Tempting Danger!

Chapter 23

"What do you mean you're still dead your standing next to me right now" he says.

Frustration is evident in his voice. He didn't understand what I was saying.
"I died. I'm not alive nor am I completely dead" I say "someone stole my heart and I need it back. I'm here only because the moon goddess gave me a second chance but I don't have much time"

I take his hand and place it over my heart.
"If I don't find my heart very soon I'm going to die permanently. But I can't. Not before I stop the war"

Avour looks down at my chest probably hearing silence and feeling no beats.
I take his hand off and begin walking towards the door.
"Do you love me" he asked softly.

I turned and gave him a small smile.
"With all my heart" I say my voice cracking "but I don't have it anymore"

I pull the door handle and the door opens.
"I'll see you later"

As I walked down the hallway I was conflicted. I wanted to turn back and tell Avour that I love him regardless but I couldn't give him that hope. There's no guarantee that I will make it out alive. I can't let him feel my death twice. I was hoping it would be less painful if he didn't love me like he does. But it doesn't seem like it's gonna be that easy.

After much struggle I eventually find my room. I walk in the room and close the door before sliding down and leaning against it. I sit there for a couple of minutes with my head in my hands. When I look up, a floor length mirror stands in front of me. The chain around my neck bounces light off and to the mirror.

It reminded me of Hunter. The last time I saw him was the day I died. The wheels in my head start turning as my eyes widen. Could it be that he was involved in my death. But why would he want me dead. I never did anything to him.

I reach for the chain and when the tips of my fingers touch it I gasp. Time seems to stop all around me and my breath is sucked out of my body. My eye sight disappears and is replaced by something completely different from the room.

Dante throws a massive punch at my face. I stumbled and try to regain my balance. How was I back here. But I wasn't looking at everything through my own eyes. They were someone else's. I couldn't move just look.

That's when I saw Dante dig his hand into my chest. It was painful to see as it was painful to feel. I could see my eyes begging for mercy but he was not as kind. After he ripped out my heart I started to moved. Or whoever I was started to move. They pushed through the people until they were at the very front.

Dante suddenly returned to his normal state and cried for me. I remembered how the color of his eyes had changed. He really was under a spell.

My heart was still beating as it taken from his hand by uncle Isaac. They were planning to put it back into my body. My vision started becoming blurry because I was moving so fast. The person's eyes I was looking through grabbed my heart and ran. They were so fast. The pack started chasing after him but he jumped off Saul's cliff. He swum to the other side and jumped out the cold water. They were definitely a vampire otherwise he wouldn't have survived the fall. The person looked back at the water and I gasped.

I was suddenly thrown back into reality and my ears were ringing. I screamed so loud that the mirror in front of me shattered into a million pieces. I collapsed onto the floor and everything went dark.

Avour's POV

I stood in my room unable to say anything. I still couldn't understand what the hell was happening. When I was in highschool I read about the moon goddess giving people second chances to fix their mistakes but I never thought it was true.Yet here it was happening in front of me.
