It has been a week since being back in Canada, and after witnessing part of Decebels trial, every morning I've been finding myself laying down on Kiara's bed in her room. Her room still smells like her, I miss her a lot. Her smell makes the feelings calm down a little bit but not much. Kiara is my best friend, and the closest thing I have to a sister. I talk to her about everything, and it's the same with her. I've been trying to link her through the pack link, but I haven't gotten anything and it almost feels like there is a huge knot within the link that isn't letting anything go through. It's worrying me so much because I'm hoping and praying to the moon goddess that she is okay. Same with Morgan, she's a tough girl, but from what we've seen of trauma that comes from being in captivity for so long, it wears down a person. Right now we can only hope that they both will be returned to us safely. I wrapped my arms around Kiara's pillow and held it closer to me, picturing that it was Kiara I was hugging again. With everything going on, I've been having a hard time fighting back the tears, but right now I cant hold them anymore. I just let them out. I pressed my face into the pillow to try to hide my weeps and sobs, but was a failed attempt when I heard the door slowly creak open.
"Emily, honey?" I heard a woman's voice.
I looked up from the pillow, tears soaked my face.
"I'm sorry if the sounds of my cries are disturbing you.." I wiped my face as Bella walked over to the bed, sitting on the side of it.
"They weren't disturbing me, dear. I'm worried about you, thats all." She rubbed my head gently.
"I just miss Kiara so much. And honestly, I'm pissed at Decebel for what he's done. At the same time though, I feel so incredibly bad for what he's going through. Kiara wouldn't want any of this!" I sniffled.
"I know, I cant watch sweet boy go through this stuff. Breaks my heart truly." She sighs.
"Bella, can I ask you something without being offended?" I sat up next to her.
"What's that dear?" She looked into my eyes.
"Why aren't you mad at Decebel for everything? If Victor and him are created from the flames of Hell, and have dark magic within them, how can you easily see the good?" I rubbed my neck.
Bella let out a deep sigh before speaking,
"Darkness within someone doesn't always mean bad, sometimes it just takes others a little longer to find the brightest star. I don't fear the darkness captured within Victor, nor Decebel, like everyone else does. In reality, the darkness can be a gift and a blessing. Without darkness we wouldn't have the moon, nor the stars." She explained.
"Let me tell you something Emily, you see only the information that is shown to you, don't forget about the wall you cant see behind. There's always more than what meets the eye." Bella stands from the bed.
