Soul Bond

Chapter 8: Ready for It

The next day, the day goes off quickly. After school we head to the mall with guardians of course. Christian and Adrian tag along with us. "Something is off about you, what's going on?" asks Adrian, I turn to him, "huh?" unsure of what he's talking about. "Ya you aren't you tough lively self anymore, ever since Justin......" I sigh, "I'm incomplete without him that's all, I'm just I don't know" I shrug it off. He says no more.

As soon as we arrive we shop til we drop, literally. I was tired as we arrived home after the shopping spree. It made me feel more relax that I didn't need to think about the problems revolving my life. I felt like a normal teen for a change. I felt like me, I was able to joke and give my famous witty remarks to Adrian and my brother Christian. After Lissa says goodbye, I shut the door to my dorm and sigh an breath of relief.

I put the new clothes, and the gorgeous dress I let Lissa pick for me, away in the closet. I then shower quickly, dry my hair, straighten it. I put on my pjs and undo my bed. I should see, I need my strength for the dance tomorrow with Eddie. I lay there until my eyes droop on their own......

🌕*dream*🌙

I wore the same red dress from before and was bare foot. I was at the same cemetery, only this time it wasn't Justin I saw approach. From a flowered hill, was Aya, walking swiftly towards me. I grin and rush to her. "You have news in Justin?", she nods sadly, "his spirit is weak but he's still there. Kalona has him on a necklace where the crescent is kept. He's in an abandoned building with many strigoi and hybrids and humans, place isn't very far from you, he's kept an eye on you". I look at her, thinking of what buildings she's talking about.

Then I remember an abandoned warehouse close the academy at the beginning of the road to it. "Crap, he's closer than I thought","Justin doesn't have much time, he needs to be released from the crescent or he will leave this world" she warns. I groan and sit cross legged, she sits beside me. "He's watching me huh? Through the soulless Justin?" she nods. I groan, "does he have a tracking device in his body?" she nods.

"Ok then I'll make sure the to take it off him, but first I need a plan" I say, she stays quiet, her voice small and tiny. "I think I know a way" she replies softly, but it might be dangerous","what? Tell me","well first you need to surround the area, but you need to pretend your me","huh?","you have to pretend you let my spirit take over you, get really close to him, rip the crescent off him and surround him by your flame for as much as you can hold, you must have the soulless body with you though, then break the crescent on him and feed him your charmed blood, but-" she stops.

"But?" I ask, "while he drinks your blood, your flame will go off, meaning he's free, you must do this all quick with much speed" she says briskly. I take a deep breath, grasp it all in. "Ok thank you" I whisper to her, she takes my hands, "be careful please Bloom, for I fear it will be the end of you","I'll be careful" I promise her. She nods, "very, be strong and wise, don't leave yourself unguarded" she warns, I nod again.

After that she stands up quickly, "I must go, be careful" I nod as I watch her walk back up the hill, without looking back. She disappears into a fog that wasn't there before......

🌕*awake*🌙

I sit up, shivering awake. I know what I have to do now, help me Aya.....

The school day goes by fast, everyone is excited about the dance. Lissa talks and talks about it. She's happy. I, well I'm ok. I rather spend my time figuring out the little details in my plan. I had already called Fernando and told him we need a group. He promised to tell everyone at home about my plan. Then here, I already told Cristian and Eddie, their of course with me. Justin, I haven't seen, I don't even know if he has been fed.

I can't tell because the bond is numb. The vodka I drank had numbed the bond. So I had no spirit side effects, which cleared my mind a bit more. Straight after all my classes, Lissa prepares me. She orders me to naturally to curl my hair in long curls. She does my make up. She dresses me in the strapless black tight mini dress she had decided to pick for me so I'd look very attractive. After she makes me wear some black heels too.

I looked in the mirror, I look a bit slutty, like a dark angel of the underworld. I then dress her as well, but she looks more princessy, while I looked an angel of darkness. I liked it though.
