Chapter 22
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

Going into battle with Rizor took its toll on me. When I saw my mother walk up the steps it proved all my efforts to be worth it. I could only describe that moment as a dream. A figment of my imagination showing me my deepest wants.It seems like a happy ending, but something doesn't sit right with me. I'm happy, too happy and I know there's a storm coming. I can feel it in my bones. As I stand in front of my full body mirror and look at the dress Morgan and I got from the mall yesterday. I don't feel like how I used to before. I feel different, I feel at peace. My thoughts are finally at bay and my mind is free to think frivolously.The dress I'm wearing is cut in a sweetheart neckline and is covered with silver diamantes. The train of the dress is an oceanic blue and my gloves are silver and come up to my elbows.A slight knock on my door gets me to turn around and see my mother standing there. "Wow," she says and a sing

...The night it all started...A ray of light shines on where I stand. The rest of my surroundings are plunged into looming darkness. The only sound is the sound of water dripping from the ceiling.A cold gust of wind whips past me, lifting every hair off my skin and leaving goosebumps in its trail. I turn in a full circle to take in my surroundings and then I see it. Something is moving in the impending darkness and it's watching me."I have waited so long for this," I hear it say and the figure in the darkness swiftly moves again."Wh..who said that?" I stutter as I begin to turn in a circle. I try to catch a glimpse of it in the darkness and when I see it. I can't help the gasp of terror that escapes my lips. A creature standing tall like a man but with no human facial features lurking in the darkness. His red glowing eyes shining as he keeps them fixed on me.I take a

Seven years later...I look up at the dark somber sky, its two moons illuminate the realm. It's a vast, starless void and I believe the sky alone holds many secrets.For one, the reason why the realm of the night has two moons instead of one. Klara told me it's because each moon represents a celestial being's presence in the realm.The red moon represents the ruler of the afterlife who is said to be trapped somewhere in this realm due to injuries he sustained eons ago, but how true can the tale of the red moon be when it was practically passed through a grapevine.The silver moon represents the moon goddess, the goddess of the night. Her moon is the brightest and is the only provider of light in this realm.I look at my partner Orion who is watching the dream sea

Wearing the emerald moonstone is like my equivalent of sitting in a naughty corner. It's the realms most nauseating feeling. Instead of jumping it's like my consciousness is trapped in a dark room unable to escape. So there is no point in laying back in my bed and closing my eyes. The notion would seem tedious.I sit at my work desk in my bedroom trying to finish all my homework. I manage to somehow complete my paper on the brain and move on to English. I hear a slight knock on my bedroom door. "Zel, can I come in?" Klara asks."Nope," I say and turn back to write my essay. She doesn't listen to me because she comes right in with a tray of food. She sets the tray of pancakes and hot chocolate on the side of my table and the sweet smell of chocolate mixing with vanilla and peppermint is enough to have my stomach growling and mouth salivating.'Don't look at it,' I tell myself.But it's so beaut

The silence is spine-tingling. The suspense has Ri and I turning around with each step we take forward. The place looks like a run-down mansion or a very small hotel."Watch my back," Ri says and goes for the handle of the door. The door creaks open and a warm red light illuminates the darkroom. It's a fireplace. The crackling fire fills the silence. We walk into the room and a scream erupts causing us to freeze on the spot."Ahhhhhhhh! Omg, oh, my freaking god! Like what the, I can't even right now!," A feminine scream rips through the air and I turn around just in time to see someone run past the doorway of the room we in. The house settles into silence again and I take a cautious step forward."Let's go find the girl," I whisper to Ri. We walk back into the main large room. There are two doors at the far end of the room. Ri and I share an uneasy look for we know what it means."This is crazy. Don't you
