Not Too Late For Love
Chapter 14: Soulmate Link
Nilsson broke through the surface of the water first. It was freezing and he struggled for breath. But he also knew that Kaitlin had once again saved his life.
He coughed up water and tread water. He watched as Keller and Galen broke the surface and yelled, "Where's Kaitlin?" Galen looked round. "I thought she was with you!"
Galen began to thrash around looking around for his sister.
That's all Nilsson needed to hear and he dived beneath the surface again and propelled himself downwards.
He was not going to lose her now. Not after everything they had been through. Not when they were so close.
The water was an inky black and it took all his concentration to see anything at all. "Kaitlin!" He screamed. He knew it would be freezing for her. The change in temperature could be dangerous for her and he was terrified.
He pushed himself further until his lungs were screaming. He knew he'd have to feed after this.
He didn't care. He had to find her. Now.
He saw her at the bottom of the lake. He pushed himself towards her. Screaming her name with his thoughts all the time. He pulled her from the bottom and broke to the surface.
Keller and Galen were already out on the bank searching the water. He pulled her onto the bank and laid her down. She wasn't breathing. "No Kaitlin, please!" Nilsson moaned burying his head in her damp hair.
He felt the cord humming but it was weak. He had an idea. He searched for their cord. He felt her weak response but knowing she was there made him stronger.
He pulled with everything he had. He waited and nothing happened. "No!" He moaned. Her breathing was getting weaker.
Why wasn't she coming back to him? He found their link and pulled again. He found resistance. Something was holding her back.
He made the decision and bit her neck. Her thoughts exploded around him. Panic, fear and confusion. "Kaitlin!" He yelled. This was the world of his soulmate. Colours of the rainbow and pieces of a person no one but him would ever see.
This was the real Kaitlin. But these colours were bleak and grey and he knew he was close to losing her. Something was pulling her away from him.
"Kaitlin!" He yelled again. He ran through her thoughts searching for her life force. Why, even here was it so weak she could hardly feel her. He was inside her thoughts her presence should be all around him.
"NILSSON!"
The scream penetrated his thoughts and a black cloud of fear so profound he found he couldn't breathe engulfed him. His fear for Kaitlin's life swallowed any caution he had left.
His love for her was stronger than any fear he had and he forced his legs to move.
He had to get to her. He had to be there for her. He had to prove to her that he could be there for her.
"Kaitlin!" He yelled forcing himself through the fear that wanted to make him run and hide and forget about his mission to save his soulmate. But his love for Kaitlin was stronger and he knew that if he didn't get to her his heart would never survive.
He would never survive.
There were strange beings here. They were pulling and pushing him. They didn't want him near Kaitlin he had to fight with his thoughts. Yell at them physically and mentally push them away. "Leave her alone!" he bellowed
Kaitlin had thought she had been terrified when she had faced Red Fern but that was nothing to how she felt now. She was beyond terror. She had no idea where she was or how she could get back.
What's more there were things stopping her from getting back. She had no idea where she was or if anyone had even missed her. The last thing she remembered was knowing they had to get out of that building, seeing the fire behind them and crashing through the window into the snow below.
She remembered Power, raw hot power rising up within her and she remembered letting it free and it tearing from her and pummelling into the snow below her before all four of them had crashed through the ice into the freezing depths of the lake.
But this wasn't the lake she'd landed in so how in hell had she got here?
She looked around wherever the hell here was.
It looked like a tunnel. That was the only word she could use to describe it. A long tunnel. One end was all black and dark and Kaitlin's fear of the dark that she had thought she had long over come came roaring back. The other end was all golden light. Sliver and white. Light.
She was drawn to that end of the tunnel but something kept her routed to the spot in the centre of the tunnel. Something was chasing her. It kept touching her. Whispering in her ears. "Leave me alone!" She screamed. She had promised herself she wouldn't be scared but all that was forgotten in the height of her panic.
She didn't want to be here no more. She was being pushed and pulled whispers she couldn't make out were ordering her to do things she didn't want to do. Go forward! They whispered go back. Others whispered
In her fear she did nothing. She stayed where she was refusing to move. All she wanted to do was go home and instinctively she knew that by doing what the faceless voices wanted she wouldn't be able to go home.
Just then a force stronger than she had ever felt before, black, dark energy came at her from out of nowhere. She screamed as it pushed her over
"NILSSON!"
She clawed the ground trying to get a grip so that the energy couldn't push her from the path. She wouldn't be beaten. They would not beat her.
But she could feel them getting closer, feel them clawing at her. They wanted her to do their bidding, she was powerful they said she could help them.
But she knew that if she let go now they'd plunge her into eternal darkness without a second thought. That was somewhere she had no intention of going.
She was not going to be beaten now, not after everything that had happened to her. They were just so strong.
