Me and the girls were watching Captain America: Civil war, eating popcorn and laying on Angela's bed. Angie was Team Iron man, while me and Cate were supporting the Captain. We were friendly arguing about the events on the screen, discussing which one of the actor is the hottest. For Cate it was Chris Evans, for Angie- Robert Downey, and for me-Sebastian Stan. There was something about his blue eyes and troublesome past of the character, Bucky, that reminded me of the similar pair of eyes of my mate Charles, the guy that helped me so much and hurt me so much. The love I feel for him is wrong, he literally crushed my world, insulted me and yet I even see him while looking at some actor with the same eye color. That night I went to his place, two days ago, I thought that first I would try to talk to him, lead a normal conversation. I still want to thank Charles for paying my semester (I had the right amount of money in me to pay him back), for protecting me, for caring. And maybe gather his hair from a comb. But I had underestimated the attraction between us and this lead to our first time and the followed ugly quarrel. And I hate myself for wanting his touch and I was repeating in my head every bad thing he called me to help me cope with this. Charles only sees me as a spoiled brat with hordes of men around her little finger. I barely knew the guy, we never had a normal conversation, other than the times he compelled me. I learned more about the vampire through his memories and it helped me see another side of his character- the caring, the rebellious. This soft side resurfaces only when he is around Mary, Raymond …and me. How can I be infatuated by someone who is so arrogant, controlling and in the same time gentle? That is one of the reasons I want to break this bond-I would know if my feeling for Charles are caused by it. The other reason –Victor. I honored his wish and we didn't spoke of my time with the vampire. But my boy was distant and then I told him that I was so sorry for hurting him, that I would let him go to find another, to be happy. I didn't want to, he still makes my knees go weak, but I can't selfishly torture him into a relationship with a girl, bonded to another. Victor then kissed our intertwined hands and said that he was not giving up on me that easy. We went on a restaurant and on a bottle of white wine, sea food, talked about everything besides vampires- movies, dreams, and our mutual memories. My sun promised me a trip to Venice the next summer. The whole evening we were holding hands and I remembered why I had a crush on him. I knew Victor so well-how he drinks his coffee, what movie he is in the mood for. How to tell which love is real-the one for a person, (who you know for years, had been through bad and good times together, and your beautiful friendship became a very good base of a healthy and long relationship),or for someone ( who pushed me into this hell, who both infuriates me and surprises how gentle he can be)?God help me, I find those two different men attractive and I was scared of tomorrow, Cora will break the bond .After I gave her some of my hair and Charles's, she said that it will take time to prepare the potion, and the witch called me and hour ago to tell me to come .
On the next day, I entered hand to hand with Victor, followed by Alexander, Daniel, Nick, the hunters and my mom. Rodrigo was driving Catherina home and Angela was on fitness. I hadn't told them, and I persuaded my mom not to either- no need of more people freaking out. Cora welcomed us with a kind smile. Nick stood next to me and wrapped one arm around my waist.-"So, how is this gone work?'".The witch explained that they have to make a circle and I to be in the centre of it. She will give me the potion and they mustn't break it.
Lucas wanted to know where Charles is and I closed my eyes and after reaching the bond, said that he is expecting them with 6 vampires.-"Piece of cake!''- Christian laughed and then both Victor and Nick wanted to come too.-"Vic, she is my sister, and I have to …".-''Selena is my girl…''-"No one wants to kill him more than me.""- Lucas added and their bickering lasted for several minutes until the hunters finally gave up and let Victor in the band. I was so afraid for him and kissed him like I would never see him again but he caressed my hair.-"Don't worry, princess, I will be back before you know it."- And just like that the four men went to kill Charles, Isabella and their help. Cora gave me a minute to calm down and after my nod, told my brother, mom and two friends to make a circle. I stood in the middle, breathing deeply, trying not to let my fear for Victor be shown or praying God that Charles escapes. -''It will hurt, dear.'"- Cora handed me the vial with some green liquid and after the encouraging wink from Daniel, Nick's nod and my mom's: ''You can do it.'', Alex's smile, I drank it. It tasted horrible, like vinegar, mixed with lemon juice and I grimaced. Then Cora began chanting some spell and the air changed-there were sparks around me and a fire appeared around the place I was standing.- ''Don't break the circle.''-The witch warned because my mom and Nick were about to reach out to me. Cora's incantations were making me dizzy, the heat from the fire made me sweat and soon I felt like a kick in the stomach and I groaned. Then it repeated for several times and each blow was stronger than the previous. I hadn't realized but I was on my hands and knees on the ground when something like a lightning hit me and the link I had to Charles was cut .I was still breathing hard, the fire was gone, then mom embraced me.-"It's over, honey.'"-With my blurry vision I saw a silhouette, a girl, dressed in white before me. The stranger (Phoebe Tonkin as Cassandra Blake, the murdered girl) had hazel eyes, long brown hair and blood covered her dress. When she met my gaze, a wicked smile appeared on her blue lips.- ''So you are Selena. I'm dead because of you.""- And the girl turned into a mist and ran through me. I let out a scream because I could feel claws digging into my skin, leaving bloody marks and I began spitting out blood. - ''What's going on ?!''- Someone said but I couldn't hear anything, even my screaming. Somebody's hands were holding me but my skin was burning .Then the ghost squeezed my heart and I heard her cold voice in my head.-"Now you will die, too." I was lying on the floor; Cora was muttering something, a spell. I was so cold, my mom was crying, Nick too. But then...Someone kneeled next to me and if I could speak, I would have cried.-"Dad!''My father (Johnny Depp as Christopher Porter) smiled down on me and caressed my cheek.-"I'm dying, dad!'"- I thought and his answer was.-"I will help you, my girl.'"- He leaned to kiss my forehead and behind my closed eyes I could see how the two sprits fought inside me and my dad defeated the vengeful one.-"'The damages from the ghost are too much for her.""- Cora said as I coughed blood again. -''I know a way that might keep her alive but …''- I couldn't hear the followed words, the pain was everywhere. The witch began chanting something and I felt sleepy. - ''You will be alright.''-Dad smiled and I replied mentally: ''Don't leave me, please. ''-''I never left you, my girl."'- he squeezed my palm as Cora said above me.-"The one you truly love and loves you back, will wake and heal you."'
Charles's POV
I was breathing hard after I fell on my knees- the bond is broken! The hunters had managed to kill three of us, Bella is tied up by Christian and still struggling while Jared and Lucas are shooting at the others. I ordered my niece and her mate as their maker not to come, to flee the country, despite their begging. I looked up to Victor, who to that moment was only defending himself, his shoulder was bleeding. I wanted for so long to ruin his handsome face, to claw his eyes out and I smiled picturing it.
''Selena is free from you!"- The man saw the energy outburst and he shot an arrow from the crossbow but I caught it mid air.- ''Funny, I remember her begging me so sweetly.'" – Victor growled and jumped me and we began to exchange blows. My nails dug into his wound and the man with an angry cry punched me into the eye.
"Why are you so eager to die for this brat, Victor?''- I had thrown the man on ground and was choking him.-"Get off him, Charles."'- Lucas Price had put a knife on my throat and laughing I stood up and faced the hunter.
''Ready to meet your dear sister?''- The vampires were burned down and the only one alive was Isabella but Jared was about to end her the same way. A ringtone made me turn around before I rush in to aid my lover.
"Your timing is awful, Nick!''- Victor said, wiping the blood from his split lip. Something bad happened, to Selena! Victor's eyes were starting to water, his hands began shaking as he said.- ''Lena is dying….she is in some sorts of coma."
Who is her true love? Will Selena awake and heal? Will Charles die?
