Emilia appears infront of us.
"What are you doing?
Why are you doing this?" Emilia asks.
I was paralyzed from the dark magic.
"Don't you realise you are hurting innocent people.... for nothing?" Emilia asks Brandon.
Brandon looks at Emilia as tears fill his eyes.
"Im... so... so.. sorry." Brandon chokes out.
He looks at Lily, then at Anne, then at the police officer, then at me.
"I'm going to give you once chance, to make this right. One chance, okay?"

Brandon nods at Emilia.
"Okay." He replies.
Emilia hugs him.
"I miss you." Brandon says.
"I miss you too" Emilia replies.
Emilia steps away from the hug.
Brandon slowly removes the knife from my hand and the dark magic slowly drains out.
Time starts rewinding backwards.
Max has just finished reading the letter.
His eyes are a little bit red.
Anne smiles
"Thats really sweet of her." She says.
Max starts sobbing and Anne hugs him. Max quickly pulls me and Shirley into the hug. I towered over all of them with my height. I was 6"0 by the time I was 18 and everybody else was 14/15 years old. I felt so old.
I herd footsteps walking down the stairs. My heart stopped.
I knew that was Lily..
I knew it was time for them to meet once again.
Lily appears near the staircase.
Anne gasps and Lily's eyes widen.
Lily starts to tear up.
"Oh my god. Anne? Is that really you?" Lily asks.
Anne nods and runs to Lily.
They both hug.
Anne looks at Lily.
"How did you.."
Lily looks directly at me and my face starts turning red.
"She... saved me.." Lily says.
Anne looks at me.
"You're a real life saver Jess. You really are." Anne says to me, smiling.
Max grumbles a bit and Anne's smile fades.
"What happened?" She asks.

"Lily.. mum.. she"
Lily nods to Max.
"I...I know... I- herd it from upstairs."
Something tells me she also remembers the time going back.
"What now?" Max says. "We can't live here on our own."
"I know! Maybe you guys can live with my dad? I mean.. he's already adopted me. I think it'll be okay if you guys slept at my house."
I look around and suddenly realise that the cop is gone.. strange..
"And.. my dad will be able to.. meet you." Anne says to Lily.
Lily smiles widely.
"That's a great idea!" She says.
"Im.. okay with it." Max says.
Lily walks upstairs with Anne.
"Im kinda tired.." I tell Shirley.
"Mhm.. me too.. " She replies.
"You guys.. go ahead. I think we worked enough on the project." Max says quickly.
Shirley smiles. Max looks at her.
He leans in and kisses Shirley on the cheek.
"See you." He says, starting to blush furiously.
Shirley starts blushing too.
"I love you, Max." She says.
Max smiles.
"I.. Love you too." He replies.
I found this all adorable but... a tired Jess is a moody Jess.. so you better take her to sleep. Shirley takes me home and lets me sleep on the couch.

The sharp blade hits my neck and i'm knocked to the floor. Raven picks me up by my neck. My eyes look into his. My eyes where begging for mercy, but Raven had none.
He snaps my neck in half and throws me back onto the sand.
A while after a rift opens. Matt hops out, laughing madly and picks me up. He throws me into the rift.
"Target down?" He asks.
"Yep, another one down." Raven replies.
"She seemed pretty weak anyways." Matt says.
"Yes.. but somehow she knew my name.." Raven says.
"How? Everybody just knows you as the demon lord." Matt says, clearly confused.
"I'm not sure if I should have killed her." Raven says suddenly.
"I'm sure it won't make a difference. It's just a little girl." Matt says.
"Ye.. you're right.. it's just a little girl.. not like its going to effect me in any way." Raven says.
"You don't really sound like you are convincing yourself, Raven." Matt says to Raven.
"No, no it's fine.. she was my target and she went down. That's all.. like the rest of all my targets." Raven says.
"What was her name?" Matt asks.
"Jessil Oceons, I beleive." Raven says.
"I dont think ive herd that name.." Matt says.
"You sound unsure, Matt." Raven says to him suspiciously.
"What are you talking about? How can that little girl ever be useful to me in life, ever?" Matt asks.
"Maybe not now.." Raven says.
"Are you saying that you shouldn't have killed her?" Matt says.
"I dont know.. I just have a slight feeling that she could've done something for me.." Raven says.
"Oh come on Raven.. its a little girl." Matt says.
"But ive never felt this way about a target before." Raven says.
"Maybe because it's a child?" Matt asks.
"What? No." Raven replies.
"Are you feeling BAD for the child?" Matt laughs out.
"Why should I? Its just a little girl." Raven says.
"Now thats the Raven we all know." Matt.
He didnt add on "and love".
"I shall be leaving now, Raven." Matt says.
"Goodbye Matt."
"Goodbye Raven."
Matt leaves, leaving Raven to think alone on the sand.
"That still doesn't explain how she knew my name." I herd him mumble to himself

I wake up, hearing the sound of a "thud". Shirley must have closed a door loudly.
I get up and go check on shirley.
She was in her bedroom doing homework. I go check on Ethan.
"Hi Jess!" He says.
"Hello Ethan, watchu doin?" I ask.
"Just playing with my dinosaurs." He says.
He had a dinosaur plush in his hands.

He had several other dinosaurs but this one was by far his favourite one

"Cool. Do you need anything?" I ask.
"Well.. peace between you and the mermaid pod." Ethan says, sighing.
I was about to tear up.
"I know.. I wish I could have that too.. but you know you can't have everything in life." I tell him.
"I know.." he says.
"Do you want anything else?" I ask.
"No. Nothing else. Im pretty happy the way I am." He says.
I love how much Ethan appreciated everything.
"Okay. Ill be leaving now. Goodbye."
"Bye Jess." Ethan says.
I close the door shut behind me and go get changed.
I went outside to do my usual jog or run. In this case, it was just jogging.
There was a soft breeze in the air.
I jog slowly into the forest and after a while stop for a break.
I look into my bag and take out my book and water bottle.
Suddenly, the wind factor completly changes and the wind gets stronger.
I sit down on a bench. The wind gets stronger and stonger and pushes me off the bench.
I fall on the floor and drop my book.
"Shit.."
I knew that the wind didnt just change suddenly by itself.
The wind opens a page on my book and I look at the first line.

And to have that feeling that he's always there for me, always watching over me, gives me hope..

"Who- who's there?" I ask nervously.
The winde flips the pages.

I love you.

A smile appears on my face.
"Lukas? Where are you?" I ask.
The book flips into another page.

I don't know where I am.

"Lukas are you okay?" I ask.
The book flips a page again.

Im lost

"Oh, okay. You know what? I'm coming to look for you." I say.
Immediatly the book flips to another page before I could get up.

In your heart.

The book flips another page.

I can't find my way out of it!

My heart stops for a second and I smile. I didnt understand how Lukas was doing it since he couldnt read. But im sure he could find a way.
I look around.

"So you wanna play hide and seek?
Well im going to find you!" I say.
I suddenly stop.
"Unless you are invisible. Then that would be unfair."
The book flips a page.

Come and get me.

He couldn't have been hiding far off. The best way to find him was to probably climb a tree.
I look up the nearest tree. Nobody was there. I decide to climb it anyways and look around from up there.
Im coming to find you, Lukas.
