After breakfast, Venera called us up to prepare us a little more before the fight. I had to fight the urge to call her out in front of everyone. But, her help was valuable.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"They will all be arriving in 15 minutes. Then is when you all will fight until the end. For those you love, and for Starla," she said while shooting me a small smile. I glared in response. Everyone else cheered as they pumped themselves up for the fight. Venera came up to me.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"May I speak with you? I can explain," Venera asked. I frowned.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Fine, only because Starla code says to not hold grudges," I said as we went to the backyard. Venera sat down with me.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Starla, I wish you didn't have to find out that way. And, I wish I didn't have to be against someone I love as dearly as I do you. But, I have no choice. The reason I know about death and what happens and how is because I.. have gone through it. When we die, we can be revived by ghost tears. When we are revived, the reviver has a choice to own the soul of the one they saved or set them free as if nothing happened. Unfortunately, Cyra chose to own my soul. At first, I admit I was doing this to save my skin, but Tierra changed everything for me. I wanted to be free, but the only way to do it is reviving the one who owns you," Venera explained. I hugged her as she kissed my forehead.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions. I love you, Venera! Who's in control?" I asked.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Cyra. If I use ghost tears to revive her, then I would be free," Venera said, longing in her voice. I hugged her tightly again.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"Teach me how to use this knife, Venera! I will stab the b-i-t-c-h and set you free!" I said. Venera rubbed my head.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
For the remainder of the time, she taught me how to use the knife, and the best places to stab. I was a little nervous, but stabbing the person who hurt my boyfriend will be sweet. Venera said that since she's a cop, she can file it self defense. So, it will be sweet.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
We had five more minutes, so I went to Altan. I gave him a big kiss as I explained the whole killing-your-mother thing. He looked surprised and happy. I gave him another kiss.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"So, when we're done, Maristela and Izar will adopt you!" I said happily. Altan gave me a big kiss.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"I'll record everything, okay? Be safe, please. I don't want to lose you," Altan pleaded. I nodded before giving him another kiss.
✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧
"No chance. We're all gonna be safe!" I assured. He and I went to our room as I prepared an outfit meant for battle. Soon, I was ready. I got my knife and gave Altan a kiss.
