Chapter 70

Authors note: We're almost at the end

It was dark and empty, Coral stepped forward her eyes glazed over, her mind felt cloudy.
"Facilier?" She whispered, she took another step forward, her body felt heavy. "Why..." tears filled her eyes and spilled down her cheeks. "Why am I crying?" She wondered, she took another step forward, in the distance was a purple light, it pulsed in front of her, inviting and hazy. She took another step forward the tears streamed down her face, as he body kept her moving towards the purple light,
"come to me. I'm here for you Coral." She took another step, she felt a weight on her body, she felt a heat coursing through her veins, she took another step, he was there but it didn't stop the tears. The purple light shifted and swirled until an outline of Facilier appeared. She kept moving, his voice calling her name over and over, her body was hot and a moan escaped her lips she was only inches away from Facilier and she reached her hand out.

It was a nightmare, it had to be a nightmare. Jack felt sick to his stomach as he watched Facilier kiss Coral, hold her close against him and the worst part her body wasn't resisting she was kissing him back with intensity. But there was something wrong, Jack glanced away. Facilier pulled back slightly and Coral stayed still as he lowered his lips to her neck, he pressed them against her neck and pulled back slightly.
"She's mine. She's all mine." He kissed her neck again and bit into her neck, Jack gripped his staff, his body felt hot, and the jealousy was almost unbearable until a voice snapped him out of his daze.
"Get off her now Facilier!" Helga ran passed Jack and she held up a gun and fired, Facilier's eyes widened and he summoned the shadows which became his shield, as Coral stayed still Facilier took a step forward and threw his hand forward, the shadow charged at Helga and she fire again. She dived out of the way and fired again once she was standing up, Jack stared at her, there was a determined look in her eyes and she wasn't backing down.
"Jack!" Another voice caused him to turn around and Merida was running towards him. "You have to snap her out of it!" She said, Jack lowered his gaze.
"She- she...
"She is under the witches spell! You have to save her, take down Facilier!" She said readying her bow and arrow, "Jack, you have to." She said, "Helga out of the way!" She yelled, the blonde nodded and did a back hand spring, Facilier frowned and ducked as the arrow whizzed passed him. He growled and turned to Jack and Merida.
"You!" Facilier ground out, Jack gripped his staff, the anger coming back as he let out a yell of his own before attacking Facilier.

As soon as her fingers were about to touch Facilier something grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Coral turned slightly and frowned. A woman clad in white robes was stood in front of her with a small frown on her face.
"Who are you?" Coral managed to call out, the woman placed her hands on her shoulders before bringing them up and cupping Coral's face whilst wiping away Coral's tears.
"It's me Coral."
"Mother?" She whispered, the woman smiled.
"Yes, I'm here to help you. for the last time..." She said sternly, Coral raised an eyebrow her body flushing with the heat again and she groaned. "Daughter. Do you want to be Facilier's?" Regan asked, Coral gripped her hair and shook her head.
"I don't know all I can hear is his voice! All I crave-" A hand went on her shoulder once more.
"I know... but it isn't you. My darling daughter, you must get out of here and save everyone."
"What if I can't? What if I'm supposed to be with Facilier and be the queen of darkness with Eris!" She broke down into tears once more and Regan wrapped her arms around her daughter.
"You have been chosen to save this school... I believe in you and I know you are not the daughter of darkness but of light..."
"I- I don't know how... I can't think! My mind and my body isn't my own!" She wailed.
"What does your heart want. Let it speak." Regan said. Coral stared up at her mother and the haze covering Coral's eyes disappeared in an instant, and her burning of her mind and body stopped and was replaced with a warmth and butterflies as her heart spoke freely. Her mother smiled and glowed in a bright white light, Coral closed her eyes and smiled as she placed her hands over her chest.