She hated the dark. But the light seemed so dangerous too…
"Kaitlin!" The voice penetrated her brain and she whipped round and there was Nilsson surrounded by an unearthly sliver glow.
He looked like an angel.
Her avenging angel.
He'd come for her.
"Nilsson," She whispered. "Come back this way honey please." He said She started to step in that direction and another voice said "No Kaitlin this way." Nilsson had run in from the light end of the tunnel and was breathing deeply but when he stood he looked at her and her eyes implored her to come to him.
She looked between the two of them not knowing which way to turn. Now what did she do?
Nilsson stared at the other side of the tunnel seeing another copy of himself staring at Kaitlin with the same expression he always wore when he looked at her.
He should have got here sooner…
He watched as she looked between the two of them looking as lost and as vulnerable as when he had first rescued her from the vampire. That seemed so long ago now.
"Kaitlin come with me." His dark self said. "We have to get out of here." Nilsson said nothing. He just sent out waves of calming love and watched as it engulfed her.
She looked at him with large green-gold eyes and said, "What do I do? Just a short time ago I didn't have a soulmate now I have two. I don't want to stay here…"
"You can't." Nilsson said staring at her, remembering what she looked like so he could lock the image of her in his heart because he knew now that to get her out he had to remain here.
"Kaitlin honey your two important." "Destroy him!" His black self hissed "Destroy him before he keeps the both of us here. We have to leave." "He's right." Nilsson conceded. "How do I know which one of you loves me?"
She whispered. "I'll love you from now until forever." Nilsson said without a heartbeat. "Me too." His dark side said his eyes implored her to believe him.
Without warning her eyes burned red and blue fire erupted around her entire person engulfing her.
"KAITLIN!" Nilsson screamed. She looked at him. Her eyes were as blood red as he had ever seen them.
"Either one of you backs down or I kill you both because I'm NOT staying here." "Kaitlin you have to believe me," The darkness called its eyes growing round and huge at the power surge Kaitlin had unknowingly gave it. "Kaitlin I'm Nilsson you haven't to believe that impostor."
"Kill us both Kait." Nilsson said He would give up his life before he saw Kaitlin stuck here in this bleak place amongst the dark. The thing she hated most.
"It's the only way Sweetheart. I'll love you from now until forever. I'll watch over you and keep you safe forever my Brave Heart." He smiled.
Kaitlin's eyes widened. Brave Heart no one but Nilsson called her that! That was his nickname for her. Tears spilled down her cheeks. He had been willing to die to make sure she got out of this living hell.
And that was when she knew they'd survive. He'd come for her. Their soulmate link had bound them together forever.
She closed her eyes and felt along their link sending waves of sliver light round him and then she the Power that had been hidden from her for so long. It buried her, engulfed her and she set it free.
She could see nothing but blue. She heard Nilsson call her name but she couldn't reply. There was a roaring in her ears and her eyes were filled with blue. She watched as it destroyed all the dark teachers it touched and then the bridge was free.
She called it back before she lost the little control she had. It came rushing back like a flash fire engulfing her. And then there was nothing.
She turned round and there was a figure stood on the bridge. It nodded to her and stepped aside and there was Nilsson.
She was laughing and crying all at once and she stumbled into his arms. She was where she belonged.
Nilsson swept her up against him swinging her off the floor. He was kissing every part of him he could reach. "Don't do anything so stupid ever again." He whispered fiercely.
"Don't you know I can't live without you."
"I love you." She whispered kissing him and kissing him again. Then she felt a swish and knew the true watcher of the bridge was at last setting them free.
They had survived.
Galen and Keller watched as Nilsson had bitten Kaitlin and collapsed beside her. They kept a vigil and Galen couldn't help cry out as his sister convulsed violently as though in pain but neither of them, no matter what they tried could wake the unconscious Soulmates.
"Nilsson will get her back Galen." Keller said rubbing her soulmate's back. Galen had tired to hide the fact he had been crying from Keller but it was impossible. He just couldn't accept that he had found her after so long only for her to be taken from him again.
"She's coming back." Keller said again more strongly. Keller had to believe that they would because she didn't think she could handle it if they didn't. Not after everything they'd gone through.
Everything they'd done to get her out. No! She had to survive it just couldn't end like this.
Just then there was a huge gasp and Nilsson was pulling Kaitlin up. "Oh thank god!" Galen threw himself at his twin and she threw her arms around his neck saying over and over again "I love you Galen." "I love you too Lynny" Galen sobbed.
The tears fell freely down his face. His twin was safe. He let her go and cuffed the tears from his eyes and held out his hand to Nilsson. "I owe you more than I can ever explain you saved her. You're my brother from now on." Nilsson took Galen's hand smiling. They'd done it!
Kaitlin was safe.
