, afraid that it might explode I still wore the same clothes I had on yesterday. Signature cargo pants an

CHAPTER 17 I couldn't help the slight shiver that raked through my body and I smiled sweetly at him. "I wondered where you ran off to" I said punching him playfully on his arm "I had work to do here at the keep" "Work?" I asked my face scrunching up in confusion "Teddy is a watcher, a sort of warrior at the keep. He is always so secretive, it's not like it is something that should be kept secret" Selena said rolling her eyes. "I wasn't keeping it a secret" he said defensively. "Yeah right." Selena replied folding her arms across her chest. "How come your girlfriend doesn't know what you do?""It just", I watched with amusement as Theodore scratched his hair nervously. "It never came up""Whatever guys" I said interrupting Selena when she looked like she was about to throw a come back "What's a watcher anyway?" I asked. I actually wanted to know. Theodore and I have been dating for weeks and I still feel like there were a lot of things I didn't know about him. I couldn't help f

Final Chapter The Dark Mage didn't even look like he broke a sweat and I was already breathing hard. I searched my brain for any tricks Theodore had taught me and I didn't use. Nothing was coming into my mind. "You've had your fun little one" the Mage said with a sheer "Now it's time I had mine." The mage raised two arms, gathering dark evil power. I looked into his face which had contorted, leaving a pale evil mask. The whites of his eyes were completely black now. He looked like a demon. Everything moved in slow motion when he released the dark power and pushed to me. I put up a shield in record time but the black wave was beginning to eat up, the flimsy shield I put up to protect myself. He focused his attention hitting and hitting. I don't know if I could hold on much longer. The shield shattered like glass around me, his dark power reached for me with cold hands and I was helpless to stop him. The defenses I had set up in my mind were already Shattered I could feel him prying
