The streets are empty and homes have been destroyed. I stand alone in the town centre waiting for the darkness to meet me. I am still pregnant and that means I need to be careful so I am a little anxious and concerned about the safety of the baby. But, I have no choice I have to risk everything including myself in order to protect the things and the people that I love.

  I have left a note for James under my pillow just in case anything happens to me. As if I get hit I have cast a spell that will protect the baby and keep her alive for up to 4 hours, even if I have been killed. I needed to do something to protect the people that I love and who I have promised to protect even if that means I lose my life in the process then that is what I will do.

The letter is shown below:

I stand strong in the street as I watch the darkness creep closer and closer towards me, I am strong and alive and I will not die

I stand strong in the street as I watch the darkness creep closer and closer towards me, I am strong and alive and I will not die. I kept repeating this in my head to try and calm my mind so that I could get better control over my powers and that when the darkness took the first strike. I didn't even hear James come up and stand behind me until he said 'Look out.' Of course I had already seen the ball of dark mist heading straight towards me and I just stood there. So to James it looked like I was going to let it hit me when the truth was that I knew the baby would backfire it and I didn't plan on using any of my magic until the very end. This way I would be able to wound it with its own defences and still have all of my energy. You may be thinking what about the baby's energy, well the baby is harnessing power from me and I am harnessing power from James and the earth so she will all be fine. I know what I am doing. The ball was getting closer and I stood still and as it got to the point of nearly touching me the baby created a shield that reflected the mist so that it flew back and hit the darkness.

   The darkness is immobilized, parts of it has started to die. It has taken 10 blows of its own defences and now it's time for me to stand up and finally fight.  Moonshine is behind me with her pack and just before I take control of this battle and bring it to an end the pack are going to use their magic to wound the darkness even more. Hopefully this will give me enough time to cast my spells.

Now it is my turn to take control and just before I do I turn around to face James and mouth to him 'I love you'. I turn back around so that I am facing the darkness and say '
Unda Lucis, Comminiet autem, et flammis' I can feel my body beginning to weaken and the dizziness that is trying to take over me but I have to finish the spell even if it kills me. 'Interficientes'. A wave of light magic flows from me and straight into the soul of the darkness...

I don't see the end. Everything is turning dark. My eyes have started to droop and all I want to do is sleep. I am tired and need peace, rest...darkness.
