Where We Left Off Novels & Stories

I blew out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I thought they were going to fight about it. The air around us was tense, and it seemed like all they did when they were in the same space, was argue with each other. Luckily for me, there was no arguing and we continued to move in silence. The sun was setting in the sky, and the evening shadows were beginning to fall over the trees when we came to a signboard that said: You're now leaving Red Moon Territory. We stopped at that point, not daring to cross over.

I turned to look around and noticed that the reason that I don't remember the bar at all was that we were not in Purple Hill anymore. “Where the hell are we?” I asked Calvin as he got out of his truck. “Black Moon Pack,” Calvin said smiling at me as he help me out. My eyes grew big as I hear where the hell we are. “Cal!” I said almost shouting, “Are you crazy?!” “What?!” Calvin replied as if he was not guilty. “Let’s get out of here,” I said as I tried to pull him back into his truck so we can leave before anyone sees us.

The trip was over. The next one was already on the list. Everything else was still exactly where we'd left it. That was exactly right. That was more than enough.

We knew by the loud traffic noise and over-filled dumpsters we were back on Earth. “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore,” Adrian said, picking Eric and herself up. “Funny!” Eric said. “We’re definitely not at the academy anymore.” “Then where are we?” Adrian said. “I’ve never seen this place before.” “But I have,” I said, walking past them. I soon came to the Space Needle standing from a distance. I smiled at Eric and Adrian. “Welcome to Seattle.” After all the crazy crap we went through, I brought us to my hometown.

Mar’s eyebrows furrowed. “You always forget to lock the door and it makes people around you upset,” I explained. “Go to sleep. Or help me look at the maps so we don’t get lost.” A van went in front of our car as we were fighting. “Finally, Mom and Dad made it out of that damn place,” Mark sighed and followed the van. I shrugged and leaned my head against the car seat. I slept until we all got to a magnificent place. I woke up when Mark turned off his car radio. We've reached the Ethereal Hunters.

Delilah and I got them ready, and we all left together, as a family. I didn’t know where any of this was going, but I hoped our struggles were behind us now.

"I believe the moral lesson here is to be careful with the decisions you make. The sushi tastes really good, yes?" The discussion came to a stop as Uncle Al raised a hand for the waiter. I wondered then if this was around the time Uncle Al had set to motion his plans to bring his mate back to life. Without coming in to my powers, everyone is safe and in their rightful place. Our vacation ended with a trip to the mall and a private seat at a musical theatre. When we arrived Westfalls at noon, I sent a text to Zoe. As we offloaded our bags from the car into the house, Zoe replied with a storm of messages.

"I remember... the satay in Singapore. It was too spicy." I let out a sob of relief, pulling him into my arms. We had broken the Memory-Kill. We had crashed the Architect’s servers. But as the Admin Building continued to glow in the distance, I knew we hadn't finished the story. We had just cleared the air for the Second Season.

We weren't just waiting for the next thing to happen anymore; we were making our own lives happen, one slow, deliberate day at a time. As the sun began to dip toward the horizon, the sky turned a deep, beautiful shade of amber. We didn't feel the need to say much. The beauty of the evening was enough, and the fact that we were here, together, was more than enough. We had walked away from the chaos, found our own shore, and decided that this was where we would stay.

Kiara asked and I smiled at her taking her hand in mine and kissing her knuckle. “Believe me, even I miss it back there. No matter what the bullshit was, it was us and our family, none of the fucked up mess we’ve been living for the past month” I said and Kiara nodded at me. Her eyes fixed on the London Eye. The burnt building was abandoned after we’ve burned it, I wasn’t even sure that they would use it for anything else anymore. But I knew one thing, we did a good job in disorienting it “we’re leaving tomorrow. The plane is back and ready for us. I assumed that you’d want to leave as soon as possible”
