Magic Can Destroy

Part 3

Nobody understands how much I miss my dad. Or how much I miss how life used to be in England.

How can I just forget how we used to be? How can I forget everything? That's what my family wants me to do. They want me to forget, forget who I am, or who I used to be and start new here. How can I, when all I ever wanted was to just be normal and happy?

Do I have to go to school? Do I even have to live? There's no point in living now. People aren't even people anymore. Just like robots, working every hour of the day, thinking that The Queen of Air and Darkness; Queen Griselda will kill them all and give them a long agonizing death. Sometimes I feel like Queen Griselda isn't even a real person, she just hides in her little castle and never shows herself to the humans. Maybe she's not who she says she is. Maybe she's the one who's supposed to be afraid of us, maybe she's the one who's supposed to face death. Maybe she's the one who lives with the fey. Do you think I'll be able to defeat her and her minions? I sighed. I'm probably a stinkin' ant compared to her.

She'll probably just stomp on me once and I'll be dead just like the rest of them. Just like my parents, just like everyone here.

Everybody thinks I'm just like them, just like the robots. The ones who have no feelings, no emotion, no soul, no love, no life. Well, I'm not, so don't even jump to conclusions.

I climbed into my rusty blue pickup truck and slammed my door shut. I turned the keys into the ignition and heard the roar of the engine and I knew it was started. I pushed down the automatic transmission and put in into drive. I put my foot on the gas pedal and zoomed through The Dark Valley and finally came into the light and pulled the handle into park and took my keys out of the ignition and opened my truck door. While snatching my backpack from the back seat and putting my keys into my back-pocket of my sweatpants. I locked my doors, hearing the blare of a siren for two seconds and it always gave me a heads-up when there were vampires nearby. The pale bloodsuckers don't come into the light though. The truck must be wrong or maybe they're were fomorian instead of the vampires. I say "maybe" a lot don't I? I chuckled to myself, these creatures won't stand a chance against me. I also have weapons of my own.

I don't come here empty-handed. I always have backup. " KADEN GET OVER HERE I NEED YOUR HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs without losing my breath. That damn wolf needs some speed these days. He was also fomorian but he was my friend. My best-friend actually. He's the only one who even has a sense of humanity. He's not like the others here, he's more........human. But at the same time he's not. He's a werewolf. Maybe he's the one this stupid truck is alerting me about or else I'm just wasting my time. Orrrr there might even be a vampire around here. I looked up to notice a brown wolf fiercely sitting on four paws, waiting for me. "Huh?" How come he's been standing there all along. His fur turned into tan skin, his canine teeth turned back to human teeth. His sharp claws transformed back to short nails and his black nose turned back to his normal cute button nose. His wolf-like figure turned back to his normal self. His body curled up into a straight posture and he loomed over me. I had to raise my head to see him. He was always so tall and cute. But never underestimate him. He's.... he's.....always so nice to me. And I don't know why. He's the reason why I make those rules to never look into a guy's eyes and to never fall in love. Because...because... I think..... I love him. I think I love this werewolf with his silver eyes and his dangerous grin. I think I love Kaden. He's always been there from the start of when Queen Griselda took over the government. "Um...Kaden?" I need to tell him the truth. I can at least give him that much. Kaden looked up and curled his lips into his famous grin. "Hmmm anything you say...I will do." He mumbled to me. Anything huh? Let me test the theory. "Kaden? Will you do me a favor?" I smiled at him sweetly wondering how God could bring him into my life and take him out in a second too. "Anything Viv, anything for you. I'll do anything for my best-friend." I don't feel like going to school today, I'm just going to ditch. Hopefully. "Will you ditch with me?"

"Ditch what?" He curiously gazed into my eyes. I could literally feel my heart thump in my chest. I could feel myself gasp. The Queen of Air and Darkness doesn't let us love anyone. When she finds out when someone feels deeply for someone she immediately comes after them. But I don't care if she comes after me. She gives them pain intentionally. She makes them feel like they're dying of heartbreak. She makes them see her world. Her wicked dark world. But I won't let that happen. I shook my head coming out of my trance. "Ditch school. Will you Kaden?"

"I said anything for you and that anything means even ditching school with you, Vivian I need to confess something but I don't want to do it here. Do you want to go somewhere else? I can smell the pale bloodsuckers and it's making me feel sick." "Sure, anywhere just away from school."

Kaden gave me a disgusted face when he said "pale bloodsuckers". I snickered at how awful he was feeling. What? It's funny! He scrunches his cute little button nose. It's cute and funny, but don't get me wrong he's really man-like too. Like he's buff, really buff. He's the only one who protects me from Them. I need to tell him the truth about me or else he'll think I'm just another stupid girl. Well, I'm not. I'm different from all the others. Nobody else has those things like I do.

"Viv come on. You know what this means?" Kaden smirked at me and bumped his shoulder with mine playfully. I'm going to have to let him carry me to wherever he's thinking of going. Which isn't scary because, I trust him. And I also love him. I only figured that out today and I'm deciding on telling him today as well. He deserves everything and he deserves the best. But I wondered what he needed to confess.

"Yeah, yeah you do the whole piggy-back ride thing so shut up? Will you? I don't want the vampires to track my scent and also make me one of them. Anyways, I'm curious. "Would you still be my best-friend even if I was one of them?"

I was nervous because most werewolves would say no to this. I waited patiently. I jumped at the back of Kaden and locked my legs around his torso and he went running up the hill to who knows where. I felt the cold breeze of wind and felt my eyes close and my nose inhale the scent of Kaden.
