To Save Five Souls

Welcome Back

"Bianca?" Drew repeats.

Bianca looks at Drew then starts sobbing. Her tears were mixed with dirt and dried blood.

Drew seeing Bianca for the first time in years, probably felt so unreal to him. He was finally reunited with his soulmate. The one person he loved to death, literally.

Everyone was silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Bianca's face was a mess. The two of them stared at each other like they had fallen in love all over again. The tension was so strong, you could smell it.

All of a sudden, Bianca runs over to Drew. "Drew I thought I would never see you again." She throws herself into Drew's warm arms, where she felt the most safe.

To Bianca, Drew was her protector. Seeing Bianca and Drew finally together again, was like a dog finding their owner after they went missing.

A muffled cry escaped Bianca's mouth. The group and I watched, amazed, as Bianca cried into Drew's arm. Drew fell against a wall with her in his arms as he tried his best to not sob in front of all of us.

He looked at her, with such peace on his face. Like he had finally found the piece in his puzzle that he had been missing all this time. The relief that sat on his face was hard to ignore.

I can't believe it. Bianca was in Luna's cell all along. That's why she disappeared for so long because she was here.

Bianca lets out one more sigh before she looks at Drew, smiling. She stares at his lips before pulling him to her lips. Her faces gripped his face hard, them almost turning white from the strength she used.

Drew closed his eyes. His hands on her shoulders. He tried his best not to hurt her because of how fragile she was. Bruises, scraps, scratches, etc were all over her body. I felt bad for the poor girl.

After being locked up in a cell for so long, if she wanted to be with Drew, her soulmate, then so be it.

Drew pulls away and looks at her, smiling. "We're gonna get you out of here, I promise." Then he kisses her bruised forehead. She giggles. "I knew you were gonna come back to me. I missed you so much Drew you have no idea" Their foreheads collide with each other.

I didn't notice I was crying tears of joy until Delilah hugs me. "I can't believe it," she whispers. "Those poor girls," her voice felt weak and raspy from tonights events.

Drew turns around to face Maya and Eli. "Guys we should get out of here before Luna finds us." We all nod in agreement.

Eli walks out first with Madeline in his arms. Maya, Delilah, and Ashley leave. Drew picks Bianca up. I watch as she closes her eyes and tries to breathe it all out. I force a small smile at Drew.

Drew looks at me like he didn't even know who I was. I was just some random person he saw. He breaks his eye contact with me as he walks out.

When we got back to the dining room, Luna wasn't there. "Be careful out in the halls." I say softly as we all make our way out.

We were all covered in blood and looked like shit.

We eventually get back to the dorm.

Drew and Eli lie Bianca and Madeline down. Drew doesn't take his eyes off Bianca who was sleeping. He made sure she was alright. Madeline instantly fell asleep.

"We all need to clean up." I suggest.

"But it's midnight and the bathrooms are closed." Maya states.

I sigh. "Let's just change in the corner or something."

We stand there for a moment really processing what just happened. Lots of stuff went down tonight and we all weren't ready for it. Drew found Bianca in a cell that Luna had trapped under the ground. Also Madeline. I can't imagine what Luna and the guards did to them. They must be scared to death.

We took turns changing and getting into better clothes.

Our dresses were stained in blood and were covered in dirt. I'd never wear this dress again due to the events that happened in it. The black bow in the middle of my dress was untied, and some of the fabric at the bottom was ruined.

Maya let Bianca and Madeline borrow some clothes. Drew and Delilah took care of their wounds on Bianca's and Madeline's body.

It was a long night and even though we didn't find the wood hive we found Bianca and Madeline. Then we also had to visit that psychic for a pendulum. Lots of things were happening.

Good and bad things but in the end, no one important died which was good. It'll take Bianca and Madeline a few days to go back to normal and we don't want to pressure them to say anything.

We should probably wait a couple of days. We all deserve a break because we've been through a lot. I have to also focus on my classes or I can get kicked out. I'm already on Luna's bad side now.

The question is where did she go tonight? She escaped before she saw much go down. It's only a specific amount of time before she finds out that my soul is connected to my necklace. We're all on her death list and if we ever show our face to her, she'll kill us.

We're all in some deep shit right now. But we're in too deep to just give up now. The point is we still have time. I still have time. We can find the wood hive. We will find the wood hive.

I guess my shots with Drew were off now. Even though I was dating Adam I couldn't help but gain a tiny crush on Drew. But he loves Bianca. I don't blame him. What they had was magical and I don't want to get in the way. Drew belongs to Bianca now. He always had.

I can't do anything about it.
