Part 25
Amber nodded. "That's pretty much a given," she said with a smile. "But where did he and Cisara go?"
"He can't have been *that* badly hurt if he was on his feet," Andreas pointed out."
Sarah didn't like the tone of obvious disgust in his voice. "No one asked you to come," she snapped. "If you don't like Edan, then why are you here at all? Being an asshole isn't going to help anyone."
Andreas shrugged. "Because I'm a Daybreaker, and the mission matters more than my personal feelings." He made a face Sarah couldn't really understand. "Particularly when soulmates are involved."
Sarah didn't get it, but wasn't going to complain. She may not like him either, but his fighting skills might come in handy some time in the near future.
"You used your soulmate connection to break the control spell to get to Edan," Amber cut in, looking over at Sarah.
Sarah nodded. "He hasn't been answering me."
//Edan?// she called again through the soulmate link. //Answer me dumbass//.
She waited, but no reply came. She shrugged helplessly. Amber left the room, Andreas shrugged too. He didn't know what Amber was doing either. About five minutes later Amber came back with a crystal on a silver chain, and a map of the area.

He could hear Sarah's mental call through the soulmate link. Edan wanted to answer her, but couldn't. His plan wouldn't work if Cisara got a clue as to what was going on. He sat beside her in her limo. She was more than happy to leave Helenia to deal with the Daybreakers and escape with her trophy.
"It's not like you and that human could have had any sort of relationship, anyway," she had an arm around her shoulders, held him close to her while sipping a martini. "If you really were a Daybreak person, you'd be with them already."
Edan grunted and just shrugged carelessly.
"You'll like Paris," she went on as the limo pulled up at an airfield where a private jet was waiting. Another long black limo was waiting there too.
Edan smiled mirthlessly. "I've been to Paris. Totally overrated."
Cisara stared at him as if he were crazy. She shook her head in bemusement. "So uncultured. Whatever. We're going, end of story."
The driver opened the door for them. Edan got out first, offering his hand to Cisara. The door of the other limo was opening.
"Going somewhere?"
The voice was not Jora's, as Edan had expected, but a beautiful girl with long black hair, dressed in a ninja outfit, holding a crossbow, trained on Cisara.
Cisara blinked, so did Edan.
"Huh?" Cisara scowled, her moth opened, but closing again as more people emerged from the shadows around them, most with crossbows. Jora was one of them, nodding her thanks to the ninja girl. "Thanks Rashel."
The girl called Rashel smiled. "Any time."
Edan heard tyres screeching as a third car came to an abrupt halt close to where Cisara's limo had stopped. Edan's expression of confusion turned into a huge grin as Sarah got out. A smile lit up her face as she saw him. He reached out for her, sweeping her into a deep and passionate kiss. The magic of their soulmate connection sparkled and fizzed, filling them with warmth and light.
They clung to each other tightly. No words were spoken, but as they watched Rashel, Jora and the other Circle Daybreak people lead Cisara away, they both knew all the drama, stress and heartache, had been worth it now they were together.
THE END.
