. Where is it? he mutters as he halts at the icy shore of the lake.Death Walkers creep out from the trees, their black cloaks dragging across the snow, their yelloweyes reflecting against the ice.I shiver as the ground quivers with the beat of their march and whenStephan emerges from the forest, not too far off from where we stand.He has on a black cloak withthe hood over his head and his eyes seem to light up in delight as he takes in the winter wonderland.He motions at someone behind him and out steps a man, much shorter than Stephan, wearing a cloak. Demetrius." My breath fogs out in front of my face as it laces with the arctic air. There it is, my dad mumbles, staring at something near the shoreline just in front of his feet, ablur of colors and shapes.I focus like I ve been taught to do and the colors and shapes alter into two figures that rise up fromthe ground, clutching onto each other for dear life. Oh my God. My heart stops at the sight I ve seen before.Many times.In fact, pretty much everytime I pass out.I throw my hand over my mouth and start to back away.This is what my father erased to create anew path for the world.This is what was going to happen? Alex and I were going to die to save theworld.I painfully understand now, what this means and what it means if I choose the right path.I watch in torment as Alex brushes the vision form of me s hair from my face. It ll be okay, hewhispers softly. How do you know? she says, tears streaming from her eyes. Because I do. Then he kisses her with so much passion that it electrifies the air.He keepskissing her, his hands traveling all over her body as she grips onto his shoulders, fully welcoming thekiss, yet she s scared.The electricity intensifies and then finally Alex pulls back and hugs her againsthim tightly, whispering something in her ear that makes her skin drain of color.But then she sayssomething else that looks like it means everything to her.And as she buries her face into his chest, alight brightening around the two of them, she appears content.I shield my eyes, trying to see what s happening.I ve never gotten past this part in my dreams, but deep down I know why.It s the same reason why when Alex looked in the future mirror, he only sawlight.Because it s the end for both of us. This is what happens right before the portal is about to open& the two of them stop it fromhappening, by sacrificing their own lives? my father whispers under his breath as the light dimsaway.The sun shines brightly from the sky and the snow is melted, the land soaked with theafterglow.The Death Walkers, Stephan, and Demetrius are gone and ash is scattered across theground and floating through the air.Everything is burned except for Alex and the vision form of mesprawled on the grass, our fingers intertwined as we lay side by side, dead.My father shakes his head, tears rolling down his cheek. I m so sorry for letting this happen toyou. He steps toward our bodies, crouches down, and reaches for us, preparing to erase us like I didto myself on the shore.I start to sob uncontrollably. This is what I have to put back, I choke. I have to let this happen.Let Alex and me die, so that the world doesn t freeze over and everyone dies. It s the most difficult decision I ve ever had to make.Either I can walk away and let the worldhead to its frozen death or sacrifice Alex and mine s life so everyone can live.How can I do it? Howcan I kill Alex and myself? I can t do this, I whisper through my tears.But as my father s hand hovers above Alex, I realize what kind of person I am, a life changingmoment that will define me forever.My hand trembles as I reach for my father. I m so sorry, I whisper then place my hand on hisshoulder.He vanishes with a flicker and I collapse to the grass and cry until all the energy drains outof me.Then I curl up into a ball and for once, wish I was still emotionally numb. Chapter 32I wake up at the house, slamming to the floor, but don t open my eyes, even when everyone rushesto me.I can t do it can t face him, so instead I let him carry me to the sofa, pretending I munconscious, while Alex stokes my back.I hate to hear him worried like he is, but opening my eyes means I ll have to explain whathappened.I ll have to tell Alex that we are going to die in the close future and that what I changedback was our deaths.I m not sure how much time goes by, maybe hours, as I stay that motionless, listening to themworry, knowing that eventually I ll have to officially wake up and tell them what I did. Gemma. Alex s breath feathers against my ear as he leans down and in desperation, whispers, For the love of God, please just wake up. His plea tears at my heart and I decide it s time.Opening my eyes, I sit up and he leans back togive me room. Oh, thank God. Aislin presses her hand to her heart, relief sweeping across her face as shesinks down on the coffee table. You re okay, right? She s been crying, eyes red and swollen.I can t look Alex in the eye so I focus on Laylen and Aislin. Yeah, I m fine. What happened? Alex asks, trying to catch my eye. Did you change it or did something& badhappen? He thinks I m upset because my dad turned out to be evil.Part of me wishes that was thecase.I smash my trembling lips together, sucking back the tears, and manage to nod my head once.He hooks his finger under my chin and forces me to look at him. What s wrong? I can tellsomething s bothering you. I stopped him from changing the world s future. I release an uneven exhale. So now it s backto what it was supposed to begin with before my father messed with it. So everything s good. Alex is deciding whether he should be happy or not. The world s notgoing to end? In ice? My father s not going to get what he wants. I squeeze my eyes shut and suck in a deep breath. That s not all. He s hesitant. What else happened? Knowing I should tell him first, I open my eyes and ask Aislin and Laylen, Can you two give us asecond? I need to talk to Alex alone. They give me lost looks at they get up and do what I ask.Laylen looks like I ve wounded him,probably because he thinks I m keeping secrets from him. After the room is cleared, I turn to Alex and gather every ounce of courage I possess. What I hadto erase& what I had to allow to happen& what was originally supposed to happen is that& we&we sacrifice ourselves and die, killing the star with us. He doesn t utter a word.The clock ticking.The wind howling.And I can hear Aislin and Laylenupstairs talking. So we say we love each other, he says with indifference. And then we die and that s that. I nod, unable to speak.More silence goes by and then Alex abruptly gets to his feet. I can t do this, he mutters and thenstorms out of the room and out of the house, slamming the front door behind him and it rattle the entirehouse.Seconds later, Aislin and Laylen come rushing into the room. What happened? Aislin asks, looking around. Where the hell did Alex go? Telling them is less difficult but still hard.When I m done, Aislin runs up to her room sobbinghysterically.Laylen stays with me in the living room, but sits quietly with his arms folded. So that s how it s going to happen, he finally asks in a quiet voice. It doesn t seem fair. I m not sure it really is either, I say, wondering if it s a selfish thing to say or not. But it iswhat it is.No more changing things, not when I know that it ll lead to something good. He drapes his arm around my shoulder and hugs me against him, kissing the top of my head beforeresting his chin on it. Maybe we could fix it& Maybe we can do something else that would keep youguys alive [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
