Healers blood

Chapter 16 Andrew

I think Jayce might know about Zinnia and I, but I really don't care. This is all my fault if I never would have predicted his future he never would have died. Zinnia is already fast asleep and since Jayce probably knows about us I've decided to stay here when I lay down Zinnia curls up next to me trying to keep warm. The days have been getting colder and the nights even more so. We have the only room in the cabin with a fireplace. I listen to the wood crackles on the fire as I try to fall asleep, but every time I close my eyes I see my bones being torn from my skin. I rub my fingers that now have scars on them and my knee and arm the image of bone intertwined with flesh is still petrifying. Ana's asleep now to so is Jayce they were crying all night because of Dominick and, Chloe, and May. Sylvie fell asleep a little bit before everyone else. Zinnia's leg was burnt from her own flame and a knife was jamed in her leg not that long after. Zinnia wakes up and looks at me. "You're still awake Andrew you're safe I'm safe everyone here is safe" Zinnia says her gold eyes almost match the flame of the fire. She is the flame after Dominick's death she cut her hair off. Now it is a boy cut and is brown, her face still looks soft however. She always complains that it looks bad, but it really doesn't.
"I just keep thinking Dominick's death was all my fault that if I didn't tell him his future none of this would have happened". I tell her and she smiles at me.
"Andrew if all this was your fault believe me I would have been gone by now taken away, by super blood" She says and I realize she's right, if super blood really wanted to hurt me they would have taken her away. Mother would never have shown me mercy. Instead Zinnia is here safe. We fall asleep my nightmares are way worse then before this is Zinnia being hurt and experimented on. I wake up and Zinnia is still here I lay back down and go to sleep after that I have no more nightmares and I can sleep peacefully only the memory of my mother still hangs over my head. When I wake up Jayce is there.
"Morning" He says and starts to laughs I can't help, but laugh either.
"Is that Harry Potter" I say in a sleepy voice.
"Do you know were Zinnia is" Jayce asks me and a feeling of nervousness goes through me.
"She was right here" I say then I get up putting on a pair of shoes and running out in the cold with a pair of pajama bottoms and a tee shirt. I go by the cliff and there at the bottom was a field of yellow flowers and her body lying among them. Jayce runs out after me I jump off the cliff wanting to plunge to my death but I can't Jayce grabs my arm pulling my shoulder I whines in pain then I cry. Now I truly know how Warren felt and Sylvie. To lose someone you love is worse than any other thing conceivable to man. Jayce grabs my other hand and pulls me up. I scratch my knee on the cliff edge. When I reach the top. Jayce is there looking down at the cliff in shock. Then he shakes his head. She would never do that. I think to myself someone made her do it someone got into her head. That is not Zinnia. "That is not Zinnia" I say in a quiet voice.
"What did you say" Jayce says now he looks angry.
"That's not Zinnia" I say louder "Zinnia would never did something like that no matter how sad or depressed she became" I say my voice is filled with power.
"That is her she's down there right now, do you not see her". Jayce say he points down at the body by the cliff.
"I see a person's body that looks like her I don't see her" I say getting frustrated he doesn't believe me. Zinnia isn't dead. She can't be. Is she?
