Heartless (Book 1: Heartless and Revived series)

𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓽𝓮𝓻 36

It's been almost two weeks since Grey's death and I have already come up with an idea to bring him back.

I've read into my mother's spell books and looked at every piece of information she has on bringing someone back to life.

I think it will work. It has to work.

I have all of my mother's spell books and all my sheets of work scattered all over my bedroom floor.

After the first two nights, I came back to my bedroom.

It was as much comforting as it was torture.

I can feel Grey everywhere. I can hear and see him everywhere I look in here.

That is as much of a gift as it is a punishment.

Tomorrow is also Grey's funeral.

I kept trying to tell Easton a funeral wasn't needed since I had a plan to bring him back but Easton said "I need closure."

Nick and Easton are worried about me and think that my idea of bringing Grey back won't work but it will.

I know it will.

A knock on my door interrupts my thinking.  A few seconds later, Nick's head peaks into my room.

"Leila is here."

I stood up from where I was standing and rushed downstairs. I missed Leila and my niece.

Even if my niece isn't here yet, I can feel her presence and that makes me happy.

I am also excited for Leila to be back because I know Leila will be able to help me bring Grey back.

Leila is smart when it comes to magic so I know she will be able to find some loophole or something that can help.

When I got downstairs, Easton and Leila were already hugging on each other tightly.

When they released their hug, I could actually see how big Leila's belly had gotten. It had only been two months.

She is only four months pregnant but her belly looks so much bigger than it did last time I saw her.

"Seth!" Leila embraced me in her arms and hugged me tightly.

"I missed you." She said quietly.

"I miss you too."

She pulled back and examined me for a second.

"Are you okay? How are you holding up?" She held onto my shoulder and her face had concern all over it.

"I'm hanging in there. I'm actually working on something and I need your help."

Easton and Nick's facial expressions changed. It seemed like I said something wrong.

"You're already working on stuff again? Shouldn't you be taking time for yourself?" Leila stepped away and looked back at Easton.

"Well yes and no. It's about Grey, I think I have found a way to bring him back but I am going to need your help."

Leila's facial expression had completely changed too and she looked almost sad.

"Seth, Lei just got home, maybe give her some time," Easton said in a soft voice.

"No it's fine, I'll listen. Come on Seth."

Maybe we will be able to work on the spell tonight and Grey will be able to come back sooner than I expected.

I rushed upstairs with Leila and to my room.
