Grey

All I do with my life is sit around and wait for Dahlia to give me something to do.

Which hasn't been anything in the last few weeks because she hasn't done anything in these past few weeks.

I think Seth sitting in the house for two weeks really threw Dahlia for a loop because she has been a mess ever since she lost track of Seth.

It makes me happy that Dahlia has no idea where Seth is because she will be safe but part of me feels guilty.

Keeping Seth safe means Dahlia is not getting what she wants and if Dahlia isn't getting what she wants then I don't get to see my parents.

Part of me feels like I'm betraying my family.

It feels like I'm choosing a girl over saving their lives but what lives am I saving if they are already gone?

Ruining another family to bring back mine sounds selfish now. Especially after watching Seth defend and protect her family even with her life at stake.

I wish they were here so I could reassure them that if I could stop and control whatever feelings I have about Seth Jackson I would.

The feelings I have for Seth, I have never felt before.

When I'm not with her I go crazy but the moment I'm with her, I can't think straight.

I do things all on feelings and not with my head when I'm with her.

I snap out of my thoughts when the sound of Dahlia's voice calling my name interrupts my thoughts.

I walk up the gigantic staircase and into the office room she is in.

"Yes?" I say in an obvious annoyed tone.

"I have our next plan ready." I am uninterested and can't tell if it's for my or Seth's sake. I don't care about Dahlia's plans anymore because I want nothing to do with it anymore.

"What are we doing now?" I ask sitting down at her desk and leaning back in the chair with my arms folded.

"In a couple of days we are going to move in on Seth, we will get her here again and finally get the answers we have been wanting."

My first thought is that she better not go near Seth ever again but then I remember Seth is in the center of all of this.

"When?"

"In a couple of days. I will text you before we go to do it."

"I am not agreeing to this until I can speak with my parents." Her head snaps in my direction as if she is surprised I know she knows how to do that.

I've learned a lot from Seth in the period we have spent together.

She has shared some things with me about how witches can emotionally connect with the dead.

"Fine but I'm only giving you five minutes." I nod in agreement because that will give me enough time to say what I need to say.

Dahlia starts a spell and in a matter of moments, the room around me goes black.

I started to think she didn't know what she was doing but then I heard a voice.

"Grey."

Sarah.

Suddenly I turn to my left to find my little sister running towards me with open arms. I pick her up and twirl her in the air before squeezing her close to me.

"I missed you so much," I say to her still holding her close to me.

"I missed you too." She says to me.
