All Chapters of Poison Magic: Fantasy Collection: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

I smirk at Amir grinding his teeth. "He's come to save me." I have no idea if he will be able to save me, but I know he's going to give it everything he has to try and save me."He's too late. He'll never get rid of me!" Amir smirks. I'm not sure if he's right or not, but I know one thing for sure."He won't leave me here, Amir. You don't know him like I do." I insist. If there is one thing I know, it's that. He would not leave me here until he has given up everything and there is nothing left to save me. This is one of the reasons I love Trey."I know him better than you think, but he will still never get rid of me. I'm a part of you now," Amir insists. Most of my body seems to be a dark mist right now... like the mist from the cave... and he seems to be more solid. But there is still part of me here... and if the only thing I have left is my will, then I will will myself to wait for Trey."Calliope, baby. You need to come back to me," Trey whispers in my ear.And suddenly I feel a s

Trey sighs heavily and takes my other hands in his, and brings it to his lips placing a soft kiss on the back before he distracts himself playing with my fingers, and swallows again. "This is a partial bond. It wont fully seal until you turn 18. The day I turned 18, I knew... It was going to be you, but even I was surprised that I could hear some of your thoughts.""Why?" I ask. I don't understand any of this at all! How did we get a partial bond and why? He knew this was going to happen? And how the hell can he read my thoughts? Although, thinking back now, some things make sense. It seemed like he was reading my thoughts a lot lately. That day Beth came up, he was a trying to tell me it wasn't what it looked like, but I didn't believe him. I was too hurt to think things through.Trey looks up into my eyes. His beautiful blues bright and shiny. He carefully cups my face in both his shaking hands as he says, "Because I love you. This is what happens when a fairy falls in love. They fo

I don't know how long I've been laying in Trey's arms, but it doesn't seem long enough. I think I could stay here forever and not move. The strong steady beat of his heart against my ear soothes my nerves. His warm woodsy scent brings peace to my heart. I just want to stay wrapped up in this little bubble and pretend everything bad in the word doesn't exist.We hadn't been doing much, he'd just been holding me. We've talked a little bit about us. We spoke about our memories of our lives together, even when they involved our siblings. But mostly we've just been resting. Both of us were exhausted.I guess it takes a lot of energy to eliminate Amir like he did, and it took a lot of energy out of me to be this close to death. I don't know how, but us being together seems to be regaining some of our power and magic back. It's refreshing and energizing! Trey said it is because we share a bond and the energy between us works like a rechargeable battery.Jaxx and Mom left us alone a few hours

I knew it! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!I can't stop giggling to myself. I'm so super happy right now! I would be doing a happy dance right now if my friends wouldn't think I was a psycho or something! But then again, they know me!Trey finally confessed to Calliope that he loves her, and now he's even claimed her! That was faster than I expected, but well... he's been in love with her for years. I've seen him struggle with his emotions. He's done a decent job at hiding them... Until the last few weeks. And then when Amir showed up, it was pretty much nonexistent. He couldn't seem to stop touching her, which was funny! He really should'a just told her.Actually, he told me not to tell her. About a year ago, I saw the way he was looking at her and I teased him about it. He was so embarrassed about being caught, I told him I was gonna tell Cal, and he freaked out! It really was hilarious. Of course I wouldn't really do that to my brother, but I wanted him to tell her then... He said

Trey informed us at lunch that we are all expected to show up to the council meeting today. That's like the third time we were called in. Mom didn't say anything to me, but then again, I'm not surprised. Trey would've heard first and told Cal about it. Unless Calliope found out first and she told Trey... either way.It's been weird. Normally 17 year olds are not allowed at council meetings. we aren't 'grown ups' yet. We don't need to know all the nitty-gritty stuff about how magic is running. We have other stuff to worry about... Like high school! I still have 5 months until I turn 18, right in the middle of January. Phoebe turns 18 next month on September 8th. Chloe turns 18 around Christmas, and Selene won't turn 18 until May 18th! And still, they are calling us in.Ever since we learned about the Abyss a week ago, the council has been on edge. Mom and Dad have been staying up late discussing things they won't share with Trey, Sophia or me. Not that I'd expect them to discuss this w
