Chapter Six: BreyBrook

BreyBrook. The small prosperous town covered with green fields, tall mountains and and peace. The one place I call home although I thought about going back to Paradias, I guessed it would be the first place both my friends and enemies would look for me.

Flying all that way with only recently awakened powers proved to be a draining thing for me so when I landed, I felt really weak and dizzy until I passed out. When I woke up, I saw I was in a small house with bright sunlight entering the room.
"Wow, I missed the sunlight here."I winced.
"You should consider yourself lucky I found you."
"Nice to see a familiar face."

I didn't think out of all places I would run into Maria here in BreyBrook. She must have moved here after I left which is why I never saw until Vampira. I remained worried about Ceil and Jack more than Zane. Ceil and Jack could be easily killed but more and more I knew my father would be on the hunting list too after they trace him to me.

The town hadn't changed although I met up with old friend Amber. She doesn't know much about my family and I'd rather leave the sorceress part about me a secret until the war was over once and for all.
"I didn't think you would be back so soon."Amber said.
"It was a spur-the-moment decision, trust me."
"So how's life in Paradias?"
"What can I say, Amber? Never a dull moment there. No war wounds yet?"
"The war hasn't reached this part yet thank goodness for that. Besides we can look after ourselves."
"I'm the one who taught you how to swordfight. So it would be thanks to me if you survive."
"Can you let me have one moment of glory?"
"Only when I can't take any credit for it."
"Oh, so never."
"Better believe it!"

After heading to the lake for a swim, I went underwater to relax even more then this current pushed me under even further down then I opened my eyes and I was back onshore but I saw Zane there reaching out his hand for me but I couldn't reach it in time. Then I came out of the lake now it's sunset and I saw Amber waving at me.
"What are you doing, Jess?"
"You tell me."
I was still wet a bit so I decided to stay by the lake until I looked somewhat dry.
"Why were you in the lake?"
"I was only there for a swm but I guess I stayed out there too long."
"I'll say."
"I used to hate swimming as well."
"You've changed, Jessi."
"How'd you mean?"
"You look more tough, more mature and well just different. Like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders."
"Do I?"
"Yeah, what happened really?"
"I can't tell you not because I don't want to but because I have to at least until the end of this war."
"...Fine."
"I got married."
"What!"
"Swear."

Later that day at the house, I couldn't stop thinkng about that weird vision I had at the lake just looking at my hand for hours like it would give me answers. When I saw Amber today, I realised something. Something important. My mind is made up and no-one could change that,

Maria came back later that day but when she saw me, she knew what I was thinking.
"Are you sure, Jessi? You know you might never survive on the front lines."
"I know I won't come home alive but this war has to end...besides you never know your true strength until you've been tested."
"One way or another, Jessi. This war is going to end. I know that one day the fate of humans and vampires will be in your hands or someone else's."

Around when dawn started to break, I saw a colourful sky and smiled at its beauty. A tear rolled down my face as I looked at the colourful sky.

Maybe the future has been written. I don't know. I do know one thing, what I have learnt over that experience is to never stop fighting and I never will.

My battle began that day...
