[Lumine's Pov]

I stood there stunned at Kody's words. I wanted to move or at least say something but my body refused. I could only look at him. His expression was cold and angry, but his eyes were pained and dark. But what surprised me the most was the small water droplets slowly falling down his face. He was crying

My eyes widened. And before I knew it, he dashed away from my sight. 

I felt my legs begin to move and chase after him but I was stopped by a strong arm. I froze before turning to Aiden with questioning eyes. He held a soft smile and calmly removed his arm before gently placing a hand on my shoulder. 

He then lightly spoke. "Lumine, I understand you're worried about Kody but for now let him be. I promise you can check on him soon. For now, I'd like to speak with you." 

For a moment I hesitated. Was letting Kody go the right thing to do?  My mind played with the thought. Aiden knew Kody better than I did. Still...I couldn't help but feel uneasy. 

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked quietly.

"It's about Kody. I want to make sure you know everything you need to." He said, with a meaningful look. 

I gave him a nervous glance. "You're sure Kody will be okay? Shouldn't I apologize to him or at least say something?" 

His smile grew back and he let out a small chuckle. "There's no need to worry Lumine. He'll be fine for now." He then made a gesture that told me to follow him. And without hesitation, I followed.  

We traveled down a few halls before Aiden's footsteps came to a stop. In front of him was a dark chocolate oak door, with a simple frame and a tiny sign that read Office. There was a small click before the door was pushed open. Aiden's hand rested on the doorknob before he calmly walked inside, while I tagged behind him.

The room was welcoming as a warm era spread throughout my body. The feeling of worry was then washed away. I found myself start to relax a bit as I decided to take a quick look around. Large bookshelves stood beside the walls, guarding the books they held. In the center of the room was a simple desk with piles of paper on top, along with two chairs on both sides.

Aiden then took a seat in front of his desk while I sat across from him. 

There was a moment of silence between us and I began to fidget with my fingers. I then looked at Aiden waiting for him to start the conversation. 

He took a long sigh and met my eyes. "Lumine, what I'm about to tell you is important. So please...listen to me carefully." His voice became low that I could hardly hear him. 

I felt myself go stiff at his sudden change in demeanor. And afraid of what to say, I quickly nodded and waited for him to continue.

 "You see...there's something wrong with Kody. If you couldn't tell by now he can't use magic." He stopped and let out a long breath before continuing. "The reason is because...I took most of his magic away." 

My eyes widened. He took Kody's magic away? Why? Why would he do that? I began to wonder. Questions filled clouded my thoughts and I started to get frustrated, and before I could stop myself words began leaving my mouth.

"But why? Why would you do that to Kody? He's your son! How could you do that to him!?" I shouted.

He winced at my comment and I could see the pain in his eyes.

"I know that...but if I didn't do it then, things would've been different." He sighed.

I turned my head in confusion. "What do you mean different?" I asked.

"Everything would be a disaster." He whispered. "If Kody had his magic he'd be to powerful and do terrible things."

From the look on his face I could tell there was something he was hiding, but I decided not to push it. 

"I see...is there something you want me to do?" I asked.

He smiled. "Actually yes. Since Kody was young he was always so distant, that's why I had you become his body guard. I thought you'd make him open out a bit, which he has...but it seems he still is having a hard time." He sighed. "I just want him to be happy again. That's why I wanted to ask you if you could bring out that side of him. I know there's something about you that Kody trusts, so please...take care of him." He said sincerely. 

His words make my body become warm and I couldn't help but smile warmly. 

"I'll do what ever it takes to make Kody happy." I promise.

"Thank you Lumine..."

[Kody's Pov]

I sat on my bedroom floor, hugging my knees hoping the pain in my chest would go away. Tears  begin to prick at the corner of my eyes but I refused to let them fall. But the pain in my chest didn't make it any easier. It was stupid. 

I hated the fact that I was hurt, that I was on the verge of tears over nothing. Apart of me couldn't bring myself to think about what had happened. None the less memories flooded my mind. 

 But before I could do anything I hear a voice that stops me. 

"Look how pitiful you are." A raspy tone spoke up. "You truly are weak, though you've probably already known that." 

I froze. 

"Don't you remember me Kody? I've been apart of you for a long time now, in fact I'm right next to you." 

Quickly I looked besides me trying to see the voice. A cloud of black dust stood over me with deadly looking eyes. I felt my blood turn cold. 

"What the hell do you want!?" I shout.

The voice laughs. "Come on know Kody, I only came to help you."

"I don't need your help. I told you to go away from me." I replied coldly. 

"Listen to me, that pain in your chest is your weakness. And I know how to get rid of it." The spirit speaks. "There's just a few things I need to tell you first."

Before it could say anything else there was a knock on my door. And the black cloud quickly disappeared. A wave a relief fills me before it's soon replaced with dread. I then hesitantly went to open my door. My breath hitches and I couldn't bear to look at the face that stood before me.

"Kody..?"

"Lumine..."
