New Fanfic

Hi guys! So I'm hooked onto Caster Chronicles now. Here's my second CC fanfic. Hope u guys enjoy.

Lena's POV

Life sucks.

One minute, you're enjoying life with the people you love and care about, the next, you hear something that ruins that occasion.

It happened to me.

I still remembered what I heard a few nights ago. I kept it secret from everyone: Ridley, Uncle Macon, Link, even Ethan. I didn't want them to know.

I didn't want to hurt anyone else. Especially Ethan.

Ever since I got back from the Great Barrier and the Order was broken, I felt guilty everytime I thought of Ethan. I left him behind and ran off with John to the Barrier, where I had nearly been Claimed as Dark. Ethan saved me from that fate, but I never got over the fact I had dumped him just like that.

Now that I was hiding this secret from him, I felt more guilty.

And it was beginning to tell. He could tell I was different, that I wasn't acting like how I would normally. He could tell I was drifting away. Kelting didn't work because I just ignored him. Not out of spite, but for his feelings.

So that's why he cornered me one day after Trig.

"Ok, Lena. Spill. What's going on?"

I tried to get away, but he held my arm.

"Let go, Ethan. You can't help me with this." I tried to chase him away.

"No, L. I'm not letting go. Just tell me, and I swear I'll try to help."

"You can't! That's what I'm saying!" I yelled. The lightbulb above us shattered, as though I was angry at the bulb, rather than at Ethan.

"Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"Because I love you, L. And you can tell me anything." He replied.

Maybe there was something about his voice, or maybe the way he said it, but after hearing what he said, I decided to tell him.

"I'm the One Who Is Two."

Silence. Just the kind of reaction I was expecting.

The same reaction I had when I heard it from the Lilum.

"No...It can't be." He stuttered out.

"It is."

See? That's why I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want to hurt you.

So you kept this a secret?

I'm sorry, Ethan. I really am. It's just...after the Great Barrier, I didn't want to hurt your feelings further.

And you thought holding this secret would help?

...No.

Ethan was silent for a while, and I waited for those inevitable words: that we're done.

What he did next took me completely by surprise.

He leaned over and kissed me.

What?

L, listen. I don't care if you're the One. I still love you, and I'm not breaking up with you. We'll find a way out of this.

I shuddered. The last time he said that was my Sixteenth Moon, which had caused everything that had happened after to happen. Me running off with John Breed, being Claimed both Light and Dark, splitting the moon...

No, Ethan. This can't be stopped. The sacrifice has to be made. Otherwise, these problems will continue.

I know. I mean, what if the sacrifice isn't needed? There has to be another way right?

Ethan, please. I know you believe everything has more than one solution. But in this case, there isn't.

Don't give up, L. There has to be another way. We'll find it. Meet me after school. We'll go find Ms English.

I knew what he meant. Ms English, our English teacher with a glass eye(no kidding) was the Lilum- the Demon Queen. She would have the solution.

Alright we'll go.

He smiled and kissed me, before heading of to another class.

And as he walked off, I couldn't help but cry. There couldn't be another way, and if there weren't, how could I bear to break his heart?

I loved him as much as he loved me. Yet, this decision could destroy everything.

If I saved the world, I would shatter his. And if I saved his world, the world would be destroyed, so bent out of shape that no amount of retribution would be able to fix it.

Was Ethan more worth saving than the world?

That's it for this chapter! Next chap coming up soon!
