Prologue

The world was going in slow motion for Alina Evans, as she stood on that beach. She was frozen in that spot, in complete shock as Eric pointed thousands of missiles towards the naval ships in the water, housing thousands of innocent men. She felt a grip on her arm, she span her head in the direction of the grip to see her best friend with a look of pure fear on her face. Raven was scared, of what was going on, what could happen and what would happen.

BANG, BANG, BANG, the sound rang through the air as Moira poised her gun at the metal manipulator and kept shooting, he easily reflected the bullets
"Moira Stop" Alina cried, she had a bad feeling about this, but the concentration to remain up right was clouding her head. The feeling of immense fear was making her dizzy it was over whelming. She grasped onto Ravens arm. This many people was not doing anything for her migraine.

"AHHHHHHH" Alina forced her head in the sound of the scream, she saw Charles fall in pain.
"Nooo" Eric screamed as he let the missiles fall as he ran to his fallen friend. Moira was in shock at what had just happned, one of the stray bullets had hit Charles. Alina snapped out of her stupor and pushed her self towards the man groaning in agony on the sand.

"Charles" she whimpered, tears clouding her vision, instead of pain. Nothing was effecting anymore her mind was on one track, CHARLES.
"Alina"
"This is all your fault" Eric roared at Moira who was staring into the barrel of her gun.
"Eric stop it was not her fault"
"Yes it was"
"It was no ones fault I do not blame anyone" he said closing his eyes as Alina lifted his head onto her lap and ran her fingers through his hair in a last ditch attempt to help him deal with the pain.

Eric dropped the gun and fell to the ground next to his fallen friend
"What hurts, my dear friend"
"Nothing, but I cant feel my legs" Charles whispered
"No" Moira whispered crawling towards them
"NO YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM" Alina cried
"Alina" Charles said raising his arm to hold her hand,
"No she has to stay over there" Alina said tears falling heavily now as she grasped on to Charles' hand
"My darling" he whispered "I'll be okay" he said stroking her hand, his calmness washed over her as she cried
"How can you be so calm"
"Because I have you" he smiled at her as she lent over pressing her forehead against his, the tears still flowing down her face from those breathtaking dark emerald eyes.
