Then She Was Gone Book Summary Novels & Stories

My heart ached painfully as I listened to her tearing me down. To her, my sincerity was nothing but manipulation. "It might be best to at least check up on her," the assistant chimed in. Angel said thoughtfully, "I'm not saying this to curse her, but the timing is just too coincidental." My mother grabbed the report and flipped through a few pages. "You mean Melisa may end up like this girl that no one stepped forward to claim her body?" You're right, Mom. I died miserably, but do you care?

The hollow space inside her echoed. He was gone. ---

She had been gone before I regained consciousness. I searched for her afterward. Everywhere. Every hospital, every neighborhood, every school. The girl who had saved my life was gone, vanished like a fragment of sunlight through storm clouds. I asked around, no one knew Isla Hart. It was maddening. That fiery spirit, that fearless streak, had left a mark on me I could not forget.

So she was a figment of the past? "She's now considered a forgotten soul? But..." I didn't know how to react to this, I felt somewhat sad and my heart felt heavy. 'So, she can't go back anymore?' "Not anymore. Her death wasn't something that I have written purposefully. The book continues on it's own when a hole in the story is created. She was only a cannon fodder that was sent away right before graduation."

She fought her way out of the mountains with nothing but sheer determination and got herself into college. She finally reunited with her birth parents. But soon after, a car accident took them away. She was left badly injured and barely alive. That was when a system bound itself to her. She had to leave her own world and begin a mission. She grew up with my dad. They fell in love as teenagers. She chose him as her mission target, full of joy and hope. She thought that if she was sincere enough, everything would work out in the end. But she never imagined that she would lose everything and end up completely broken.

I had not expected her to react like this upon hearing about my death. But what did it matter? It could not bring me back. Mason's assistant stood off to the side, completely at a loss. Vega was the one funding everything, and no one could afford to offend her. … By the time Vega left the police station, her legs were too weak to support her. My body had been so soaked by seawater that it was barely recognizable. The police said the killer had already been found. The beach was usually deserted. This time, I had only been discovered because a couple had gone there on a date.

I said. I looked up at him. "Us becoming mates was a transactional exchange from the start. Shouldn't you be relieved that it's ending?" These words sounded so sharp that they didn't sound like something I'd usually say. Ever since Hannah fell into her deep slumber, the gentle, obedient version of me seemed to have died together with her in that enclosure too. I stood up and opened the door. "Alpha Jack, please leave." After Jack left, I heard he went to a bar.

One moment she was there, the next she was gone, swallowed by the night. Who really was this woman?!

I stepped closer, lifted the book slightly to get her attention, ready to ask what it was and why it reacted the way it did when I touched it and if she can open it. I never got the chance. One second she was right there in front of me, solid and present, and the next her expression changed completely, her body went rigid, and she said Jayden is in trouble and he needs me like it was a fact and not a fear. Then she vanished. No warning. No spell circle. No lingering trace. Just gone.

Zayne had more money than he could ever spend, and Jeremy had received his punishment. It was finally time for me to go. The wind stirred around me. My body grew lighter, dissolving into strands of golden light that began to fade from my fingertips. I turned toward Vera's headstone and slowly knelt before it. "Mom," I whispered. "I'm coming to find you."
