Memories of Midnight

Part 3 *Vixen*

I whispered his name as the images stopped and slowly disappeared. I stared at him realizing that I had lived another life while my body was asleep for 13 years. Not only did I live another life, but it was a life that made me important to someone. I sat down, watching the memories flood back to my mind. I used to be a girl named Ashley Lithe. I was dark complected with big brown eyes and medium length brown hair. I was walking around town late at night 13 years ago, wishing I could be important, that I could be loved. I had thought I saw a strange light and followed it until I landed deep in the forest. Then my life changed forever when that mysterious light blinded me and fell to the floor unconscious. When I woke up a strange old woman was standing above me, offering to take me in and teach me. I looked at her confused until she pulled out a mirror and showed me how I changed. That's when I had met Novae Hyperion. A handsome young sorcerer who had been living with her in a place called Spirit Realm for as long as he could remember. He took me in and gave me the love I had always wanted. After 12 years of living together we wanted to finally get married, but no sooner than he was about to propose I had to leave. Just then I stopped to realize that Novae was no longer in Spirit Realm, but here in what we used to call Physical Realm. I stood up quickly, having the biggest panic attack ever known.

"Oh my gosh Novae! What are you doing here in Physical Realm!? I thought you hated it here!?"

He laughed as he wrapped me in his arms to try and calm me down.

"I told you before you left Vix. I love you with all my heart, meaning I will always come to your aid whenever you howled for me.:

I looked up at him to see that he was gazing at me again, remembering that look every time we had been together in Spirit Realm. It was love that made that gaze of his so amazing. He kissed my forehead just like he used to when we were alone. I closed my eyes as he wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tight against him. I pulled back from his grip ready to say I loved him when I heard a gun go off. I stood there motionless in Novae's arms as I watched him look at me with horror and screaming no. The longer he screamed though the more it dawned on me that I couldn't hear him. My body began to drop as I looked down and saw a large red stain forming over my heart. I laid there on the forest ground in Novae's arms while he cried. His tears landed on my face, making a trail down my cheeks. Everything around me was moving in slow motion as Novae laid me down gently and took off. I looked up and just before my eyes closed I caught a glimpse of the person who shot me. Nate Biggs started running in the opposite direction.
