Semua Bab Flames in my heart: Bab 41 - Bab 50

“How do we find something that isn’t even supposed to exist?” I stared at Tyler. “It’s not going to be easy, but we can’t just let mom die. I am going to go back to the library and you are going to ask the king if he knows anything about the crystal” Tyler said. I can see he’s put some thought into this. I had so many things I wanted to tell Tyler, I didn’t like him being in the dark about so much. I didn’t have time to answer him because there’s a tap on my shoulder, I turn to see my aunt Colleen, Evee and Paige. I’ve never been more relieved to see them all in good health “thank god you’re okay.” I threw my arms around them. “I’m so sorry to hear about your mother she was like my sister” my aunt said squeezing me tightly, “we were shocked when we heard the news.”“It all happened so fast, I am glad you are safe, the hunter was after you next” I told her replaying the scene in my mind. “I know, I will be forever thankful for the king sending his people to warn us. I suspect

“It makes sense we aren’t the only magical creatures” Tyler sniffled. It’s weird seeing him cry. I think about every fairytale I’d ever read, they probably weren’t fairytales at all. “Why have we never seen anything though?” Tyler thought out loud. “Maybe they are hidden in plain sight.” There were so many possibilities. Our whole lives we had believed we were the only magical beings, since meeting the merfolk we know that their are others. “I bet mom knows” he yawned. Yeah I bet she did. Tyler starts to snore softly. The poor boy needed to sleep, we had a long journey ahead of us and I needed him to be mentally strong. I sneak out closing the door quietly behind me and walk a couple doors over to Rods room. I stood there for a moment not knowing if I should knock or just walk in. On one hand we were soulmates, but on the other we had barely just met. . It’s almost as if he senses my presence because he opens the door. “Oh hi” he said not sounding surprised. I walk

“Thank you for freeing us” they spoke, “too long were we under control by that horrendous demon, watching all those poor people being murdered.”Have they been trapped here all these years? It must have been hundreds of years since the king and I had been here last. “We are glad to help, would you mind pointing us in the direction of a safe camp?” the king asked. “Please stay the night here. We will keep you safe, our magic is strong. It’s why the demon consumed us.” The trees creaked around us but they did not move. “Thank you, then it is settled we will make camp here for the night ” the king takes off his backpack pulling out a small tent. It doesn’t take us long to set up camp with our small sleep tents. I start a fire for us, the trees groan at the smoke. If I didn’t know any better it seemed like they wanted me to put the fire out. “Don’t worry, I won’t let it burn you” I whispered. The trees seemed to calm with my reassurance. The king and Tyler join me around th

I remember the kings voice warning me “not all the lives are good.” Like he knew all along, but didn’t want to tell me. I turn towards him and he has a shameful look on his face “why didn’t you warn me.”“Somethings you have to find out on your own Clara” he sad sadly. I had one life left to remember and it was the worst one I’d ever lived; it also happened to be my last life. I was a hunter and not just one of them, their leader. I’m so ashamed I once fell to dark magic and even worse - Damien was my lover. I had helped him slaughter so many witches. Or more like he had helped me. Tears came to my eyes, I was the reason they were so strong. Damien was in a different body which explains why I didn’t recognize him before. His soul was too evil, I had blocked him out. It was my idea to create the ritual with the elemental powers. All of this was my fault. The evil I created got my mother and Hope killed. A small part of me missed the feeling of being so powerful from stealing

“I feel like you aren’t telling me everything” Tyler said during the car ride. He knew I was an awful liar. “I don’t have time to explain everything to you right now” I snapped and I didn’t want to anyways. “We have some time and you look like you need to get some things off your chest. Come on you know I’m here for you.”“If you thought I was crazy you before” I laughed, “you might thing I belong in a nut house now.”“No, I’ll believe you no matter how crazy it all sounds- I promise.” He sounded sincere. I started to tell him about my soul living forever and how I’d been around for over 500 years. I told him about all the lives I’d lived; even the one I where I was a hunter. Then I told him about how I screwed things up with both Ben and Rod; which in some weird way was the most painful part. “Tyler I was responsible for building the hunter army that is hurting all those witches.”“Clara you know that wasn’t your fault right?”“That’s where you’re wrong. I was their lea
