I chase after her in confusion "Klara," I shout but she doesn't stop she just keeps running up the steps. I stumble trying to run up the steps all kinds of thoughts popping into my head of what that memory could have meant.
She goes into her room and stands on her bed. I look at her in confusion as she starts walking to the painting hanging above the bed and takes it down. When she takes the painting down I notice that there are bookshelves that are within the wall.
She looks through the shelves and grabs what she is looking for before getting back down on the ground again. I stare at her waiting for her to give me some kind of explanation but she just keeps pacing up and down the room reading from the scroll and mumbling things under her breath.
"What is that you are reading from?" I ask.
"It's a diary."
"You kept a scroll as a diary?" I ask in confusion. She doesn't say anything instead

Ri drives the car down a narrow road that is surrounded by forestry. Soon a gate comes into view and as the car gets closer to it I notice an intricate sword pattern on the gate.Ri rolls down the window and presses a button on the intercom box. "James open up," he says."With pleasure Mr. Evrad," the man named James says, and the gates part in the center of the sword design.He drives in along the gravel pathway up to a mansion. The house is built with yellow bricks and is designed like a castle."This place is beautiful," I gawk looking out my window. Ri turns off the car's ignition and opens the car doors with a push of a button.Eager to take in my surroundings I jump out of the car. When my foot hits the ground I can hear the crunch of the fresh grass beneath my shoe. The sound of water gets my attention and when I turn it's a fountain. An angel sits in the middle of it as she pours t

I can't feel Orion's energy so that means he hasn't appeared yet. I rush to the end of the bridge. The bridge is guarded by two sentries on either side. The sentry is a being that is cloaked from head to toe and there were often rumors that they were not human, but were created by the goddess of the night herself.I always looked at them from afar. I never went close enough because there was no reason for me to be standing at the end of the bridge.The sentry is tall and looms over me. "Yes," its voice is deep and holds a bit of mystery to it."I want off this bridge," I say so sternly that I don't even recognize my voice.The sentry makes a growling noise as it lowers its head to me."Are you sure? It is suicide for any jumper to leave the bridge.""Yes lift the barrier.""Very well," The sentry does a complicated spell mo

It's been two days since I've seen Ri. He hasn't made the jump for the last two nights and I can't stop thinking about him. The way his eyes turned cold and his jaw clenched when I told him I didn't need him around all the time. I have this constant urge to find him. He is calling out to me subconsciously.I walk to my locker and take out my earphones when I hear Morgan scream for me."Zel hide me!" She screams as she runs down a busy hallway filled with students who all turn their attention to her."Morgan, what happened?" I ask and she pulls me into a vacant classroom and shuts the door."He is looking for me," she whispers."Why don't you just give him an answer," I whisper back."Because I'm so confused Zel I mean it's Fabian he is so unpredictable. He sent a mariachi band to my house Zel. A freaking mariachi band!" she says covering her face with her hands and letting out a groan.

After the debate on who was the better-looking brother. Luke ended up driving to the lighthouse. "How is Anna?" Luke asks glancing at Ri from the side. Ri doesn't answer and looks out the car window. "You two used to be inseparable when we first moved here," Luke presses."That was a long time ago," Ri says abruptly."If you say so," Luke says and drops the topic.Finally, we arrive at the beach and I immediately jump out of the car. The lighthouse isn't that far from where I'm standing so I begin to walk on my own. It's warm out today. I finally reach the lighthouse and wait for the boys."Wrong lighthouse sweetheart," Luke says walking past me."What?" I ask in confusion."The one we were talking about is farther down the beach. No one goes there," he says not turning around."Urgh," I moan. I'm not an exercise kind of person.After a fe

I walk into the house and lean on the kitchen counter. Kyra shuts the door and comes to stand in front of me. I run my hand over my face as I try to arrange my thoughts of today. "What?" I question if I heard her right. "A book was written by the creator?" I repeat in shock."The book contains a spell to trap a god in his or her respective realm for all of eternity."The door bursts open getting our attention and our heads snap up."Look I don't care what kind of deal Zel made with you but it's not happening. She is just a child," Klara says emotion straining her voice."She has been on this earth for eighteen years hasn't she?" Kyra knowingly asks and Klara doesn't answer. "Didn't the mortals declare that at eighteen you are no longer a child?" Kyra furthers."Look I don't care what the 'mortals declared'," Klara mocks. "She is still a child and I'm telling you she made the wrong choice!" Klara yells

Focus Zelenia!" Kyra yells from across the room. We were currently in the lounge with the curtains down and the furniture pushed to the corner of the room so we had space to train.Last night when we came back from Clive's, Ri and Luke were gone. I wanted to speak to Ri again, but I guess he had enough for one day and left.Kyra takes advantage of my lack of focus and conjures up three orbs of golden light and with a swift movement of her wrist. The orbs hover in front of her waiting for her command to be set and before I can think of what to do the orbs all come hurtling towards me at once.I dodge the first two by moving out of the way just in time but the last one gets me and collides with my bare shoulder. It hurts. It hurts like hell."Argh," I groan clutching my shoulder in pain. "How can I focus when you keep hitting me with blasts of magic like that."She shrugs and the look of smu

Ri dropped me off at home after our conversation. Both of us were adamant about refusing to give in to each other's wishes so the car ride was spent in silence because there was nothing else left to say.I currently sit in my room by myself. Solitude gives me peace, it gives me time to arrange my thoughts and give myself the mental pep talk I need. The house is silent and I rest my back on the headboard as I listen to the wind whistle and stare at the curtains that move ghostly across my window revealing glimpses of a full moon.A gentle knock on my door startles me and causes me to jump out of my bed like a spooked cat. I stare at the door for a second. I was not ready to face whoever was on the opposite side. I didn't feel like getting a lecture from Klara nor was I in the mood to argue with Kyra.I reluctantly pull open the door and come face to face with the fresh air. No one was here. I took a step out of my doorway t

"Move," I yell as I run towards Ri and tackle him to the ground before the ball of energy collides with him."Oof." He loses balance and falls causing me to fall on top of him. "Zel," he says in shock and then looks up at me. "You crushing my ribs," he says taking a sharp intake of air."Weakling." I stand and dust my hands off. I'm exhausted we have been at it for hours."Hey it's not my fault you way a ton," he says."Are you trying to say that I'm fat!""Oh, no I'm not trying to say anything," he says standing up."So you saying it then!"The sound of hysterical laughter gets both of our attention and we turn around to see Kyra hunched over in laughter. "You two are something," she says and bursts into laughter again."Take a break. Tonight is the night we get your mother," she says looking at me. "Your goddess," she says looking at Ri
