Avery’s Point Of View“He is here somewhere, I am sure of it,” I said confidently, as we searched through the forest.We had been searching for three days with no sign of Amos, and the men with us had started to become tired.I had trailed his scent for days and ended up on two different wild goose chases, but I was sure this time.It was as if Amos had intentionally made it very difficult to find him, and it was making me lose my mind.“Cover the entire area,” Quinn ordered anxiously, running his hand through his hair.The day before, he had been spiralling, imagining the worst when another day had passed without finding Amos.It took Angie and a lot of effort to calm him down.Both he and Angie carried a strange sense of guilt, blaming themselves for everything that had happened so far.A part of me wanted to comfort them and tell them it wasn't their fault, but I wasn't delusional; it was partly their fault, and that couldn't be denied.If they hadn't sided with the enemies thing w

Avery's Point Of View “You shouldn't have come here,” he whispered weakly, his eyes barely open.“What do you mean?” I asked confusedly, my mind in shambles.I had been looking for Amos the whole time; he even called out to me in my dreams.I didn't understand why he was driving me away now.I waited for a response, for him to say something that made sense at least, but he didn't speak.I tried to touch him, but he pulled away like I had some contagious virus.My heart was shattered, my mind in shambles, and I didn't know what to think or believe.“Don't waste your life-source on me,” he finally said calmly, his eyes distant.He didn't look shocked that I could heal him; he already knew.“You knew who I was and my destiny, didn't you?” I asked calmly, hoping he would prove me wrong.“Yes,” he said dryly, his eyes looking everywhere but at me.I wanted to scream about his betrayal, hit him, do something to let out the pain and anger I was feeling. But just then, we heard something e

Avery's Point Of View Her words hit harder than any physical blow, making my chest tighten painfully.Images I could barely remember flashed through my mind, faces I wasn't sure were real anymore, voices that sounded so distant.Fragments of life I had been chasing all my life but seemed so far out of reach.Angie shifted slightly, her lips moving as she stood behind Maya, as if she wanted to speak, but she just pressed her lips together and kept her head down.“I've waited too long for things to go back to the way they should be. I won't wait any longer,” Maya said calmly, taking another step towards me.Amos angled his body to cover me fully, his grip on my hand tightening.“You don't need her for your victory, Maya; you never did,” He said through clenched teeth, his eyes fixed on her.Maya's smile faded as she finally turned to look at Amos.“This was never about Victory; it's about balance,” She replied sharply, her face hardening.The air around her seemed to darken a bit, th

Avery's Point Of View “What did she say?” He asked anxiously, avoiding my gaze.“She said I should not trust you,” I said firmly, staring him down.For the first time since I met Amos, he looked genuinely terrified.And behind us, somewhere in the darkness, Maya's voice echoed.“Finally,” Maya said amusedly, a chuckle escaping her lips.I turned around sharply and met her entertained gaze.“You finally found them,” She chuckled, raising one eyebrow sarcastically.And then suddenly all the lights went out.For a moment, I couldn't see or hear anything.Not Maya, or Amos, not even the voice that I was hearing initially.I stood completely still; my hand was still wrapped around Amos'.I knew I was surrounded, but I couldn't see a thing, and that made me feel more scared than I had felt my entire life.“Avery,” Amos whispered, grabbing my hand tighter.“I'm here,” I whispered in response, not daring to speak any louder.“No matter what happens, don't let go of my hand,” he said quietly,
