Derek Two months have flown by. All has been quite. No attacks, no death but that also means no word on Malayah. Maliyah no longer has the connection to her sister so we don’t know whether she is alive or dead at this point. Davina remains optimistic that Malayah is still alive. Maliyah has been depressed. It’s like it was when Malayah first disappeared but worse. Maliyah is withering away before our eyes. She hardly eats, doesn’t read, doesn’t draw and refuses to go riding. Even Aspen hasn’t been able to get through to her. Davina and I are coming up on our one year anniversary but she doesn’t want to leave with the state Maliyah is in and I don’t blame her. Plus we are about two months away from the due date. Davina is currently napping. She’s been doing that a lot lately. I spend my days trying to stay ahead of my paperwork and checking on Maliyah. In between I ensure to spend time with the twins. They have become quite mobile and are trying to climb everything. Carrie Harrison’

DavinaI am very happy Derek took the week off along with Owen and Mark. With no leads on Malayah and no attacks in months, there is nothing we can do. Everyone could use a little happiness for a while. I do my best to stay happy but that’s hard when we are missing a family member. I know Malayah is not dead I can feel it, but that also means she is suffering and I don’t like that either. I can feel Derek has fallen asleep already. His arm on top of me has gotten heavy and his breathing has deepened. I focus on his breathing and soon I drift off to sleep. I think I am asleep anyway. I am back in the garden in the dragon realm. I look around expecting to see my parents but it’s not them. “Do not be frightened of me Davina.”“Who are you?”“What does your heart tell you?”“Ryuu?” He has deep blue eyes and olive tone skin. He has long silver hair tied into a low ponytail. He is quite muscular with a strong jaw line. He’s not as tall as Derek but he’s definitely way taller than me.“Yes,

Davina I am really excited that I can now control my power to grant abilities. Now we will have more of an advantage against our enemies. Now that Ryuu has told me what to pay attention to I should’ve known all along how to grant abilities. I feel this warmth around my heart when I think about what it is I want to happen. The warm travels out of me towards the person I am want to grant an ability. I see Calista walking towards us. Perfect. Now I can grant everyone the ability to use those force fields for protection. “What next love,” asks Derek. “I want to give you all the ability to create force fields for protection like I and Maliyah can. To protect yourself when in danger as well as each other. I think it’ll come in handy if we are ever attacked or are in battle.” “What do you need us to do,” asks Calista. “Just stand in a circle around me and place a hand on me.” “You want to do everyone at the same time,” Derek asks. “I gave the whole family the ability to be telepathic

“Need us to tuck you in Maliyah,” asks Davina. “No mom, I’m getting a bit old for that don’t you think? I’m just gonna read for a bit anyway before going to bed.” “Alright sweetheart. Goodnight.” Davina and I give her a hug before she enters her room. “I’ll be in the library for now. I’ll watch over all the kids if you all are going to handle the witch,” says Aspen. “If y’all wanna come we are going to head that way now,” I inform my siblings and their mates. “Yeah we’ll come. Extra protection, just in case,” says Mark. “I’m sorry if I scared you all,” says Davina. “We were more scare for you, not of you. Are you okay,” asks Keila. “No, I don’t want that to ever happen again. I was just suppose to take away his bear not kill him. I didn’t want to kill him.” “We know you didn’t Davina,” says Daniela hugging Davina for support. “So who is this witch,” asks Davina. “Her name is Macy Gilbert. She was Miranda’s sister,” says Daniela. I watch Davina let that sink in. Once she

Dr. Ase wheels in some equipment and a hospital bed. Keila inserts an IV into my hand as Derek carries me to the hospital bed. Bands are wrapped around my belly as Dr. Ase is setting up the stirrups for my feet. I feel numb, I cannot even register what is being said to me. I can’t get my body to listen to move, like I am paralyzed. Keila and Dr. Ase are quite in sync with each other, not once saying a word as they work quickly to get everything set up. I feel someone squeeze my shoulder, sending sparks throughout my body. I look up and see it’s Derek, snapping me out of paralyzing state. I can feel his pain of our loss through the bond. “Davina I am going to inject pitocin into your IV. It’ll induce labor, it may cause you to feel nauseous. This band will help us keep track of your contractions. Normally your body would empty itself but you haven’t had any contractions yet or pain have you?” I shake my head no at her I haven’t felt anything. As far as I can feel, the baby is still
