THE FIRST BOOK IN THE NADINE SERIES
"What about them?" The woman questioned. "I want them to survive." The Handler looked over at Luther who stood guarded in front of Nadine. She sighed before turning towards the ice cream truck that Diego and Klaus...
"'Cause in my heart and in my head I'll never take back the things I said So high above, I feel it coming down She said, in my heart and in my head Tell me why this has to end Oh, no, oh, no
I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall We built this town on shaky ground I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no We built it up to pull it down"

CHAPTER 13: AND SO YOUR LIFE BEGINS
Nadine sat on the floor of her apartment with her legs tucked under her. She lit incense and spread her crystals in the correct pattern she would be cleansing them in. In front of her sat a cup of salt, a cup of water, and a lit candle as well.
The AC stopped working so her home was freezing. She had dragged on the brown zip up Five got her as soon as she got in.
The girl started the process, humming and chanting whenever needed. "What are you doing back home?" Nadine blinked at the sound of Wren's voice but continued what she was doing. "Hey! Why are you here cleansing your crystals instead of back there with your destiny?"
Nadine stopped in the middle of two crystals, looking up at Wren. "My destiny is complete. The apocalypse has been stopped." The girl then carried on doing what she had been doing, running crystal through the fire of the candle.
"Uh, no it's not. Also, stopping the apocalypse wasn't your destiny." Wren sat crisscrossed in front of Nadine. The girl looked up at the spirit, finally distracted from her ritual. "What do you mean? That's what the stars told you." Wren shook her head and grabbed the girls forearm, dragging her index finger straight down the inside of it.
"The apocalypse was never your destiny. That was just a package deal. He was your destiny."
Nadine coughed loudly, her eyes growing large. "What do you mean he's my destiny?"
Wren squinted at the air, putting her hands out. "I mean, he's kind of your destiny. As in, you guys are destined to be together. As in soulmate."
Nadine sucked in a large breath, her stomach twisting. "God, I feel like I'm gonna throw up."
Wren smiled lightly at the girl, grabbing onto one of her hands. "If you don't want to ever see him again, that's fine. It's your decision. You can walk away and never speak about him again and live a short happy life for the little time you have left." Nadine raised an eyebrow at her words.
"But if you do want to see him again, I have something to show you."
The girl nodded, blowing some air out through puckered lips. Nadine didn't know what to feel. She had met the boy less than a week ago and he'd already become more than her best friend. She felt closer to him than she had felt towards anyone she had ever met.
