My Dead Mate (On Hold)

The Past

“Yes what are those pictures I found in your room?”

“Larry dropped them off.”

“Why?”

“To torture me.”

“What are they from?”

“The time that…”

            “Larry kidnapped me.”

“What?”

“Larry once kidnapped me and I fought my way out.”

“Why are there pictures?”

”He sent them to Jacob to torture him and he’s been sending them to me every once in a while to remind me what he can do. Any time I felt like I could move on he sent those pictures every time it sent me spiraling into a fit a rage and it took a lot to get me out of it.”

“What happened?”

“The night Larry killed my family I ran from the house and he followed me. He then grabbed me from behind and threw me into a van. I was beaten unconscious when I woke I was tied to a chair. I was tortured while photos and videos were being taken and sent to Jacob. I refused to show any pain though for Jacob I knew he going through so much already. I finally got out and ran to Jacob but me escaping got us into even more trouble and we were always looking over our shoulders and running away.”

“Wow” that’s all he said. How can that be all he has to say? “Wait how did you escape? No ones ever escaped Larry.”

“I’m a Luna”

“A Luna?”

“An ancient type of witch whose powers can only be fully unlocked on a solar eclipsed. They have the power of the five elements water, fire, earth, air, and spirit. The thing is I had a short burst of power from so much anger built up. It allowed me to defeat Larry and his men but I was completely drained and I have not been able to access them again. Not even as he was attacked not even as he was killed. Why couldn’t I save him? Why did I run and not protect him.” I was crying so hard by them that I curled up in a ball. Dylan slowly wrapped his arms around my weeping body. “Erica if you had tried to protect him you both would have gotten killed it would have done no good. So don’t beat yourself for something you could not have prevented.” I curl into his chest thinking of him is something I can not do without the tears falling. Why can I not think happy thoughts of him. I run out of the room and into mine. There I see a note written on black paper with white letters, it says,

My dear Rica,

I’m sorry I had to lie to you. You do not know how much pain I have been going through because of it, but I must to keep you safe. I have always been keeping an eye on you. I love forever and always. Please forgive me. I must see you again though. Come meet me in the clearing at midnight please.

Love,

Jace

Jace? Jacob? No it can’t be! But I must see! Ii sit down and read the note over and over again until midnight rolls around. I sneak out and into the clearing there I see a figure in the shadows…
