Kendra's POV
"Garden's beautiful today"
I looked up. Bracken was standing there gazing at the wonderful flourishes that surrounded him, "3... 2...1…" I said standing. Fairies gathered and started chattering in excitement. I had been enjoying a lovely spring afternoon in the garden waiting for Bracken. When he was here I felt loved… but I also felt incomplete and empty. Bracken and I were so similar we were compatible... right?
I was now 16 and I had taken on some responsibility around fablehaven. Seth was doing fine, he was just the same old same old seth getting in trouble and wishing for more excitement.
"Hey you ok?"
I smiled up at bracken and replied "yeah just lost in thought". He had his hand around me, it rubbed my shoulder and I felt warm inside. Bracken smiled back. "I can tell" he said. I leaned in and rested my head on his shoulder.
A whistle split across the yard calling us for an early dinner. It was a festival night and we had to in before sunset.
After dinner I sat at my vanity and looked in the mirror, i thought i saw a flash out of the corner of my eye but before i could check it out i heard a clatter outside and a loud OW. i opened the door and warren was standing there holding his foot. "We really need to fix that last step" he muttered. I noticed the top of the step came off, i peered in… there in the step lay a beautiful locket with a dragon design on it. I reached for the locket and put it on…
Warren POV
"Umm... Kendra"
Wow she's totally out.
Kendra looked like a haze had invaded her mind, as quickly as it came it left. "Hey I came to check to see if your windows were locked" I said cautiously. "Sure" she said. That was weird. I shrugged it off.
It'll be fine… I hope.
Kendra POV
I was floating just skimming the pool of dreams they called me "kendra...kendra...wake up...show a demon prince a little light...you can't resist me…" there was a pause I felt finger tips brush my face someone whispered in my ears. Just the voice gave me tingles but the words made me nauseous. "You belong to me". I slowly opened my eyes and screamed, but a hand clamped my mouth. He smiled and came very close, he closed his eyes and got next to my ear his breath going down my neck " i'm back".
