The Marked

Chapter 10

Life and Death

Be careful of what you wish for because some wishes are so strong they come true

Exalea's PoV

I had just made it back to the rec room when I saw someone standing near the entrance. "Hello I haven't seen you before can I help you?" He looked at me and looked like he was seeing into the deepest part of my soul. "You are Exalea and you are Zidane's love here on earth right?" He knew me and Zidane but I never seen him before. "And if I am?" He smile and stretched out his hand. "Darkness take her life instead of Zidane's." This darkness erupted from him and had claws that were sharper than razors.

With every scratch I could see green vapors coming from my wounds in which I knew was my soul. I couldn't move or do anything but watch. I knew this is how I am going to die. No one was going to be able to save me from this. When it seemed that all of my soul was about to leave me I fainted. "NO!" He screamed and I never was going to see him again. I turned my tear into a crystal and cried one last time.

Zidane's PoV

"No!" I couldn't do anything. My mind was all crazy. "Rydia come to me." I yelled her name. I didn't know why but I had to. When the shadow that was covering everything lifted and I saw Exalea's soulless body my soul shattered and left my body to find her. To stay by her side. I have died and didn't plan on returning.

Hannah's PoV

His body is here but his soul is gone. At the sight of losing a loved one he shattered." I was so upset I thought I was going to be sick. The new boy Mathew was gay and yes he was going to flirt with Zidane if he saw him alive. Even though he didn't know him. Mathew was also crying when he saw him. "His tattoos are all gone. He doesn't have the dragon or moon or the arrow that is over his heart." Rydia was so calm. "How do you know that?" I also knew from how his body was covered in scratches.

"Look at his eyes. He is looking at nothing but black. He was touched by darkness." She was right. His eyes were black. I didn't want to see anymore of it so I left and found someone in Zidane's room. "Who are you and why are you here?" He was tall and dark. "I am his father and have come to see how his earthly life was going before he sadly died. Do you know how he died?"

I was angered at him because I knew that he was the one who killed Exalea just so he could get to Zidane personally. I had to keep it cool though so he wouldn't suspect me. "No sorry I don't know. It's going to be a sad day without him around." It was sad but I wasn't sad, instead I was ticked off. I went to his bed and found my old sweat pants and changed into them and went to sleep. Glad to have his smell all around me.

The End

Stay tuned for the next book I am planning on doing side stories for the characters that we don't know how they ended up at the school.
