This is the is the sequel to "Heroes at Heart," I suggest that you read that first, or you may have a hard time understanding.
I am not who I was three months prior to this. I am merely a shell of what I used to be. Three months ago, I made a choice that dictated my future. I may never have any thing to remind me of what my life used to be. But, that is okay, for I am no longer Emily Crater, the short brunette girl with blue eyes that had a part time job as a barista, I am now Madeline Jackson, and this is my story of how I am running away from myself. How I am moving on.
Three months ago, I lost the love of my life. One simple mistake took her away from me, my happiness, my everything. My parents caused all of this. When Emily left it opened all of our eyes. When she left, something inside of me broke. Emily left, taking a piece of my heart with her. My name is Lucas Greene, and I will find Emily, even if it kills me.
Three months ago, my sister left us, all of us. Three months ago, I realized that the things you may hate about a person, are the things you miss the most when they are gone. At the time, The Elite Force and I were fighting The Crazed Duo. I would have never thought that Emily was Scarlet Sea. I called her a monster, but she forgave me. If, no when I get Emily back, I am never letting her go, Emily, I am sorry, this is Veronica, please, just come home.
Three months ago, Emily left me. I failed her, as her best friend and her accomplice. I was not a good person around Emily when I was Witch Flame. If only I had known that our parents were behind Lucas's 'death.' I am sorry Emily, and I understand if I never receive your forgiveness, it's LIly, and I just wanted to let you know that we all miss you.

"I don't know what to do Xavier..." I cry uncontrollably into his chest as he holds onto me for dear life. "I know love. I know."
"I'm such a bother to yall." I choke out. "I'm so fucking weak. I can't even defend myself." Xavier's arms unwrap from my body, and his hands hold my teary face. "I'm a worthless h-human." Xavier furrows his eyebrows in pain. A tear of his own falling down his face.
"No," he says shaking his head. "No. You've never been a bother to me. You aren't weak. And you most certainly aren't worthless." I gasp to breathe, and he continues talking. "What you are is an amazing person who hasn't let all of this crazy bullshit affect her. You handled it like a champ. What you are is a strong, brave being that has stood by my side." I breathe as he leans closer.
"What you are, is the love of my life...."
