Lookee! An update! And I only got three reviews! -Sadface-...


'No!' My scream was full of pain and terror.

I turned back on Visinio, and the full force of all five elements blasted into him. He would not remain alive a second time…

But although I was killing my father, something inside me told me that Ello was still dead. This time, I didn't ignore the feeling.

Was there something I could do? I knew in my heart that there was. But what? Even I cannot bring the dead back to life.

Maybe I should never have tried.

I knew it wasn't right. But when the idea came to me, I acted upon it without a thought. I would have done anything to get Ello back.

Once again, I pulled the Life Force out of my Father. But this time, I did not let it disperse into the air. This time, I channelled it into my sister's fiancee's body.

'Nova?' I whispered. She heard, perfectly, and turned to me. 'Is- Is he gone?'

'Yes, Nyx. It's okay. He's gone. You killed him.' She soothed.

'No.' It was almost funny, in a sick, weird kind of way. 'Ello.'

Nyah turned to me, a smile of pure joy on her face.

'You did it, Nyx, you saved him. Thank you.' She said softly. I smiled back, draining the last of my energy. I collapsed backwards, but just before everything went black, I felt strong arms catch me.


I was going to leave it there for this chapter, but it was only 285 words...


Soon after, I awoke in my room. I kept my eyes closed for a minute, recalling everything that had happened. Then my eyes shot open and I began to sit up.

'Ello!' I gasped. Strong arms pushed me back onto the bed I lay on. Strong arms... Strong arms that had caught me when I fell. Strong arms I recognised...

'He's okay, Nyx. So is everyone else.'

'Erebus!' I cried. Erebus had been my friend since, well, since forever. What seemed like an age ago, he had gone off to the other side of the realm, to fight Evil. I looked up into the face I knew so well, and relaxed instantly. He smiled.

'Yes, Nyx. It's me. And I must say, you seem to care very much for this God, to say he is your sisters betrothed.' I checked that no one else was in the room, and then broke down into tears on my best friends shoulder. He comforted me, and soon I was telling him everything: That first meeting in the kitchens, all the secret meetings afterwards, the Ceremony, my failed attempt to stay away from him, everything.

He didn't judge me as he should have done. In fact, he didn't say anything. He just held me until it was over, until I was alright again.

I should have realised then what he felt for me, but I was blinded – by both pain and love. Pain and love. Now they were two different things. Before, I hadn't been so sure.

We could have stayed talking for Earth hours. But then we heard a crash from somewhere nearby. And then a scream. I looked at Erebus. We ran.


Oooh! Plot twist! And a really quick update! 6 days! Proud of me? Tell me in a review! (Yes, I am begging...)
