Close To The Conclusion Book 1

Chapter 17

^^^ Haven's P.O.V. ^^^

My friends, the love of my life, and the one I used to call father stand all around fighting people. An army of the best. We are adults. Fighting to save our lives at age 20. I used to think the only way to beat the king was to be selfish. Yet, I was selfless at this moment.

On my knees, I look around to see the fighting had stopped. You might think hooray we won. But we didn't. My sword rested in my heart. I found the way to break the death bond between me and Adrian which is that if one dies so does the other. I was selfish to keep myself alive. Or was I? That entire time I was searching for ways to break it. To set him free. The only way I found was to switch with somebody with similar genes. 

During the fight and switched the death bond but left my power in Adrian. I looked straight at the king and stabbed myself. Screamed no but stopped short. Grabbing his chest. "What did you do?"

"I set the death bond on a familiar gene. Rot in hell bastard." I plunged the sword deeper into my chest. With the last of my strength, I pushed the king backward off of small opening into hell which Adrian created when he was fighting his father. He laid on the ground next to his falling father looking at me. The entire army disappeared. He limped his way towards me. I could hear the silent sobs of Danni as she held Jesse in her arms. Jarrece kissing Kenzie quickly while actually speaking to her saying thank you. Kandice tried to soothe Dustin back down from being a dragon. While Kenji feverishly looked for Alex. CJ ran to me quicker than Adrian and pulled the knife out of and attempted to heal me. I could feel the falling sensation coming from the king.

Adrian finally reached me. "No no no no no no no no no no. Please no." I could have switched it back but then he would die and I had no strength for that kind of magic. I knew my end was near. I felt my back tether in two before they heard it. 

^^^Adrian's P.O.V.^^^

The crack was the worst thing I have ever heard. She laid limp in CJ's arms as she rocked her and sobbed harder than I thought a demigod could without shaking the earth beneath her. I could feel the tears running down my face and saw the others gather around her limp body. Alex helped Danni drag Jesse's body over. A whole in his chest where his heart should be. Dustin stood next to her in his naked glory along with Asher. 

Thomas walked up slowly to the scene. He may be a frightening monster but his eyes were bloodshot and he screamed a ferocious growl that was followed by the roar of Dustin, the howls of Danni, CJ, and Asher, the electricity snare by Kandice, the scream of Jarrece and the glow of Kenzie. I allowed all dimension to hear the end of this war and the fall of our leader. "She should have told us. We could have found another way." Kenji had kneeled by his summer runes that displayed all around us.

"She did this to save us." Kenzie sniffled out. "So, we wouldn't have to know and put our lives out on the line farther."

"She will rest with him." Danni whimpered. "They will look out for all of us."

I made CJ give her body to me as I lifted her up. Using my power to dress her in a dark gown with a crown. Jesse body had disappeared and Danni screamed again clawing at the spot where is body had laid. ¨NO! He deserves a proper burial!¨ It was devastating to watch her. ¨Just do it Adrian.¨ she was cold and broken.

I lifted her up with my mind and open a portal to the one place where no one will find her body. She called in the rift. Where all of the dimension connected but no one can enter without her power. I laid her there and closed the portal. ¨I failed her." I looked at him.

¨Why do you say that?¨ 

¨Remanso de Ahorro.¨

¨The department is fine.¨

¨No, it is of my Spanish heritage. It means Saving Haven. I didn't save her.¨