She was safe and alive. And that was all that mattered to him. He shook Galen's and then Galen hauled him into a bear hug.
Kaitlin was hugging Keller. "You got me out how can I ever say thank-you?" She said tears filling her eyes. "By being alive and being you." Galen said.
Keller smiled and said. "How about we get the hell out of here. I spotted a hanger and I think its been protected from the blast."
They were all more than ready to leave.
They found a black van. It had been saved from the blast by rock it was situated in. They clambered in and Keller gunned the engine. They tore out of the hanger and headed back to Daybreak.
The news had spread quickly that Kaitlin had made it out. The reception she got on her return was phenomenal. She had never felt more loved or wanted in her life and it was then she realised that she had finally found what she had been searching for all this time.
She had been searching for herself.
And in that bunker she had found her and the one she loved most in the world.
Nilsson gripped her hand as they waited outside Thierry's room. Nilsson didn't let her out of his sight now. It wasn't overbearing. He knew better than to try and et her to do something she didn't want to do but it was a comfort to know someone loved her enough to be with her every second of every day.
The door opened and Thierry smiled and motioned them in.
His face was a picture of relief as he regarded Kaitlin across the desk in his office. "I am so pleased your back safe and well." "I wouldn't be without Nilsson." She smiled at her soulmate. "The others helped." Nilsson said blushing slightly looking at his boss.
Kaitlin saw it but didn't back down. "I didn't see anyone else on that bridge Nilsson." She said. She looked at Thierry and he nodded "She's night Nilsson. None us could have gone where you did."
"Thierry I have something to tell you." Kaitlin said at last. Nilsson knowing what was coming took her hand and squeezed her hand. "What is it?" "Red Fern knew I was the Wild Power from the beginning he was my "father" back in the world you put me in."
Thierry went very still all at once. "That's not possible." He whispered. "Red Fern hasn't been seen…" "For seventeen years." Kaitlin cut across him. "He kidnapped me and kept me in that portal. He doesn't know I'm Aurora Drache. Thank God but he knew I was the wild power and he was trying to get me to change sides. Failing that he would have killed me but I found my way through the portal."
Thierry looked at Nilsson. "It's true." Nilsson said I never saw him but there was Maya's blood in that building besides if Kaitlin says its true then its true." Thierry nodded and then looked at his faithful servant again. "We failed Nilsson on a catastrophic scale."
Nilsson closed his eyes. "Don't remind me. If I think about it I might have to think about how close I came to losing Kaitlin." Kaitlin put her head in his shoulder. "There's something else."
Nilsson looked at her. He had known she had been keeping something from him but every time he asked she said nothing. It was like she was keeping it under lock and key.
"Nilsson doesn't even know yet. I was afraid that if I kept it close to the surface I'd never make it out of the Bunker."
"Must be something important." Thierry said grimly. "You could say that. I have no doubt that if Red Fern knew I knew he would have killed me." "He nearly succeeded anyway." Nilsson spat. "The next time we meet one of us will die."
Kaitlin wasn't sure how to say this so she just decided to get it over with. "Thierry, what I'm about to tell you, you really aren't gonna like but you need to know because if we don't do something about it Daybreak will die."
Thierry's eyes widened. "Tell me." He said simply. Kaitlin took a deep breath. "There's a mole in Daybreak." She said quietly but she had said it in precise tones and so no one had missed what she had said.
"WHAT?"
Nilsson and Thierry thundered together. "You heard me." Kaitlin said. "In one of the smaller branches in England."
For the first time Kaitlin knew why Thierry was one of the Elders of the Night World there was a power coming off him that you could practically see Nilsson was sat rigid with cold fury in every line of his face.
"We need someone to go after them." Thierry said. Kaitlin was about to say she would when Thierry looked at her and said "No way. You and the other Wild Powers are running."
"NO WAY!" Kaitlin screamed. "This is as much my fight as anyone else's. I can fight Thierry." "I never said you couldn't." Thierry said "But you're the fourth Wild Power you're the Key. You're the future of the world you can't be put in anymore danger than you already are. Don't you see Kait? Without you we can't win."
Kaitlin thought about it and knew that whichever way she looked at it Thierry was right. "Your not going Brave Heart." Nilsson said gently "I'm not letting you. For once in your life you're running."
She nodded. "I know. It's just hard."
"I know." Nilsson said.
"So who are you going to send?" He asked turning to Thierry. "Lupe." He said. "She's the best tracker we have."
Kaitlin nodded. "Bring her here. She needs to know before the rest of Daybreak."
Ten minutes later Lupe was as coldly furious as Nilsson and Thierry. "I'll break them." She said savagely. "No one puts my friends in danger."
"We need to tell the others." Kaitlin said, "I'll call the meeting. Everyone has to be there in ten minutes."
And so Daybreak began to lock down.
Okay so there you have it. The End
