Chapter 1
The gold flash
Airiana was alive.
She was lying in the middle of the road.
But still alive.
The car had smoke rising from where the flames had been.
Jez wasn't bleeding. And she herself looked surprised.
Delos wasn't bleeding. And he himself was surprised too.
Illiana wasn''t even there.
The fourth wildpower.
That silvery mist was so mush thicker now.
Airiana struggled to her feet, uninjured, as the she could make out a figure in the mist.
Lexi was on the ground, over with the group.
As the figure emerged the first thing she saw was an arm, blood branching down his arm.
Then she looked up.
And her heart picked up pace.
Her eyes watered and questions lingered in the air.
"Jeremy..." She whispered.
He smiled as he got closer.
She ran to him, it seemed he was taking forever to reach her.
She cauht him in an embrace.
Pressing her chin to his shoulder.
They were still the same height.
It had felt like an eternity since she'd seen his face.
Airiana stepped back to look at him.
His eyes.
They were...purple.
He was a vampire again.
"How..." Airiana trailed off.
"I guess we got our second chance." Jeremy replied.
"We...?"
Jeremy smiled, eyes watering.
He moved aside and stared into the silver mist.
A smaller figure emerged.
Sam.
Sam began to run towards her.
Airiana began to run towards her.
Sam jumped up and Airiana caught him, wrapping her arms around him.
Once she put him down she was staring into glorious purple eyes, just like her own. She dropped to her knees.
"You've gotten so big." She commented. Tears biting her voice.
"Yeah. I'm almost 13 now." He said. That voice. That childish, soft, projected sound.
Airiana laughed and hugged him again.
His biggest dream.
"It wasn't your fault. But forgive you anyway." Sam whispered in Airiana's ear.
She smiled.
Ash and Mary-Lynette were extremely uncomfortable.
They snuck over to the car and slid in unseen.
"What the hell." Ash gasped.
"Oh, this is my worst nightmare." Mary-Lynette groaned.
"Tell me 'bout it." Ash said.
Mary-Lynette bit down on her bottom lip.
God help me, she thought.
Ash's ever-changing eyes were staring into her's.
Airiana was on the right, Sam was in the middle, and Jeremy was on the left.
They all joined hands and began the not-so-lonely walk home.
"Why- How are you here?" Airiana asked.
"You know those gold flashes..." Jeremy began.
"That was us." Sam finished.
"The gold flashes."
Both of the boys nodded.
"Then how are you a wildpower?" Airiana asked.
"Oh, you know the prophecy..." Jeremy replied.
"One from the land of the kings long forgotten;
One from the hearth which still holds the spark;
One from the dayworld where two eyes are watching;
One from the twilight to be one with the dark.
Where so you fit in."
"I'm associated with the last line." Jeremy said.
"From the twilight to be one with the dark...?"
"Yes. There's the day world, the twilight, and the night world."
"The twilight."
"The inbetween world. Then I was sent back here, and I'm part of the nightworld." Jeremy said.
Airiana was dumbstruck.
Jeremy was right.
Her twin brother was the last wildpower.
Back at Thierry's house, things were weirder than usual.
Awkward, even.
Jeremy and Sam had seated themselves on a lounge together while Airiana was pacing, talking to her school over the phone.
She was enrolling Jeremy and afterwards she had to call the junior office to enrol Sam.
There was a click at the door as Triston arrived.
He dropped the bag from the chemist and walked up to Airiana.
"Oh thank god your ok." He whispered, cupping her face in his hands.
Triston turned and saw Jeremy.
"Jeremy." He said sounding confused.
He gaped.
"Sam." his voice coated in disbelief.
He was frowning but couldn't take his eyes off Sam.
He couldn't move.
He was immobilised.
Frozen.
"Your supposed to be dead." He said in high pitch voice.
Sam smiled and shrugged.
Triston turned to Airiana, "He's supposed to be dead."
A small smile warmed Airiana's distraught.
Triston soothed into a trance, staring at the blank wall.
Jeremy rose and walked up to Triston.
Triston snapped back into focus and looked at Jeremy.
He smiled and chuckled. He grasped Jeremy's hand and connected his own shoulder to Jeremy's.
Sam was next, but Triston just hugged him normally.
Airiana's smile got bigger and bigger.
All thanks to the gold flash.
