RANIELLE
Ranielle looked around at the white room she was in. "Hello?" She called, as she searched for a way out.
"Child, don't be scared." Ranielle turned around at the sound of her mother's voice. "Mommy?"
Marie Masters smiled at her daughter. "Hey baby." Ranielle ran into her arms.
"I missed you, Mommy," Ranielle cried into her mom's shirt.
"I know, baby, I know." Marie pulled her daughter away from her and took a good look at her. "You look more beautiful than the day we left, darling."
"Mommy, you......wait....am I....dead?!?!" Ranielle began to panic. "Mom, I just found my mate i need to go back I can't stay here!" She hyperventilated. Marie smiled sadly at her.
"Yes, baby, you are dead. Unfortunately, you are here for good now. Your mate is distraught, and i imagine you are too. But im sorry, darling. You are here...."
"NO!!!" Ranielle shrieked. "No, no, DECLAN!!" She screamed until her throat hurt.
She sank down against the wall. She wept, her heart and chest physically aching.
Her mom vanished. In her place stood a silver-haired girl who looked ready to kick butt.
"Miley?" The girl nodded in response to Ranielle's question.
"Why can't we go back?" Ranielle shivered as she cried.
"Rani, I tried to keep your heart beating. But it was just too much....."
"Why are we here then? Where are Daddy and Julien?" Miley looked around, puzzled.
"Good question. The only thing I can say is...."
"Is what, Miley?!" Ranielle leapt up and pushed Miley against the wall.
"Is that we aren't dead. We are simply in waiting."
DECLAN
Declan clung to his precious mate, who was growing colder by the minute.
THe doors to the COuncil slammed open. Heavily armed guards fought to restrain Blaze. Declan shook with quiet hatred of the man.
"Your Majesty, the Alpha Blaze Thompson of Frostbitten Pack." The sentienel Turned and sharply marched away. The men unhanded him and marched off behind him.
Blaze dusted his coat. "What is the meaning of this, Councilman Mattias?" THen he caught sight of Declan and Ranielle in the corner. HE paled.
"Sir- i-i-i can explain..." He stuttered. Then Jerad stepped out of the shadows.
"Blaze Thompson," He thundered, his voice heavy with pain and anger.
"King...." Blaze was literally shaking. Declan smiled maliciously. Then, as he held her close, he felt something.
Thud Thud
"Rani?" He whispered.
Thud Thud
He immediately began searching her face. She was warming up, slowly but surely.
Thud Thud
Her lips lightened, and her chest was moving slightly. The blood on her body was dissapating and fading away.
"Jerad!" Declan screamed. The king instantly was at his side, kneeling, his hand on Declan's shoulder.
"What is is, Declan?" He asked quietly. Declan couldn't explain it. His chest was thudding in the exact time of Rani's. He could feel the mate bond, not fully mended, but healing. He continued to search her face, looking for any sign. Then, Declan let his hopes get the best of him.
As he watched, the blue came back to her face, and the blood reappeared on her chest. He frantically felt for the pulse he had felt and then, he felt the most depressing thing of all.
The mate bond dissipated completely.
RANIELLE
Ranielle pounded on the glass walls of her prison, trying to escape. The glass was impenetrable, and she fought it to the best of her ability. Miley stood beside her.
"It's no use, Rani. You died....." Miley said again for the hundredth time. Finally, Ranielle stopped fighting and gave up.
"I never got to kiss him, tell him I loved him, tell him he made me feel safe." Ranielle burst into tears. Her life had meant nothing. Miley sank to the floor next to her.
"I hate to tell you this, Rani, but I have to leave too." Ranielle's head shot up in a flash.
"What?"
"I'm being summoned to be reborn. That's where the idea of soulmates comes from. I've got to go." Miley stood and Ranielle reached out.
"Please don't leave me here!" She cried as Miley vanished through the wall. She took off running and crashed into it.
"DECLAN!" She screamed until her throat hurt and her lungs burned.
"Declan..."
