Daymon and I stand there, staring blankly at the spot where Philip and Olivia once stood. My mind starts forming questions that I don't have the answer to. How is Philip human? Did the Demone turn him human? Is Philip just like Olivia, with her powers and such? What plan was Philip talking about? Where is Olivia?
"Something much bigger is going on", Daymon whispers. That reminds me of when I first arrived back to my kingdom, and the soldier who was injured told me about my father. How he said something bigger was coming. Well, now I believe him. The Demone is coming.
"Yes, I believe there is", I reply.
Daymon turns to look at me, he hold both of my hands in his, "Mal, what are we going to do".
I think about what our next move should be, but it's obvious. We carry out the plan Olivia gave us. Daymon and I will go back into the ocean and find my father, explain everything to him. Then, once we know where Lila is we will go find her.
"We go to my father".
"What about Olivia?", Daymon's voice holds concern.
"I want to go after her, but we don't know where she is, we don't know where Philip took her. Once we know her location, both of us will rescue her from the Demone". My voice is strong when I say those words.
"Ok". Daymon kisses my forehead, then turns to walk up the stairs.
I turn the opposite direction and go outside. I walk along the shoreline, letting the cold water tickle my bare feet. Everything that has happened these past few days starts to put pressure in my mind. I start jogging, wishing that I could run away from all of my pain and worry. Looking up I see another seagull soaring, my feet break into a run. Opening my arms wide I follow the bird. Adrenaline pumps through my body and I go faster and faster, until I start to run out of shore line. I slow down, then stop, watching the bird fly away. As the seagull flys away, I feel as though it is taking all of the pressure from my mind with it.
I know everything will work out, and that Daymon and I will successfully carry out Olivia's plan. And that we will be able to save Olivia from the Demone. That sweet peaceful feeling swells in my chest, of comfort.
I must carry out this plan.
For Olivia.
