"Why can't we teleport there?" Carter asked. We have been walking for two hours nonstop. I feel good and don't feel the need to take any breaks. Each step I take makes my nerves shake a little though. I'm on my way to face some pretty powerful witches and the woman who is responsible for all of this.

"Because, I'm not that strong to teleport both of us. I want to save my magic for when we're there." I answered. Carter stopped in his tracks.

"I thought you were ready." Carter said.

"I am. Ready more than ever, but I don't want to use my magic to waste it on teleporting there. Plus, I don't even know where she is. I'm just following my gut. I have this feeling I know where she is, but I don't know the exact location. It's weird." I explained. Carter nodded his head in understanding and started walking again.

An hour later and I can feel that we are close. I let Carter know and he tenses up. I know he doesn't want to do this. He doesn't want me to get hurt, but I can't take it anymore. Lillian cannot control my life and I shouldn't spend it being afraid all of the time.

I'm getting nervous and start shaking a little. Carter looks over at me and notices.

"Hey. Calm down." Carter tried to comfort me. I kept shaking, so he cupped my face.

"Sing." Carter instructed.

"What?" I asked shakily.

"Sing, it'll help." Carter explained. I nodded my head and closed my eyes. I took one shaky breath and started singing the first song that came to mind.

"Is it too late now to say sorry?
Cause I'm missing more than just your body, ohh.
Is it too late now to say sorry
Yeah I know that I let you down
Is it too late to say sorry now." I stopped for a minute and then started walking as I sang. Carter held my hand the whole time and my shaking eventually stopped.

At one point Carter started singing along with me. I was surprised at first. He has an amazing voice.

I tell Carter that we have about another theory minutes before we would be there. Carter stopped and I turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?" I wondered. Instead of responding he came closer to me and pressed his lips to mine. I was shocked at first because it's out of nowhere, but I responded a few seconds later. The kiss shows the emotions Carter is feeling. Scared and desperate. I love him so much and I know it hurts to see me do this, but he knows I when to.

I step back and my back presses against a tree. A few seconds later, I pull back for air and Carter rests his forehead on mine.

"I love you. Just know that." Carter said.

"I love you too. More than you know." I replied. We kiss for about another minute before we start waking again.

I know where at the right place because I stop singing and my shaking starts back up. There's a house in front of us. It's old, and you can tell people are inside. I can sense them, and they are evil. Carter gives me an encouraging squeeze and I walk forward. I send Lillian a message telling her I am here.

A minute later, all the witches come outside. And Lillian is in front of them, the leader. She's the same as in my mind. Evil look on her face all the time. Her blonde hair is pulled up in a tight bun and her eyes are blue, and I know Carter resembles more of his father than his mother probably.

"Now look what we have here." She says.
