Chapter 11
She was running. Leaving Soraia standing next to the car, pushing away the feeling of ever growing darkness, she ran. There he was. Golden hair, gleaming blue-grey eyes. Everyone in Circle Daybreak had stopped to look when he had called her name. She didn't care. She was running to him, to her soulmate. Thierry and Hannah were smiling from the head of the group.
She rushed into his arms, holding him tightly, never wanting to let go. He kissed her, their minds connecting, ignoring the cheers and clapping coming from the mass beside the mansion.
Their embrace had to be interrupted, though. Soraia came up beside her. "Come on, Aurora. There's something we have to do."
Aurora looked up into those striking blue-green eyes. Soraia smiled at her knowingly.
They walked together, joining the crowd. Rashel reached out and touched Aurora's arm. "It's good to see you, girl." Poppy was beaming from James' side. Ash tousled her hair, the girl holding his hand smiling.
Aurora gave him a sly grin. "So this must be Mary-Lynette, the girl you needed to slay a dragon for."
"In deed she is." He pulled Mary-Lynette closer, kissing her forehead.
So many humans, she thought. She laughed to herself, pulling closer to Aden, feeling the connection grow stronger as they walked into the darkness of the desert. She never thought she'd be fighting with Circle Daybreak again. Even if she had to die, she didn't want anyone to live in a world without sunlight. She never wanted anyone in the future to live without their soulmate. And she wanted everyone to be able to see the light just before the sun came over the horizon.
