Talia Baccari

"Sweetie are you sure about this?" My mother asked me as I packed my last bag. "Yes mom, I need this. Grandma told me that she will train me how to use my powers properly so what has happened for the past few weeks won't ever happen again."

She let out a sighed, "It's just that you've grown close to these people here. When you go to our world you won't have any friends there."

I zipped up my bag and stared at my mom, "Friends?" I laughed as my eyes became watery, "Every time I'm near them I constantly get looks from them, like I'm some monster. I don't belong here!" I shouted at her.

"Can you at least say bye to Scott. This whole time he has been trying to get you back to your normal self. Leaving now when he finally has you back is not fair."

I let out a soft breath. "Fine I will. Can you tell grandma and Amelia to wait here till I get back?" I asked and she nodded.

With a wave of my hand, purple smoke surrounded me, teleporting me in front of the McCall house. I walked up to the front door, my body frozen in place, unable to knock on the door. I couldn't face Scott' mother after what I've done to her.

I engulfed myself with purple smoke, teleporting to his room. I stood there, standing in the middle of his room, my anxiety level rising.

He then came out of his bathroom, a shocked expression on his face. "Where the hell did you come from?"

"I..I teleported here." I stuttered. "Why are you here?" He asked. I gestured my hand towards his bed, asking him if I could take a seat and he nodded. I sat at the edge of his bed, "I'm leaving. I don't know for how long I am gonna be gone, I just came here to say goodbye."

He took a seat next to me, his hands held together. The room was filled with silence, an awkward silence. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything and I hope that you can forgive me." I spoke up.

He turned to face me. "I forgive you. But I don't fully trust you." I turned to him, confused at what he meant. "I care about you Talia, I really do but right now after everything we've been through I just can't be with you right now. You knew who the Darach was! You could've told me and we could've saved those people. You did the Dark Ritual which turned you into a completely new person—"

"Scott I had no choice!" I cut him off. He stood up from his bed. "Yes you did! There is also a choice! I could've helped you somehow."

I was about to speak but Scott cut me off. "And do you know what hurt the most. You saw how stressed I was about the whole sacrifices. My mom, my best friend's dad, my ex's dad, and my boss got kidnapped and you knew that they were going to be and didn't bother to tell me."
