Chapter 15


(This is the last chapter to this story. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed making it. I do plan to write a second book; however, I still need to plan a bit more to it before I even start the writing, so I will take a small break to get it all together. Well I won't hold you on any longer here is the last chapter.)

I watch the man who called himself Proteus talk with Undine as we waited for Ara and Kai to come and take us to land. When I had woke up I found out both Ryker and Skylar had died. It broke my heart knowing I was the only one left from my family. I could not be mad at Proteus though. He had only been doing what was best, Skylar was unstable and was going to go either way.

It was strange how well my body reacted to Proteus, if he even touches my arm by accident it made me feel like my skin was burning for more. It was far stranger than anything I had ever felt before. His touch did not make me feel sick or even have tremors from.

Undine said it was because I was made for him by the creators. That no matter what, I was his from the moment I was born to the day I die. It seems though I wont die for a long time. Apparently, each gift can live as long as their master can. Until another master is picked or created that gift is with him until the end. Everything was so different and strange. I wasn't trapped anymore. I could move freely.

"What are you thinking about young one?" I jumped from my thoughts when I felt his arms come around me. It felt so right just being there in his arms. Like the world could end tomorrow and I would be fine with it if he held me close.

"Just what has all happened in the past months I have been away from home." I said looking up at him. He had deep blue eyes like the ocean, his hair was a somewhat long black color. He looks almost like a sculptor with how handsome he was.

"Well I hate to break you from it, but your friends are here and waiting to make sure you are fine. The last time they saw you, you were being dragged away by your brothers, right?" he knew he was right, I had gotten use to him knowing everything about me. Even the stuff I didn't want to remember.

I followed him to Undine house where Ara and kai stood with him talking. Ara saw me first and came running over to hug me in a very tight hug. I felt she was going to crush my body with it.

"Don't you ever scare us like that again Raven! We thought we had lost you forever. I don't think we could of ever of made it out of there if it wasn't for your warning." She pulls back slowly, I could see her tears and it melted my heart.

"I'm sorry Ara, Kai. I didn't mean to scare y'all. But know I am safe now. With master here, I do not fear anything." I smiled softly as I watched them. It had been long months away from home and yet now that I stood here with three friends and the man who would be my everything I felt at peace. That nothing could ever bring me down.

That night I laid beside Proteus as we were trying to fall asleep. The ship rocked a little which did not help for me to sleep. I had to much on my mind, but when I did fall asleep I had wished I was awake.

There in the forest field sat the small boy crying watching his mother be killed in front of him. The creature that did it took her blood and throw it all over him.

"Now your eyes match you perfect you disgusting child." It laughed moving to grab his hair and pull the boy up slowly. "You will stop that crying now! No one will save a pathetic child like you. You are worthless and mean nothing to no one."

The creature keeps yelling mean hurtful words to the poor boy who just stared at his mother's body as if it would start moving again any minute. But it didn't, even after the creature started dragging the boy away. He tried to reach for her, but he couldn't with how the monster keep dragging him away. In the darkness nearby, I could see the man I had saw before when this played out last time.

"The next gift will be to far broken to even help stop me." He laughed as he moves towards me, grabbing my chin and smirking.

"I can say, you two can try but you will fail. The prophecies together will not stop the one I have. No one can." He let go to move back into the darkness as the moon shined brightly. I could see the figure in the light again but to me it seems as if it was crying. It could not help yet it could not look away either. It was stuck watching as everything played out.

I woke to the sound of people yelling and turn to see Proteus watching me with a soft smile. His eyes shining so bright, their beautiful color that always made my heart skip a beat. But it didn't this time for I felt to scared to allow any other emotions to get in the way of what I had saw happening.

"They have gotten to the next gift. A red eye Nymph. I think he is of land, but I do not know anything else. We have to find him." I whispered shaking as the tears fell down my face.

"I do believe you are right. That is why we will be looking inland from now on." He said it gently as if I would break if he had said it any other way. Honestly, I was not sure if I would or not. I just knew I wanted to find the boy before his life too became a living hell.
