The Last Gifted//c.m.b

#53

Evie Pov
Eight o'clock...this is it.

Jessie, Emma, Andre and sveral other supernatural creatures stood there in my drive as Corbyn, Jonah, Zach, Jack, Daniel, Gabbie, Tate and i walked up.

Andre held Freya with her arms behind her back, she looked like she had been crying, it broke my heart.

A werewolf held Allen with his claws to his neck as another vampire held my dad.

Jessie of course, held a knife in his hand.

And a witch, not just any witch, it was Dr. Makeen.

The dark of the night making me uncomfortable for more reasons then my fear of it, although the headlights from the cars made me less freaked out.

Because of a conversation i had with Gabbie earlier.

"Do you know why your afraid of the dark?" Gabbie asked.

"Of course, because of what happened the last time i was alone in it" i nodded.

"Its more than that actually, so because your a light Gifted, the dark actually has more of an effect on you than you expect" Gabbie explained and i cocked my head confused.

"Like...how?" I asked and Gabbie gave me a sorry look.

"Your powerless in the dark."

"Ah" Jessie clapped hands together "right on time."

"Okay, were here" i said "now let them go."

"Not that easy Evie, im sure Emma told you" Jessie scoffed "this is a simple transaction."

"As you can see, we did not hurt them, just like you wanted" Jessie gestured to my family and Freya as Freya yanked at Andre's arms.

"Oh you-AH" Andre yanked her hair before she could continue.

"So this is up to you Evie, trade yourself for their freedom or" Jessie smirked "well, im sure you know."

"Choose wisely, i would rather not bloody this pretty face" Emma stroked her finger down Allens cheek to which he jerked his face away in disgust.

Taking a deep breath, i know what i have to do, there is no other way out of this.

"Deal" i spoke, Jessie taking a surprised face, while Freya, Allen and my dad tried to protest.

"What!?" Jonah exclaimed.

"No Evie, you said we find another way" Corbyn denied.

I didn't turn to look at them, i kept my focus on Jessie and my family in front of me.

"You let them go, right now, and i will go with you" i took a few steps forward.

Jessie shrugged, turning around "release them."

Andre let Freya loose and sprinted twards me, throwing herself at me as Allen and dad were released as well.

I held Freya tightly as she buried her face in my neck.

"You cant go, you cant, please dont go" she begged.

"I have to" i whispered and slightly pushed her away, even despite how much it hurt me.

"Evie..." dad had tears in his eyes as i walked twards Jessie.

"...i cant let them hurt you...any of you" i fought back my own tears.

"Evie please, you cant leave me" Corbyn stepped forward and i put my hand out, holding them all in place.

"Let me go Evie" Corbyn demanded but i just barley shook my head no.
