From the last chapter
The whole family's mouths dropped opened, giving an imitation of a bunch of goldfish, but the silence in the room feels that it could be cut with a knife.
Minerva couldn't believe it, she had lost a son and daughter. Jayden was disowned but Zoe was still part of the family. She went into her room and look around. There are lots of things that Zoe once owned. The stuffed tabby, the soft rug, the paintings that Zoe had done… and her wand that is still on her desk, brought up here by Ria. Minerva sat on her bed and saw a glass orb on the cupboard, which brought back the memory of a conversation between her and Zoe a few months ago, the conversation Zoe mentioned before she died.
"Mum, you know that I am a seer, don't you" Zoe asked her mother.
"Course I do. You are the only seer that I would pay any attention to." Minerva smiled fondly at her daughter.
"Well, I saw something a couple nights ago and it wasn't very nice." Zoe said.
"And what might that be?" Minerva asked her.
"My death." Zoe answered.
Minerva was shocked. Zoe was only 15, the same age as Tashina when she died. Why would she suddenly see her own death?
"I see." Minerva said calmly. "And when will that be?"
"It will be a couple months later." Zoe whispered.
Minerva gasped. Her daughter is going to die a few months later. She is dying at the same age as Tashina.
"Who will kill you?" Minerva asked nervously.
"I know it, but I can't say. Mom, I believe some of us have this ability to see because we will not attempt to change fate. Fate is not something we can meddle with. Anyway, telling you who killed me will be a huge blow to you. Now that I am still here, I do not want you to plot against him as if you do, you will be fighting a huge internal battle. Moreover, you cannot stop it. I just hope that when you know who killed me, don't hold a grudge against him. Do whatever you feel necessary but please do not hold a grudge against him. Also, when I die, do not mourn over me as I did for Tashina. It would not be wise. Promise me that." Zoe told her.
"I promise." Minerva answered her.
Now, after knowing who killed her daughter, she just doesn't want to believe it. She remembered her promise to Zoe, but she just didn't know how on earth can she keep that promise. She walked into Zoe's old bedroom and noticed a letter addressed to her. Curiosity got better of her and she broke the seal of the envelope and read a letter inside.
Dear Mom
If you are reading this, it means I am dead already. Please remember the promise you made to me not long ago and do not grieve or mourn for me. Tashina will take care of me and we will meet again one day. Now I guess you know who my murderer is. You may wonder why I was able to be around him yet did not reveal him. I hope that he would still be alive even after my death. After all, he is my brother and Jira would be broken too as Jayden is his twin. You may also wonder how come I did not try to change his mind. The answer is that is not possible. Jayden decided to go to the wrong side and we can't help him. I would love to, really I would, but I can't. You have no idea how I felt in these few months, how I watched him act normally, yet knowing that his heart is gradually turning blacker and blacker. I just felt totally helpless. Now that I am in peace, please do not kill him if he is still alive. I shall be waiting for you. Tell dad and all my siblings that I love them and letting Jayden kill me was the hardest thing. Also, tell Hermione that I am sorry we did not have much time to be her sister. I will be watching over you all.
Zoe
Minerva sat down on Zoe's bed. She recalled many memories of Zoe. The day she was born, the day she said her first word, the day she took her first step, the day she got her first injury… She was lost in her memories.
Hermione, worried about her mother, came to search for her and that is how she found Minerva, sitting on Zoe's bed and lost in her own world. She gently helped her mother up and led her to the door.
Minerva paused at the doorway, looking inside and said out loud "Zoe, I shall keep my promise to you. I will get on my life, knowing that someday, we will meet again." Then she followed Hermione down the stairs, telling Hermione about the message that Zoe wanted her to tell Hermione.
High up in the sky, where there is eternal happiness for the people on the good side and eternal torture for people on the dark side. Zoe gave a sigh of relief at the sight of her mother not mourning as she did for Tashina. She got up and went back to her sister. They would watch over the family and wait for them, but now, there was just too much of catching up to do.
