A/N Hi guys okay I know that this is 2 weeks late (not that that will
surprise many ppl lol) I have 2 very good reasons behind the lateness one
is that I have had art coursework to be in today so ive been working on
that and 2nd someone I knew died during the holidays and its sort of
distracted all of us. So the last 3 chaps of this fic are dedicated to the
memory of Hayley Williams. A girl with the voice of an angel that couldn't
stay on earth any longer.
Part 17
"So what happened yesterday after you left Cody's? Did Blake find you? You know he followed you don't you? What was all that in Cody's anyway?" Carla asked as she fell onto Ebony's bed. Ebony sighed as she walked over and collapsed next to her best friend. "Oops sore topic then." Carla said at the pained look on Ebony's face.
"Just a bit but people are going to find out now anyway so I guess I better tell you myself." Carla just nodded for her to continue. "Well after I left Cody's I went to the park, Blake didn't find me. He's left. In didn't even know he had followed me and as for Cody's class, well I'm sure that I shouted out that my Soulmate had raped someone." Carla sat up at that.
"Soulmate! Blake's your soulmate! Why didn't you tell me? Oh Goddess this is so cool."
"Yeah if you call knowing every single one of Blake's memories 'cool' how do you think I knew what he'd done. And now he's gone and I don't know when or if he's coming back, Chris says he will but I'm still not sure. Well at least I know Kayla doesn't want anything to do with him anymore. She told me last night and since then someone else has asked her out so she wasn't really single for long." Ebony said neutrally trying to keep her emotions about Blake out of her voice, still unsure of what his leaving ment to her.
"Chris? A guy Chris? Let's hear. Carla's voice peaked at the thought of a new guy in town. Ebony smiled.
"Yes, a guy Chris. He knows Blake or rather used to ' old friends' was all he would say about it."
"So then what does he look like then?" Carla tried to get iõˆñç@,@"So then what doe'÷¿ÿÿÿÿ\ñ\J÷¿ˆñç@,@'÷¿ÿÿÿÿ\ñ\J÷¿ˆñç@,@'s the guy I reckon Linds liked." Carla rambled on to herself as pieces clicked together in Ebony's mind.
"Maybe. Carla I've got to go see if I can find Chris. Maybe he does know something about what's going on between them. Could you go and check on Lindsey for me and tell her I'll see her tomorrow?" Ebony jumped off the be and rummaged under it for the pair of trainers she knew she'd chucked under there the night before when she 'tidied' her room. 'There' she thought as she grabbed then and stuffed her feet into them.
"Sure but why so over protective of Linds these days. Is it coz of what happened with Blake? He's gone now though so she should be okay." Carla said as she grabbed her stuff and followed Ebony down the stairs.
"I just have this feeling something bad is going to happen and she's going to be right in the middle of it." Was all she said before they left the house and Ebony headed away from Carla. She called back "I'll call you later."

Ebony yet again made her way towards the park, somehow knowing that that was where she would find Chris. The park was crowded with small children playing on the slides, swings and a few playing football. Ebony spotted Chris and slowly headed towards him trying to work out what she was ment to say to him. She watched as he talked to two boys, both about seven, he was crouched to their level so he could look them in the eye. He smiled at him the kicked the football he had been holding. The boys laughed and ran to chase it down the field. Ebony decided to just come out with it.
"Your real name is Ryan. Isn't it?" Chris turned to look at Ebony and smiled.
"I thought you'd work it out, especially with all of Blake's memories." He said as he stood up.
"It wasn't as much as his memories as Carla's ramblings." Ebony couldn't help but smile back at him. "You knew Lindsey." His smile faded.
"Please don't tell her I'm here." He asked quietly
"Why wouldn't you want her to know?"
"It's complicated."
"Not really. Your soulmates aren't you. It's just like me and Blake." He smiled again at that, a lost look in his eyes.
"You should know better then most that being soulmates isn't everything. Sometimes things happen that changed everything. Maybe one day we can sort things out but it won't be for a long time yet. I was fine for a friend, maybe a bit more, but she didn't want her one and only to be a shapeshifter. Please don't tell her I', here, I don't want her to know. Not yet. And with hat he turned from her to watch the two boys play football together. "sometimes I just wish for things to be simple again."

Lindsey waited or Carla to leave before reaching for the black covered book. 'Control and Power.' She smiled as her fingers brushed to words, a faint tingle of magick playing upon her fingertips. She gently turned the yellowing pages. New knowledge burning in her mind. On the last page was a single spell...'To Take the Power of Another.' Lindsey grinned as she grabbed the phone and quickly punched in the memorised number.
"It's Lindsey. Password...Fire. I'll do it. Yes I know the risks. Daybreak agents? Agent! No problem. It's a full moon tomorrow, it'll be done by midnight." The phone went dead and Lindsey put down the receiver.
Tomorrow night it would all be over.
